PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 273

A company is planning to launch a new service to improve the customer checkout experience. What should the project manager do to meet the objective of reducing time to market to gain a competitive advantage in the industry?

Answer options

• A. Engage the project stakeholders to assess the best practices to apply and plan the deliverables before implementation.
• B. Recommend an agile delivery approach and provide information to the stakeholders on agile values and principles.
• C. Educate the team about scrum and ensure that all members are aligned to the roles required.
• D. Consult executive leadership for the most appropriate method for delivery using existing organizational practices.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because adopting an agile delivery approach allows for faster iterations and adaptability, which is crucial for reducing time to market. Options A, C, and D, while valuable, do not directly address the need for a rapid delivery method that agile offers, making them less effective for this specific objective.
