Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 507

An organization that embraced agile a couple of years ago is looking for a more efficient way to ensure that the increments produced in each sprint meet the end users' quality requirements.

What should the project lead recommend?

Answer options

• A. Develop a more comprehensive template for the definition of done (DoD).
• B. Establish a quality assurance (QA) team separate from the development team.
• C. Organize more frequent sprint reviews with a broader audience.
• D. Increase the percentage allocated for testing each backlog item.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, emphasizes the importance of a clear definition of done, which helps ensure quality standards are met consistently. Option B may create silos that hinder collaboration between teams, while C, although beneficial for feedback, does not directly address quality assurance. Option D increases testing resources but does not enhance the criteria for completion.
