PMI-ACP Question #658: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

How can an agile team working on a new product ensure alignment with external stakeholders?

Options

• AAsk the product owner to provide a detailed product specification document
• BConduct story-mapping exercises to clarify deliverables and release priorities
• CHold a kick-off meeting to assign roles and responsibilities
• DWork with the scrum master and stakeholders to ensure agile principles are followed

Explanation

Story mapping is a collaborative workshop technique where the team and stakeholders walk through user activities to build a shared understanding of the product's scope, priority, and phased delivery. It directly produces a visual alignment artifact that clarifies what will be delivered and when—making it ideal for engaging external stakeholders. A detailed specification document (A) is a waterfall artifact. A kick-off meeting for roles (C) is a one-time event that doesn't address ongoing delivery alignment. Relying on the scrum master to enforce agile principles (D) doesn't address the stakeholder-alignment problem directly.
