The DSDM principle 'Never compromise quality' means that, within a timebox, which of the following applies?
AQuality assurance is exclusively the responsibility of the Solution Tester and occurs only during the Deployment phase.
BAcceptance criteria are defined only once development is complete, so they exactly reflect what was actually built.
CThe level of quality to be delivered is agreed up front, and testing is integrated throughout the lifecycle rather than left until the end.
DQuality can be reduced if necessary in order to hit a hard deadline, since scope is fixed.

BTo replace timeboxing as the primary planning technique used during Evolutionary Development.

5/5 · Agile Fundamentals and the Agile BA Role
A Business Analyst finalises MoSCoW priorities in the Prioritised Requirements List (PRL) during Foundations, then tells the team that, because the firm foundations principle now applies, these priorities are locked for the rest of the project and cannot be revisited under any circumstances. Which statement most accurately challenges this claim?
AThe claim is incorrect, but only because DSDM does not use a Prioritised Requirements List at all — it instead uses a Product Backlog that is reprioritised every Sprint, exactly as in Scrum.
BThe claim is correct: firm foundations means the PRL, once agreed, becomes a fixed project baseline that must never be reopened, which is precisely what distinguishes DSDM from Scrum, where the Product Backlog is reprioritised every Sprint.
CThe claim is incorrect: firm foundations means priorities are understood well enough to begin development with confidence, but the Handbook expects continued review and re-prioritisation of the PRL as understanding grows during Evolutionary Development, with any changes made visible.
DThe claim is correct, provided the Business Sponsor personally re-signs the Business Case; otherwise the PRL may be changed freely at any time without reference to any other role.
