Answer the following questions about the acceptance criteria within the project.
Decide whether the approach to setting and using acceptance criteria has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.
At the beginning of Solution Development Timebox A, the Timebox is being
planned in detail. Although Foundations was conducted at a high level, the
Prioritised Requirements List was baselined. Now the Solution Development
Team is setting detailed acceptance criteria against each requirement.
Is this an appropriate approach to setting detailed acceptance criteria?
Which 2 actions should the Workshop Facilitator take when preparing for the workshop?
The project is now in the second week of Timebox C. This is the final Timebox of Project Increment 1 and is scheduled to take one month. The plan is to open
Hoy Hall to the public at the end of this Increment. A Must Have requirement of Timebox C is the implementation of a hotel reservation system.
At the Daily Stand-up, the Software Developer working on the reservation system reported that the framework for the system is now complete and ready for content.
However, this work cannot progress further due to a disagreement over the content. The Marketing Director insists the system is to hold professional photos and video
tours of the facilities and grounds. These require a lot of storage space and regular updates. The IT Operations Manager insists the system is to take less than 5GB of
storage space on the company server and require minimal maintenance.
The Team Leader has arranged a Facilitated Workshop to discuss the content and agree the way forward.
Remember to limit your answers to the number of selections requested in each question.
