    PMP · Question 04 · Task 1: Plan and manage project compliance

    An Agile team is developing a healthcare application. A new patient privacy regulation is passed mid-project. The Product Owner is unsure how to handle this new requirement alongside the existing high-priority features in the backlog.<br/><br/>What should the project manager advise the Product Owner to do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Treat the compliance requirement as a non-functional requirement and handle it in the hardening sprint.

    B.

    Create a separate compliance project to run in parallel so the main team maintains velocity.

    C.

    Add the compliance requirement to the bottom of the backlog to be addressed if time permits.

    D.

    Prioritize the compliance requirement at the top of the backlog as a mandatory constraint.

    How to approach this question

    In Agile, mandatory compliance is often treated as a constraint or a high-priority backlog item that must be cleared to achieve 'Done'.

    Full Answer

    D.Prioritize the compliance requirement at the top of the backlog as a mandatory constraint.✓ Correct
    New regulatory requirements are mandatory constraints. In Agile, they should be added to the Product Backlog and typically prioritized at the top because the product cannot be legally released or used without them. Ignoring them or delaying them creates 'compliance debt'.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking compliance is 'non-functional' and can wait (A) or is lower priority than business features (C).
