Exam PMP topic 1 question 180 discussion

Its a regulatory feature , so it has to be added irrespective of the impact. . Correct option is A

A! because it is a regulation.

B. As it needs to assessed, just adding something to backlog without an assessment might lead to too much tasks in next iterations and lead to delays.

By involving stakeholders, the project manager can: - Assess the feature's priority and impact on the project. - Determine whether adjustments to the timeline, scope, or resources are needed. - Ensure alignment and buy-in from all parties before proceeding.

Answer should be A, the product is responsible to add the feature and take with it stakeholders and the team further in Agile. Answer should have been B if the approach was predictive

A. Ask the product owner to add the missing feature in the backlog.

In an agile project, the product owner is responsible for managing the product backlog, which includes prioritizing features based on their value and necessity. If a significant regulatory feature is missing from the project backlog, the project manager should immediately inform the product owner of this oversight. The product owner can then assess the importance of the feature and add it to the backlog accordingly. missed feature - Increasing the team's capacity is a potential solution if the added feature impacts the project's delivery timeline. However, this should only be considered after the feature is added to the backlog and its implications are fully assessed. The project manager's immediate action should be to ensure that the regulatory feature is included in the backlog for proper prioritization and planning. Subsequent steps will depend on the feature's priority and impact on the project's scope and schedule.

B. Ask stakeholders to discuss the impact of adding regulatory features: PMBOK emphasizes that when a major change occurs, the project manager should discuss it with stakeholders and obtain approval from the change control board (CCB) or relevant authorities. If a critical regulatory feature is missing, it is important to evaluate how adding this feature will affect the scope, schedule, and cost of the project, and discuss it with stakeholders to determine adjustments to ensure successful completion of the project.

PO will manage the backlog.

Stakeholders map out what the project priorities are early in the planning process so they should understand the impact of adding the regulatory feature. The Product owner owns the product backlog and should be asked to add the missing feature after discussion. That’s at least my understanding of Agile.

The best action to take when a significant feature is missing from the project backlog, especially a regulatory one, is to ensure that it is addressed and its implications understood.

The feature has been missed from project backlog. PO is responsible for maintaining project backlog. So, PM must discuss with PO.

Ans is A. Based on the question, looks like it is a complete miss. The team missed to add the regulatory feature. Where is the question of inviting stakeholders and having discussions to find its impact. It is evident that it is a “significant regulatory nature”. So answer is A. The PO should add it right away into backlog. Regarding if capacity is there, if it will impact schedules etc are another part of the discussion, not covered in the question. So answer is A.

B. Invite stakeholders to discuss the impact of adding the regulatory feature

B. Option A, asking the product owner to add the missing feature to the backlog, is not sufficient on its own because it does not address the need to assess the impact and consequences of adding the feature. option B is the most appropriate action, as it involves stakeholders in a discussion to evaluate the impact of adding the regulatory feature and enables the project manager to make an informed decision based on the insights and perspectives of relevant parties.

Option B is the answer

The.product owner might not have added it for a reason so there should be a discussion about it with stakeholders
