PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 3

Stakeholders are displeased with the latest release of a product's software. While most stakeholders attended every sprint review, they were otherwise largely uninvolved in the project.
What should the agile practitioner have done to ensure stakeholder satisfaction?

Answer options

• A. Communicated early and often, as outlined in the communications matrix
• B. Ensured engagement among stakeholders and the product owner
• C. Conducted additional stakeholder reviews and demos
• D. Worked with the product owner to prioritize user stories

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because ensuring engagement among stakeholders and the product owner fosters a collaborative environment, leading to better alignment with expectations. Option A, while important, does not guarantee stakeholder engagement. Option C may help but would still rely on prior engagement, and option D focuses on prioritization rather than stakeholder involvement.
