Agile Project Management - Kanban Methodology Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Kanban Methodology

Question 1

A critical stakeholder submitted late feedback during a sprint, causing a blocked item. What should be the closest course of action?

Review the feedback during the next sprint planning session to evaluate its impact on the project Add the feedback to the current sprint immediately Dedicate the entire next sprint to addressing the feedback Ask the team members to work overtime to address the feedback Discard the feedback as it came too late Inform the stakeholder that their feedback will not be considered in the current project

Correct Answer: Review the feedback during the next sprint planning session to evaluate its impact on the project

The correct answer takes the feedback into account, but assesses its impact before making changes, whereas other answers either ignore the feedback or make rushed decisions without proper evaluation.

Question 2

In a project utilizing Kanban for maintenance activities, the team is facing challenges in determining the resources required for each task. Which Kanban cadence should the team use to allocate the required resources?

Risk Review Replenishment Meeting Strategy Review Service Delivery Review Stand-up Meetings Operations Review

Correct Answer: Stand-up Meetings

Stand-up Meetings are the correct answer because they are daily, short-duration meetings focused on discussing the current work in progress and resolving any roadblocks, which includes resource allocation. The other options are not focused on daily work progress or allocation of resources.

Question 3

A fixed delivery date project is ongoing, and the project lead wants to start working on an intangible non-urgent project in parallel. How should this be handled based on Classes of Service principles?

Delay the fixed delivery date project to accommodate the non-urgent project. Disregard the non-urgent project entirely. Assign both projects to separate teams. Merge both projects into a single sprint. Require team members to work on the non-urgent project in their spare time. Integrate the non-urgent project into the timeline, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the fixed delivery date project.

Correct Answer: Integrate the non-urgent project into the timeline, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the fixed delivery date project.

According to Classes of Service, it's important to accommodate different types of tasks without jeopardizing critical projects. Integrating the non-urgent project into the timeline without interfering with the fixed delivery date project ensures both can move forward optimally.
