PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) Practice Exam

What does a Product Road Map illustrate?

1. Detailed tasks for each sprint

2. Planned product functionality over time

3. A timeline for project completion

4. The project's financial projections

The correct answer is: Planned product functionality over time

The correct answer illustrates the planned product functionality over time. A Product Road Map serves as a strategic tool that outlines the vision, goals, and development path of a product. It provides stakeholders with a high-level overview of what features or functionalities will be delivered and when they are expected to be developed and released. This helps align the team and stakeholders around a common understanding of the product direction and priorities, allowing for better planning and decision-making. In contrast, detailed tasks for each sprint focus more specifically on the short-term implementation within the Agile framework, which is not the primary purpose of a roadmap. While a timeline for project completion may be an aspect of the roadmap, it does not capture the breadth of planned functionality—focusing instead solely on deadlines. Financial projections pertain to budgeting and resource allocation, which are separate from the feature-centric view provided by the Product Road Map. This makes the choice that emphasizes planned product functionality over time the most fitting answer.
