Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 717

An agile project is running its second iteration out of six. A marketing director, who is a key stakeholder, contacts the project lead for a high-level report of the project.

What should the project lead do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the product owner to develop the new report based on the iteration information.
• B. Develop the requested report based on the iteration information.
• C. Explain to the stakeholder that the key indicators are by iteration.
• D. Tell the stakeholder that a new report will be produced at the end of the iteration.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The project lead should develop the requested report based on the iteration information to provide the stakeholder with timely insights. While asking the product owner or explaining key indicators could help, the immediate need is to furnish the report directly. Telling the stakeholder to wait until the end of the iteration does not address their request promptly.
