Project Management Professional Practice Question

During a sprint planning meeting for a new e-commerce platform, the product owner presents an item from the backlog: 'As a customer, I want to save my payment information, so that I can complete future purchases more quickly.' A junior developer on the team is confused, asking why the requirements are not more technical. How should the project manager explain the primary role of this item?

  • State that it serves as a formal contract with stakeholders, obligating the team to deliver the feature exactly as written.

  • Clarify that it is a detailed technical specification meant to be converted directly into code by the development team.

  • Inform the developer that it is a placeholder for tracking bugs related to the payment feature once it is developed.

  • Explain that this user story captures the feature from an end-user's perspective, providing context and value to guide the team's development work.
