Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 406

During the retrospective ceremony, the agile team is talking about the product owner's expectations not being met.
What should the project manager have done at the beginning of the project?

Answer options

• A. Defined the expected agile team contribution in the creation of the backlog
• B. Assessed the capabilities of the agile team and planned for the required training
• C. Defined the team ground rules and shared project vision
• D. Communicated project vision and sprint goals clearly to the team

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because clear communication of the project vision and sprint goals is essential to align the team's efforts with the product owner's expectations. Without this clarity, the team may struggle to meet those expectations. Options A, B, and C, while important, do not directly address the immediate need for clear communication of goals and vision.
