Question
Answer the following questions about the tracking and control activities carried out within the project. Decide whether each activity has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision. During Foundations, the key stakeholders had very different views about the content and prioritisation for the high-level requirements. As a result, the Project Manager organized a Facilitated Workshop with the project team to discuss and agree the requirements. Is this an appropriate application of Agile Project Management for this project?
Options
- AYes, because discussing requirements in the presence of project stakeholders will promote
- BYes, because this will allow each team member working in a Timebox to raise any issues which
- CNo, because early and frequent delivery of the product features will on its own be sufficient to
- DNo, because a Review Session should have been scheduled to enable the Solution Development

Explanation
Option A is correct because Facilitated Workshops are a core, recognized technique in AgilePM (DSDM) specifically designed to bring stakeholders together to collaboratively define, discuss, and agree on requirements - which is precisely what the scenario calls for. When stakeholders hold conflicting views during Foundations, a Facilitated Workshop is the appropriate tool to achieve consensus and alignment before development begins.
Option B is wrong because it describes a purpose suited to Daily Stand-ups or Timebox Review meetings - forums for team members to surface issues during active development Timeboxes - not a Foundations-phase requirements alignment session.
Option C is wrong because early and frequent delivery of product features cannot substitute for reaching agreement on what to build; unresolved disagreements about requirements before development starts will not self-correct through delivery alone.
Option D is wrong because Review Sessions are held at the end of a Timebox to inspect delivered output - not a mechanism for resolving stakeholder disagreements about high-level requirements during Foundations.
Memory tip: In AgilePM, match the phase to the technique - Foundations needs a Facilitated Workshop to build shared understanding, while Timeboxes use Stand-ups and Review Sessions. When stakeholders disagree early, "facilitate" to collaborate.
