Question 240
An organization delivering with an adaptive/agile approach discovers: In a sustainable infrastructure expansion, the team must distinguish agreed work from new requests before committing capacity. A review finds: A contractor begins installation without a shared product boundary or exclusions with the property owner. Which indicator would best confirm a successful outcome rather than activity alone?
Explanation
Correct Answer
“Owner and contractor approve an unambiguous scope baseline and decision authority.” is meaningful evidence for “In a sustainable infrastructure expansion, the team must distinguish agreed work from new requests before committing capacity; A review finds: A contractor begins installation without a shared product boundary or exclusions with the property owner” because it demonstrates the practical outcome of “Facilitate scope definition including deliverables, exclusions, assumptions, and acceptance measures.” instead of merely recording that work took place.
Incorrect Answers
“Approved requirements and backlog acceptance checks show what language coverage is committed.” could measure performance for “A customer expects multilingual service while the team's backlog only specifies English screens.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “In a sustainable infrastructure expansion, the team must distinguish agreed work from new requests before committing capacity; A review finds: A contractor begins installation without a shared product boundary or exclusions with the property owner” has been resolved through “Facilitate scope definition including deliverables, exclusions, assumptions, and acceptance measures.”.
“Stakeholders see ordered items, acceptance criteria, and explicit release choices.” could measure performance for “An agile product team treats every idea in a brainstorming session as immediately committed scope.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “In a sustainable infrastructure expansion, the team must distinguish agreed work from new requests before committing capacity; A review finds: A contractor begins installation without a shared product boundary or exclusions with the property owner” has been resolved through “Facilitate scope definition including deliverables, exclusions, assumptions, and acceptance measures.”.
“Sampled datasets meet documented completeness, integrity, and signoff thresholds.” could measure performance for “A regional data migration proceeds with no agreed definition of what a completed dataset means.”, yet it is not direct evidence that “In a sustainable infrastructure expansion, the team must distinguish agreed work from new requests before committing capacity; A review finds: A contractor begins installation without a shared product boundary or exclusions with the property owner” has been resolved through “Facilitate scope definition including deliverables, exclusions, assumptions, and acceptance measures.”.
