PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 164

A project sponsor is upset that an enhancement will be unavailable until next year.
What should the product owner do?

Answer options

• A. Accept responsibility for the product's delay
• B. Ensure that the project sponsor's priorities are in the product backlog
• C. Negotiate with the project sponsor for increased funding
• D. Empower the project sponsor to manage the product backlog

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because ensuring that the project sponsor's priorities are reflected in the product backlog helps align the product development with their expectations. Option A does not address the issue of prioritization, C involves negotiating funding which may not resolve the immediate concern, and D would not be appropriate as it removes the product owner's responsibility for managing the backlog.
