1 / 5
The team plans to ___ the new dashboard feature in the next release.
To ship a feature means to release it to users — the central product/engineering verb. Ship collocates with feature, product, and release. Send, post, and launch out are not idiomatic in this product sense. PMs say "ship the feature this quarter," so ship a feature is the correct collocation.
2 / 5
The product manager will ___ the backlog so the team focuses on the highest-impact work.
To prioritise the backlog means to order work items by value and urgency. Prioritise is the standard PM term. Organise up, line up, and set out are informal or imprecise. PMs "prioritise the backlog against the roadmap," so prioritise the backlog is the correct collocation.
3 / 5
Before committing to the feature, the PM needs to ___ the key stakeholders on the approach.
To align stakeholders means to get everyone to a shared understanding and agreement. Align is the precise term, behind "stakeholder alignment" and "align on priorities." Agree up, settle, and level out are informal or non-idiomatic. PMs "align stakeholders before kickoff," so align stakeholders is the correct collocation.
4 / 5
The PM will ___ the requirements clearly in the PRD so engineering knows what to build.
To define requirements means to specify precisely what a feature must do. Define is the standard term, behind "well-defined requirements." Write up is close but less precise, and lay and put down are not idiomatic. PMs "define the requirements in the PRD," so define requirements is the correct collocation.
5 / 5
To validate the idea quickly, the team will ___ the MVP to the smallest set of features that delivers value.
To scope the MVP means to define the minimal boundary of features for a first release. Scope is the precise term, behind "scope creep" and "scope the work." Size up, cut down, and trim out are informal. Teams "scope the MVP tightly," so scope the MVP is the correct collocation.
