Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 902
A project team is performing extremely well when it comes to delivering the value-added features to the customer in each sprint. However, they are missing the documentation portion and the project manager must find a way to make sure the documentation is kept current.
Which action should the project manager take?
Answer options
- A. Assign a dedicated resource to work on the documentation during the project.
- B. Create a specific sprint to deliver the project documentation.
- C. Focus on the documentation after the features are delivered.
- D. Make documentation a standard part of the definition of done (DoD).
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because making documentation a standard part of the definition of done ensures that it is consistently addressed alongside feature delivery. Option A may not be effective if documentation is not integrated into the team's workflow. Option B might delay the project because it separates documentation from the regular sprint cycle. Option C risks leaving documentation incomplete and outdated.
