Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 77 discussion

my choice is D , in agile you dont lock time,budget,scope

D - Correct From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 77: “As mentioned earlier in this practice guide, the Agile Manifesto values “customer collaboration over contract negotiation.” Many project failures stem from breakdowns in the customer–supplier relationship. Projects incur more risk when those involved in the contract take the perspective of winners vs. losers. A collaborative approach is one that pursues a shared-risk-reward relationship, where all sides win.”

The best course of action for the Scrum Master in this situation is C. Share the project's trajectory with the legal department. Reasoning: Transparency: Sharing the project’s trajectory with the legal department ensures transparency and helps them understand the reasons behind the changes in time and scope. It’s important to keep legal informed, as they may need to adjust contracts or communicate changes to other stakeholders. Alignment: By sharing the current status, the Scrum Master can work with the legal department to ensure that any contractual obligations are managed properly, potentially avoiding legal or compliance issues. Informed Decision-Making: This approach allows the legal department to provide advice or guidance on how to proceed in a way that maintains compliance with the original contract or revises it as needed.

How can we go for D., when we do not know if "the customer and the team are satisfied with the time and deliveries". Answer D. is assuming that's the case but the problem set does not lay that assumption. I like C. the most neutral answer that would lead to further conversations.

option C is the most neutral and informational approach. It allows the legal department to understand the project's current situation and helps them make informed decisions or adjustments as needed. It's important for all stakeholders to have a clear picture of the project's progress to make informed decisions about scope, time, and budget.

B, in Agile the scope is not fixed but the time and budget are fixed.

D seems to be correct, but only if the customer and the team are really satisfied with the time and deliveries. If not - D cannot be the right answer. A - not an agile approach (Customer collaboration over contract negotiation) B - not an agile approach (Responding to change over following a plan) C - what for? That would be, after D.

Vote D

Option C. In Agile Framework, transparency is a key principle, and the Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the project's progress. In this scenario, the Scrum Master should share the project's trajectory with the legal department to provide them with a clear understanding of why the project has exceeded its original contracted time and scope. This will help the legal department make informed decisions about how to proceed and will enable them to collaborate with the Scrum Master and the team to find a solution that meets the project's needs while staying within the contracted time and scope. Option A and B may be part of the solution, but sharing the project's trajectory is the necessary first step. Option D is not an appropriate course of action as it does not address the legal department's concern and may undermine the trust between stakeholders.

B sounds better. "A" cannot be the answer because the team has ALREADY EXCEEDED the promised delivery time. Option "A" talks about aligning the team to respect the original time and scope, but it is ALREADY TOO LATE. It cannot be D. Contracts are there for a reason. In agile, time and cost are fixed but scope is variable. You cannot ignore contracts. There are penalties mentioned in the contracts for not meeting the deadlines. Customer experience is also affected. Whatever happens next, has to happen after consulting with the customer.

Answer B is valid, narrow the scope.
