PMP Practice Question 213 - Process
A company started a project to create a new product that will be delivered in iterations. The artwork development plan included extensive consultation and validation before the build. The company changed the focus of the project to speed to market because one of their competitors announced the launch of a similar product. What should the project lead do?
- ✓ Correct A.Work with the product owner to assess the impact and reprioritize the product backlog.
- B.Schedule a meeting with the project sponsor to identify and allocate additional resources.
- C.Submit a formal change request and obtain approval from the change control board (CCB).
- D.Meet with the Scrum Master to determine if the development cycle can be reduced.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When a competitor announces a similar product launch and the company shifts focus to speed to market, the project lead should work with the product owner to assess the impact and reprioritize the product backlog. Backlog reprioritization is the fastest lever in iterative delivery to accelerate value delivery. Scheduling a meeting to allocate additional resources (B) increases cost without guaranteeing speed. Submitting a formal change request (C) is too slow for the urgency. Reducing the development cycle (D) requires prioritization first.
