Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 227

A company just started managing a project using an agile approach. Due to this change, the general manager is worried about the scope definition process for upcoming projects.
What should the project manager do to ensure the project scope is completely defined?

Answer options

• A. Meet with the general manager and convince them to return to using predictive approaches to avoid any risk
• B. Ask the general manager to review every requirement to ensure all projects will deliver the requested products
• C. Ask for a budget increase to implement a double-check process to ensure every business need is included in the requirements
• D. Help sponsors and stakeholders craft the product vision, and bring the team and product owner together to clarify expectations

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it emphasizes collaboration among stakeholders to establish a clear product vision and expectations. This approach aligns with agile principles, which prioritize customer collaboration and adaptability over strict adherence to predefined requirements. The other options either revert to traditional methods or do not engage effectively with stakeholders, which could lead to misalignment on project goals.
