PMI-ACP : PMI Agile Certified Practitioner : Part 05

  1. When developing user stories, user expectations are best captured in what form?

    • Acceptance tests
    • Entrance criteria
    • Done criteria
    • Go and no-go limits
  2. The most appropriate model for a geographically distributed project team is one in which the team is distributed across:

    • relatively few locations, with each location team comprised of a complete development group developing decoupled subsystems.
    • locations in the same time zone, working on the same systems while leveraging rich communication channels.
    • relatively few locations, and tasks are divided along functional lines with design in one location, coding in another, and testing in another.
    • many locations, with relatively few people at each location developing and testing decoupled subsystems.
  3. What are three processes used to begin an Agile project?

    • Iterations, Product Road map Planning, and Number of Sprint Iterations
    • Visioning, Product Roadmap Planning, and Product Backlog Definition
    • Visioning, Product Backlog Definition, and Project Charter Creation
    • Burndown chart, Product Roadmap, and sprints’length
  4. eXtreme Programming (XP) teams strive to avoid:

    • Incremental design and architecture.
    • Pair programming.
    • Manual regression testing.
    • Test-Driven Development (TDD).
  5. Agile Earned Value Management (EVM) would be a valuable technique for managing a project because the:

    • project is in a CM MI-certified organization.
    • customer wants to maximize delivered value,
    • cost performance must be reported.
    • team is newly formed or new to Agile.
  6. What is the role in an eXtreme Programming (XP) project that ensures the right project processes are applied?

    • Domain Expert
    • Product Owner
    • ScrumMaster
    • Coach
  7. A common estimation unit for Agile projects is:

    • Lines of code.
    • Function points
    • Story points.
    • Use-case points.
  8. In an Agile approach, project values are most effectively implemented when they are determined by the:

    • sponsor
    • team
    • project manager
    • methodology
  9. Velocity is the:

    • total number of Product Backlog hours completed in an iteration divided by the number of developers.
    • measured rate at which teams turn Product Backlog items into running, tested features.
    • measured rate at which the project manager turns the Product Backlog into tested features.
    • total number of Product Backlog hours completed when developers work in pairs.
  10. A ScrumMaster:

    • prioritizes the work for each iteration.
    • directs the activities of the team.
    • provides leadership, guidance, and coaching.
    • manages the project scope and budget.
  11. When moving to Agile project management, a key factor for the project manager’s success will be:

    • shifting from a controlling mindset to a facilitating mindset
    • directing the work in a more incremental fashion
    • only assigning tasks for the next iteration
    • giving up control and rotating management through the team
  12. How is the participatory design process characterized?

    • A well-planned and well-documented process is documented for each of the iterations in the project.
    • Users including project team members participate in the planning process for the project plan.
    • End users participate and assist in the design process from the beginning of the project.
    • A high level brainstorming process is conducted for the project team and the project sponsor.
  13. What is one of the main benefits that Lean portfolio management provides to a business?

    • Maximizing work-in-progress
    • Quality and thoughtfulness
    • Line of sight to business needs
    • Maximizing multitasking
  14. The purpose of the iteration retrospective is to:

    • Report progress of the work effort, what work will be done next, and review impediments to progress.
    • Prioritize the Product Backlog, generate development and testing estimates, and plan the next iteration.
    • Provide a demonstration of the features developed during the iteration, get feedback from users, and begin testing.
    • Identify what worked well, what did not work well, and what actions should be taken to improve the process.
  15. Which answer best describes Wide Band Delphi (e. g. Planning Poker) estimating?

    • Team members provide story estimates individually and discuss their reasoning until a consensus on the estimate is reached.
    • Team performance on prior projects is analyzed, and actual hours and durations are used to determine estimates for similar user stories.
    • Team members apply relative sizing to each task, and story points are triangulated based on the other stories in the Sprint Backlog.
    • Team members assign a realistic and a pessimistic estimate to each story, and points are assigned based on the calculated average.
  16. On a team new to Scrum, two team members are disrupting the daily standup with a side conversation. The ScrumMaster should:

    • wait until the standup is over and then talk to the disruptive team members.
    • immediately intervene to remedy the disruptive situation.
    • record the issue and then raise the issue at the Sprint Retrospective.
    • wait for the empowered, self-organizing team to resolve the issue.
  17. Which of the following best represents both a principle of the Agile manifesto and a Lean method of simplicity?

    • Maximizing the amount of work not done
    • Delivering early and continuously
    • Welcoming changing requirements
    • Deciding at the last responsible moment
  18. Who is responsible for the “definition of done”?

    • The team
    • The Product Owner
    • Management
    • Project manager
  19. The purpose of a project burndown chart is to:

    • Identify and communicate upcoming milestones.
    • Display the level of effort and resources utilized.
    • Identify dependencies between sprints or iterations.
    • Display the remaining work across time.
  20. Which of the following statements is an accurate value statement of the Agile Manifesto?

    • People and places over processes and guidelines
    • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
    • Working software over complete specifications
    • Managing change over managing a plan
