PMI-ACP : PMI Agile Certified Practitioner : Part 05
-
When developing user stories, user expectations are best captured in what form?
- Acceptance tests
- Entrance criteria
- Done criteria
- Go and no-go limits
-
The most appropriate model for a geographically distributed project team is one in which the team is distributed across:
- relatively few locations, with each location team comprised of a complete development group developing decoupled subsystems.
- locations in the same time zone, working on the same systems while leveraging rich communication channels.
- relatively few locations, and tasks are divided along functional lines with design in one location, coding in another, and testing in another.
- many locations, with relatively few people at each location developing and testing decoupled subsystems.
-
What are three processes used to begin an Agile project?
- Iterations, Product Road map Planning, and Number of Sprint Iterations
- Visioning, Product Roadmap Planning, and Product Backlog Definition
- Visioning, Product Backlog Definition, and Project Charter Creation
- Burndown chart, Product Roadmap, and sprints’length
-
eXtreme Programming (XP) teams strive to avoid:
- Incremental design and architecture.
- Pair programming.
- Manual regression testing.
- Test-Driven Development (TDD).
-
Agile Earned Value Management (EVM) would be a valuable technique for managing a project because the:
- project is in a CM MI-certified organization.
- customer wants to maximize delivered value,
- cost performance must be reported.
- team is newly formed or new to Agile.
-
What is the role in an eXtreme Programming (XP) project that ensures the right project processes are applied?
- Domain Expert
- Product Owner
- ScrumMaster
- Coach
-
A common estimation unit for Agile projects is:
- Lines of code.
- Function points
- Story points.
- Use-case points.
-
In an Agile approach, project values are most effectively implemented when they are determined by the:
- sponsor
- team
- project manager
- methodology
-
Velocity is the:
- total number of Product Backlog hours completed in an iteration divided by the number of developers.
- measured rate at which teams turn Product Backlog items into running, tested features.
- measured rate at which the project manager turns the Product Backlog into tested features.
- total number of Product Backlog hours completed when developers work in pairs.
-
A ScrumMaster:
- prioritizes the work for each iteration.
- directs the activities of the team.
- provides leadership, guidance, and coaching.
- manages the project scope and budget.
-
When moving to Agile project management, a key factor for the project manager’s success will be:
- shifting from a controlling mindset to a facilitating mindset
- directing the work in a more incremental fashion
- only assigning tasks for the next iteration
- giving up control and rotating management through the team
-
How is the participatory design process characterized?
- A well-planned and well-documented process is documented for each of the iterations in the project.
- Users including project team members participate in the planning process for the project plan.
- End users participate and assist in the design process from the beginning of the project.
- A high level brainstorming process is conducted for the project team and the project sponsor.
-
What is one of the main benefits that Lean portfolio management provides to a business?
- Maximizing work-in-progress
- Quality and thoughtfulness
- Line of sight to business needs
- Maximizing multitasking
-
The purpose of the iteration retrospective is to:
- Report progress of the work effort, what work will be done next, and review impediments to progress.
- Prioritize the Product Backlog, generate development and testing estimates, and plan the next iteration.
- Provide a demonstration of the features developed during the iteration, get feedback from users, and begin testing.
- Identify what worked well, what did not work well, and what actions should be taken to improve the process.
-
Which answer best describes Wide Band Delphi (e. g. Planning Poker) estimating?
- Team members provide story estimates individually and discuss their reasoning until a consensus on the estimate is reached.
- Team performance on prior projects is analyzed, and actual hours and durations are used to determine estimates for similar user stories.
- Team members apply relative sizing to each task, and story points are triangulated based on the other stories in the Sprint Backlog.
- Team members assign a realistic and a pessimistic estimate to each story, and points are assigned based on the calculated average.
-
On a team new to Scrum, two team members are disrupting the daily standup with a side conversation. The ScrumMaster should:
- wait until the standup is over and then talk to the disruptive team members.
- immediately intervene to remedy the disruptive situation.
- record the issue and then raise the issue at the Sprint Retrospective.
- wait for the empowered, self-organizing team to resolve the issue.
-
Which of the following best represents both a principle of the Agile manifesto and a Lean method of simplicity?
- Maximizing the amount of work not done
- Delivering early and continuously
- Welcoming changing requirements
- Deciding at the last responsible moment
-
Who is responsible for the “definition of done”?
- The team
- The Product Owner
- Management
- Project manager
-
The purpose of a project burndown chart is to:
- Identify and communicate upcoming milestones.
- Display the level of effort and resources utilized.
- Identify dependencies between sprints or iterations.
- Display the remaining work across time.
-
Which of the following statements is an accurate value statement of the Agile Manifesto?
- People and places over processes and guidelines
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Working software over complete specifications
- Managing change over managing a plan
