Actual exam question from PMI's PMI-ACP

Question #: 19

What should the agile practitioner do?

A. Ask the opinion of key stakeholders and the client to ensure the correct approach is being used
B. Work with the team to use this approach, and request a quality assurance iteration after every three iterations

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.

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.

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.
