The correct answer is A – Conduct frequent demos and obtain feedback from users throughout the development of the next release. Agile is feedback-driven. Regular demonstrations (e.g., sprint reviews) help gather customer input to continuously enhance the product and optimize value.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Frequent demonstrations and validation with stakeholders ensure that teams deliver value continuously and adapt the product based on real-time feedback.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.2 – Feedback and Product Review)
Mike Griffiths notes:
“Customer feedback loops are vital to agile. Demos provide a mechanism for validating delivered functionality, identifying improvement opportunities, and maximizing product value.”
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 3 – Value-Driven Delivery)
Incorrect options:
B contradicts continuous delivery and customer collaboration.
