The correct answer is C – Seek regular input from project stakeholders, and reflect this input in the backlog’s priorities. Agile is a stakeholder-driven process, and backlog refinement should be informed by continuous feedback. The product owner maximizes value by regularly reviewing stakeholder needs and reprioritizing accordingly.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“The product owner is responsible for maintaining the backlog and ensuring it reflects stakeholder priorities. Ongoing engagement with stakeholders ensures the product delivers maximum value.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.2 – Product Backlog Management)
Mike Griffiths adds:
“Agile product owners engage stakeholders continuously to update priorities and deliver value incrementally.”
A is good practice but doesn’t address the stakeholder engagement challenge.
B confuses story size with business value.
D lacks the agility required in a fast-moving project.
