   A government agency is running a PRINCE2 Agile project to replace its legacy tax processing system. The project executive is a senior civil servant. The Chief Product Owner (CPO) has been managing the product backlog and has been in regular contact with citizens and tax advisors. The project manager has been coordinating the delivery team, which is using Scrum. The project is in its fourth iteration, and the team has delivered several working increments. However, the project executive has just received a report from project assurance indicating that the team has been focusing on features that are not aligned with the latest government policy changes. The CPO argues that the backlog reflects the needs of the users, but the policy changes are mandatory. What should the project executive do?

   • ADirect the CPO to re-prioritize the backlog to incorporate the mandatory policy changes, as the executive is accountable for the business case and ensuring value for money.
   • BInstruct project assurance to stop raising concerns, as the team is self-organizing and should be trusted.
   • CDelegate the decision to the CPO, as they own the product vision and are responsible for prioritizing the backlog.
   • DAsk the project manager to re-scope the project to exclude the policy changes, as they are not in the original business case.
