QUIS PMP PART 11

     A scrum master is conducting a daily standup. Each member of the development team states that their work has been stalled due to various blockers. As a result, the entire development team has been idled, and the schedule baseline is in jeopardy.

 

What should the scrum master do first?

• Attempt to resolve the problems during the meeting

• Analyze and prioritize the blockers

• Assign the team to work on another project in the meanwhile

•   Escalate the issue to the project sponsor

  A project manager is determining the budget for a software development project where the product will be built incrementally. Since the project is subject to a strict budget, the project manager has to ensure that scope and schedule baselines stay within cost constraints. The project manager includes budgetary requirements in the release plan.

 

How can the information in the release plan help the project manager with determining the project budget?

•  

  The release plan can become a part of the cost management plan.

   

• The velocity can be increased for the project to stay within budget constraints

• Release burndown charts can be updated with cost trend lines

• Review meetings with stakeholders can be used to discuss the scope and schedule

You are leading a complex project with a schedule baseline that cannot be modified due to external constraints. The scope, however, is flexible. The project deliverables are produced by three development teams that work independently from one another. The teams manage their workflow using Kanban.

 

Which of the following is the most effective tool for you to use to measure the project's progress?

 

• Feature chart

• Burndown chart

• Burnup chart

• Cumulative flow diagram

An organization is about to undertake three complex agile projects that will have interdependencies between them. Each project has a team consisting of six members and is led by a scrum master. The projects are part of a bigger program.

 

What is the best strategy for the program manager to coordinate the work between the projects?

• Suggest that the scrum masters establish a scrum of scrums between the projects

• Allow the project teams to work independently to expedite the delivery of value

   

• Combine the project teams into one large scrum team led by a scrum master

• Ensure that all project activities are scheduled during initial project planning

   

For the last few iterations, a stakeholder has been approaching the scrum master with a suggestion to modify the way the team carries out its development work. According to the stakeholder, the change will save time without affecting the project backlog.

 

What action should be taken by the scrum master?

• Review the suggestion with the team and allow them to determine the best approach

   

• Ask the stakeholder to submit a change request to update the schedule baseline

• Reject the suggestion to ensure the team is shielded from stakeholder interruptions

•   Use the daily standup meeting as a venue to discuss the suggested change
