Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 686

A development team member learned that one of the product features delivered in the last sprint would have greater business value if a small enhancement was made to the feature.

What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Conduct another sprint planning meeting and add the necessary story.
• B. Discuss this feature in the next sprint planning meeting.
• C. Discuss this feature during the upcoming retrospective meeting.
• D. Advise the team member to better prepare before sprint planning.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because discussing the feature in the next sprint planning meeting allows the team to assess its importance and prioritize it appropriately. Option A is not ideal as it suggests an unnecessary sprint planning meeting. Option C is incorrect because retrospective meetings focus on past sprints rather than planning future work. Option D doesn't address the enhancement's potential and shifts responsibility away from the planning process.
