Read the first 7 Stakeholder Engagement flashcards as text

  1. A product owner notices that a key stakeholder stopped attending sprint reviews. What is the BEST first step?

    Answer: Reach out directly to understand their concerns and re-engage them

    Proactively reaching out to disengaged stakeholders helps identify barriers and restore collaboration before issues worsen.

  2. Which technique helps prioritize stakeholder engagement efforts based on their influence and interest?

    Answer: Power/Interest grid

    The Power/Interest grid maps stakeholders by their authority and concern, guiding how much engagement effort to invest in each.

  3. In agile, what does 'transparency' mean in the context of stakeholder engagement?

    Answer: Making work progress, impediments, and decisions visible to stakeholders

    Transparency in agile means stakeholders can see the current state of work, blockers, and key decisions through artifacts like backlogs and sprint reviews.

  4. A stakeholder frequently requests scope changes mid-sprint. How should an agile team handle this?

    Answer: Log the requests in the product backlog for prioritization in future sprints

    Mid-sprint scope changes are captured in the product backlog and prioritized by the product owner for future sprints to protect the current sprint goal.

  5. What is the primary purpose of a stakeholder communication plan in agile projects?

    Answer: To define how, when, and what information is shared with each stakeholder group

    A communication plan ensures each stakeholder receives relevant information at appropriate intervals through suitable channels.

  6. Which agile event is MOST focused on demonstrating value to stakeholders and gathering their feedback?

    Answer: Sprint review

    The sprint review is specifically designed to show completed work to stakeholders and collect their feedback to inform future backlog priorities.

  7. A new executive stakeholder wants daily written status reports from the agile team. What should the team do?

    Answer: Explain how existing agile artifacts and ceremonies provide this transparency more efficiently

    Agile teams should educate stakeholders on how existing practices like backlogs, burndowns, and sprint reviews already provide the needed visibility.
