Selected Answer: C

Focus on value: Identifying product objectives at each iteration ensures a clear understanding of what needs to be achieved and how each deliverable contributes to those objectives. Collaborative prioritization: By involving the team, including the product owner and customer stakeholders, the project manager fosters a collaborative environment where priorities can be discussed and aligned based on technical feasibility, customer needs, and business objectives. Transparency and communication: This approach keeps everyone informed about the rationale behind prioritization decisions, building trust and reducing potential conflicts.

Selected Answer: B

In this scenario, the project manager needs to balance the priorities and expectations of both the customer stakeholders and the technical tasks. By working with the team to estimate tasks and delivery dates, the project manager can gain insights into the feasibility of meeting customer expectations and technical requirements. Creating a project roadmap based on these estimates will help in setting realistic delivery dates and managing customer stakeholders' expectations. The roadmap can provide a clear plan for product delivery and ensure that all parties have a shared understanding of the project timeline.

C. Leading the team to identify product objectives at every delivery iteration and clarifying priorities can help manage both the customer stakeholders' requirements and the technical tasks identified by the product manager. In an Agile project, it's crucial to reassess and clarify priorities continuously, which helps to ensure that everyone understands and agrees on what work should be done next. This approach would help balance the needs of different stakeholders and ensure that work is prioritized effectively.

C.In the context of an Agile project, the project manager (often playing the role of a Scrum Master or Agile Coach) should guide the team and stakeholders in understanding the objectives of each iteration and clarifying priorities. This involves collaboration between the product owner, team, and stakeholders to balance business needs, user needs, and technical requirements. Option A, allowing the customer stakeholders to define project priorities and set delivery dates, does not take into account the technical tasks that need to be prioritized, as well as the team's capacity and capabilities. Option B, working with the team to estimate tasks and delivery dates and then create a project roadmap, is part of the Agile process but does not directly address the issue of prioritizing the backlog.
