   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   Transparency: Agile principles emphasize transparency and open communication. Keeping stakeholders informed about the project's status, including any issues or complexities, is crucial for maintaining trust and ensuring that everyone is on the same page. Stakeholder Engagement: Even if a senior stakeholder does not want to be engaged daily, it is still important to keep them informed about significant issues that could impact the project's outcome. This helps in managing expectations and allows for timely interventions if needed. Risk Management: By being transparent, the team can also ensure that any potential risks are communicated early, allowing for better risk management and mitigation strategies. Team Confidence: While the team’s confidence in resolving the issues is important, it should not override the need for transparency. Stakeholders should be aware of the current status to make informed decisions.
