B is correct. It's important to note that stand up meetings can be conducted via web
conferencing for teams that are not co-located, so C is not correct. D is not correct
because overtime is not generally used in Agile projects. A is not correct unless you
, have a really energetic scrum master, but even then it would be just a side benefit!

#5 Which of the following is an example of a practice that provides early feedback
to the developers?
a. User acceptance testing
b. Continuous integration
c. Stand-up meetings
d. Changing requirements
B is correct. When a developer checks in code and it is immediately integrated with the
existing code, they receive fast feedback on the quality and any interface issues with
their newly released code. A is too late in the process. C doesn't provide early feedback
(unit tests and code reviews do that). D is not correct because changing requirements
do not necessarily reflect on the work the developer has done because sometimes the
business needs change.

b. Stop all planned development and implement the change for the customer
c. Write a defect report and address the issue when the backlog has been cleared
d. Update the requirements document and require customer sign-off before
implementing
any changes
A is the correct thing to do. B is not possible unless the change is trivial or it might de-
rail all other planned work for the current iteration. C is not correct because the purpose
of early and frequent feedback is to incorporate changes as the project progresses. D is
not correct because using formal requirements documents is not encouraged in Agile
projects.
