Salesforce Certified Business Analyst — Question 58

Northern Trail Outfitters (NIO) has completed a project with a third-party event organization platform to enhance its MVP Experience Site. Many features were left in the project backlog. NTO's IT team is beginning a new phase of work on the experience Site to build additional features requested by business stakeholders and wants to include the items that were left in the backlog in the first phase.
How should the business analyst coordinate the user stories to most efficiently manage the new project timeline?

Answer options

• A. Include existing and new user stories to be completed within the duration of the project. Hire additional developers to accommodate both work streams to prevent delays within the scheduled sprints.
• B. Prioritize user stories for the new enhancements for the initial sprints of the project to accommodate business stakeholder requests. Complete existing user stories in the final sprint of the project.
• C. Reprioritize existing and new user stories to place the stories into each sprint of the project. Return an equivalent amount of lower priority work to the project backlog.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it focuses on prioritizing the new enhancements for early sprints, ensuring that stakeholder requests are addressed promptly, while leaving existing user stories for later, which can help to streamline the workflow. Option A suggests hiring additional developers, which may not be feasible or necessary, and could complicate the project. Option C proposes returning lower priority work to the backlog, which could lead to an inefficient use of resources and disrupt the project timeline.
