Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 570

A project team has recently completed the initial sprint for developing an automated payroll system for a company. The project manager has scheduled a sprint planning meeting with the product owner and team members to discuss which features should be worked on next.
Which two pieces of information does the project manager need in order to make this meeting productive and effective? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Company mission and vision
• B. Sprint goal
• C. Sprint charter
• D. Product backlog
• E. Burndown chart

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The sprint goal provides a clear focus for what the team aims to achieve in the upcoming sprint, while the product backlog contains the prioritized list of features and tasks to be worked on. The other options, while relevant to the project, do not directly facilitate the planning of the next sprint.
