PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 79

An event management team is following an agile approach to prepare for an upcoming conference. The regional sales manager, from where the conference is to be held, contacts the team with a number of questions about the company's booth.
What should the team do?

Answer options

• A. Inform the sponsor about the regional sales manager's disruptiveness and ask that all questions be diverted to the weekly meetings
• B. Stay focused on the current iteration and let the project manager deal with the regional sales manager's questions
• C. Invite the regional sales manager to the next iteration review to share the progress
• D. Create a risk on the risk register to account for some potentially new requirements from the regional sales manager

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the team should prioritize their current iteration without getting sidetracked by external inquiries. This allows the project manager to handle the questions appropriately, ensuring that the agile process remains uninterrupted. The other options either disrupt the workflow or do not effectively address the situation at hand.
