Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 805

A project is starting its third iteration out of six. During planning, the team realized that all of the requirements were not defined clearly enough to start working.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Review and replace the unclear requirements with ones that are clear.
• B. Update the issue log and escalate it to the project sponsor.
• C. Meet with the product owner to review the project backlog.
• D. Invite key users to the next daily meeting to get requirement clarification.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because meeting with the product owner to review the project backlog allows the team to clarify and prioritize requirements directly from the source. Option A is incorrect as simply replacing requirements may not ensure clarity. Option B focuses on documentation rather than addressing the core issue. Option D, while helpful, does not directly involve the product owner who has the authority to clarify the backlog.
