Question 1

The project manager opted for incremental delivery, but the team is having trouble keeping up with the tight release schedule. Stakeholders are getting concerned that the project will be delayed. How should the project manager address this situation?

Correct Answer: Review the schedule with the team and stakeholders, and adjust it as needed.

The most effective solution is to review the schedule with the team and stakeholders, adjusting it to match the team's progress and capabilities while addressing stakeholder concerns.

Question 2

Using incremental delivery, a project team added a new feature to a web platform. Post-release, the feature is facing performance issues due to high user traffic. What should the project manager do?

Correct Answer: Gather data on the issue, prioritize it, and include a solution in the upcoming increments.

The best approach is to gather data on the issue, prioritize it, and include a solution in the upcoming increments. This ensures that the project progresses while addressing the identified performance issues.

Question 3

You're leading a team on a software development project following an incremental delivery model. After the first increment release, your team leaves on a month-long vacation. In their absence, bugs are discovered in the released increment. What should be your immediate action?

Correct Answer: Contact a substitute team or external agency to assist with the issues in the meantime.

The best immediate action in this situation, taking into account the demands of project management and customer satisfaction, would be to 'Contact a substitute team or external agency to assist with the issues in the meantime'. This approach allows for continuity in dealing with the discovered bugs, making sure they are fixed in a timely manner and that the software continues to provide value to its users. Waiting for the team to return is not an effective way to manage this situation, because it leaves the bugs unattended for an extended period of time, which is unacceptable in the software development industry. Publicly apologising and suggesting that users wait for a fix is also not a solution, as this endorses a lack of action and can lead to negative user experience. Trying to resolve the bugs without technical expertise could potentially worsen the issues, ultimately leading to more damage than initially caused.
