When working on a new product, what should an agile team do to ensure alignment...

The correct answer is B – Review the project vision statement.

A shared vision ensures that the team and stakeholders are aligned on the purpose, value, and expected outcomes of the product. In Agile, the vision statement guides product development and ensures that decisions made during iterations are grounded in stakeholder needs.

From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:

“A clear product vision guides the team and stakeholders in understanding the product’s purpose and desired outcomes. The product vision promotes alignment and provides a foundation for ongoing decisions.”

(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.1 – Vision)

Mike Griffiths also emphasizes:

“A product vision helps ensure everyone is heading in the same direction. It’s critical to regularly revisit this vision to maintain alignment with stakeholders and the evolving product strategy.”

(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 3 – Value-Driven Delivery)

Why the other options are incorrect:

A (kick-off meetings) may help in initial orientation but doesn’t sustain alignment over time.

C contradicts Agile’s preference for lightweight documentation and ongoing collaboration.

D is general process alignment—not specific to stakeholder engagement.

Answer: B
