A project manager is working on an agile project where the product owner has been making priority decisions without consulting the development team about technical dependencies and effort implications. This has led to inefficient sprint planning and frustrated developers. What should the project manager do?

Answer options:

Facilitate collaborative planning sessions where the product owner and development team can share perspectives on priorities and technical considerations

Require the product owner to consult with the development team before making any priority changes

Give the development team veto power over product owner priority decisions

Create a technical review board to evaluate all product owner decisions

How to approach this question

When product owners and development teams aren't collaborating effectively, facilitate processes that bring their perspectives together rather than creating rigid rules or hierarchies.

Full Answer
