Exam PMP topic 1 question 990 discussion

C. We can assume that this is related to Agile project by leveraging the 'MVP' expression, and in the Agile concept, decision making is being discussed with team. A is not the proper option if you are Good Project Manager.

A. Ensure the feature has been included in the product backlog, explain to the sponsor the consequences of the request, and ask the team to include the feature's tasks in the next iteration

This is A. The current sprint iteration cannot be changed.

The answer is C. A is wrong because it is done in the next iteration. It must be placed considering priority within the current repetitive task.

A Explanation: Including the feature in the product backlog ensures it is documented and prioritized for future consideration. Explaining the consequences to the sponsor provides transparency about the potential impact on the project. Including the feature in the next iteration avoids immediate burnout and delays, balancing the sponsor's request with the team's capacity. "C" is incorrect because it may pressure the team to fit the feature into the current iteration, increasing the risk of burnout and delays. This isn't very reasonable.

it is recognized as a potential future enhancement without immediately disrupting the current iteration's work or the MVP's scope.

Would go with A since it is not mentioned how many iterations are still there until release. So the work can potentially wait until the next iteration. Doesnt make sense to change the scope now.

In Agile project management, it's essential to maintain transparency and collaboration among the team, the product owner (which may include the project sponsor), and other stakeholders. In this situation, the project manager should ensure that the feature is included in the product backlog. However, scheduling the tasks for the current iteration needs to be a collaborative decision. Option C suggests holding a meeting with the team and sponsor to discuss how to deliver the feature within the current iteration. This approach allows for open communication and collaboration, ensuring that everyone is aware of the potential consequences, such as team burnout or release delays. It also provides an opportunity to explore possible solutions or compromises.

the feature is not a part of MVP, so it is not necessary to be considered in the current iteration; that's why C is not valid.

just follow the agile process..add to product backlog...repriorities...add in next iteration...

We have to review the impact this additional work we have with the Sponsor and the team to find an approriate solution. ChatGPTs answer of A is wrong here.

This approach aligns with agile principles and project management practices by ensuring that the requested feature is captured in the product backlog for future consideration. It also involves communication with the sponsor regarding the potential impacts, such as team burnout or project delays, resulting from the immediate inclusion of the feature.

Its C: Discuss with the Sponsor and the team....
