A product roadmap should contain which of these primary components?
Correct Answer: A
A product roadmap is a strategic plan that outlines the vision for the product, the business objectives that need to be achieved, and the timeframes for delivering key milestones or features. It provides a high-level overview of the product's development, aligning the team and stakeholders on the product's direction and the expected delivery timeline. Product vision defines what the product aims to achieve and the value it will deliver to customers or the business. Business objectives outline what the product aims to accomplish in terms of business impact, like increasing revenue or improving customer satisfaction. Timeframes indicate when key milestones or releases are planned to occur, ensuring that progress can be tracked and expectations set. This high-level structure is essential for guiding product development and keeping stakeholders aligned, without delving into the specific details of design or project management, which are more suited for other planning documents.

Correct Answer: C
Question 78
An agile leader notices that a team member is becoming very quiet and disengaged in meetings. What should the agile leader do to identify team members' personalities and motivators?
Correct Answer: A
The correct answer is A - Use the DISC framework with each team member. The DISC model (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness) is a well-established behavioral assessment tool used to understand communication preferences, motivators, and individual work styles. Agile leaders may use tools like DISC to foster emotional intelligence, improve collaboration, and re-engage disengaged team members. From the PMI Agile Practice Guide: "Effective agile leaders understand individual team members' communication styles and motivations. Tools such as DISC or MBTI can help assess personality preferences and enable better coaching." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 6.2 - Coaching Agile Teams) Mike Griffiths notes: "Behavioral models such as DISC support the development of emotionally intelligent teams. They help leaders tailor their coaching and communication approaches to individual needs." (Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 4 - Team Performance) Why other options are incorrect: * B (MoSCoW) is a prioritization technique, not a tool for personal engagement. * C (Hiring a SAFe coach) is overkill and not the most direct or relevant response. * D (BDUF - Big Design Up Front) is a traditional approach unrelated to team dynamics or motivation.
