PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 55

After seeing the planned features for an upcoming release, a customer notes that a vitally important and complex one is missing. The team estimates that this feature significantly exceeds its average velocity.
How can this issue be resolved?

Answer options

• A. Break down the feature into smaller parts, and commit to complementing the minimum value product
• B. Complete the iteration to which they have already committed, and include the feature in the next release
• C. Change the planned features to include only the vitally important one
• D. Extend the iteration to complete the feature

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because breaking down the feature into smaller parts allows the team to manage its complexity and integrate it into the minimum viable product more efficiently. Options B and D delay addressing the customer's needs, while C ignores the importance of adding comprehensive features beyond just the critical one.
