PMP Question 665

[admin]

During a program increment planning session, three Scrum teams working on the same product review a shared burnup chart. One team interprets the chart as showing excellent progress toward the release goal, while another believes the team is behind schedule because the scope line has been gradually increasing. The third team is unsure what the chart represents at all.

What should the Release Train Engineer (RTE) do first?

A. Ask each team to create and use their own burnup chart
B. Clarify the meaning of the burnup chart and how to interpret it
C. Freeze the scope immediately to prevent further confusion
D. Increase the frequency of progress reporting across teams

✅ Correct Answer: B. Clarify the meaning of the burnup chart and how to interpret it

🔍 Explanation:
A. Ask each team to create and use their own burnup chart
❌ Would reduce alignment across teams and create inconsistent metrics.

B. Clarify the meaning of the burnup chart and how to interpret it
✅ Correct – Misinterpretation is causing confusion; the first step is to ensure everyone understands what the chart shows before making process changes.

C. Freeze the scope immediately to prevent further confusion
❌ Scope freeze is a drastic step that doesn’t address the root cause of misunderstanding.

D. Increase the frequency of progress reporting across teams
❌ More frequent reporting won’t help if the metric itself is misunderstood.
