Document Content and Description Below

Question Product Management has content authority for the Program Backlog including: The Vision, the Roadmap, driving the PI Objectives, and what else? · Managing risk, helping to ensure value de... livery, and driving continuous improvement · Working with business stakeholders and Solution and System Architects to implement holistic technology across Value Streams · Accepting Stories and team increments · Establishing Features and benefit hypotheses What is included in the Inspect and Adapt agenda? · PI Objectives · ROAMing risks · Quantitative and qualitative measurement · Management review What is one way Kanbans are used in SAFe? · To manage runway cadence · To manage nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) in the backlog · To manage queue length · To manage Program Increment (PI) Objectives How do Product Owners contribute to the Vision? · By continuously exploring emerging markets · By establishing Strategic Themes · By contributing to the portfolio canvas · By communicating emerging requirements and opportunities What is the importance of the definition of done? · It provides a way for Scrum Masters to enforce quality · It creates standardized work between all Agile Teams · It prioritizes the work of testers on the team · It creates a clear understanding of when items are complete Question Which Agile Team event supports relentless improvement? · Iteration Retrospective · Backlog refinement · Iteration Planning · Iteration Review A Product Manager is working for an insurance company and is responsible for the internal systems used for managing claims. This is an example of what kind of Value Stream? · Development Value Stream · Operational Value Stream · Customer journey Value Stream · Claims processing Value Stream Which function is responsible for ensuring that the Agile Release Train has the content needed to successfully engage in Program Increment Planning? · Release Train Engineer · Lean-Agile Center of Excellence · Product Owner · Product Management What is the purpose of Iteration Goals? · To align the team members and the Product Owner (PO) to the mission · To ensure the team accomplishes all the committed Stories each Iteration · To provide the baseline required for measuring the team's performance · To hold the team accountable to their goal An Agile Release Train (ART) has implemented a completely automated Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline that can deploy code as it is checked into the source-code repository. How might a Product Owner (PO) adjust team events to take advantage of this capability and promote the flow of value? · Identify Stories that are cleared for automatic delivery during Iteration Planning · Release Stories that have been included in the team demo · Review and accept Stories as they are completed · Implement Feature toggles to control which Stories are released Question 1. Which statement describes the Scaled Agile Framework? It synchronizes alignment, collaboration, and delivery for large numbers of teams It provides strict guidelines for all daily activities It scales Scrum to multiple Agile Teams It provides guidelines for Project Managers 2. The customer is asking for a forecast for when a specific Feature will be available for release at the beginning of the next fiscal year. Where could the Product Manager find this information? Development Manager Program Backlog System Architecture Designs Roadmap 3. Kanbans are the primary mechanism to achieve SAFe Principle #6, which includes visualizing and limiting Work-in-Process, reducing batch sizes, and what else? Managing runway cadence Managing queue length Managing non-functional requirements in the backlog Managing PI Objectives 4. Epic Owners collaborate with which two other roles in a typical Portfolio Kanban system? (Choose two.) Release Train Engineer Business Owners System and Solution Architect/Engineering Scrum Masters Product Owners 5. Predictable incremental delivery occurs based on which two practices? (Choose two.) Cadence Solution Context Architecture Governance Solution Intent Synchronization 6. Iteration Goals serve what purpose? To define the what, the how, and the how much To identify non-functional requirements To set preliminary PI Objectives To align team members to a common purpose 7. What are three outputs of Synthesis? (Choose three.) Program Roadmap Strategic Themes Portfolio Kanban Program Backlog Iteration Goals Vision 8. What is one non-Lean behavior that organizations demonstrate when prioritizing? Reducing the duration will decrease the Cost of Delay Accepting that a high return on investment (ROI) is always more important than a Feature with a low ROI Cost of Delay is directly related to the size of the queueCost of Delay is the same as WIP 9. The team is struggling to agree on the story point sizing of a new user story. The Product Owner was previously a related domain expert and feels the team is wasting time. What should she do? Make the team aware of her expertise and decide the size for them Suggest the team stop the sizing of the user story and add it to the next Iteration as is Instruct the Scrum Master to resize the story Continue to support the team's decision on sizing 10. Which two types of items are maintained in the Team Backlog? (Choose two.) Epic Enablers PI Objectives User Stories Enabler Stories Business Epics Question Please answer the following questions: 1) Enabler Epics are used to advance what in order to support upcoming Business Epics? · Value Stream(s) · The Architectural Runway · The Program Backlog · Compliance 2) When tracking team progress, what can a Kanban board show the team? · Which team member is behind in their work · How many defects the team is creating · Where the team has too much work-in-process (WIP) · A burndown chart of the work completed in the Iteration 3) When should innovation activities be conducted by teams on the Agile Release Train? · Only when innovation Stories rise to the top of the backlog · Throughout the Program Increment · At a consistent time each day during the Iteration · Only during the Innovation and Planning Iteration 4) Which statement is true about estimating and forecasting the Portfolio Backlog? · Refinement is necessary when estimating the effort needed to implement an Epic · WSJF is used to assign Epics to Value Streams · Epic forecasting is based on the cost estimate · Feature estimates are rolled up into Epic estimates 5) Which principle of the Agile Manifesto is most aligned with conducting a System Demo? · Working software is the primary measure of progress · The best way to convey information is a face-to-face conversation · Welcome changing requirements, even late in development · At regular intervals the team reflects on how to become more effective 6) In the first step of SAFe's Continuous Delivery Pipeline, Product Owners and Managers do what activity? · Negotiate Supplier contracts to ensure projected capacity requirements are met · Hypothesize on what would create value to their Customers · Ensure the architecture team has sufficient capacity · Prioritize the backlog 7) What is the relationship between a Product Owner (PO) and Product Management (PM)? · The PO contributes to the Program Backlog; PM establishes Story acceptance criteria · The PO and PM spend equal amounts of time on roadmaps and backlogs · The PO is team-oriented; PM is market-oriented · The PO and PM collaborate to determine the architectural runway, pricing, and licensing 8) The goal is a fast delivery process, ideally requiring little manual effort. What is one capability used to achieve this? · Soft launches· Nonfunctional requirements · Quiet releases · Feature toggles 9) Which role is primarily responsible for working with business teams? · Release Train Engineer (RTE) · Product Management (PM) · Enterprise Architect · Product Owner (PO) 10) How do Business Owners quantify the value of PI Objectives? · By totaling the Epic budget · By assigning Story points · By assigning business value - By estimating return on investment Question Hi I need help answering these questions: Product Management works with which other role to define and maintain nonfunctional requirements? · Lean UX · System and Solution Architect/Engineering · System Team · Portfolio Managers What are two strategies a Product Owner can use during Program Increment Planning to minimize dependencies? (Choose two.)You have reached the max number of allowed answers · Change the definition of done · Move teams to another Agile Release Train · Split Stories to eliminate dependencies · Reprioritize Epics · Move Stories on their team's backlog to another team What are the minimum requirements for a Feature? · Benefit hypothesis, acceptance criteria, and priority · Acceptance criteria, data models, and priority · Whatever the Agile Release Train determines is required · Name, benefit hypothesis, and acceptance criteria In the SAFe work item hierarchy, Features are decomposed into what? · Capabilities · Tasks · Spikes · Stories What two types of dependencies are commonly visualized on the program board?
