PMI-ACP Exam - Question 19


The product owner of an agile project is frustrated because the team is unable to deliver as many features as expected. The product owner asks the team to reduce test-automation levels, since the quality assurance team will test the product at project completion. The product owner expects that more features will be delivered in each iteration using this approach.

What should the agile practitioner do?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

When faced with a significant decision that could impact the project's quality and delivery, the agile practitioner should seek input from key stakeholders and the client. This inclusive approach ensures that all parties with a vested interest in the project's success are consulted. Stakeholders and the client can provide valuable feedback and help ensure that the correct approach is being utilized, balancing the need for feature delivery with maintaining quality. Reducing test automation without proper consultation could lead to increased costs and issues later in the project, undermining the project’s success.

D is the correct one for me. The team should be cross-functional team. If we don't do Automation test like PO suggested, the cost for fixing the bug at the end of project will very high. it will become a kind of waterfall model.

Before making any decisions, the Agile practitioner should ask the opinion of key stakeholders and the client to ensure that the correct approach is being used. Stakeholders and the client have a vested interest in the quality of the product and can provide valuable feedback on the proposed approach. Based on the feedback received, the Agile practitioner can work with the team and product owner to find a solution that ensures the product's quality while delivering value to the customer in each iteration.

C. Test will still be done by the team, only the automated ones will be done by the QA team. The idea is to eliminate wasting time by doing it twice.
