PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is managing an agile project
A project manager is managing an agile project. The team uses iterative development and daily stand-up meetings. Which of the following is a key principle of agile project management?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'customer collaboration' with simply having meetings, but the key distinction is that agile prioritizes ongoing, direct customer involvement over formal contract terms, which is a core shift from traditional project management.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
The Agile Manifesto prioritizes customer collaboration over contract negotiation, meaning the project team works closely with the customer to refine requirements and deliver value iteratively. In an agile project with daily stand-ups and iterative development, this principle ensures continuous feedback and adaptation rather than rigid adherence to a contract.
