Scrum Exam PSPO-II Topic 2 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSPO-II exam

Question #: 29
Topic #: 2

[All PSPO-II Questions]

You work for a large financial institution. Your products have many interdependencies: you have

mobile, web, and ATM product interfaces to financial products like savings, checking, spending,

electronic payments, credit cards, and investments. When any of these financial products

change, the changes ripple throughout the mobile, web, and ATM clients, and maintaining

consistency is challenging. What should you do to reduce this problem?

(choose the best answer)

AForm products that are as independent as possible and let each product determine
their own release plans, but ensure coordination.

BCreate a centralized, coordinated cross-product Development Plan to ensure
consistency.

CAppoint a Project Lead to oversee all the products.

DEnsure that the PMO manages the inter-product dependencies.

EAll of the above.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A is correct because forming products that are as independent as possible reduces the complexity and dependency of the product development, and allows each product to deliver value faster and more frequently1.Coordination among the products is still necessary to ensure alignment and consistency, but it should not be centralized or imposed by a higher authority2.B is incorrect because creating a centralized, coordinated cross-product Development Plan goes against the principles of empiricism, self-organization, and agility that Scrum promotes3.C is incorrect because appointing a Project Lead to oversee all the products undermines the accountability and autonomy of the Product Owners and the Scrum Teams4.D is incorrect because ensuring that the PMO manages the inter-product dependencies creates a layer of bureaucracy and control that hinders the collaboration and innovation of the Scrum Teams5. E is incorrect because it includes all the wrong answers.

I like the PMO idea, but they'll need some serious project management chops to untangle this mess. Option B is the safest bet.

I think having each product determine their own release plans could lead to inconsistencies.
