APMG Agile Foundation Practice Exam

Which statement is part of the definition of the DSDM Principle 8 - Demonstrate Control?

1. Late delivery can undermine the very rationale for a project

2. It is vital to ensure transparency of all work being performed by the team

3. Collaboration encourages increased understanding, greater speed and shared ownership.

4. It is important to recognize that projects operate within a changing world

The correct answer is: It is vital to ensure transparency of all work being performed by the team

B is the correct statement that aligns with the definition of the DSDM Principle 8 - Demonstrate Control. This principle emphasizes the importance of transparency in the development process, ensuring that all stakeholders have visibility into the progress and challenges encountered by the team. By fostering transparency, teams can facilitate better decision-making and minimize risks related to misunderstandings and miscommunication. This understanding leads to improved collaboration, as everyone involved is aware of what is being done and can provide input when necessary. Considering the other statements, they touch on important aspects of project management and agile practices but do not specifically encapsulate the essence of the "Demonstrate Control" principle. Late delivery does highlight a project risk but does not directly address the control aspect. Collaboration, while beneficial, describes the process's interpersonal dynamics rather than the control mechanisms needed. Finally, acknowledging the changing world of projects is crucial for adaptability but does not directly relate to the transparent controls that enable effective stakeholder engagement and oversight.
