PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 16

A legal department representative contacts the scrum master because, while the project's budget has been maintained, it has exceeded its original contracted time and scope.
What should the scrum master do?

Answer options

• A. Meet with the team to gain alignment with the legal department's need to stay within the contracted time and scope
• B. Work with the customer to narrow the scope
• C. Share the project's trajectory with the legal department
• D. Meet with the legal department to help them understand that the customer and the team are satisfied with the time and deliveries

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because sharing the project's trajectory with the legal department provides them with necessary visibility into the current status and progress of the project. Options A and D do not address the need for transparency about the project's status, while option B may not be feasible if the scope has already been defined in the contract.
