Options

• BAgree with the statement in the PAQ and keep a close watch on the web
• COrganize a training workshop to brief all project-level and Solution
• DAccept that the web developers are experts in their field and will be

• A
  26% (8)
• B
  13% (4)
• C
  55% (17)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Option C is correct because DSDM requires that all project members genuinely understand and accept the approach before the project begins - training is the prescribed remedy when this criterion cannot be met, ensuring the team can work collaboratively within the framework.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because replacing competent developers is wasteful and disproportionate; DSDM favors empowering the existing team, not discarding domain expertise.
• B is wrong because it involves falsifying the PAQ - agreeing to a statement you cannot honestly support undermines the entire purpose of the assessment and hides a real risk.
• D is wrong because technical expertise does not substitute for DSDM knowledge; being a skilled developer is irrelevant if you don't understand or accept the Agile ways of working the team depends on.

Memory tip: In DSDM, the PAQ is a honesty check, not a rubber stamp - when a criterion fails, you fix the gap (train), you don't hide the gap (lie) or nuke the team (replace). Think: "Train before you complain to the PAQ."
