APMG-International AgilePM-Practitioner Exam - Topic 1 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for APMG-International's AgilePM-Practitioner exam

Question #: 29
Topic #: 1

Answer the following questions about the acceptance criteria within the project.

Decide whether the approach to setting and using acceptance criteria has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.

During Solution Development Timebox A, a new Health and Safety requirement arises: the front door is required to have wheelchair access. This is a legal requirement and is a Must Have before any staff or general public access can be allowed. The Solution Development Team will work with the Local Planning Authority Officer, the specialist who identified the requirement, to identify further acceptance criteria for Solution Development Timebox A.

Is this an appropriate action related to acceptance criteria?

AYes, because the new requirement needs to be understood, built and delivered in this Timebox.

BYes, because the Local Planning Authority Officer owns the justification for the new requirement.

CNo, because this new requirement would NOT be included in the original Prioritised Requirements List and therefore does NOT need acceptance criteria to be defined.

DNo, because the Business Visionary is responsible for defining acceptance criteria.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A . Yes, because the new requirement needs to be understood, built and delivered in this Timebox.

Rationale:

Agile Project Management is adaptable to changes, even late in the development process. The introduction of a new Health and Safety requirement, such as wheelchair access, which is a legal and must-have requirement, needs to be incorporated into the project as soon as it is identified. Working with the Local Planning Authority Officer to define acceptance criteria ensures that the requirement is clearly understood and that the solution developed meets the necessary legal standards. This approach ensures that the team can immediately address the new requirement and integrate it into the current work cycle, aligning with Agile's principle of welcoming changing requirements, even late in development, for the customer's competitive advantage.

I’m not convinced about option B. Just because the Local Planning Authority Officer identified it doesn’t mean they own the acceptance criteria, right?

I feel like this situation is similar to a practice question we did where we had to adapt to new requirements mid-project. I think A is the right choice here.

I'm a bit unsure about this. I remember something about prioritization, but if it's a legal requirement, shouldn't it be included regardless?

I think option A makes sense since the requirement is a legal must-have, so it definitely needs to be addressed in this Timebox.

I'm a bit confused here. The question is asking if the approach to the acceptance criteria is appropriate, but there are a few different options. I'll need to re-read the details and think through the implications of each choice.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The new requirement seems important, but I'm not sure if it should be handled within the current timebox or if it needs to be added to the original requirements list. I'll have to think this through.

Haha, imagine if the Business Visionary tried to define acceptance criteria for a legal wheelchair access requirement. That would be a real 'must not' situation!
