PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 50

An agile team's client has been asked to expedite the delivery of the next release. By delivering one month early, the company can generate US$40,000 more than expected for the quarter.
What should the agile team do?

Answer options

• A. Adhere to the new deadline and immediately advise the client that the schedule has been expedited
• B. Advise the client that it is best to continue as planned rather than introduce unforeseen risks by expecting the schedule
• C. Submit a change request to the client with a 50% increase in charges due to the new potential profit
• D. Request additional resources to meet the expedited deadline and obtain training for the new resources

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because maintaining the original plan helps mitigate risks associated with rushing the project, which could affect quality. Options A and C introduce unnecessary changes that could jeopardize the project's integrity, while option D, although it suggests a solution, still risks compromising the project timeline and quality.
