Agile Project Management - Agile Retrospectives Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Agile Retrospectives

Question 1

During a sprint retrospective, the team identifies an issue with the project management tool they're using. How should the Agile Project Manager respond?

Blame the team for not raising the issue sooner Ignore the issue and continue using the current tool Discount the issue as inconsequential Collaborate with the team to address the issue and find a suitable solution Mandate the use of a new tool without team input Escalate the issue to the highest management level

Correct Answer: Collaborate with the team to address the issue and find a suitable solution

An Agile Project Manager should collaborate with the team and maintain open communication while working together to find a suitable solution to the issue.

Question 2

Your Agile team completed the development of a new feature in the current sprint. However, the feature will not be tested until the next sprint. What should you do to ensure actionable outcomes?

Postpone testing for several sprints Integrate testing as part of the sprint to maintain a potentially releasable product Complete all development tasks before testing Have developers test their own features Hire an external testing team Remove testing from project scope

Correct Answer: Integrate testing as part of the sprint to maintain a potentially releasable product

In Agile, integrating testing within the sprint ensures that a potentially releasable product is maintained at the end of each sprint and any arising issues are resolved immediately.

Question 3

An important stakeholder was not satisfied with a recently completed project feature. How can your Agile team effectively address this issue?

Change the project's entire direction based on this single feedback. Blame the scrum master for not managing the team correctly. Ask for specific feedback from the stakeholder and incorporate the changes into the product backlog. Ignore the stakeholder's feedback and proceed with the project. Cancel the project and start a new one focused on the stakeholder's satisfaction. Launch a full investigation to find who is responsible for the unsatisfactory feature.

Correct Answer: Ask for specific feedback from the stakeholder and incorporate the changes into the product backlog.

Gathering specific feedback and incorporating it into the product backlog respects the Agile principle of adapting to changes and ensures continual improvement. Other answers lead to conflict, lack of adaptability, or wasted resources.
