Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 159 discussion

The answer is B Read the question again and review the answers carefully What is the FIRST thing the SM has to do on a project? Understand the vision, know the stakeholders Remember Sprint Panning and execution is not done by the SM only. This is done by the team. SM bridges the Dev. Team and the Stakeholders

Understanding the bigger picture, Stakeholder alignment. C: Sprint 0 can be valuable for establishing technical frameworks and tools, but its effectiveness hinges on a clear understanding of the project's overall direction. D: Delivering value quickly is a noble goal, but doing so without alignment with the larger vision and stakeholder expectations might miss the mark or generate rework later.

This ensures that the scrum master is informed about the strategic importance of the project including the long term vision of the project

B = correct. It is first of all! PS: the PO is building and managing the product backlog.

Vote D

i vote C

I choose C

It's C. He has already accepted the job, the overall vision has already been explained. Now he needs a breakdown of the vision and his team needs to understand what the stakeholders etc are looking for (foundational needs) which can be accomplished by iteration 0.

Here the SC only assumes the project to be important and needs to be delivered in 3 years. There is no hurry to deliver any value. Unless the vision is understood, sprint cannot start. I go with B

The best answer is C. Sprint 0 activities include the following: • Project visionaries and leaders • Scrum Team members • Agile Coach • Extended team members who provide support activities for establishing a team The Product vision, backlog, release plan, training etc is created during Sprint 0. https://pmi-svc.org/library/forums/agile/1306-sprint-0-activities-2018-12-05/file

I WOULD PICK C.

A. Work with the customers to build the product backlog and identify their initial requirements. > P.O. should do this B. Meet with the stakeholders and enterprise architects to understand the project's vision. > S.M. can provide workshop tools to handle this meeting but Scrum Team should meet, not S.M. or P.O. only C. Plan and execute a sprint 0 to establish the project's foundational needs. > this is the best answer D. Create a backlog, and execute a sprint 1 to quickly deliver value to the customers. > P.O. should create backlog, not S.M.

B cant be the right answer for one reason, bcz PO shares the project vision with the team. including SM

C make sense ! What is sprint 0? Sprint zero usually takes place before the formal start of the project and/or at a team's inception. The goal of the Sprint is for the Development Team to come together to develop a minimal number of User Stories, project skeleton, story mapping, and develop a workable product. This Sprint should be kept lightweight and relatively high level. It is all about the origination of project exploration and gaining an understanding of where you want to head while keeping velocity low.

For me, B is the answer

I think the answer is B
