PMP · Question 19 · Task 10: Manage project changes

A project team is working on developing a mobile application using Scrum methodology. During the sprint review, stakeholders request significant changes to the user interface based on usability feedback. The changes would improve user experience but would require reworking 70% of the completed interface components. What should the project manager do?

Answer options:

A.

Reject the changes to protect the work already completed and maintain the sprint schedule

B.

Implement all changes immediately to satisfy stakeholder requirements

C.

Work with the product owner to prioritize the changes and plan them into future sprints

D.

Switch to a predictive approach to better manage the changing requirements

How to approach this question

In agile environments, embrace change but use proper processes (product owner prioritization, sprint planning) to manage it effectively.

Full Answer

C.Work with the product owner to prioritize the changes and plan them into future sprints✓ Correct
Agile methodology embraces change as valuable stakeholder feedback. The product owner prioritizes changes, and they're incorporated through proper sprint planning rather than immediate implementation or rejection.

Common mistakes

Rejecting changes to protect completed work, implementing changes without proper planning, or abandoning agile methodology due to changing requirements.
