Your development team is working on a new software product. The market competition is fierce and time-to-market is critical. The stakeholders want to see a working product as soon as possible to begin receiving user feedback. As a PMP certified project manager, how should you guide the team to ensure that the first increment of the product delivers the core functionality needed by the customer?
Advise the team to focus on backend optimizations to ensure that future increments can be developed more rapidly.
Guide the team to use user stories to identify the smallest set of features that will constitute a usable and marketable product.
Instruct the team to include as many requested features as possible in the first increment to make the product more appealing.
Recommend avoiding stakeholder consultations until a more complete version of the product is available to avoid biasing their opinions.
The correct answer is to use user stories to identify the smallest set of features that will constitute a usable and marketable product to determine the MVP. The MVP is the product with the minimum number of features to satisfy early adopters and to provide feedback for future development. User stories are a beneficial tool to capture customer requirements in an Agile environment, focusing on the user's perspective and ensuring that the developed features provide real value. Identifying the smallest set of features keeps the team focused on the most critical aspects that the product must have to meet customer needs without over-engineering at the early stage. The incorrect answers involve either adding unnecessary features, neglecting stakeholder needs, or not providing a clear path to determine the core functionality for the MVP.
