Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1019
The steering committee has asked a project manager experienced in agile to provide an indication of the time remaining on a medium-sized project.
What tools can be used to provide this information?
Answer options
- A. A release burndown chart
- B. Analysis of the business requirements document
- C. Story points for the remaining user stories
- D. Surrogate measurements
Correct answer: A
Explanation
A release burndown chart is specifically designed to show the progress of a project over time, making it the best tool for estimating remaining time. The analysis of the business requirements document and story points for remaining user stories do not directly provide time estimates, while surrogate measurements may not accurately reflect the project's progress.
