Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 856

An organization is using a hybrid delivery approach for a complex project. In the iteration review, a subject matter expert (SME) informed the team that new legislation will be published in a few months.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the SME to provide details after the retrospective.
• B. Discuss the change in the next sprint planning.
• C. Discuss the change in the next release planning.
• D. Ask the SME to provide details in the next daily standup.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because discussing the change in the next release planning is essential to ensure that the project can adapt to new legislation before its implementation. Options A and D do not address the urgency of the legislation, while option B is focused on sprint planning, which may not appropriately account for the broader implications of the upcoming legislation.
