Question 1

You are the project manager of an Agile team which needs to implement living documentation. The existing documentation is outdated. What would you recommend as the best approach?

Implement living documentation tools like Cucumber, and keep the documentation up-to-date alongside new features and bug fixes. Design a complex diagram to include all the current processes and systems. Ignore documentation and rely on the development team's memory. Redesign the whole system to use a different project management methodology. Update the existing documentation manually and distribute it to team members. Discard all the existing documentation and start from scratch.

Correct Answer: Implement living documentation tools like Cucumber, and keep the documentation up-to-date alongside new features and bug fixes.

The correct answer is to implement living documentation tools, which are designed to keep the documentation up-to-date and in sync with the development process, making it easier for the team to always have accurate and updated information.

Question 2

Your Agile team has successfully adopted living documentation for a project, but some stakeholders are not satisfied with the level of detail provided. What approach should you take to address this issue?

Merge all previous versions of the living documentation into a single version. Remove any detailed documentation, as it may cause information overload. Collaborate with stakeholders to improve and refine living documentation, making sure it provides the needed information. Delegate the task of documentation to stakeholders. Delay future updates to prioritize documentation. Ignore stakeholder requirements and proceed with the existing documentation.

Correct Answer: Collaborate with stakeholders to improve and refine living documentation, making sure it provides the needed information.

Collaborating with stakeholders allows you to ensure that living documentation provides the necessary information and helps increase clarity for everyone involved in the project.

Question 3

Your Agile team is preparing to release an incremental update to their software, but there have been multiple updates to the living documentation since the last release. How should the team ensure that the living documentation accurately reflects the new update?

Wait for end-user feedback after the release. Guide users through onboarding to see if they understand the updates. Manual review and approval by a designated team member. Execute acceptance tests based on living documentation outputs before the release and ensure that all tests are passing. Use static documentation instead of living documentation. Roll back to the previous version and compare the two.

Correct Answer: Execute acceptance tests based on living documentation outputs before the release and ensure that all tests are passing.

Executing acceptance tests ensures that the system fulfills its requirements and the living documentation accurately reflects the current state of the software.
