For an agile project, the lead PM must prioritize requirements, define the initial product scope, and deliver it across multiple releases. What should they do next?

In an agile project, the Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Development Team. This includes managing the Product Backlog, which involves clearly expressing Product Backlog items, ordering them to best achieve goals and missions, and ensuring the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all. Therefore, the Project Manager (PM) should collaborate with the Product Owner to evaluate and prioritize requirements, ensuring alignment with business value and project goals. Identifying expected benefits (A) is part of the prioritization process but not the next complete step for the PM. Asking the lead developer to convene stakeholders (B) is incorrect because requirement prioritization is primarily the Product Owner's responsibility, not the lead developer's. Prioritizing based on stakeholder hierarchy (D) is a traditional, less agile approach that doesn't necessarily maximize business value.
