The Business Ambassador, Business Analyst and Business Advisor roles are all grouped together in the DSDM role model under which category of interest?
AManagement interest
BProcess interest
CBusiness interest
DSolution Development interest
Answer: C. DSDM groups project roles into four interest categories: Business, Solution Development, Management and Process. Business Ambassador, Business Analyst and Business Advisor all sit within the Business interest category because their primary concern is ensuring the solution meets genuine business need.

During a facilitated requirements workshop, the Business Ambassador and a Solution Developer disagree about whether a requirement should be classified as Must Have or Should Have using MoSCoW. Per DSDM, who is normally empowered to make this day-to-day business prioritisation call?
AThe DSDM Coach
BThe Business Ambassador
CThe Technical Coordinator
DThe Solution Developer
Answer: B. The Business Ambassador is embedded in the solution development team specifically to provide timely, empowered business input, including MoSCoW prioritisation decisions, so the team is not blocked awaiting escalation to more senior roles.

On smaller DSDM projects, the Business Analyst role is most commonly combined with which other role, reflecting significant overlap in ensuring business requirements are understood, documented and correctly reflected in the solution?
ABusiness Ambassador
BDSDM Coach
CTechnical Coordinator
DBusiness Sponsor
Answer: A. Because both the Business Analyst and Business Ambassador focus on ensuring the solution genuinely meets business need, DSDM allows these two roles to be combined in one individual on smaller projects, provided that person has sufficient time and standing to fulfil both sets of responsibilities.

4/5 · Roles, Responsibilities and Stakeholders
A stakeholder asks why the Business Analyst role is classified among the roles representing business interests, even though the person performing it spends most of each timebox working directly alongside the Solution Developers and Solution Tester. Which explanation best reflects how the AgileBA Handbook describes this role's relationships?
AThe Business Analyst is the day-to-day bridge between the business and solution development interests, translating and validating requirements so both sides share a common understanding, which naturally means close daily contact with developers and testers.
BDSDM merges the Business Analyst and Business Ambassador into a single mandatory combined role on every project, so the two titles are functionally interchangeable.
CThe Business Analyst formally reports to the Technical Coordinator, so despite the label it is, in practice, a solution development role rather than a business role.
DThe Business Analyst's sole responsibility is producing test scripts for the Solution Tester, which is why daily contact with the development team is required.
Answer: A. The Business Analyst (often the person fulfilling the 'Agile BA' role) is deliberately positioned to bridge business and solution development interests, which is why the role appears under 'business interests' yet requires constant collaboration with Solution Developers, Solution Testers and the Technical Coordinator to keep requirements correctly understood on both sides.

5/5 · Roles, Responsibilities and Stakeholders · hard
Two Business Ambassadors on a DSDM project disagree over the relative MoSCoW priority of two competing Must Have requirements. The Business Visionary tries to broker agreement within the timebox but cannot, and the disagreement threatens the viability of the business case. Whose decision should ultimately settle the matter according to the Handbook?
AThe Business Sponsor
BThe Solution Tester
CThe Team Leader
DThe Technical Coordinator
Answer: A. The Business Visionary is expected to manage day-to-day requirement and priority questions, but where a conflict cannot be resolved and puts the business case at risk, escalation goes to the Business Sponsor as the role with ultimate accountability and authority. This tests the layered escalation structure rather than a single flat pool of business decision-makers.
