Selected Answer: B
I don't think an MVP can be determined until there is a Product Roadmap. PMI says: "Evolve vision. Product managers will work closely with stakeholders, and in the case of new products/solutions potential stakeholders, to understand their needs. The goal is to develop roadmaps for individual products, product lines, and for the business itself. These roadmaps describe the current vision for the near term, intermediate term (3-12 months), and long term (one year or more) with less detail the further out in time the roadmap goes. These roadmaps help the product managers to guide their prioritization decisions and provides input into the planning activities of other efforts (such as the Enterprise Architecture and Portfolio Management activities)." https://www.pmi.org/disciplined-agile/process/product-management/product-management-practices Thoughts?

B is the worst answer not sure how this PMI info got you here. C is definitely correct. Roadmap does not make an unclear vision suddenly clear. A clear vision is then illustrated in a roadmap. Option B, creating a visual task board with relevant stakeholders to support backlog prioritization, is a useful Agile practice, but it does not specifically address the need to increase value delivery in a project with an unclear vision.

Option C is the most suitable choice in this scenario as it emphasizes value delivery through iterative development and stakeholder involvement. Creating an MVP helps the team stay focused on the most important aspects of the product, reduces the risk of building unnecessary features, and ensures that the initial version aligns with stakeholders' expectations.

A. Gather the team to create a comprehensive product roadmap but only commit to requirements for the next quarter. (So this is saying the team works on the product roadmap now and then commit next quarter, and if the team is working on this for 3 months, nothing else gets done? The roadmap is suppose to be high level overview, does not make sense to me, C is my answer.

C: the vision is not clear, so working on a MVP can flush out value, requirements, test out assumptions etc. MVP can me many things clear that are not clear, so after they can test out and build and iterate in increments, then things will be clear, and a road make. Working with the team and stakeholders and getting everyone on board with the definition of value, can be accomplished with a MVP

I think the question is invalid. There is no answer relates to vision communication! Is it waste of time (or risky) to define an MVP with team while the stakeholder is still unclear about the vision? I think team's responsible is to implement MVP and stakeholders/clients should prioritize features and define MVP. What if the stakeholders don't agree with MVP suggested by team? If i have to choose, I'll chose B. Even B doesn't directly mention about vision communication, it's better than C. At least, the PM tried to visualize to support communication to help stakeholders in prioritizing features. Anyway, the question is how to ensure value delivery then it has to be done with prioritization.

Selected Answer: C
Reason - 1. Stakeholder is not aligned with vision for new product. There is no way stakeholders can undstand the value which product can deliver. So only best option is project manager as he already undstand about product and vision , it’s best for him to discuss with team and release MVP

Option C is the best answer as it involves the creation of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), which is a version of a product with just enough features to be usable by early customers. This can provide valuable feedback for future product development and make the vision clearer for the stakeholders.

I think A but AI choose C. Creating a comprehensive product roadmap (Option A) is a good idea, but it may take too long to get feedback from stakeholders, and committing to requirements for the next quarter may limit the flexibility to adapt to changes. By working with the team on the definition of a minimum viable product (MVP) and presenting it to the stakeholders, the project manager can gather feedback on the direction of the project and get buy-in from stakeholders. This approach also ensures that the team focuses on delivering the most important features first, which can reduce the risk of building unnecessary features. Once the MVP is defined, the project manager can then work with the team to break it down into smaller, manageable tasks for development.

MVP is used when the stakeholders don't have a clear vision on the functionalities they need. An MVP is produced and presented as a demo to all stakeholders. Feedbacks recorded by the team and from there product value incremented in sprints to add/reducd features on the MVP.
