PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 221

New stakeholders are joining a project team where the agile coach will educate them about their roles and responsibilities. How should the stakeholders ensure their objectives are met by product delivery?

Answer options

• A. Provide feedback for completed user stories.
• B. Define how the features will be implemented.
• C. Tell the team which features to include in the backlog.
• D. Write acceptance criteria for the user stories.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Writing acceptance criteria for the user stories is crucial as it provides clear guidelines for the team on what constitutes a successful implementation of the features. The other options, while valuable, do not directly ensure that stakeholders' objectives are met; feedback and feature implementation do not guarantee alignment with the stakeholders' needs as effectively as acceptance criteria do.
