Free PMI-ACP Exam Sample Question 08 (Crystal Family of Agile Methods) 


Correct Answer: C

Crystal comes from Alistair Cockburn’s characterization of projects along the two dimensions of “size” (meaning the size of the project team) and “criticality” (meaning the damage that will be caused if the developed product or system fails).
