1. Continuous attention to_____________ and good design enhances agility.

   • Best architectures
   • Technical excellence
   • Robust plans
   • Change control

2. The best description of a Sprint backlog is:

   • Daily progress for a Sprint over the Sprint’s length
   • A prioritized list of tasks to be completed during the project
   • A prioritized list of requirements to be completed during the Sprint
   • A prioritized list of requirements to be completed for a release

3. This Agile methodology focuses on efficiency and habitability as components of project safety.

   • Scrum
   • Kanban
   • Extreme Programming
   • Crystal Clear

4. A time-boxed period to research a concept and/or create a simple prototype is called a(an):

   • Sprint
   • Iteration
   • Spike
   • Retrospective

5. In Scrum, who is responsible for managing the team?

   • Scrum Master
   • Project Manager
   • Development Team
   • Product Owner

6. Simplicity – the art of_______________ is essential

   • Maximizing the amount of work not done
   • Minimizing the amount of work done
   • Maximizing the customer collaboration
   • Minimizing contract negotiation

7. This approach includes a visual process management system and an approach to incremental, evolutionary process changes for organizations.

   • Kanban
   • Scrum
   • Extreme programming
   • Agile Unified Process

8. Which following statement is the least accurate regarding the Burndown chart?

   • It is calculated using hours or points
   • It is updated by the development team daily
   • It provides insight into the quality of the product
   • It reflects work remaining

9. What can be described as “one or two written sentences; a series of conversations about the desired functionality.”

   • User Story
   • Story point
   • Epic
   • Product roadmap

10. This artifact contains release names with expected dates and includes major features, client-side impacts, server-side applications, platform support and markets served:

    • Risk burndown graph
    • Product roadmap
    • Release migration plan
    • Product vision

11. Which statement is least accurate when providing a definition of “Done”?

    • It is the exit criteria to determine whether a product backlog item is complete
    • It may vary depending on the project
    • It is defined by the Scrum Master
    • It becomes more complete over time

12. All of the following are among the seven principles of the Lean approach with the exception of:

    • Amplified learning
    • Decide as late as possible
    • Build integrity in
    • Maximize the work performed

13. Typically calculated in story points, this is the rate at which the team converts “Done” items in a single Sprint:

    • Burndown rate
    • Burn-up rate
    • Velocity
    • Capacity

14. All of the following occur in the second half of the Sprint planning meeting EXCEPT:

    • The Development Team identifies improvements that it will implement in the next Sprint
    • The Product Owner is answers questions and clarifies User Stories
    • The Development Team commits to work in the Sprint
    • Tasks are defined for the User Stories

15. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from:

    • Hand-picked teams
    • Co-located teams
    • Self-organizing teams
    • Cross-functional teams

16. The Sprint retrospective:

    • Is intended to promote continuous process improvements
    • Is held at the end of each release
    • Is conducted to provide the sponsor with key information on team progress
    • Is optional

17. An iteration prior to a release that includes final documentation, integration testing, training and some small tweaks is called:

    • Hardening Iteration
    • Buffer Iteration
    • Release Iteration
    • Integration Iteration

18. Analyzing the current organizational processes, per project requirements, and making needed process changes is called:

    • Value Stream Mapping
    • Release Planning
    • Use Case Development
    • Process Tailoring

19. At the end of first iteration, the team finishes User Stories A, Band 50% of C. What is the team velocity?

    

    • 11.5
    • 9
    • 14
    • 16

20. Suppose 8 new members joined the development team, and the team size is now 15. The daily Scrum is getting noisy and exceeding the 15 minutes time-box. What is the most effective way to address this situation?

    • Divide the team into two teams with minimum dependency and have two separate daily Scrums.
    • Do nothing; allow the large team to exceed the time-box by a few minutes each meeting.
    • Increase the time-box for the daily Scrum to 30 minutes.
    • Ask the team members to only update on the impediments and highlight only the important ones.
