b)
Manage product quality
c)
Control the product scope
d)
Close the project or phase
3.
As your project progresses, a team member suggests a minor modification to one of the project deliverables, saying that the modification will improve the overall performance of the final product. You believe that the modification constitutes a minor change to the project scope, schedule, and budget, and should be approved without going to the change control board.
What should you do next?
a)
Approve the change request. As the project manager, you should use expert judgment to decide what is best for the project.

You are leading a project that was supposed to be managed using agile methods. Every week, however, the product owner holds a five-hour backlog refinement meeting with the project team where she presents the project scope broken down to the work package level. After three iterations, the project team's velocity is slower than expected.
What is your best course of action?
a)
Ask the product owner to decompose the scope down to the task level and assign the tasks to the team members
b)
Advise the product owner to hold two five-hour backlog refinement meetings per week to gain further clarity on the scope
c)
Coach the product owner on presenting the overall story concept with one-hour weekly backlog refinement meetings
d)
Hold a team-building exercise with the team members and product owner to improve the communication between them
5.
You are leading a software development project for a client. The change control board (CCB) has been inundated with change requests from the client throughout the project as the product has evolved.

Which of the following tailoring considerations might you have missed earlier in the project?
a)
Diversity
b)
Stability of requirements
c)
Physical location
d)
Validation and control

Develop the complete set of features and showcase it at a developer's conference
b)
Create a wireframe for the public to use and provide feedback
c)
Plan for the development of an MVP for a release to a subset of customers
d)
Perform decomposition to create the work breakdown structure

Breaking down high-level deliverables into work packages
d)
Planning product scope and refraining from planning project scope

What is your best course of action to prevent gold plating for the remainder of the current project and on future projects?
a)
Bring up the topic during the project retrospective
b)
Capture the best practice in the lessons learned register
c)
Gold plating adds customer value and should not be prevented
d)
Ensure that the scope management plan includes daily stand-up meetings
