Incremental and Iterative Development test - Agile Project Management questions

Question 1

During a sprint review, stakeholders request changes to a completed item. How should the team account for these changes in the sprint?

Schedule a meeting with all stakeholders to negotiate and finalize the changes before implementing them. Add the changes as new user stories or tasks to the product backlog, and allow the Product Owner to prioritize them. Ask the stakeholder to submit a formal change request and pay extra for the modifications. Reject the changes as they were not part of the initial requirements. Make the changes immediately and extend the current sprint. Incorporate the changes as technical debt and address them when there is free time.

Correct Answer: Add the changes as new user stories or tasks to the product backlog, and allow the Product Owner to prioritize them.

The correct answer involves capturing the changes as new items in the product backlog and relying on the Product Owner to prioritize them. Other options do not follow Agile principles, may harm stakeholder relationships, or lead to inefficient planning.

Question 2

A team member frequently complains about a specific feature, but you already have a regular feedback session, what's the best approach to incorporate their feedback to avoid delaying current tasks?

Ignore the team member's concerns. Replace the team member. Ask the team member to compile their concerns and suggest potential solutions, then discuss them during the next feedback session. Instruct the team member to discuss their concerns during daily stand-up meetings. Request the team member to wait until the end of the project. Immediately address the concerns and interrupt the current task.

Correct Answer: Ask the team member to compile their concerns and suggest potential solutions, then discuss them during the next feedback session.

The correct answer ensures that feedback is gathered and the current tasks aren't interrupted. Ignoring concerns or delaying until the end of the project won't help improve the project. Discussing during daily stand-ups interrupts flow and replacing the team member is extreme.

Question 3

A team struggles to effectively adapt to changes resulting from stakeholder feedback. What's the best adjustment for the Agile Coach?

Force all incoming changes to be accepted and implemented within the current sprint. Instruct the team to ignore certain stakeholder feedback. Work with the team to enhance their understanding and utilization of Agile principles, enabling them to better adapt to changes. Switch the team to a non-agile methodology. Suggest the team work on two sprints simultaneously to accommodate changes. Inform stakeholders that their input is no longer needed.

Correct Answer: Work with the team to enhance their understanding and utilization of Agile principles, enabling them to better adapt to changes.

Improving the team's understanding of Agile principles helps them better manage change. Disregarding stakeholder input or forcing acceptance of changes aren't aligned with Agile principles. Switching methodology or working on multiple sprints does not solve the adaptability issue.
