PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 326

A project team tasked with delivering a solution with extremely aggressive timelines is facing an issue with meeting their sprint velocity targets. To address this issue and bring the project back on track, what action should the team take?

Answer options

• A. Perform value stream analysis to eliminate the processes with wastage.
• B. Reevaluate the minimum viable product (MVP) deliverables to remove high-risk stories and meet timelines.
• C. Adjust the story points included in each sprint to represent the actual velocity.
• D. Include high-risk stories in earlier sprints to deliver incremental velocity.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because reevaluating the MVP deliverables allows the team to focus on essential features and mitigate risks, ensuring timelines are met. Option A, while useful for process improvement, does not directly address the immediate timeline issue. Option C misrepresents the actual work, and option D risks overloading early sprints with high-risk items, potentially leading to further delays.
