PMP · Question 01 · Task 1: Execute project with the urgency required to deliver business value
A project team is developing a new financial software product using an agile approach. The product owner insists on including a complex reporting feature in the first release to impress stakeholders, even though it is not part of the core transaction functionality required for the initial launch. The team estimates this will delay the release by three weeks. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Accept the request to maintain a good relationship with the product owner and update the schedule.
Refuse the request citing the definition of Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and proceed with the original plan.
Ask the team to work overtime to include the feature without delaying the release date.
Facilitate a discussion on the cost of delay versus the value of the reporting feature for the initial release.
