PMP Practice Question 1226 - Process
A project is ending its fifth out of six iterations. During the iteration review, a customer adds a new regulatory feature that exceeds the capacity of the remaining iteration. What should the project lead do?
- A.Increase the team capacity to finish the project on time.
- B.Invite the stakeholders to discuss a new prioritization.
- C.Register an issue and escalate it to the project sponsor.
- ✓ Correct D.Estimate the impact and consult with the product owner.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When a customer adds a new regulatory feature exceeding the remaining iteration's capacity, the project lead should estimate the impact and consult with the product owner. This enables informed prioritization decisions about trade-offs between the new feature and existing scope. Increasing team capacity (A) may not be feasible within the remaining iteration. Inviting stakeholders for reprioritization (B) bypasses the product owner's role. Registering an issue and escalating to the sponsor (C) over-escalates before assessing options.
