Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 39

An agile project team is looking to develop quality standards for a project.
How should the project manager coach the team?

Answer options

• A. Determine the tools and techniques suitable for the project and ensure that testing is done early and continuously.
• B. Ensure that the definition of done (DoD) is provided when the product owner agrees that all acceptance criteria have been met for the user story.
• C. Insist that test-driven development is implemented along with the automated testing.
• D. Inform the team that user acceptance testing is required to ensure that the product owner accepts the solution.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because establishing quality standards involves selecting the right tools and techniques and ensuring continuous testing throughout the project. Option B focuses on the definition of done, which is important but does not directly address developing quality standards. Option C mandates a specific approach to testing that may not be suitable for all teams, while option D pertains to a later stage of the project rather than defining quality standards.
