QuestionQ458

Product

An agile team is refining project requirements. Because new dependencies are uncovered in each working session, the team cannot complete the detailed solution requirements. Rather than attempting to complete all requirements, what should the team do collaboratively to identify and prioritize the most important requirements and adapt to changes as needed?

  • A Report this as a blocker and ask senior management to provide the right subject matter experts (SMEs) until all the outstanding issues can be dosed.
  • B Identify the key business stakeholders and invite them to day-long sessions until all the dependencies and outstanding issues can be closed.
  • C Identify the key dependencies that need to be resolved in order of priority level so the user stories can meet the definition of ready (DoR) criteria.
  • D Report this as a blocker and ensure the product owner is able to deprioritize the issues so the user stories can meet the definition of ready (DoR) criteria.
Explanation

Product Backlog refinement is an ongoing activity in which items are further defined, ordered, and made sufficiently transparent for selection. Resolving the highest-priority dependencies enables the affected user stories to meet the team’s Definition of Ready while allowing lower-priority details to emerge and change over time.
