PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 171

Due to its complexity, a new team member struggles with developing a concise user story.
What advice should the agile practitioner give to assist with developing the story?

Answer options

• A. Hand the story over to a more experienced team member
• B. Break the story up and focus on the most valuable parts
• C. Discuss the story at the retrospective
• D. Pick another story from the product backlog

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because breaking the story down allows the team member to focus on the most critical aspects, making it easier to develop a concise user story. Option A is not helpful as it does not foster the team member's growth, while C and D do not address the immediate need to create the user story effectively.
