PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 21

An agile team provides feedback that user stories include insufficient details to understand the requirements.
What should the agile practitioner do?

Answer options

• A. Coach the product owner to update only the acceptance criteria
• B. Instruct the agile team to fix the user stories during the next retrospective
• C. Facilitate a user story workshop with the agile team
• D. Inform the product owner's manager that the work items provide insufficient details

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as facilitating a user story workshop encourages collaboration and ensures that the team can collectively define and refine the user stories, leading to better understanding of requirements. Option A only addresses acceptance criteria, which may not resolve the overall issue with the user stories. Option B delays the resolution until the next retrospective, which may not be timely enough. Option D escalates the issue instead of promoting teamwork and active problem-solving.
