PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 70

During an iteration, an agile team discovers infrastructure requirements that were not initially considered.
What should the team do to effectively manage this?

Answer options

• A. Rework the iteration scope to accommodate these requirements
• B. Add these requirements into the product backlog for future consideration
• C. Raise the discovery of these requirements as an issue, and escalate to management
• D. Immediately start working on these requirements

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because adding the requirements to the product backlog allows the team to prioritize and manage them appropriately in future iterations. Option A is incorrect as reworking the iteration scope may disrupt current plans, C is not the best practice for managing backlog items, and D is not advisable since it can divert focus from the current iteration goals.
