PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 45

Midway through a sprint, a scrum team member advises the team of a new requirement that may change the initial scope.
What should the team do?

Answer options

• A. Work on requirements that the product owner may have overlooked
• B. Record the scope creep in the change management log
• C. Add the new requirement to the product backlog
• D. Ask the scrum master to secure additional time and resources

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because new requirements should be added to the product backlog for prioritization and review by the product owner. Option A is incorrect as it does not follow the process of managing scope changes. Option B does not address accommodating the new requirement in the product backlog, and option D is not a standard practice as it may not be feasible or necessary to secure additional resources.
