PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 227

On an agile project, it is important to identify and engage business stakeholders throughout the project and to ensure the team understands the stakeholders' business needs. Which option supports this idea?

Answer options

• A. A project charter should be established and reviewed throughout the project life cycle to ensure the accurate documentation of stakeholders’ interests and expectations.
• B. A product backlog should be created to list the project requirements from all of the project stakeholders.
• C. An Agile Manifesto should be created to document the project stakeholders, their desired outcomes, and identified risks.
• D. A user story should be created for all key stakeholders to list their individual business objectives and needs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a product backlog effectively captures all project requirements from stakeholders, ensuring their needs are prioritized and addressed. Options A and C focus on documentation rather than actively engaging stakeholders' requirements, while option D, although useful, may not comprehensively encompass all stakeholder needs like a product backlog does.
