PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 301
A product owner is responsible for a new product. The internal customer questions using an agile approach because they need a product that works without any bugs or missing features once it is launched.
What should the product owner do?
Answer options
- A. Plan regular retrospectives with the development team to continuously improve processes to eliminate any potential issues with the product.
- B. Apply an agile approach to write the specifications in an incremental way and develop the product once the final specifications are agreed upon.
- C. Set up test-driven development to focus on customer requirements and eliminate issues in the software as testing progresses,
- D. Ask the customer to provide additional representatives to help test and evaluate the product for early and frequent feedback.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C because test-driven development allows for ongoing testing and validation of customer requirements, thus minimizing bugs and issues. Option A focuses on process improvement rather than immediate product quality, while B delays development until after specifications are finalized, which contradicts agile principles. Option D may help with feedback but does not directly address the need for early issue resolution.
