Study hall question
Please someone tell me why C is the correct answer and not B? I’ve been watching AR and started smh questions. I feel as though AR has a lot of fluff in the videos “include the team, encourage everyone” where SH is more linear and straight to the point. Unless I am not understanding this correctly.
Question
Since the beginning of a project, the product owner keeps asking during ceremonies about the budget spent for each product iteration. The product owner seems much more interested in the cost rather than the product itself.
What should the project manager have done earlier to change the product owner's behavior?
A.
Worked on different approaches of estimating to give confidence of the cost spent in each product increment
B.
Worked on a communications management plan with reports of budget spent in each iteration versus planned to avoid these discussions during ceremonies
C.
Worked with the product owner to clarify their role in an agile project and the scope of the agile ceremonies
D.
Worked on a fixed-price contract to switch the product owner's attention to value instead of money
Solution: C. Worked with the product owner to clarify their role in an agile project and the scope of the agile ceremonies
The Project Manager should take this opportunity to mentor the Product owner on the role of the team[Product Owner being a part of the team] in Agile projects, which appears to have been missed earlier. Hence this is the correct answer.
The team is not concerned with the budgetary aspects in Agile projects. Hence the remaining options are incorrect
