PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 315

An Agile team is under pressure to deliver an application. The product owner anticipates many change requests from customers once the product is released.
What should the agile team do?

Answer options

• A. Demand frequent product reviews by the product owner
• B. Continuously work with the product owner to do backlog refinement and product reviews
• C. Have the product owner provide detailed requirement specifications to ensure the proper features are delivered
• D. During the planning session, ensure the team is committed to deliver within the specifications

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because continuous collaboration with the product owner allows the team to adapt to changes and refine the backlog effectively. Option A is insufficient as it lacks the ongoing nature of collaboration needed. Option C is not aligned with Agile principles, which prioritize flexibility over detailed upfront specifications. Option D focuses on commitment to fixed specifications, which can hinder adaptability in response to customer feedback.
