Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1173

An agile project will be delivered to a client based on a fixed price in cryptocurrency. Due to the volatility of cryptocurrency, both parties have agreed to adjust the scope to the value of the cryptocurrency at the end of every iteration and halt the project when the agreed price is reached.
Which approach should be used in this situation?

Answer options

• A. A flow-based approach starting with the smallest stories.
• B. An iterative approach starting with the highest value epic.
• C. A predictive approach with short phases.
• D. An incremental approach with a minimum viable product (MVP).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an iterative approach allows for adjustments based on the cryptocurrency's value after each iteration, focusing on delivering the highest value first. The other options do not prioritize value delivery in the same way, which could lead to inefficiencies and less responsiveness to the agreed price adjustments.
