PMI Project-Management-Professional PMP Question # 337 Topic 36 Discussion

The project manager should ensure that the product owner collaborates with the compliance officer to review the user stories in the product backlog and ensure that they meet the regulatory requirements. This is consistent with the agile principle of satisfying the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. The project manager should also monitor the compliance status of the product backlog items and communicate any risks or issues to the relevant stakeholders. The project manager should not have the team consult with the compliance officer to update the DoD for the past sprint, as this would be a waste of time and resources. The project manager should not have the product owner consult with the CCB, as this would introduce unnecessary bureaucracy and delay the delivery of value. The project manager should not have the scrum master organize a weekly meeting with the compliance officer, the product owner, and the project team, as this would reduce the autonomy and self-organization of the team. References:
