Answer the following questions about the acceptance criteria within the project.
Decide whether the approach to setting and using acceptance criteria has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.
At the beginning of Solution Development Timebox A, the Timebox is being planned in detail. Although Foundations was conducted at a high level, the Prioritised Requirements List was baselined. Now the Solution Development Team is setting detailed acceptance criteria against each requirement.
Is this an appropriate approach to setting detailed acceptance criteria?

• A.Yes, because acceptance criteria can only be understood at a high level during Foundations and will always need further investigation.
• B.Yes, because the Solution Development Team members will be setting acceptance criteria for the first time during Solution Development Timebox A.
• C.No, because the Solution Development Team should NOT be involved in setting acceptance criteria.
• D.No, because acceptance criteria should be set in detail against each requirement during Foundations.
