Explanation

DSDM defines exactly 2 Management roles: the Project Manager and the Team Leader. These two roles operate at different levels - the Project Manager oversees the overall project and its governance, while the Team Leader manages day-to-day delivery activities within the development team.

• A (3) is wrong because no third management role exists in the standard DSDM role model; candidates sometimes conflate management roles with other project-level roles like the Business Sponsor.
• B (4) overcounts significantly, likely confusing the total management roles with a broader count of all DSDM roles or role categories.
• D (1) undershoots by treating the Project Manager as the sole management role and overlooking the Team Leader's distinct management function.

Memory tip: Think "2 levels, 2 managers" - one manager at the project level (Project Manager) and one at the team level (Team Leader). The number 2 mirrors the two-tier management structure DSDM uses.
