Question 1

A project's release schedule has been delayed multiple times and stakeholders are getting frustrated. The project manager decides to implement Agile Release Planning. Which of the following would NOT be part of this approach?

Fix the release date and adjust the scope as needed. Gather feedback from stakeholders regularly. Conduct sprint planning and release planning meetings. Review and adjust release priorities. Break features down into smaller user stories. Develop a roadmap with high-level features.

Correct Answer: Fix the release date and adjust the scope as needed.

Fixing the release date and adjusting the scope as needed is not part of Agile Release Planning. Instead, the Agile approach prioritizes flexibility by defining a roadmap, breaking features down, gathering regular feedback, and conducting planning meetings.

Question 2

During a product release planning session, the team realizes they may not be able to complete all the features they initially planned. What should the team do?

Extend the deadline to complete all the features. Ask the stakeholders to choose which features to remove. Remove the least important features without discussion. Assign more resources to the project to keep the original scope. Reassess priorities and adjust the scope, ensuring the most important features are included. Cancel the release and start a new planning session.

Correct Answer: Reassess priorities and adjust the scope, ensuring the most important features are included.

The team should reassess their priorities and adjust the scope to ensure important features are included in the release. By doing this, they can balance the stakeholders' needs and available resources while keeping the project on track.

Question 3

An Agile project team is planning their releases for the next quarter. The product owner requests several high-priority features to be included in the first release. However, team members express concerns about the available resources. What should the team do?

Present resource limitations and cancel the release if necessary. Collaborate on defining a realistic scope that balances priorities with team capacity. Delegate the decision to the product owner. Reject the high-priority features and work at their own pace. Focus on low-priority features instead. Accept all high-priority features and extend the deadline.

Correct Answer: Collaborate on defining a realistic scope that balances priorities with team capacity.

The team should collaborate to define a realistic scope, taking into account both the priorities set by the product owner and their own capacity. This includes having open communication about resource limitations and finding a balance that satisfies both the business needs and team's workload.
