Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1188

Midway through the execution of an agile protect there is a shift in the strategic objectives at the organization level to promote digital transformation.
What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Schedule a meeting with the team to assess the impact of the change
• B. Escalate to the product owner and cancel the upcoming iterations
• C. Prepare a user story to handle the change and assign it to the next iteration
• D. Update the risk-prioritized backlog with the strategic change

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as it is essential for the project manager to gather the team to discuss the implications of the shift in strategic objectives. Option B is incorrect because canceling iterations without assessing the impact isn't a proactive approach. Option C, while relevant, does not prioritize team assessment first, and option D fails to involve the team in understanding how the change affects the current work.
