A team is holding the first demonstration of the software built to date on a medium-sized project.
The product owner has uncovered a number of issues they would like to be addressed before providing approval.
How should the project manager approach this problem?

At a daily standup on the second day of the sprint, the product owner asks one of the developers to add more functionality to a product backlog item that was committed to in the sprint planning.
The product owner explains that the change is based on a discussion they had with a user, is critical, and should be delivered in the next release.
What should the project manager do?

In the initiating phase of a project, the project manager and team members are prioritizing the product backlog along with the product owner.
What should the project manager do next?

A key project team member had an accident and will be in the hospital for at least two months.
The backlog items the team member was working on have been delayed since the team member was the only person who knew how to complete them.
What could the project manager have done to avoid this situation?

While preparing an earned value analysis (EVA) for a project sponsor, the project manager provides the following information in the latest project report:
Approved work package cost estimates: US$9,500
Contingency reserves: US$500
Management reserves: 10% of contingency reserves
Percent complete of the project: 50%
Planned percent of the project: 40%
Actual cost (AC) of the project: US$4,500
According to the project status, the current budget at completion (BAC) is considered achievable.
What value represents the cost performance required for the remaining work to keep the project cost goal within the baseline?
