PK0-005 Practice Question: A project team is using an agile methodology and…
A project team is using an agile methodology and the product owner frequently changes priorities mid-sprint. What is the most likely consequence?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the misconception that the product owner's authority to change priorities always leads to better stakeholder satisfaction, but the trap here is that mid-sprint changes actually break the core agile principle of a stable sprint goal, causing missed commitments and reduced trust.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Missed sprint goals
In agile methodology, the sprint is a time-boxed iteration with a fixed scope of work committed by the team. When the product owner frequently changes priorities mid-sprint, it disrupts the team's focus and capacity, making it highly likely that the original sprint goals will not be completed. This directly leads to missed sprint goals, as the team cannot deliver the planned work within the sprint's fixed duration.
