PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 2

During the iteration planning of a newly on boarded agile team, the product owner adds a set of high priority user stories into the iteration backlog.
What should the team do first to define the tasks need to implement the user stories?

Answer options

• A. Self-organize
• B. Assign tasks to each team member
• C. Meet with the customer
• D. Identify the scrum master

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as self-organization allows the team to collaboratively determine how to break down user stories into actionable tasks. Assigning tasks prematurely (B) may not leverage team collaboration, meeting with the customer (C) is not necessary at this stage, and identifying the scrum master (D) is not a priority when defining tasks.
