PMP Question 659

[admin]

You’re facilitating a strategic roadmap planning session. The Product Owner has prioritized features based on stakeholder pressure rather than customer impact or business value. Meanwhile, the team is concerned that high-value but less visible enablers are being delayed.

What is the most appropriate action to take next?

A. Proceed with current priorities to maintain stakeholder alignment
B. Reprioritize based on Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) or similar value metrics
C. Ask the team to push enablers in quietly alongside visible work
D. Raise the concern in the next Sprint Review for broader input

✅ Correct Answer: B. Reprioritize based on Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) or similar value metrics

🔍 Explanation of Options:
A. Proceed with current priorities to maintain stakeholder alignment
❌ Incorrect. Agile prioritization should be based on customer and business value, not politics or pressure. This option sacrifices long-term outcomes for short-term comfort.

B. Reprioritize based on WSJF or similar value metrics
✅ Correct. WSJF (or similar frameworks like MoSCoW or Value vs. Effort) helps make objective, transparent decisions. It ensures the most valuable work is done first.

C. Ask the team to push enablers in quietly alongside visible work
❌ Incorrect. This bypasses proper prioritization and reduces transparency, which contradicts Agile principles.

D. Raise the concern in the next Sprint Review for broader input
❌ Incorrect. Sprint Reviews are for inspecting the Increment, not for strategic roadmap prioritization. That should happen in roadmapping or portfolio sessions.
