Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1098

During the setup of an agile project, the product owner expressed clear interest in having features released during product development over having the product completed in one year. What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Facilitate sprint planning sessions with a focus on defining the minimum viable product (MVP).
• B. Design a set of metrics including velocity, which is a good measure of value delivered.
• C. Promote a productive environment where everybody can work without interruptions from the rest of the team members.
• D. Create a reward system recognizing group contributions to get people motivated and improve performance.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because facilitating sprint planning sessions helps the team focus on delivering the MVP, aligning with the product owner's preference for early feature releases. Options B, C, and D, while beneficial in their own right, do not directly address the immediate need to prioritize feature delivery within the agile framework.
