Question 82
Before, during and after iterations, it is of the utmost importance to include numerous touchpoints with stakeholders. Why is this so important?
- A So the direction of the development team can be presented to stakeholders.

- C So the team’s value can be demonstrated with multiple meetings.
- D To identify the possibility of risks and issues and to be notified of change requests.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The agile methodology calls for multiple touchpoints with stakeholders. The team and the stakeholders need to meet frequently to ensure that the team hears stakeholders’ change requests and identifies potential issues and risks. It is not part of the agile methodology to include telling stakeholders the development team’s direction. Value is not demonstrated by holding multiple meetings. The incorporation of stakeholders’ values and ideas assures that nothing is planned without their support. Stakeholders want to see the team creating results – this is what they want and value in a project, not just being told everyone on the team is working hard.Discussion
