Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 790

A project manager has taken over an agile project. There have been several issues during product development due to unclear product requirements.

How should the project manager resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Assist the team in estimating project tasks such as milestones and story points.
• B. Gather the project team and product owner to find a solution design.
• C. Review issues and identify opportunities for improvement that add value to the product.
• D. Ask the team to rework the definition of done (DoD) before items can be pulled into the backlog.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because involving both the project team and the product owner facilitates clarity and consensus on product requirements, leading to a more effective solution. Option A focuses on task estimation, which does not directly address the underlying issue of unclear requirements. Option C is about reviewing issues rather than actively resolving the uncertainty, and Option D shifts focus to the definition of done, which is not a priority if the requirements are unclear.
