Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 201 discussion

In this scenario, the agile team should advise the client that it is best to continue as planned rather than introduce unforeseen risks by expediting the schedule. This approach ensures that the team maintains quality and avoids potential risks associated with rushing the delivery. Option B: Advise the client that it is best to continue as planned rather than introduce unforeseen risks by expediting the schedule is the most appropriate choice.

B = correct. Any change within the team (even adding new resources) will slow down the team's performance velocity.

B sounds better

i vote B

Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

choose B

In Agile we generally dont change time and budget. Rather we change requirements to fit the time and budget. I would choose B.

If the client accepted a change in scope, then A should have sense as it means that change is welcome even late in the development. If XP is being used, the latest version could be presented during the Sprint Review... A could make sense.

Between B or D, I choose B because Requesting additional resource and training might take time. Also delivering early one month in 3 months (quarter) time is quite aggressive improvement and risky.

B - Correct ---------- A, D - Incorrect From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 63: “When a team sees what it has not yet completed as it works through an iteration, the team may become dispirited and possibly rush to complete the work without meeting the acceptance criteria.” ---------- C - Incorrect - Change requests are not part of Agile. From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 63: “High-uncertainty projects have high rates of change, complexity, and risk. These characteristics can present problems for traditional predictive approaches that aim to determine the bulk of the requirements upfront and control changes through a change request process. Instead, agile approaches were created to explore feasibility in short cycles and quickly adapt based on evaluation and feedback.”

If we consider three legs of scrum; transparency, inspection, and adaptation, then B is the answer. Without transparency and inspection you cant go with unplanned sprint

Why A doesn't make sense ?

I'm hesitating between B and D...

D. I would add more resouces to meet the expedite deadline

My choice is B

A doesn't make sense. B sounds reasonable
