PMP Question 658

[admin]

You’re facilitating a quarterly roadmap session for an Agile program involving multiple teams. Leadership insists on having exact delivery dates for features 6–9 months out to align with marketing campaigns and investor presentations. However, several features are not fully understood yet, and teams have not estimated them.

What should you do in this situation?

A. Commit tentative delivery dates for all features to meet leadership needs
B. Prioritize features with clear scope and provide dates only for those
C. Ask teams to estimate all features quickly for rough timelines
D. Replace the roadmap with a product backlog and focus on near-term items

✅ Correct Answer: B. Prioritize features with clear scope and provide dates only for those

🔍 Explanation of Options:
A. Commit tentative delivery dates for all features to meet leadership needs
❌ Incorrect. This creates false precision and sets unrealistic expectations. Agile values adaptability over rigid planning.

B. Prioritize features with clear scope and provide dates only for those
✅ Correct. Agile roadmaps are forecast-driven, not commitment-based. Provide confidence levels only for items with known scope and velocity trends. Keep later features flexible.

C. Ask teams to estimate all features quickly for rough timelines
❌ Incorrect. Rushing estimation leads to low-quality inputs and poor planning. It’s better to focus on progressive elaboration.

D. Replace the roadmap with a product backlog and focus on near-term items
❌ Incorrect. While Agile favors adaptability, roadmaps are valuable for strategic alignment and stakeholder communication. Don’t discard them—make them flexible.
