Exam PMP topic 1 question 1110 discussion

This is D

project was suspended due to the fast-changing environment and conditions. The project backlog must be discussed again with sponsor to understand any change in expectation & priority.

A - The product owner is missing in the answers. Normelly the product owner have to check with the client, but this option is missing. D is wrong, because it is not the sponsor who validate the product backlog. Also C is wrong, because a programm manger has no role in agile project.

Shouldn't the project manager discuss with the project sponsor before discussing it with the team?

While reviewing the remaining backlog items with the project team (option A) is essential for planning and resuming development activities, it's also crucial to ensure alignment with the project sponsor's expectations and objectives. Therefore, initiating a review of the backlog with the project sponsor (option D) allows the project lead to verify the project's objectives and priorities before engaging the project team. This approach can help ensure that the team's efforts are focused on the most relevant and valuable tasks.

A seems like the best answer here. Would have gone for D if it states product owner instead of project sponsor

When resuming development activities on a project after a suspension, it's crucial to re-engage the project team and assess the current state of the project. The project lead should review the remaining items in the backlog with the project team to ensure that everyone is on the same page, understand the scope, and can contribute their insights and expertise. This collaborative review helps in making informed decisions and planning the next steps effectively. The project sponsor and program manager may be involved in subsequent approval processes, but the initial review with the project team is essential for a smooth restart.

They can provide valuable insights into what has changed, what remains relevant, and what needs to be reprioritized or adjusted.

Sticking with A cause you want to consult the team first then go to the project sponsor.

D. Review the backlog with project sponsor. Key word here is "due to the fast-changing environment and conditions", we need the sponsors input to verify if the backlogs are still relevant to the current needs of the product
