Exam CAPM topic 1 question 278 discussion

Key phrases: "prioritized & refined" which = "Iterative"

Why not the others? B. On-demand scheduling → Used in Kanban-style systems, where work is pulled based on capacity rather than pre-scheduled in iterations. C. Life cycle scheduling with backlog → This is not a standard PMI term and mixes unrelated concepts. D. Defining iterative activities → Describes a technique, not a recognized scheduling approach.

A. Iterative scheduling with backlog Explanation: Iterative scheduling with backlog is the correct answer. This approach aligns with agile methodologies where user stories are prioritized and refined in a backlog. The team continually refines the backlog, estimating and prioritizing user stories before each iteration. This allows for flexibility and adaptability to changing requirements.

A. Iterative scheduling with backlog When project requirements are documented in user stories and then prioritized and refined just prior to construction, it typically reflects an iterative scheduling approach with a backlog. In this approach, work is scheduled based on the backlog of user stories or tasks, and these items are iteratively refined and scheduled as the project progresses. This is commonly seen in Agile project management methodologies like Scrum, where work is planned in short iterations (sprints) and the backlog is adjusted and reprioritized as needed.
