Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 72 discussion

D - Correct - If the first part of the question was omitted (“An organization highly values security.”), then I would’ve gone with B. But since security is a highly valued non-functional requirement, obtaining stakeholder feedback is important. In addition, the sprint review comes immediately before the sprint retrospective. Therefore, the development team can obtain feedback during the sprint review and analyze that feedback in the sprint retrospective. From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 61: “Learning takes place by experimenting, delivering small increments of value, and getting feedback on what has been accomplished thus far.”

A. Influence the customer: This risks bypassing internal security procedures and could be misconstrued as trying to pressure the customer into a potentially insecure solution. B. Mention the idea at the next retrospective: Retrospectives typically focus on improving past processes, and this might not be the right forum to propose significant changes potentially impacting security protocols. C. Show the customer how much time and money would be saved: Focusing solely on cost benefits without fully addressing security implications could undermine the organization's security posture and raise concerns about prioritizing money over safety.

I'd go with option D. It seems more fitting because the idea requires discussion with stakeholders. Option B, the sprint retrospective, is meant for reflecting on the past sprint according to definitions, not necessarily for discussing new feature ideas or solutions. Additionally, there's no guarantee that stakeholders will participate in the retrospective meeting.

Levar a descoberta para a retrospectiva e tomar a decisão com a equipa. Alternativa D leva o membro a tomar decisão sozinho, sem analizar e sem ter o feedback da equipa.

Sprint retrospectives should only be attended by the people who executed on work in the sprint. That includes: ‍ The sprint leader: Scrum Master, or Product Owner. ‍ People who executed on the work: Engineers, Developers, and Designers.

D = correct (in my opinion). Security requirements that must never be a part of DoD or DoR, including items considered security features, can be excluded from DoD or DoR. Simply because such requirements are not recurring and are easily implemented as separate features and eventually stories. A few examples include features such as User authentication, SSO, login page, etc. So this is not about DoD (B), this is about additional / less effort which must be approved by the Stakeholders (D).

Vote B

Option B. Retrospectives are regular meetings where the team reflects on their work, identifies areas for improvement, and determines how to adapt and adjust their process for the next iteration. This is an appropriate forum to discuss any issues or ideas, and the team can collectively decide on the best approach to balance security concerns with time and cost savings. It's important to prioritize open communication and collaboration within the team and involve the customer and stakeholders as needed.

B is correct. Anything related to security is directly linked to Definition of Done. And the best time to discuss improvements in DOD or processes is the retrospective. The team needs to first hear out the solution and analyze it before taking it to the stakeholders.

i vote B

I think the answer is B

My preferred answer is D. Which stakeholders are allowed to participate in retrospectives?

B should be

C: Show the customer the increased return of investment (value) and let them decide what to do.

Agile Ceremonies The four scrum ceremonies are: Sprint Planning. Daily Scrum. Sprint Review. Sprint Retrospective. Answer is B. Based on the answers provided I think the only time to talk about this improvement is during the Retrospective Meeting

Why not D? retrospective is for inspecting the current sprint and adapting changes for the next sprint. It is NOT a ceremony to table ideas/initiative especially those related to EEF.

B is the most logical way to present the idea, bcz the other options are not aligned with the question. If we consider D, we dont know which ceremony the answer means and in the exam you are not allowed to figure out !
