Project managers use velocity to determine:

A.

If the team is committing to an appropriate amount of work for the iteration.

B.

How much work each team member is capable of completing during an iteration.

C.

How much work teams that are similar in size are capable of completing during an
iteration.

D.

If the Product Owner is prioritizing work appropriately in preparation for iteration
planning.

Which of the following best represents both a principle of the Agile manifesto and a Lean
method of simplicity?

A.

Maximizing the amount of work not done

B.

Delivering early and continuously

C.

Welcoming changing requirements

D.

Deciding at the last responsible moment

When interacting with team members, the Agile project manager should:

A.

Ask team members to do things by phrasing the statement as a request rather than as a
demand.

B.

Ignore team member input and emotions when important decisions have to be made.

C.

Proceed cautiously when requesting team members to do something likely to make
them unhappy.

D.

Disagree with the team based on the merit of the issue without considering how the team is feeling.

Applying the Pareto rule when prioritizing the Product Backlog means that:

A.

features that are lower priority are more likely to slip to the next iteration.

B.

the value of a feature is not realized until the feature is complete.

C.

more recent requests are usually more important to the business.

D.

a small percentage of the work will provide a large percentage of the value.

The advantage of face-to-face collaboration emphasized in eXtreme Programming (XP) is
that it:

A.

allows team members to use common language in their design and code.

B.

delays feedback much more than scheduled inspections.

C.

eliminates communication delays and misunderstandings.

D.

allows team members to correct some mistakes on the fly.

Retrospectives provide an opportunity for the team to:

A.

Reflect at the end of every iteration and identify improvements that will increase the
quality of the product.

B.

Participate in a mandatory meeting to share status updates across the team and to
ensure that everyone is on track.

C.

Understand from the management if the project is achieving the Scope, Quality, Cost,
and Schedule goals.

D.

Set goals at the beginning of the iteration and identify requirements that can be
delivered in that iteration.

For the best results in an Agile project, customers should:

A.

set priorities and identify product features.

B.

interview new team members for fit.

C.

approve development plans and tasks.

D.

set sprint and release schedules.

A project team estimates that they should complete 30 story points in the current iteration.
Partway through the iteration they realize that they will complete 50 story points at their
current rate. The team should:

A.

Shorten the iteration to meet the estimated velocity.

B.

Continue to work with the estimated velocity.

C.

Increase their estimated velocity.

D.

Release members to meet the estimated velocity.

What key benefits might stakeholders realize from an Agile approach?

A.

The ability to bypass the change-management process, inserting new requirements and
changes directly into the team as they meet daily

B.

The early and continuous delivery of valuable software, providing increased visibility and
the opportunity for more frequent adjustments

C.

Increased access to the project and less reliance on formal reports and status meetings
to better understand the current work and the risks the team is accepting

D.

The team’s flexibility to make changes mid-iteration as business needs or priorities
change, increasing the ability of the team to meet project commitments

The velocity chart, storyboard, burndown chart, and impediment list are often
communicated using:

A.

Status reports.

B.

Information radiators.

C.

Portfolio presentations.

D.

Project data packages.
