PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 263

In a planning meeting, the client does not have a clear understanding of the most beneficial features of a project, because there are too many stakeholders with different requirements. How should the project manager approach this project?

Answer options

• A. Define all requirements so value can be added by delivering a high-level plan at the initiation phase.
• B. Suggest the product owner prioritize the work items by feature to maximize value.
• C. Ask the customer to define the requirements of all stakeholders and select the most valuable features.
• D. Ensure the client has a clear idea about the features and end product before the project starts.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because prioritizing work items by feature allows the product owner to focus on delivering the most valuable aspects of the project first. Options A and D suggest planning without addressing stakeholder priorities, while C places the burden of selection entirely on the customer, which may not effectively resolve the confusion among stakeholders.
