A ScrumMaster consistently holds Daily Scrums and keeps them to 15 minutes or less. The ScrumMaster brings a list of assigned tasks and checks the status of each task with the relevant team members. The ScrumMaster then assigns new tasks for the day and ends the meeting. Is this an appropriate approach to running Daily Scrums?
- Yes, the ScrumMaster should get status updates and distribute new tasks to the team.
- Yes, the ScrumMaster should hold Scrums daily and keep the time to 15 minutes or less.
- No, the ScrumMaster should act in the role of facilitator to foster team self-organization.
- No, the ScrumMaster should allow the Scrum to run as long as is required by the team.
-
Which of the following is part of the 12 practices defined in eXtreme Programming (XP)?
- Risk management
- Small releases
- Project management
- Project charter
-
Spike solutions are appropriate when:
- the business requirements are vague or inadequate for an iteration.
- a technology is understood well and has been used for a while, but needs a problem to be debugged.
- there is insufficient time to refactor, but there is a need to resolve a specific problem.
- a specific technical needs to be answered, stopping work on the spike as soon as it answers that question.
-
The velocity chart, storyboard, burndown chart, and impediment list are often communicated using:
- Status reports.
- Information radiators.
- Portfolio presentations.
- Project data packages.
-
An organization adopts Agile practices and implements an incremental delivery strategy. If implemented correctly, the company should recognize improved:
- procurement processes by requiring vendors to ship materials as needed.
- project cost management by making incremental payments on contracts.
- customer satisfaction by specifying project shipping dates in the contract.
- project Return on Investment (ROI) by releasing individual features to market.
-
The advantage of face-to-face collaboration emphasized in eXtreme Programming (XP) is that it:
- allows team members to use common language in their design and code.
- delays feedback much more than scheduled inspections.
- eliminates communication delays and misunderstandings.
- allows team members to correct some mistakes on the fly.
-
What is used to provide a simple medium for gathering basic information about stories, recording high-level requirements, developing work estimates, and defining acceptance tests?
- Story card

Which of the following is most appropriate to always participate in Planning Poker?
- Product Owner
- Stakeholders
- Team members
- Project manager
-
How does Empirical Process Control support Agile methodologies?
- Testing, requirements, and adaptation
- Testing, requirements, and change
- Visibility, review, and testing

- Are you on track to complete assigned story points?

-
