The correct answer is A – High-risk features can be prioritized to fit into releases with less work in progress. Agile emphasizes risk-driven delivery: high-risk and high-value features should be addressed early to reduce uncertainty. Managing WIP also helps improve focus and throughput.
From PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Agile teams often deliver the highest risk or highest value items early in the project. This helps reduce uncertainty and allows for faster feedback and adaptation.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 3.4 – Value Delivery and Risk)
From Mike Griffiths’ PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book:
“Prioritizing high-risk features early is a proactive risk management strategy. Teams can reduce the likelihood of failure by discovering major issues early and correcting them while time and budget allow.”
(Mike Griffiths, Chapter 5 – Adaptive Planning)
Option B delays addressing risk.
Option C focuses on low-value items and may not satisfy customer concerns.
Option D adjusts WIP but doesn’t directly address prioritizing the risky features.
