Pearson AgilePM-Foundation New Attempt

Action Phase: Breaking change actions into smaller, manageable tasks happens during the Action step, where detailed plans are implemented. This ensures smoother execution and tracking of progress.

Other Options:

Discovery: Focuses on understanding the current situation.

Ideas: Involves generating potential solutions.

Prioritization: Helps decide which tasks or changes to focus on.

In DSDM, it is true that one DSDM role does not necessarily mean one person. This allows for flexibility in assigning roles based on the project’s needs and the individuals’ skills and capacities. It is possible for one person to hold multiple roles or for a role to be shared among several people, depending on what is most effective for the project.

The Agile Manifesto explicitly values “individuals and interactions over processes and tools.” AgilePM fully aligns with this principle. While processes, tools, documentation, and contracts are important and often necessary (especially for governance, compliance, and clarity), they should not take precedence over effective collaboration, empowered teams, and rapid feedback. AgilePM’s practices—facilitated workshops, daily coordination, frequent reviews, and active business involvement—are designed to maximize human interaction to reduce waste, accelerate understanding, and improve quality. Even in regulated or contractual contexts, AgilePM recommends shaping processes and agreements to enable collaboration (e.g., clear roles, decision latency reduction, acceptance criteria, and incremental validation) rather than letting procedures dominate. Therefore, no listed circumstance justifies prioritizing processes and tools over individuals and interactions. The right choice is D. None of the above.

The missing word in the sentence is “Champion”. The Business Sponsor is known as the project Champion because they are committed to the solution and the delivery approach34. This role is crucial as it provides the strategic direction and controls the funding/budget for the project1.
