Your organization requires all Increments to pass user acceptance testing (UAT) before it is allowed to be released to production.
Is it a good idea to postpone UAT until the end of the project to prevent the Development Team from being disrupted during the Sprints?
No, because the state of the Product Increment won't be transparent and the feedback loop would be too long. Delaying UAT until the end of the project contradicts the Agile principle of receiving frequent feedback to ensure continuous improvement and adaptation. Each Sprint should result in a potentially releasable Increment, meaning that all testing, including UAT, should be done within the Sprint to maintain transparency and ensure that any issues are identified and addressed early. This helps in minimizing risks and enhances the quality of the Product Increment.
A. Testing should be carry out as soon as possible.
