Exam PMP topic 1 question 642 discussion

In response to the new impediment, the product owner should reassess and reprioritize the backlog based on value and cost of delay divided by duration. This approach allows the product owner to prioritize items that deliver the highest value and mitigate the impact of the increased support cost. Therefore, option A, "Reprioritize the backlog based on value and cost of delay divided by duration," is the recommended action.

New impediment necessitates change: The unexpected delay and extended platform support cost require a fresh look at the backlog priorities. Balancing value and cost: Reprioritization should consider the value each backlog item brings to the business against the cost of its delay (due to the higher support price) and the time it takes to complete. Optimizing resource allocation: Focusing on items with high value relative to their cost and completion time ensures the most efficient use of resources in this revised schedule.

In a situation where an impediment arises, and the need to continue using the old database platform for another year at a higher support price becomes necessary, the product owner should consider the impact on the project and the backlog. The most appropriate action for the product owner is: A. Reprioritize the backlog based on value and cost of delay divided by duration.

A. Reprioritize the backlog based on value and cost of delay divided by duration

It’s impossible to compare the value of radically different stories because their values are expressed in incomparable units of measure. To get around this problem, you can convert everything to money using cost of delay. And then can divide the cost of delay by duration to calculate CD3. The higher the CD3 score, the higher the story should be in your backlog.

A is right

A. Reprioritize the backlog based on value and cost of delay divided by duration. In this situation, the product owner should reprioritize the backlog based on value and cost of delay divided by duration. This approach helps to prioritize work items that deliver the highest value and minimize the impact of delays. By doing this, the product owner can focus on the most critical aspects of the project to maximize the benefits, even with the new impediment causing a need to continue using the old platform for another year at a higher support price.

The product owner in an agile project is responsible for prioritizing the backlog based on the value of the items to the business. Therefore, in this situation, the product owner should reprioritize the backlog based on the value and cost of delay divided by duration. This will allow the product owner to determine which items will provide the most value in the least amount of time. By reprioritizing the backlog, the product owner can ensure that the team focuses on the items that are most critical to the business and that will minimize the impact of the extended support cost. The predictive approach mentioned in option B is not consistent with the agile methodology, and options C and D are not directly relevant to the situation described.

A should be ans. Option D is not recommended, as removing low-value items from the backlog to compensate for the higher cost may not address the root cause of the problem. It is important to prioritize the backlog based on value and cost of delay to ensure that the most valuable items are completed first.

is A a better answer?

It is important for the product owner to consider the implications of the new impediment on the project as a whole and to make decisions based on the overall goals and objectives of the project. Option D, removing low-value items from the backlog to compensate for the higher cost, could be a viable option if the additional cost is significant and there are low-value items on the backlog that can be removed without impacting the overall project goals. However, it is important to carefully consider the implications of removing any work from the backlog, as it may have unintended consequences on the project.

any one can explain why D?
