Exam PMP topic 1 question 345 discussion

C is the most reasonable. I know lots of people mentioned PM cannot reprioritize the backlog in agile. That is correct. However, the question is asking what GUIDANCE the PM should PROVIDE, not what the PM should do.

The product manager should C. Discuss this with the team and reprioritize the backlog to deliver maximum value by including a portion of the complex work. This approach ensures that the team is focusing on delivering value while also addressing complex requirements. It allows for incremental progress on the complex requirement, which can help manage risk and provide opportunities for learning and adjustment as the team gains more understanding of the requirement.

C, MVP

C. Discuss this with the team and reprioritize the backlog to deliver maximum value by including a portion of the complex work

C looks ok but it seems that the PM cannot prioritize the backlog in an agile environment. it’s so confusing that sometimes, the answer allows PM to prioritize the backlog sometimes it says it’s wrong if a PM prioritized the backlog.

The product manager should collaborate with the team to break down the complex requirement into smaller, manageable portions that can be incorporated into the product backlog. This approach allows the team to work on the complex requirement incrementally, delivering value to the customer and potentially making it easier to demonstrate progress. By reprioritizing the backlog and integrating portions of the complex work, the team can better manage the requirement development process. Options A, B, and D do not address the need to break down the complex requirement into manageable portions or to deliver value incrementally to the customer.

Prioritising of backlog is done by the product owner so i think its B

C. Never kick the issue downstream so A and B are incorrect. Also never run to client, sponsor or management as your 1st option so D is incorrect

Allow the team to focus and complete the complex work because it will reduce the risk of finding issues later in the project. making sure that the technical work is done is essential. it's like having proper infrastructure to be able to build on top of it.

C. Discuss this with the team and reprioritize the backlog to deliver maximum value by including a portion of the complex work. In this situation, the PRODUCT MANAGER should discuss the technical, complex requirement with the team and reprioritize the backlog to deliver maximum value by including a portion of the complex work. This approach will allow the team to focus on delivering the most important features and functionality to the customer while also addressing the complex requirement. The product manager should also work with the team to identify ways to deliver visual representations of the complex work to the customer, such as diagrams, flowcharts, or mock-ups. It is important not to lower the priority of the complex activity because it will increase the risk of finding issues later in the project and not to inform the customer that there will not be any deliverable due to the complexity involved in the requirement because it could create dissatisfaction with the product.

B is the answer

Sry, as mentioned, C is the right answer.

I think its B, as mentioned in option C, PM can not reprioritize backlogs.
