Full set: 193 questions

Answer options

A: It provides a demo of the product to keep everyone up to date.

B: It allows the stakeholders to see how well the team is working together.

C: It allows the team to reassess the backlog to meet their needs.

D: It provides an opportunity for the team to help itself stay in sync. Correct answer

Correct Answer:

D. It provides an opportunity for the team to help itself stay in sync.

Explanation

The coordination (daily) meeting’s explicit purpose in Disciplined Agile is to let team members quickly share progress, surface blockers, and plan the next 24 hours so that everyone remains synchronized; demos and backlog work occur in separate events.

Why Incorrect

A – The Product Demo/Review, not the coordination meeting, is used to show completed work. B – Stakeholder observation happens in the Review; daily coordination is internal to the team. C – Backlog refinement is a separate, on-going activity, not the aim of this meeting.
