Adobe Exam AD0-E903 Topic 3 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E903 exam

Question #: 21
Topic #: 3

A company has decided that all projects for the year need to be created from templates and staffed in the following quarter. The projects will need to remain in a backlog until the team has capacity to work on them. There has been confusion previously because the team used Planning status for all work not started.

What should the project manager do to help the team see the difference between work in the backlog versus work that is now being planned?

ALoad the project template once the team has bandwidth to start on the project.

BCreate projects but leave the roles in place without assigning users.

CCreate a custom status for Backlog to use prior to using the Planning status.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

In Workfront, creating a custom status specifically for 'Backlog' allows the team to differentiate between work that is pending capacity and work that is actively being planned. This prevents confusion and allows for better project tracking, ensuring that tasks move smoothly from backlog to the planning phase when appropriate.

I'm going with C as well. Gotta love it when a project manager comes up with a custom status to solve a problem. Like a project superhero, saving the day with their status-creating powers!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option B seems like it could work too, but then the roles might get confusing. Better to just have a separate Backlog status, in my opinion.

I prefer loading the project template once we have bandwidth to start.

I think option C is the way to go. Having a dedicated Backlog status will make it crystal clear which projects are just sitting in the queue versus ones that are actively being planned.

Option C sounds like a good idea. It will definitely help differentiate between backlog and planning status.
