During Timebox A, the Local Planning Authority Officer was sometimes asked to attend the Daily Stand-up meeting as a temporary Specialist team member, to represent any Planning Authority issues.

Question

Options

• AYes, because all stakeholders should attend the Daily Stand-up meetings.
• BYes, because each team member will have an opportunity to highlight any Planning Authority
• CNo, because NOT all members of the Solution Development Team will attend the Daily Stand-up.
• DNo, because only members of the Solution Development Team should be permitted to attend

• A
  96% (24)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because in DSDM (AgilePM), the Daily Stand-up is open to all relevant stakeholders, and when a specialist such as the Local Planning Authority Officer is brought in as a temporary Specialist team member, they become part of the Solution Development Team for that Timebox and are expected to attend - ensuring planning concerns are surfaced daily.

Option B is incorrect not because the reasoning is entirely wrong, but because it is incomplete and does not capture the full principle; the better rationale is the broader stakeholder inclusion rule, not just the opportunity to highlight issues.

Option C is a distractor that misapplies a true fact (not all team members attend every stand-up) to reach a wrong conclusion - the question is about eligibility to attend, not mandatory 100% attendance by all members.

Option D is wrong because the LPA Officer is effectively a member of the Solution Development Team in this context, having been brought in as a temporary Specialist - so the restriction in D doesn't apply here.

Memory tip: Think "temporary = team member." Once someone is given a temporary Specialist role in a Timebox, they carry full team member rights, including Daily Stand-up attendance. If they're on the team, they're in the meeting.
