Once the change of priority has been approved, who is then responsible for including the requirement for a secondary exit from the upstairs of the building to the Timebox Plan for Timebox B?

Question

Options

• BTeam Leader.
• CProject Manager and Architect, in the role of Technical Co-ordinator.
• DArchitecture Angels' Senior Management Team.

• B
  93% (26)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

In DSDM (Agile Project Framework), the Team Leader owns day-to-day management of the team's work, which includes maintaining and updating the Timebox Plan - so once a change of priority is approved at a higher level, it falls to the Team Leader to incorporate the new requirement (the secondary exit) into Timebox B's plan.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Business Visionary/Marketing Director): The Business Visionary approves business priorities and provides vision, but does not own detailed Timebox planning - that's an operational, not strategic, responsibility.
• C (Technical Co-ordinator): The Technical Co-ordinator ensures architectural integrity and technical standards; they do not manage the day-to-day Timebox Plan.
• D (Senior Management Team): Senior management may have triggered or approved the priority change, but their role ends at governance - execution and planning responsibility passes down to the Team Leader.

Memory tip: Think of the Team Leader as the "quarterback" - others call the play (approve the change), but the Team Leader is responsible for running it by updating the plan and directing the team.
