PMP Question 640

[admin]

Your Scrum team has just completed a sprint. During the sprint review, multiple stakeholders attend, including marketing and operations. The team demonstrates the completed product increment and receives valuable feedback. A senior stakeholder suggests that the team go ahead and add a new feature starting tomorrow, as it would help align with an upcoming release. The Product Owner is hesitant, but the team agrees to include it without adjusting the backlog or consulting the rest of the business.

In this scenario, what is the one thing that should NOT be done?

A. Add new feature requests to the product backlog
B. Accept stakeholder feedback to improve product value
C. Commit to new work without backlog refinement
D. Demonstrate and discuss the increment with all parties

✅ Correct Answer: C. Commit to new work without backlog refinement

🔍 Explanation:
A. Add new feature requests to the product backlog
✅ Appropriate. New requests from stakeholders are valuable and should be added to the backlog for prioritization—not ignored.

B. Accept stakeholder feedback to improve product value
✅ Appropriate. Feedback is a key purpose of the sprint review—it drives adaptive planning and responsiveness to change.

C. Commit to new work without backlog refinement
❌ Not appropriate. Even if stakeholders and team members are enthusiastic, work should never be accepted directly into the next sprint without going through the Product Owner, backlog refinement, and prioritization. This violates Agile discipline and can harm focus and value delivery.

D. Demonstrate and discuss the increment with all parties
✅ Appropriate. Full transparency and open discussion with stakeholders is a hallmark of a successful sprint review.
