Feature Driven Development (FDD) is an iterative and incremental software development methodology that belongs to the Agile family. It was first introduced by Jeff De Luca in 1997 and emphasizes client-valued features as the primary drivers of the development process. FDD follows a five-step proce…

Agile Project Management - Feature Driven Development (FDD) Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Feature Driven Development (FDD)

Question 1

An application will handle customer orders, containing products and their quantities, while calculating total order value. How should the domain model be structured in this case to follow best practices?

Combine Order and Product objects into one object Include an array of Product objects in the Order object Implement three unrelated objects for Order, OrderLine, and Product Create separate Order, OrderLine, and Product objects with proper relationships Create only Order and Product objects, without the OrderLine concept Include a list of primitive types (Product IDs and quantities) within the Order object

Correct Answer: Create separate Order, OrderLine, and Product objects with proper relationships

A well-structured domain model separates concepts into distinct objects and establishes clear relationships. Creating separate Order, OrderLine, and Product objects ensures a modular design that simplifies addition and removal of products and calculations.

Question 2

Inspections reveal that the team tends to overlook specific design patterns. What is the most effective way to address this issue?

Revert to the waterfall model. Let the overlooked design patterns stay in the project. Provide training or resources to help the team understand and apply the correct design patterns. Replace the team with more experienced members. Demand immediate improvement without offering support. Announce a reward system for those who apply the patterns correctly.

Correct Answer: Provide training or resources to help the team understand and apply the correct design patterns.

Providing training or resources is the most effective solution as it empowers the team to learn and apply correct design patterns in the project. The other solutions either ignore the problem, don't offer support, or undermine the Agile process.

Question 3

In a FDD project, the product owner notices that the number of completed features has plateaued and progress is slowing down. Which of the following is the best approach to ensure accurate progress tracking?

Implement strict penalties for slow feature completion Conduct a review meeting to identify bottlenecks and adjust the development plan accordingly Stop tracking progress until the initial backlog is cleared Rewrite the requirements to make them easier to complete Introduce additional features to motivate the team Double the velocity to complete features faster

Correct Answer: Conduct a review meeting to identify bottlenecks and adjust the development plan accordingly

A review meeting is the best approach to identify any issues or bottlenecks causing the slowdown, and then adjust the development plan as necessary. The other options do not address the root cause of the problem and could potentially introduce additional issues.
