Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 69

A project manager just started managing agile projects. The project manager realizes that due to the lack of a clear definition of project objectives and definition of done (DoD), their colleague's projects have had many difficulties. Sponsors keep asking for more features and the projects have yet to be completed.
What should the project manager do to avoid these issues?

Answer options

• A. Arrange meetings to ensure every necessary task to complete the project is included in the project management plan
• B. Convince the project sponsor to incorporate quality experts so the product can be tested and accepted as completed
• C. Convince the product owner to approach the team and look for options to find a solution to the problem
• D. Schedule meetings with key stakeholders to build the agile project charter and set clear expectations for the project

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because scheduling meetings with key stakeholders helps to develop an agile project charter, which sets clear objectives and expectations, thereby reducing confusion and scope creep. Options A, B, and C do not directly address the need for clarity in project objectives and expectations, which is crucial for the success of agile projects.
