Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1326

An organization is transitioning to an agile approach. At the project’s first sprint review, the product owner did not accept the result of the sprint and has some concerns.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the project team to address the product owner’s issues since the product owner is responsible for the scope in agile.
• B. Create a record in the issue register and escalate the issue to the project steering committee.
• C. Ask the product owner to accept the outcome since the team delivered what was agreed in the sprint planning.
• D. Organize a sprint retrospective and discuss the issues and how they can be avoided in the next sprint.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because organizing a sprint retrospective allows the team to collaboratively identify and address the product owner's concerns, fostering improvement. Options A and C neglect the need for discussion and collaboration, while B focuses on escalation rather than resolution within the agile framework.
