  3. The Marketing Team needs to deliver the advertising within the time and cost tolerances for Stage 4.
  4. The CSME represents the project’s stakeholders and they must ensure that their advertising needs are met.
  1. If new team members are required to deliver the extra advertising they should be added to a later low-level timebox.
  2. The additional social media advertising should be delivered on time by flexing some of the desirable quality criteria.
  3. Teams should respond by self-organizing so they should decide whether team dynamics will be affected by an additional person.
  4. Adding this expert to the Marketing Team will not exceed the maximum number of people who can work collaboratively.

  3. It tailors the theme well because the team should handle changes to the detailed requirements dynamically.
  4. It tailors the theme poorly because the team should self-organize without consulting with the CSME.
  1. The quality management approach should specify the use of ‘check first’ when delivering the payment functionality.
  2. Web&Go should independently test that the delivered payment functionality is working correctly.
  3. The Web&Go developer should initially quality check the correct working of the payment functionality.
  4. The quality management approach should define the definition of ‘ready’ for the payment functionality.

  2. The role could name an appropriate person who is actually performing this particular function.
  3. The function could contain more detailed information on what a warning label should display.
  4. All parts of this user story should remain unchanged because it documents the high-level requirement.
  1. Prioritize the new requirement in order to allow for the swapping of requirements between timeboxes.
  2. Include the additional requirement in the timebox because it is a non-functional requirement.
  3. Ignore the additional requirement for this release because it will require a change to the agreed baseline.
  4. Add the new requirement to the end of the product backlog to deliver it in the timebox, if time permits.
  1. It applies the focus area well because a multi-faceted approach to communication makes it easier and more effective.
