Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product, and prioritization is key to that responsibility. Even though losing a short-term business opportunity may seem detrimental, the Product Owner's long-term focus is more in line with the Agile principle of delivering sustainable value. Supporting the Product Owner's prioritization fosters respect for the role and the overall Agile process.

I heard the exam proctors are cross-functional too - they'll be watching you like a hawk to make sure you don't try any funny business!

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm going with B, because who doesn't love delivering value to users? That's the dream, right?

This is a tricky one, but I think D is the best answer. Stepping out of your comfort zone is kind of the whole point of these teams.

I agree, C is the correct answer. Cross-functional teams are the opposite of technical specialization, that's just common sense.

Hmm, C seems like the odd one out here. Cross-functional teams are all about broadening your skills, not deep specialization.
