PMI-ACP Practice Test

Answer choices

1. A. Cancel the Sprint immediately because any significant market change invalidates the current Sprint, as the recommended implementation across the complete governed service lifecycle.
2. B. Collaborate with the Product Owner to renegotiate the scope of the Sprint Backlog while preserving the Sprint Goal, for the required outcome.
3. C. Add new Product Backlog items to the Sprint Backlog without discussion so the team can respond immediately, as described.
4. D. Extend the Sprint timebox to create enough time to complete both the original and revised scope, within the stated policy framework.

Wrong-answer review

• A. Cancel the Sprint immediately because any significant market change invalidates the current Sprint, as the recommended implementation across the complete governed service lifecycle.: The scenario explicitly states that the Sprint Goal remains valid, so automatically ending the Sprint is not supported by the stated facts.
• C. Add new Product Backlog items to the Sprint Backlog without discussion so the team can respond immediately, as described.: Unilateral additions bypass collaboration and can endanger the Sprint Goal.
• D. Extend the Sprint timebox to create enough time to complete both the original and revised scope, within the stated policy framework.: A Sprint is a fixed timebox; changing scope is preferable to extending the Sprint.
