Selected Answer: C
C. Conducted an end-of-phase demonstration Explanation: Customer Feedback: An end-of-phase demonstration allows the customer to see the product in action and provide immediate feedback, ensuring that the product meets their expectations and requirements. Validation: This demonstration serves as a validation step to confirm that the product aligns with the customer's needs and any deficiencies can be identified and addressed before the final release. Transparency: It promotes transparency and keeps the customer informed about the progress and state of the product, reducing the likelihood of surprises or dissatisfaction upon release. Iterative Improvement: Conducting demonstrations at the end of each phase allows for iterative improvements based on customer feedback, leading to a more refined and satisfactory final product.

Selected Answer: B
A. Project sponsor approval: While seeking approval is important, it doesn't necessarily validate whether the product meets the customer's needs. Relying solely on this might overlook issues with the actual functionalities. C. End-of-phase demonstration: Demonstrations can showcase the product's features, but they might not reveal underlying inconsistencies with the customer's expectations. A thorough review of requirements goes beyond functionality and delves into the intended purpose and value for the customer. D. Retrospective for validation: Retrospectives are valuable for evaluating processes and learning from past experiences. However, they typically occur after releasing the product and wouldn't prevent the initial customer dissatisfaction in this scenario.

C = correct. B = wrong. What if the project is huge? It is a waste of time to take e review of ALL requirements. The demo is a better option (C).

C - Demo is necessary to get customer feedback. If demo was performed before release, customer would have identified deficiencies.

Option C sounds more like waterfall approach, Option B for me is the best answer.

C looks like the best answer. Customer collaboration is better then comperhensive documentation despite its are 2 different values :) And this was not Scrum definetly :)

Indeed, we don't validate documents in the retrospective. However, performing and end of phase demonstration would neither to spot missing requirement nor to ensure acceptance. It is not incorrect but B is a better answer. Reviewing all the requirements to cross check that all are met is the best of the 4 answers.
