Your organization wants to become better at responding to market changes and new opportunities that may arise.
Which measure is LEAST helpful in understanding how to improve its ability to respond? (choose the best answer)
- A . Revenue per employee
- B . Technical Debt
- C . Velocity
- D . Cycle time
- E . On product index
A
Explanation:
Revenue per Employee will not help you understand how you can be more responsive. An on-product index is the measure of time a team spends working on the product. This KPI measures the efficiency of how a team is run and how much they’re contributing to a product’s growth.
Your department has several teams working on different products at the same time.
Which of the following would be the best approach if managers want to understand the status of each team? (choose the best answer)
- A . Ask the teams to collaborate and develop a common way to share their goals and achievements toward their goals for each planning period.
- B . Have a common status reporting tool that each team will fill out and can be shared with the managers.
- C . Have the teams created a comprehensive project plan and track their work against the plan.
- D . Have the teams standardize their estimation practices across all teams to make it easier to compare
the performance of each team.
A
Explanation:
Agile teams are structured and empowered by the organization to organize and manage their own work. The teams are responsible for applying the most appropriate practices to provide transparency in order to optimize value and control risk.
You are planning to release a large product update several months from now. Because the release will contain many product changes (new features, enhancements, and fixes), a large amount of effort will be
needed from the team. During beta testing of the latest increment, you learn that one of the anticipated features does not meet the needs of the users and is rarely used.
Which of the following is the best response? (choose the best answer)
- A . Disregard the feedback as beta testing is not a good reflection of the broader market.
- B . Add a more valuable feature to the release.
- C . Remove the feature from the increment and release the other features and changes earlier.
- D . Push the release to a later date until you are able to improve the feature.
C
Explanation:
Time-to-Market (T2M). Reducing the number of features in a product release can dramatically improve T2M; the smallest release possible is one that delivers at least some incremental improvement in value to some subset of the customers/users of the product. Many organizations also focus on removing non value-added activities from the product development and delivery process to improve their T2M.
A company wants to hire you to lead their agile transformation. They have learned about the benefits of being agile but want to know how to measure the success of the initiative.
What advice would you provide? (choose the best answer)
- A . The number of projects delivered on-time, on-budget, and on-scope will increase.
- B . The improvement in customer outcomes.
- C . All of the above.
- D . The average team velocity will continuously improve.
- E . The level of agility is proportionate to the number of teams doing Scrum.
B
Explanation:
Successful agile transformation increases business value, which can be measured by customer happiness
Which best describes testing responsibilities in the Developers? (choose the best two answers)
- A . Everyone in the Developers is responsible for the quality of the product.
- B . Ensuring all test cases created at Sprint Planning have been passed
- C . Sub-team formations (or hierarchies) in the Scrum Team are not allowed.
- D . Increments must be approved by the Tester before it can be deemed releasable
- E . There should be a testing phase at the end of each Sprint
A,C
Explanation:
Sub-team formations (or hierarchies) in the Scrum Team is not allowed. Sub-Teams such as testing teams or operation teams are not allowed to be formed in the Scrum Team. Titles are not assigned to the developers within the Scrum Team members, regardless of the type of work they perform. Scrum Team collectively decides on the Scrum Length.
Scrum Team delivers a “Done” product every Sprint to ensure a potentially useful version of a working product is always available. However, it is up to the Product Owner to “Release” it.
The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality
measures required for the product.
The specific skills needed by the Developers are often broad and will vary with the domain of work.
However, the Developers are always accountable for:
● Creating a plan for the Sprint, the Sprint Backlog;
● Instilling quality by adhering to a Definition of Done;
● Adapting their plan each day toward the Sprint Goal; and,
● Holding each other accountable as professionals.
Team A has a velocity of 50 with a Product Backlog of 140 points ordered by business value as perceived by stakeholders.
Delivery is expected in 6 Sprints. Will this project deliver the anticipated impact? (choose the best answer)
- A . We do not know
- B . Yes
- C . No
A
Explanation:
None of the information provided gives you any insight into the value the product delivers.
True or False: When many agile teams are working on different products, they should create a common status reporting dashboard of work performed in order for management to understand the status of each team.
- A . False
- B . True
A
Explanation:
Understanding progress against goals provides the best insight into a team’s progress, not arbitrary measures like work performed or performance against a schedule. The teams could work together to develop a common way to share their goals and what they achieve in each planning period against those goals.
For which type of problem domain is an empirical approach most helpful? (choose the best answer)
- A . Complex problems, in which the relationship between cause and effect are only understandable with experience.
- B . Complicated problems, in which the relationship between cause and effect can be understood through some analysis.
- C . Simple problems, in which the relationship between cause and effect is known.
- D . Chaotic problems, in which the relationship between cause and effect is not clear.
A
Explanation:
See Cynefin Framework (five decision-making contexts). Scrum is a complex context. The complex domain represents the "unknown unknowns". Cause and effect can only be deduced in retrospect, and there are no right answers. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known.
Management has asked you for advice on which product to fund. Each product is focusing on different markets. Given the following information: -Product A has very high user satisfaction scores and high market share. -Product B has low user satisfaction scores, low market share, but is in a growing market in which no other competitor has significant market share.
Which product would you suggest funding? (choose the best answer)
- A . Product B
- B . Product A
A
Explanation:
Product A’s customers are well-satisfied; additional features may actually lead to lower satisfaction. You should fund the Product with the greatest opportunity to close the customer’s gap between current and desired outcomes.
