On an agile project, it is important to identify and engage business stakeholders throughout the project and to ensure the team understands the stakeholders' business needs. Which option supports this idea?
Correct Answer: B
The correct answer is B - A product backlog should be created to list the project requirements from all of the project stakeholders. In Agile, the product backlog serves as a living document where requirements, user stories, and stakeholder feedback are continuously refined. It is the central mechanism for capturing and prioritizing stakeholder needs and ensuring that business value is delivered incrementally. From the PMI Agile Practice Guide: "The product backlog is a prioritized list of work for the development team that is derived from stakeholder input, user stories, and emerging needs. It evolves as the project progresses and stakeholder feedback is incorporated." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.2 - Product Backlog) Mike Griffiths writes: "Product backlogs provide transparency into stakeholder priorities. They enable the team to continuously align work with customer expectations and business needs." (Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 3 - Stakeholder Engagement) Why the other options are incorrect: * A refers to the traditional project charter, which is not commonly updated throughout the agile life cycle. * C is a misunderstanding-the Agile Manifesto is a set of principles, not a project-specific document. * D misuses user stories; stories are used for functional requirements, not stakeholder profiles.

Question 170
What is the project leader trying to create?
Correct Answer: B
The " Life Timeline " exercise is a technique used to build psychological safety and vulnerability-based trust. According to Mike Griffiths' PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 3: Team Performance), exercises that encourage sharing personal stories and emotional journeys foster deep interpersonal connection, which is foundational to high-performance teams. The PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 4.3.2: Building Trust) emphasizes the role of emotional intelligence and trust-building in agile teams, stating that teams become high-performing when they feel safe to express themselves without fear of judgment. * Option B is correct: the exercise builds vulnerability and trust-key drivers of high performance. * Option A focuses on trust but doesn ' t emphasize vulnerability, which is central here. * Option C is too generic. * Option D misframes the purpose-it's about building connection, not assessing competencies.
