Agile Project Management - Extreme Programming (XP) Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Extreme Programming (XP)

Question 1

An Agile team is falling behind on the project schedule due to frequent overtime work. What should be done to establish a sustainable pace?

Reevaluate workload distribution and prioritize tasks. Reduce communication within the team to save time. Work additional hours to catch up. Add new team members to increase productivity. Mandate longer work hours for all team members. Dismiss low-performing team members.

Correct Answer: Reevaluate workload distribution and prioritize tasks.

Reevaluating workload distribution and prioritizing tasks would allow the team to focus on tasks that matter most and mitigate overtime work. The other options would increase workload and put additional pressure on the team.

Question 2

The development team is having difficulty collaborating with the QA team, leading to delays in product testing and delivery. How can the Agile team best resolve this issue?

Establish a QA-focused sub-team within the development team. Create a competition between the two teams to increase productivity. Replace the current QA team with a more effective team. Implement a different Agile framework that doesn't require QA involvement. Integrate the QA team members into the development team, promoting increased collaboration and communication. Assign both teams separate work hours to avoid interference.

Correct Answer: Integrate the QA team members into the development team, promoting increased collaboration and communication.

Integrating QA team members into the development team will promote increased collaboration and communication, leading to better and faster product testing and delivery.

Question 3

A team member frequently misses daily stand-up meetings due to personal reasons. As a Scrum Master, how can you address this issue?

Ask the team to vote on whether the team member should continue attending the meetings. Make attendance at daily stand-up meetings optional. Ignore the issue as long as the team member completes their tasks. Switch to a different meeting format that the team member can attend. Talk with the team member privately, understand their situation, and find ways to accommodate their needs while maintaining team collaboration. Punish the team member by giving them extra tasks.

Correct Answer: Talk with the team member privately, understand their situation, and find ways to accommodate their needs while maintaining team collaboration.

By talking privately with the team member, the Scrum Master can understand their situation and try to find ways to accommodate their needs while still maintaining collaboration within the team.
