PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 176

During a review session, an agile team presented done requirements to a group of stakeholders. Stakeholder feedback indicated that the done requirements failed to meet most pressing needs and provide value.
What should the team have done to prevent this?

Answer options

• A. Reprioritized requirements prior to committing to iteration work
• B. Ensured that requirements remained stable during the iteration cycle
• C. Had stakeholders focus on items created after the product backlog was initially built
• D. Worked on features rather than a set of components

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice, A, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing requirements before starting iteration work, ensuring that the most valuable features are addressed first. Option B is incorrect because stability in requirements does not guarantee they meet stakeholder needs. Option C does not address the initial requirements and their alignment with stakeholder expectations. Option D, while important, does not directly relate to the prioritization of requirements.
