Question 180

Michael is testing Elizabeth’s development work and he has found a few issues. Michael asks Elizabeth to join him testing at his desk to show her the issues he has found, along with their Business Analyst, William. They discover two unclear requirements that they clarify together, and Elizabeth immediately gets started fixing the problems. Michael and Elizabeth are primarily exhibiting the value(s) of
  • A Both individuals and interactions over processes and tools and working software over comprehensive documentation
  • B Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  • C Responding to change over following a plan
  • D Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The team was specifically spending time as individuals rather than using a tool to send a message about the issue and focused on getting things working immediately instead of adding documentation for what was missing. This issue has nothing to do with the customer or contract. Although the requirements clarified are a change, this is not as good an answer choice as the correct one. The value of individuals and interactions over processes and tools is a part of this, but working software over comprehensive documentation is the best choice.
