Exam CISSP topic 1 question 247 discussion

it should be the product owner or stakeholder.. =business customers

project manager

The business customers (or product owners representing them) are the most critical in defining acceptance criteria because they understand the business needs and priorities.

Normally it is a process that is led by the Product Owner who is a member of the delivery team. In their absence, yes, a project manager can create acceptance criteria for each release in Agile methodology, but it's usually a collaborative effort. Explanation Acceptance criteria are a set of requirements that a product must meet before it's ready for customers. They're a critical part of the product development process because they ensure everyone is aligned and that the product is built to the correct specifications. So it can't be A (Business Customers) as they are consulted and they approve them but they don't create them.

Changing from Waterfall to Agile. Business requirements are set already and change is to keep up with expectations on delivery, hence the PM to meet the demand

Answer A) Business Customers https://resources.scrumalliance.org/Article/need-know-acceptance-criteria#:~:text=Enter%2C%20acceptance%20criteria%3A%20the%20conditions%20required%20for%20the%20customer%2C%20product%20owner%2C%20or%20stakeholder(s)%20to%20accept%20the%20work%20you%E2%80%99ve%20done.

Business customers, as acceptance criteria are the general statement of what the customer wants. https://resources.scrumalliance.org/Article/need-know-acceptance-criteria#:~:text=Acceptance%20criteria%20are%20defined%20as,re%20never%20only%20partially%20fulfilled.

A. Business customers are the most critical in creating acceptance criteria for each release in an Agile methodology. Agile emphasizes collaboration between development teams and business stakeholders, and acceptance criteria are used to ensure that the product being developed meets the needs of the business customers and stakeholders.

A. Business customers

Business customers are the most critical in creating acceptance criteria for each release, as they are the ones who understand the business needs and objectives and can therefore provide the most accurate and relevant requirements for each release. They also play an important role in prioritizing features and functionality and also in validating whether the software meets the business needs.

Generally, acceptance criteria are initiated by the product owner or stakeholder. They are written prior to any development of the feature. Their role is to provide guidelines for a business or user-centered perspective. Business customers are inclusive of all the other options.

I would go with D, Project Manager. Because the key here is "creating acceptance criteria" The customers are rarely do create acceptance criteria themselves.

The business customers option is only after the final release. The answer should be independent testers before the release.

Acceptance criteria (AC) are the conditions that a software product must meet to be accepted by a user, a customer, or other systems. They are unique for each user story and define the feature behavior from the end-user’s perspective. https://www.altexsoft.com/blog/business/acceptance-criteria-purposes-formats-and-best-practices/
