Question 55
While reading your Agile team’s high-level project plan, you notice there are three scheduled pre-mortems. When you ask your leader to define a pre-mortem, what is the explanation?
- A It is a session that lists which team members need to be added to the team.
- B It is a session that tells why the project will be a huge success.
- C It is a session that envisions possible failures and how to mitigate them.
- D It’s a session that identifies the business requirements.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A pre-mortem is a session where all stakeholders meet to come up with a list of potential points of failure and figure out how to mitigate them. Since the team will offer failure avoidance resolutions, the business owner's participation is a must because they’ll need to agree with the team’s ideas.The other responses are incorrect. Since business requirements are identified before a pre-mortem, they are the source of the discussion; by the time a pre-mortem occurs, all team members have been identified; at the point of conducting a pre-mortem, it’s unlikely the team would envision everything working as planned.Discussion
