During the Delivery Horizon, a BA notices that a user story's acceptance criteria conflict with a downstream system constraint discovered mid-sprint. What is the BEST immediate action?
Answer: Collaborate with the team and stakeholders to revise the acceptance criteria before the story is coded
Addressing conflicts before coding prevents rework and keeps the sprint on track by aligning acceptance criteria with real constraints.
Which activity BEST describes the BA's role in supporting the development team during active sprints?
Answer: Answering clarifying questions and providing just-in-time elaboration of requirements
Just-in-time elaboration keeps requirements lean while ensuring developers have the detail they need exactly when they need it.
A team uses Definition of Done (DoD) during the Delivery Horizon. What is the PRIMARY purpose of the DoD for a BA?
Answer: To provide a shared checklist confirming when a story meets quality and business value standards
The DoD gives the BA and team a shared, transparent standard that confirms a story is truly complete and delivers value.
When a stakeholder requests a significant scope addition mid-sprint in the Delivery Horizon, the Agile BA should FIRST:
Answer: Assess its value and impact, then channel it through the product backlog for prioritization
Routing new requests through the backlog preserves sprint integrity while ensuring the request is properly evaluated and prioritized.
In the Delivery Horizon, which technique helps a BA confirm that a delivered increment meets stakeholder expectations before a sprint review?
Answer: Conducting an informal story walkthrough or demo with a key stakeholder
An early walkthrough with stakeholders surfaces misalignments before the formal review, reducing surprise and rework.
A BA is refining stories for the next sprint while the current sprint is in flight. This practice is BEST described as:
Answer: Backlog grooming or refinement running in parallel with delivery
Concurrent backlog refinement ensures the team always has a ready queue of well-defined stories without interrupting active delivery.
Which metric is MOST useful for a BA to monitor during the Delivery Horizon to assess whether business value is being delivered consistently?
Answer: Velocity trend combined with stakeholder satisfaction feedback
Velocity trends paired with stakeholder feedback reveal whether the team is delivering both output and genuine business value over time.
