PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 40

During stage 3 the 'amended course booking procedures' are being delivered using an agile delivery approach. The work package has a fixed time and cost.
There are three sprints during the stage and the prioritized products will be handed over in a phased manner throughout the stage. As part of the 'report management stage end' activity, the project manager identified some follow-on action recommendations relating to the maintenance of the booking procedures that had been handed over.
Is this an appropriate action, why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because time and cost are fixed therefore scope should be prioritized and flexed
• B. Yes, because the users have taken on ongoing ownership of the products handed over
• C. No, because the project manager should ensure that all planned products have been created
• D. No, because the user acceptance should have been obtained at the end of each of the sprints

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because obtaining user acceptance at the end of each sprint is critical in agile methodologies to ensure that the delivered products meet user needs before moving forward. Answers A and B are incorrect as they suggest prioritizing scope adjustments or assuming ownership without confirming acceptance. Answer C is also incorrect because it overlooks the iterative nature of agile, where not all planned products need to be completed before acceptance.
