Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1009

A new agile project is starting. The project manager is asked to confirm the scope to address the concerns of one of the stakeholders.

What should the project manager use to explain the project scope?

Answer options

• A. User stories
• B. Product backlog
• C. Product roadmap
• D. Business requirements document

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the Product backlog, as it clearly outlines all the features, enhancements, and fixes needed for the project, thus defining the project's scope. While User stories (A) are part of the backlog, they do not provide a complete overview of the scope. The Product roadmap (C) outlines the vision and timeline but lacks detailed scope information, and the Business requirements document (D) is more formal and may not align with agile principles.
