Which DSDM role is ultimately accountable for the Business Case, including confirming that adequate funding and justification exist for the project to proceed?
ATechnical Coordinator
BBusiness Ambassador
CBusiness Sponsor
DBusiness Visionary
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The Business Sponsor is the most senior business role on a DSDM project and holds ultimate accountability for the Business Case, ensuring sufficient priority, funding and resources exist and that the project remains viable throughout its life.

Two days before the end of a timebox, the Solution Development Team realises it cannot finish everything originally planned to the agreed level of quality. What should the team do, consistent with DSDM's approach to controlling delivery?
AReduce what is delivered by dropping lower-priority Should Have or Could Have requirements, while still delivering the Must Haves to the agreed quality.
BExtend the timebox deadline to allow all originally planned requirements to be completed, since scope is fixed in DSDM.
CEscalate immediately to bring in extra developers so the original full scope can still be met within the unchanged timebox.
DLower the agreed quality criteria for the Must Have requirements so that all originally planned work can still be finished on time.
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. DSDM fixes time, cost and quality, and flexes scope using MoSCoW. When a timebox is threatened, the team should descope lower-priority Should Have or Could Have requirements while still delivering the Must Haves to the previously agreed quality level, protecting the deadline without compromising quality.

ASolution Tester
BBusiness Sponsor

Who bears ultimate accountability for the continued viability of the Business Case throughout a DSDM project, including ensuring adequate funding remains available?
AThe Business Analyst
BThe Business Visionary
CThe Technical Coordinator
DThe Business Sponsor
Show answer & explanation
D is correct. In DSDM/AgileBA the Business Sponsor is the most senior business role on a project and holds ultimate ownership of the Business Case, ensuring it stays valid and adequately funded throughout the lifecycle. Other roles interact with or support the Business Case but do not carry this ultimate accountability, which matters for clarifying escalation when viability is in doubt.

5/5 · Agile Business Case, Estimating and Benefits · hard
A solution has just gone live at the end of a DSDM project's Deployment stage. The delivery team reports to the Business Sponsor that 'all the benefits identified in the Business Case have now been achieved,' pointing to the fact that every Must Have requirement was delivered and accepted by users. Which statement best reflects how the AgileBA Handbook would treat this claim?
AThe claim cannot be evaluated at all, because DSDM projects have no mechanism for tracking whether benefits are eventually realised once the project closes.
BThe claim is premature: delivering the solution provides the enabler for the intended benefits, but actual benefit realisation is measured afterwards, as the business adopts and uses the solution in live operation, in line with the Benefits Management Strategy.
CThe claim is accurate, because in DSDM, delivering and accepting all Must Have requirements is by definition equivalent to fully realising every benefit in the Business Case.
DThe claim is premature only because Should Have and Could Have requirements were not necessarily delivered; once all requirements of every priority are delivered, benefits are automatically realised.
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. The Agile Business Case distinguishes a delivered solution (a benefit enabler) from the benefits themselves, which are realised only once the business starts using the solution in live operation. This is why a Benefits Management Strategy, and often a nominated benefit owner, is needed to track realisation after Deployment, rather than assuming delivery of requirements equals realised benefit.
