Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 534

A product owner presented the backlog to the team, and the team raised concerns over implementing some of the features due to various impediments.
What should the project manager suggest that the product owner do next?

Answer options

• A. Ensure that the impediments are captured and prioritized based upon the highest valued features
• B. Estimate the financial impact of the impediments and request additional funding
• C. Begin to remove the impediments, starting with the easiest ones first, to foster team accomplishment
• D. Capture the impediments and inform management that their assistance is needed in resolving the impediments

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because capturing and prioritizing impediments helps the team focus on the most valuable features first, ensuring efficient use of resources. Options B and C, while helpful, do not address the need for prioritization based on value, and D does not prioritize resolving the impediments effectively.
