NEW QUESTION # 205
On an agile project, it is important to identify and engage business stakeholders throughout the project and to ensure the team understands the stakeholders' business needs. Which option supports this idea?
- A. A project charter should be established and reviewed throughout the project life cycle to ensure the accurate documentation of stakeholders' interests and expectations.
- B. A user story should be created for all key stakeholders to list their individual business objectives and needs.
- C. An Agile Manifesto should be created to document the project stakeholders, their desired outcomes, and identified risks.
- D. A product backlog should be created to list the project requirements from all of the project stakeholders.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is B - A product backlog should be created to list the project requirements from all of the project stakeholders.
In Agile, the product backlog serves as a living document where requirements, user stories, and stakeholder feedback are continuously refined. It is the central mechanism for capturing and prioritizing stakeholder needs and ensuring that business value is delivered incrementally.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
"The product backlog is a prioritized list of work for the development team that is derived from stakeholder input, user stories, and emerging needs. It evolves as the project progresses and stakeholder feedback is incorporated." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.2 - Product Backlog) Mike Griffiths writes:
"Product backlogs provide transparency into stakeholder priorities. They enable the team to continuously align work with customer expectations and business needs." (Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 3 - Stakeholder Engagement) Why the other options are incorrect:
* A refers to the traditional project charter, which is not commonly updated throughout the agile life cycle.
* C is a misunderstanding-the Agile Manifesto is a set of principles, not a project-specific document.
* D misuses user stories; stories are used for functional requirements, not stakeholder profiles.

- A. Place the impacted stories on the story board, and use daily stand-ups to make the product owner aware of the technical issues.
- B. Capture risks and make them visible, and use a burndown chart to focus on reducing risks early in the project.
- C. Seek guidance from the development manager.
- D. Ask the Scrum Master to extend the sprint's duration to allow more time to work through technical issues.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is A - Capture risks and make them visible, and use a burndown chart to focus on reducing risks early in the project.
Technical uncertainty is a key area of risk in Agile projects. These risks should be clearly communicated, visualized, and prioritized early in the project to allow timely mitigation. Agile teams are empowered to make decisions and highlight blockers rather than delay work or seek hierarchical intervention.
PMI Agile Practice Guide states:
"Agile teams actively manage risk through transparency and continuous feedback. Risks should be made visible on information radiators and addressed early in the project to prevent impact on value delivery." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 7.3 - Risk Management) Mike Griffiths adds:
"Teams facing uncertainty must surface risks openly and early. Using charts such as risk burndown and dashboards helps keep focus on managing these risks iteratively." (PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 6 - Problem Detection and Resolution) Incorrect options:
* B contradicts the time-boxing principle of sprints.
* C raises awareness but lacks proactive risk mitigation.
* D introduces a command-and-control dynamic, which is not agile.
