-
Which DSDM phase is a short, formal starting point that defines the project as a candidate for development?
- A Foundations
- B Pre-Project ✓
- C Post-Project
- D Feasibility
Answer: Pre-Project ensures only the right projects are started and that they are set up correctly, producing the Terms of Reference for the work.
-
What is the primary purpose of the Feasibility phase in DSDM?
- A To establish whether the proposed project is likely to be feasible from a technical and business perspective and is worth investing in further ✓
- B To carry out detailed iterative development of all features
- C To formally close the project and review benefits
- D To deliver the final solution into operational use
Answer: Feasibility assesses, at a high level, whether the project is technically feasible and cost-effective enough to justify proceeding to Foundations.
-
During which phase are the business, solution, management and process foundations for the project established?
- A Foundations ✓
- B Feasibility
- C Evolutionary Development
- D Deployment
Answer: The Foundations phase establishes a firm but flexible baseline for the business rationale, the solution at a high level, and how the project will be managed and delivered.
-
In the DSDM lifecycle, where does the bulk of iterative and incremental building of the solution take place?
- A Post-Project
- B Pre-Project
- C Foundations
- D Evolutionary Development ✓
Answer: Evolutionary Development iteratively builds and tests the solution within timeboxes, using business feedback to evolve it towards what is genuinely needed.
-
What is the main objective of the Deployment phase?
- A To define the Terms of Reference
- B To run the daily stand-up meetings
- C To assess high-level technical feasibility
- D To bring a baseline of the evolving solution into operational use ✓
Answer: Deployment takes a tested increment of the solution and releases it into the live business environment, after which value can be realised.
-
The Post-Project phase in DSDM is primarily concerned with what?
- A Selecting the development team
- B Producing the Feasibility Assessment
- C Building the next increment of the solution
- D Checking whether the expected business benefits have actually been achieved after the solution is in use ✓
Answer: Post-Project takes place after the last deployment and reviews how well the anticipated business benefits have been realised in operational use.
