Question 1

During a user story review session, a team member suggests a complex feature that could take several sprints to complete. How should the Agile project manager proceed?

Force other team members to support the idea. Reject the feature without further discussion. Claim the feature is unnecessary without assessing its benefits. Delay the project to allocate more time for the feature. Accept the feature without considering its complexity. Explore and consider dividing the feature into smaller, incremental changes that can be completed within the scope of individual sprints.

Correct Answer: Explore and consider dividing the feature into smaller, incremental changes that can be completed within the scope of individual sprints.

The correct answer follows Agile principles by dividing complex features into smaller, manageable tasks that can be incrementally developed, thereby mitigating the risks associated with a single, large feature.

Question 2

You have recently added a new member to your small-scale project team. To accommodate for Small-Scale Realism, how should you manage this change?

Increase the team's workload to test their limits. Replace another existing team member with the new one. Ignore the change and expect the team dynamics to remain the same. Change the project's goals and objectives. Introduce the team member, allow time for adjustment, and reevaluate work capacity. Request the new team member to work separately on necessary tasks.

Correct Answer: Introduce the team member, allow time for adjustment, and reevaluate work capacity.

The correct answer allows for adjustment and helps maintain realistic expectations by introducing the new team member, allowing time for the team to adjust, and reevaluating work capacity. The wrong answers will have a negative impact on team dynamics or project progress.

Question 3

Which of the following is the best technique for estimating tasks in a small-scale project?

Planning Poker Estimating tasks based on a team member’s individual preferences Asking the client to estimate task durations Selecting the shortest possible time for each task Assigning a fixed number of hours to each task Random number selection

Correct Answer: Planning Poker

Planning Poker is a collaborative and consensus-based estimation technique that prevents estimation bias and promotes accuracy in small-scale projects. The wrong answers lack collaboration or use inaccurate methods for estimation.
