Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 262

During iteration planning, team A identifies that an important deliverable is dependent upon a deliverable from team B.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask team B to focus on their backlog and deliver based on their priority
• B. Inform team B of the dependency and ensure that the deliverable is planned
• C. Make team A a part of team B and ensure that the deliverable is ready
• D. Request team B to immediately start this activity and deliver to team A

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it is crucial for the project manager to communicate the dependency to team B and ensure that the deliverable is incorporated into their planning. Option A is incorrect because it overlooks the need for coordination. Option C is not feasible as merging teams may not be practical. Option D is inappropriate as it demands immediate action without proper planning.
