Agile mindset 2Mock test with all answers Correct

Document Content and Description Below

You've been assigned the ScrumMaster of a team of engineers who used some Scrum practices on their last project but ran into problems. In hiring you, the sponsor mentioned that he didn't think they re... ally knew what Scrum was. In your first meeting with your new team, they proudly explain that after they finish each piece of work, they update that step in their 20-page Scrum process document. How do you respond to this information? A. It's very helpful that you're detail-oriented enough to document everything you're doing. B. You don't need that much detail; 5 to 10 pages should be enough and won't slow down the development process. C. Scrum teams only need barely sufficient" documentation; our goal is to deliver value and documentation has less value." D. There's no point in documenting our process until the project is completed; until then, the documentation will just keep changing. - ANSWER C. Scrum teams only need barely sufficient" documentation; our goal is to deliver value and documentation has less value." Explanation The answer to this question is based on Agile Manifesto value 2, working software (systems) over comprehensive documentation. Organizations undertake projects because they need working systems, not documentation. Although documentation can play an important role on a project, our focus should be on delivering value, not documenting the process. The fact that the team is using the Scrum methodology isn't relevant to answering the question.

Keeping the big picture in mind as they do their work. B. Decreasing the time a team member has to wait before getting started on an activity because another team member has to first finish their portion of the work. C. Making decisions regarding their work as early as possible so they have time to implement them. D. Delivering value quickly. - ANSWER C. Making decisions regarding their work as early as possible so they have time to implement them. Explanation Eliminating waste (like delays in handoffs), delivering fast, and keeping the big picture of the project in mind are all core values of lean. Lean also values deferring decisions and commitments until as late as possible; so making decisions early is not likely to be a concern of a team using a lean approach. Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 55 When does your XP (Extreme Programming) team sit down with the customer to discuss what functionality the business would like to see in the next increment of the product? A. Release planning B. Iteration planning C. Daily scrum D. Sprint retrospective - ANSWER B. Iteration planning Explanation In release planning, the customer and team discuss the high-level functionality that should be included in the release. However, for an increment of the product, the discussion of desired functionality takes place during iteration planning. The other two options are Scrum terms, not XP terms; but they wouldn't be correct even if the team was using that terminology. The sprint retrospective is where the development team gathers lessons learned from the previous sprint and looks for areas of improvement. The daily stand-up meeting is where team members identify what they have worked on and will be working on and report any impediments to their progress for the ScrumMaster to resolve. Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 51 During the daily scrum, Luca mentions that he hasn't completed as much as he had hoped since the last meeting because he's run into a problem. Janna says she had the same problem last week and offers to explain how to fix it. What should the ScrumMaster do? A. Record Luca's problem in the project issue log. B. Have Janna explain how to fix the problem, since this will be valuable information for the entire team to have. C. Ask Luca and Janna to discuss the problem after the meeting so they don't hold things up. D. Ask Luca to predict how the delay will impact the work of his team members. - ANSWER C. Ask Luca and Janna to discuss the problem after the meeting so they don't hold things up. Explanation The daily scrum should address only three questions for each team member: What have they done since the last scrum?" "What do they plan to do today?" and "Are there any impediments to their progress?" Any additional discussion should be conducted outside of the meeting." Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 44 What won't you find in your team's product backlog? A. Fixes to be done B. Nonfunctional requirements C. The sprint backlog D. Code standards - ANSWER D. Code standards Explanation Nonfunctional requirements and fixes to be done are both included in the product backlog. The term sprint backlog" simply refers to the subset of items in the product backlog that have been selected to be done in the current sprint; this isn't a separate list from the product backlog. "Code standards" is an XP concept not a Scrum concept; while a Scrum team might use such standards and possibly even list the code standardization activities in the backlog the standards themselves wouldn't be included in that list." Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 46 You mention in a meeting that agile teams focus on people rather than processes and tools. The product owner responds, I'm confused what do you mean by that?" You answer that it means:" A. A project's chances of success are heavily dependent on whether we can get the best people on the team. B. Having an empowered team is more important for project success than the processes and tools being used. C. It is harder to find people and keep them happy than it is to develop processes and tools. D. If we get the right people on the team, the processes and tools they are using won't matter. - ANSWER B. Having an empowered team is more important for project success than the processes and tools being used. Explanation Agile teams follow Agile Manifesto value 1, individuals and interactions over processes and tools, because experience has shown that having an empowered team is more important to the success of an agile project than the processes and tools they choose to use. Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 29 Senior management at your company is evaluating whether to use a single agile methodology across all their upcoming projects, and you've been asked to advise them. What do you tell them is the advantage of using Crystal? A. It allows us to scale our approach based on the criticality of the project and the size of the team. B. It offers a customized set of methodologies that we can adjust based on the project's size and importance to the organization. C. It provides a framework for incorporating elements of traditional project management into an agile project. D. It uses a color-coded system to plan and control the essential and discretionary elements of the project. - ANSWER A. It allows us to scale our approach based on the criticality of the project and the size of the team. Explanation The Crystal framework is a family of situationally specific, customized methodologies that are coded by color names. Each methodology is customized by criticality (the potential impact of a product defect) and team size. This allows Crystal to cover a wide range of projects, from a small team building a low-criticality system (Crystal Clear) to a large team building a high-criticality system (Crystal Magenta). Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 65 On your team, the people who write the code switch tasks frequently so that they are all able to work on each part of the code. Which agile methodology does it sound like this team is using? Which core practice or principle of that methodology are they following? A. Feature-Driven Development; individual code ownership B. Scrum; transparency C. Extreme Programming; collective code ownership D. Lean; task switching - ANSWER C. Extreme Programming; collective code ownership Explanation This scenario describes collective code ownership, which is a core practice of XP (Extreme Programming). The other options don't fit the scenario; also, task switching isn't a core practice of lean; in fact, it's considered to be waste that should be avoided whenever possible. Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 51 You are a member of a typical Scrum development team. Which statement about you and your teammates is true? A. You accept or reject the product increment. B. You determine the definition of done. C. You have cross-functional skills. D. You remove impediments to your progress. - ANSWER C. You have cross-functional skills. Explanation Scrum teams have cross-functional skills (i.e., they can take on many roles on the project). The other statements are incorrect. The team must work with the product owner to determine the definition of done, and it is the product owner's responsibility to accept or reject the product increment. Impediments to the team's progress are resolved by the ScrumMaster. Domain: Agile Principles and Mindset Source: PMI-ACP Exam Prep Page: 43 What is most important to focus on in putting together a new agile project? A. A comprehensive description of the product to be built and how it will be used B. The individuals who will be involved, and how they will interact with each other C. How the team's progress will be measured and tracked by management D. The processes and tools that will be used, including the technology involved - ANSWER B. The individuals who will be involved, and how they will interact with each other [Show More]
