The correct answer is D - Facilitate a product development roadmap workshop. Engaging stakeholders early through a roadmap workshop helps align expectations, prioritize outcomes, and build shared understanding around value delivery.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
"Product roadmaps provide a high-level view of deliverables and timing. Facilitating roadmap workshops ensures that all stakeholders contribute to and align with the vision." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.4 - Product Roadmap and Planning) Mike Griffiths further explains:
"Roadmap workshops allow stakeholders to discuss release priorities and business goals, ensuring engagement in the planning process and continuous alignment throughout the project." (Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 5 - Adaptive Planning) Incorrect options:
* A reflects a waterfall mindset.
* B involves team-level planning, not broad stakeholder engagement.
* C is informative but not collaborative or sufficient for planning.
