PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 63

After three iterations, it is identified that a project's underlying security structure architecture is unstable. While there is a technical solution, all work to date is flawed. This will impact several future business service offerings.
What should the product owner do to resolve this?

Answer options

• A. Ask the development team to address the issue since it is in their domain
• B. Review the project's risk matrix, and follow the steps outlined in the risk mitigation plan
• C. Meet with the team and stakeholders to address rework and rewrite stories as needed
• D. Cancel the current sprint, and meet with stakeholders to reassess the project's validity

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because meeting with the team and stakeholders allows for a collaborative approach to address the flawed work and adjust stories accordingly. Option A incorrectly places the entire responsibility on the development team, while option B focuses on risk assessment rather than immediate corrective action. Option D, while considering project validity, does not directly address the need to resolve the existing issues in the ongoing work.
