Answer the following questions about the use of the Agile principles. Final checks carried out on the rooms delivered in Timebox A show that two of the items do NOT meet the required Must Have…

Question

Options

• ACollaborate.
• BNever compromise quality.
• CBuild incrementally from firm foundations.
• DCommunicate continuously and clearly.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  91% (31)
• C
  6% (2)

Explanation

"Never compromise quality" (B) is correct because the scenario describes a deliberate decision to reject deliverables that fail the defined Must Have standards - quality gates are non-negotiable in Agile, and items not meeting them are explicitly marked as undelivered and re-planned rather than accepted with defects.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Collaborate) - Collaboration is about teamwork and stakeholder involvement, not the specific act of rejecting substandard work against defined criteria.
• C (Build incrementally from firm foundations) - This principle concerns iterative delivery and ensuring earlier work is solid before building on it; it doesn't directly drive the rejection of non-conforming items.
• D (Communicate continuously and clearly) - While communicating the failure is part of the process, the driving force behind the rejection decision is the quality standard itself, not the act of communicating.

Memory tip: Whenever a scenario involves rejecting, withholding acceptance, or re-planning work because it fails a defined standard, that's always a quality signal - the phrase "Must Have" is a direct reference to MoSCoW prioritisation, and failing a Must Have = a quality failure, pointing straight to B.
