Question

An agile team has been given a complex project with a basic set of requirements which need further elaboration and review. How should the team iteratively build out the backlog of requirements with the stakeholders?

Options

  • AConduct a requirements gathering workshop.
  • BDeliver the basic requirements iteratively.
  • CHave the product owner fill out the requirements backlog.
  • DHave the stakeholders fill out the backlog before starting the project.

Explanation

A requirements gathering workshop (such as a joint application design session or story mapping workshop) brings stakeholders and the team together to collaboratively elaborate, refine, and prioritize requirements. Option A is correct because it is a structured, collaborative technique that aligns with agile's emphasis on stakeholder engagement and iterative refinement. Option B (deliver basic requirements iteratively) misreads the question — the issue is elaborating requirements, not delivering them. Option C (product owner fills out the backlog alone) excludes stakeholders and loses valuable input. Option D (stakeholders fill out the backlog before the project starts) is a waterfall-style approach that front-loads all requirement definition rather than allowing it to emerge iteratively.
