A project team is working on the design of a solution for a complex project.

  • C. Ask the customer to develop a document with the requirements.

Selected Answer: C
A. Welcome and involve the contractors as part of the project team. Most Voted C. Ask the customer to develop a document with the requirements. A is wrong. The contractors will not feel welcomed as they thought the meeting would waste time. Rather than that, it would be better to check if they are well aware of the requirement.

Selected Answer: A
A. Welcome and involve the contractors as part of the project team. Including the contractors in the daily meetings with the customer can help address their concerns, improve communication, and ensure alignment on project objectives and requirements. It also fosters collaboration and a sense of ownership among all team members, including external contractors.

Can't understand why A is correct - if the contractors not agreeing with this idea then how are they going to attend the meeting if there are invited? thoughts?

Agile looks like that you have to be open minded and take it easy :)

Thanks for your comment - can you please explain it more to me. What is meant by welcoming the contractor to the team?

contractors seems to be exposed with predictive model. inviting them to stand up meeting will expose them to agile methodology, which in turn could change their mind that this is not a waste of time afterall.

But they feel its a waste of time, how are you going to invite them to meetings that they refused to attend in the first place?
