Question 1239

A project manager is facilitating a project steering committee meeting where the prioritization of work items in the backlog is being discussed. The engineering executive wants to prioritize features based on level of effort, completing the smallest items first. The quality executive wants to complete the most complex tasks first to have adequate time to ensure a quality product is delivered. The compliance officer wants to complete items with associated regulatory components as they are essential items.

How should the project manager prioritize the work items?

    Correct Answer: C

    In project management, it is crucial to deliver the highest business value to achieve project success. By ensuring that the team assesses opportunities to deliver items with the highest business value incrementally, the project manager can balance the priorities of different stakeholders and ensure that the project progresses efficiently. This approach allows the team to deliver valuable features early, receive feedback, and make necessary adjustments to maximize overall project value.
