D is the Answer 6.4.1 Being on time and hitting deadlines Delivering early realization of benefits, and these can be planned around Helping with planning (e.g. dependencies within a project or between projects, capacity and resources at the portfolio and programme level) Giving confidence (e.g. with progress) There may be no choice (e.g. external market forces or regulatory considerations) Reducing the likelihood of cost overruns (assuming that resources are fixed) **Improving reputation (e.g. with the customer)**

A. It reduces testing in order to meet deadlines. The statement about the target 'be on time and hit deadlines' for flexible delivery is that it reduces testing in order to meet deadlines. This target is a key principle of agile development, which emphasizes the importance of delivering working software on time and responding to changing requirements. In order to meet deadlines, some teams may reduce the amount of testing that is performed on the software. While this can help to speed up the delivery process, it can also increase the risk of defects and other issues that may impact the quality of the software. Setting the project baseline at the correct level and enabling team dynamics to remain the same are not directly related to the target 'be on time and hit deadlines'. These targets are related to other aspects of agile development, such as managing project scope and fostering teamwork.

A is really wrong here. EXAMTOPICS team please correct it. According to famous DION trainin >>> Be on Time and Hit Deadlines: ▪ Early realization of benefits ▪ Helps with planning ▪ Gives confidence ▪ There may be no choice ▪ Reduces the likelihood of cost overruns ▪ Improves reputation

Definitely D... You can't trade in testing for meeting deadline.. That's ridiculous.. You will end up delivering a product full of bugs and thus rendered unfit for use and lots of peoples' reputation is at stake

I'd go for D also. Definitely not A as it is not about reducing testing
