Question 1

Your team is close to the iteration deadline with some user stories incomplete. What should they do?

Focus on completing user stories that will result in working software Prioritize less important tasks to show increased productivity Work on multiple user stories simultaneously to maximize output Start on new user stories and postpone the incomplete ones for the next iteration Extend the iteration deadline to complete all user stories Cancel the iteration and plan a new one

Correct Answer: Focus on completing user stories that will result in working software

Focus on completing user stories that will result in working software, as Agile Project Management values working software over comprehensive documentation. By doing this, your team delivers value to customers in a timely manner.

Question 2

A newly formed agile team is not delivering working software. The product owner and the team are aligned on the scope and project goals. What should they do?

Hire more team members Review team's capacity, knowledge, and communication to identify potential roadblocks Dismantle the agile process and revert to traditional project management Blame the product owner for providing unclear requirements Force the team to work longer hours Introduce micromanagement to control team productivity

Correct Answer: Review team's capacity, knowledge, and communication to identify potential roadblocks

Reviewing capacity, knowledge, and communication helps the team identify potential obstacles to delivering working software, allowing them to address those issues using agile practices. The other answers propose solutions that do not address the root causes of the problem and would potentially hinder the team's ability to improve.

Question 3

A project has been running smoothly, but multiple team members have expressed concerns about the increasing technical debt. What should the team do?

Ignore the issue, as the project is running smoothly Wait until the project is completed before addressing technical debt Ask the team members to work extra hours to address technical debt Fire the team members who raised the concern Allocate time in the next sprint(s) to address technical debt Invest in more technology to solve the problem

Correct Answer: Allocate time in the next sprint(s) to address technical debt

Allocating time in the next sprint(s) to address technical debt demonstrates the team's commitment to continuous improvement, quality, and long-term maintainability. Neglecting the issue, waiting until completion, or resorting to extreme measures is shortsighted and likely to negatively impact the project's success.
