Agile Project Management - Incremental and Iterative Development Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Incremental and Iterative Development

Question 1

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

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?

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?

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.
