QuestionQ276

Product

After the second retrospective with project stakeholders, the customer expresses frustration. The customer seeks a more predictable roadmap for delivering features and functionality.

How should the project manager respond to the customer?

  • A Explain to the customer that an agile approach requires re-prioritization at the beginning of each sprint, so it is not possible to provide a roadmap.
  • B Ask the customer to develop a roadmap the team can follow for future delivery.
  • C Work with the customer to understand which user stories will deliver the best business value, re-prioritize the backlog, and share it with the customer to provide release plans.
  • D Work with the product owner to develop a tentative roadmap for the customer but explain that it is always subject to change.
Explanation

Agile teams can provide release plans based on a prioritized product backlog. Collaborating with the customer to identify the user stories with the greatest business value, re-prioritizing the backlog, and sharing the resulting release plans gives stakeholders visibility into expected feature delivery while allowing the plan to evolve with changing priorities.
