NEW QUESTION # 32
Answer the following questions about the acceptance criteria within the project.
Decide whether the approach to setting and using acceptance criteria has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.
The objective of Solution Development Timebox B is to ensure that the front and east wings are finished and approved. The Project Manager has pointed out that acceptance criteria for this part of the solution need to be agreed.
Is this an appropriate action related to acceptance criteria?
- A. Yes, because it will be easier to set acceptance criteria for the Solution Development Timebox as a whole, rather than setting specific acceptance criteria for each individual requirement.
- B. Yes, because this will allow the Solution Development Team to focus on the quality of the Solution Development Timebox's deliverable as a whole, in order to keep focus on the business need.
- C. No, because the acceptance criteria for the Solution Development Timebox are just the amalgamation of the individual requirements' acceptance criteria, with nothing extra.
- D. No, because the Solution Development Timebox objective will change if any new requirements emerge or any lower priority requirements are de-scoped.
Answer: B
Explanation:
A; Yes, because this will allow the Solution Development Team to focus on the quality of the Solution Development Timebox's deliverable as a whole, in order to keep focus on the business need.
Rationale:
Setting acceptance criteria for the overall deliverables of a timebox is a key practice in Agile to ensure that the work meets the business objectives and quality expectations. It helps the Solution Development Team to understand what is required for the deliverables to be considered complete and acceptable. This aligns with the Agile principle of delivering quality and maintaining a constant pace of development. It also ensures that all team members are aligned on the goals and can focus on delivering value in line with business needs.

NEW QUESTION # 38
Answer the following questions about the DSDM Lifecycle.
Decide if each observation is an appropriate application of Agile Project Management for this project and select the option that supports your decision.
When the project was in the Feasibility phase it was initially proposed by the Finance Manager that it was a fixed price for a fixed specification' project. The Project Manager has decided that the best way to tackle it would be to leave the development of the least valuable features of the product until last.
Is this an appropriate application of the DSDM lifecycle?
- A. Yes, because the later parts of the project should reflect the least valuable features of the product being built.
- B. No, because the most valuable features of the project should be delivered last.
- C. No, because the Solution Development Team should decide which features are left until last.
- D. Yes, because in a DSDM project there is no detailed specification upfront.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 39
Answer the following questions about the acceptance criteria within the project.
Decide whether the approach to setting and using acceptance criteria has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.
During Solution Development Timebox A, a new Health and Safety requirement arises: the front door is required to have wheelchair access. This is a legal requirement and is a Must Have before any staff or general public access can be allowed. The Solution Development Team will work with the Local Planning Authority Officer, the specialist who identified the requirement, to identify further acceptance criteria for Solution Development Timebox A.
Is this an appropriate action related to acceptance criteria?
- A. Yes, because the new requirement needs to be understood, built and delivered in this Timebox.
- B. No, because the Business Visionary is responsible for defining acceptance criteria.
- C. Yes, because the Local Planning Authority Officer owns the justification for the new requirement.
- D. No, because this new requirement would NOT be included in the original Prioritised Requirements List and therefore does NOT need acceptance criteria to be defined.
Answer: A
Explanation:
A: Yes, because the new requirement needs to be understood, built and delivered in this Timebox.
Rationale:
Agile Project Management is adaptable to changes, even late in the development process. The introduction of a new Health and Safety requirement, such as wheelchair access, which is a legal and must-have requirement, needs to be incorporated into the project as soon as it is identified. Working with the Local Planning Authority Officer to define acceptance criteria ensures that the requirement is clearly understood and that the solution developed meets the necessary legal standards. This approach ensures that the team can immediately address the new requirement and integrate it into the current work cycle, aligning with Agile's principle of welcoming changing requirements, even late in development, for the customer's competitive advantage.
Topic 1, Hoy Hall Hotel Refurbishment Project
Scenario:
Hoy Hall Hotel Refurbishment Project
(Note:
Hoy Hall, a historic, timber-framed building dating from the 17th century, was originally the residence of the Lords of the Manor of Hoytown. The building is registered as a Heritage Building of Special Interest and is subject to restrictions in terms of development. Used as a hotel for over a century, it has recently fallen into disrepair, and for two years it has been completely unused, accelerating its deterioration. The local community has formed the Action Group "Hoy for Hoy Hall" to save the building, and wants to be closely involved in its future success.
After much discussion Hoy Hall has been purchased by Architecture Angels (AA), a small company whose directors are experienced hoteliers. Five years ago they decided to move into the property renovation business and have recently restored two other similarly-endangered buildings for use as hotels.
Architecture Angels are keen to both support local businesses and to have local people run their hotels, giving them a significant amount of autonomy to do this.
To maintain core consistency, the hotels use Architecture Angels' Head Office services, such as IT operations, accounting, payroll, stocktaking, compliance, human resources and property management. The Head Office is based 80 miles from Hoy Hall.
Recently Architecture Angels commenced an Agile project to renovate Hoy Hall, which has a large downstairs hall and reception area, and 20 potential bedrooms upstairs. The roof requires extensive repairs and the electrical and plumbing installations require complete replacement. The 40 acres of land around the site are overgrown and need to be restored, and the driveway needs re-laying.
In the hotel industry, the trend for direct customer bookings via the internet has had a major impact on the growth of those hotels with this facility. Online booking now accounts for around 80% of room bookings, with only 20% being made via walk-in and telephone enquiries. Before Hoy Hall can open for business, a reservation system must be fully operational.
Architecture Angels use contractors to manage such work and have good
relationships with two local companies: Timber Tigers (TT) who will handle the internal works, and Earth Excavations (EE) who will handle the gardens.
A Project Manager, who has since left the company, started the Feasibility phase. This phase has been continued by the Senior Management Team, which consists of the Sales, Marketing, and Finance Directors and the Chief Executive.
This was scheduled to take a month and has almost been completed. A
Feasibility Assessment has been produced. An Outline Business Case has been completed which assessed the project as being viable.
The Architecture Angels Senior Management Team will be responsible for
Steering the project.
The table below shows the appointments planned for the project team and is subject to change.
Additional Information:
The project is approaching the end of Feasibility. The original Project Manager was involved in drafting a Delivery Plan for the project but not in the outline refurbishment options.
The Senior Management Team generated several options for the refurbishment.
All the options included a landscaping solution for the gardens and re-laying of the driveway, as the solution will not be acceptable without these. However, the best solution for the refurbishment is still under debate. The new Project Manager has suggested that a Feasibility Prototype could consist of paper-based drawings for each option. The "Hoy for Hoy Hall" Action Group thinks that a physically-built representation is mandatory for a prototype and wants a small-scale model of the recommendation for the building. The time available to produce this, however, is limited.
Contracts for resources have not yet been signed and will be postponed until the chosen outline solution has been agreed.

NEW QUESTION # 41
During Refinement in Timebox B, a Review Session was scheduled for the Business Visionary to review the products completed during this Timebox, and to agree what needed to be done before these would be acceptable.
Is this an appropriate application of Agile Project Management for this project?
- A. Yes, because this allows each team member working in the Timebox to provide a short progress report and raise any issues that hinder their progress.
- B. No, because only members of the Solution Development Team are permitted to attend Review Sessions.
- C. Yes, because this will enable the Solution Development Team to ensure they are on track to deliver a viable solution.
- D. No, because early and frequent visibility of the product features will maintain engagement with the stakeholders.

Explanation:
Here are the appropriate options for each assertion and reason combination:
* The Marketing Director, in the role of Business Visionary, is empowered to overrule cost restrictions advised by the Chief Accountant, who is appointed as Business Ambassador.
* C. True (Assertion) False (Reason)
* Rationale: While the Business Visionary may have the authority to make strategic decisions that could overrule cost restrictions, the reason given relates to project-level roles directing the project, not to the authority to overrule cost-related advice.
* The Procurement Manager is an appropriate representative of the end user of the solution.
* B. True (Assertion) True (Reason) BUT the reason does not explain the assertion
* Rationale: The Procurement Manager, as part of the operational team, could represent the end user. However, the reason given talks about the empowerment of the Business Ambassador, which does not directly explain why the Procurement Manager is a representative of the end user.
* The other specialist gardening team members from Earth Excavations would be suitable as Solution Developers, assigned alongside the Head Landscape Gardener.
* A. True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion
* Rationale: Specialist gardening team members would be suitable as Solution Developers, providing support to the Lead Developer, which is a common practice in Agile teams.
* The 'Hoy for Hoy Hall' Action Group members should be assigned as Business Ambassadors.
* D. False (Assertion) True (Reason)
* Rationale: While the Business Ambassador should ensure that business needs are analyzed, the
'Hoy for Hoy Hall' Action Group members being assigned as Business Ambassadors is not necessarily true as they are external stakeholders and not necessarily equipped to represent the business internally on a project.
* The Project Manager should plan the communication needed between the Marketing Director, in the role
* of Business Visionary, and the 'Hoy for Hoy Hall' Action Group.
* A. True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion
* Rationale: The Project Manager typically has the responsibility to plan and manage communication between the project team and external stakeholders, and the Business Visionary's role includes promoting the business vision to interested parties, which includes the 'Hoy for Hoy Hall' Action Group.
NEW QUESTION # 43
An external web developer is to be contracted to create the new coffee bar insurance area on the existing web site. The chosen web developer will only agree to work on a 'fixed price for a fixed specification' contract.
What action should the Project Manager take?
- A. Ensure the later elements of the project reflect the most valuable features of the product being built by the contractor.
- B. Refuse to employ the chosen web developer as this is not an Agile
approach to project management. - C. Divide the work into component parts to ensure the web developer is focused on, and is paid to deliver, only what is specified for each component.
- D. Agree to a 'fixed price for a fixed specification' contract with a requirement for the web developer to provide daily progress reports.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Dividing the work into smaller, well-defined component parts is a strategic approach when dealing with fixed-price contracts within an Agile framework. This method allows for greater flexibility and adaptability, as each component can be specified in detail, making it clear what the external web developer is responsible for delivering. This approach aligns with Agile principles by enabling incremental development and delivery, allowing for adjustments and refinements to be made as the project progresses and more information becomes available.
References:
In Agile Project Management, particularly when incorporating external resources or contractors, breaking down the project into smaller, manageable parts is a common practice. This not only facilitates better control and tracking of progress but also ensures that the project remains adaptable, with the capacity to respond to changes in requirements or priorities. This approach is in line with Agile methodologies that emphasize iterative development, customer collaboration, and responding to change over following a fixed plan.
NEW QUESTION # 44
What should be done to allow the requirement for a secondary exit from the upstairs of the building to be changed into a Must Have priority and moved into Timebox B?
- A. The Project Manager should move a Must Have requirement from Timebox B into Timebox C.
- B. The Solution Development Team should change a Must Have requirement into a Should Have in the Prioritised Requirements List.
- C. The Business Visionary, Business Sponsor and Solution Development Team should reassess the Prioritised Requirements List and its priorities.
- D. The Project Manager should extend the timescale of Timebox B and shorten Timebox C.
Answer: C
Explanation:
C: The Business Visionary, Business Sponsor and Solution Development Team should reassess the Prioritised Requirements List and its priorities.
Rationale:
In Agile Project Management, priorities are often reassessed and reprioritized based on new information or changes in the project's context. The need for a secondary exit due to compliance with fire safety regulations would necessitate such a reassessment. The Business Visionary and Business Sponsor, who provide the vision and funding for the project, together with the Solution Development Team, who are responsible for implementing solutions, should collaboratively review the Prioritised Requirements List to reflect this new priority. This change must be agreed upon by these key stakeholders to ensure that it aligns with the business needs and project goals.
NEW QUESTION # 45
Xan Insurance Company operates from one location - a large, open-plan
office in the centre of a city. Those employees that will be working within the Solution Development Team are all based in this office but work at different ends of the office in separate departments.
What action should the Project Manager suggest to ensure the most effective collaboration of the Solution Development Team?
- A. Create an email group for the Solution Development Team to collaborate on ideas.
- B. Relocate these employees to a new project area, with a number of desks where the Solution Development Team can sit together.
- C. No action required as these employees are located in the same office.
- D. Set up a telephone or video conferencing facility so that all members of the team can collaborate effectively.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The most effective action the Project Manager can suggest to ensure the most effective collaboration of the Solution Development Team is:
C: Relocate these employees to a new project area, with a number of desks where the Solution Development Team can sit together.
Co-locating team members in a shared space is a well-established practice in Agile environments to enhance communication, collaboration, and team dynamics. By having the Solution Development Team sit together, the Project Manager can facilitate more efficient face-to-face interactions, quick resolution of issues, and a better sense of team unity. This approach leverages the benefits of immediate communication and collaborative problem-solving, which are key in Agile project management. Even though the team members are currently in the same office, their separation into different ends of the office could hinder spontaneous communication and collaboration. Creating a dedicated project area for the team can significantly improve their ability to work together effectively.
NEW QUESTION # 46

Decide whether the approach to setting and using acceptance criteria has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.
During Solution Development Timebox A, a new Health and Safety requirement arises: the front door is required to have wheelchair access. This is a legal requirement and is a Must Have before any staff or general public access can be allowed. The Solution Development Team will work with the Local Planning Authority Officer, the specialist who identified the requirement, to identify further acceptance criteria for Solution Development Timebox A.
Is this an appropriate action related to acceptance criteria?
- A. Yes, because the new requirement needs to be understood, built and delivered in this Timebox.
- B. No, because the Business Visionary is responsible for defining acceptance criteria.
- C. Yes, because the Local Planning Authority Officer owns the justification for the new requirement.
- D. No, because this new requirement would NOT be included in the original Prioritised Requirements List and therefore does NOT need acceptance criteria to be defined.
Answer: A
Explanation:
A: Yes, because the new requirement needs to be understood, built and delivered in this Timebox.
Rationale:
Agile Project Management is adaptable to changes, even late in the development process. The introduction of a new Health and Safety requirement, such as wheelchair access, which is a legal and must-have requirement, needs to be incorporated into the project as soon as it is identified. Working with the Local Planning Authority Officer to define acceptance criteria ensures that the requirement is clearly understood and that the solution developed meets the necessary legal standards.
