Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 782

A project is nearing the completion of a sprint when the product owner announces that a local regulator has banned part of the deliverable. What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Complete the sprint and seek a waiver from the regulator.
• B. Perform a sprint risk assessment and analyze challenges.
• C. Add more items to the sprint backlog that will add value.
• D. Complete the sprint, but do not release the deliverable.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because performing a sprint risk assessment allows the project manager to identify and evaluate the implications of the regulatory ban on the project. Options A and D suggest completing the sprint without addressing the risk, while option C proposes adding more items, which could complicate the situation instead of resolving the identified issue.
