An agile team estimates and averages a cycle time of three days per story and there are 30 stories. How much time it would take to complete the project?
a)
10 business days
b)
90 business days
c)
30 business days
d)
None of the above
2.
The agile project team you are managing is responsive for developing one of the five different components of a complex enterprise solution. Your PMO representative tells you she’s concerned because your team is using a larger story point unit than the other four teams. What should you do?
a)
Tell the PMO that this is the story point your team has chosen, and it doesn’t matter how large it is relative to the other teams
b)
Ask your team lead to coordinate their story point metric with the other teams to ensure that the different components interface smoothly
c)
Explain to the PMO that the size of each team’s story point doesn’t matter since this is just a theoretical concept, not a real-world metric
d)
Show the PMO why your story point has to be larger, since your part of the solution has more complex requirements than the others
3.
A project manager is estimating the length of time the project will take. The project manager worked on a comparable project two years ago that installed 10 miles of guardrails at a rate of one mile a day in similar weather conditions, using the same size crew on the same type of highway.
What estimating technique would be the appropriate option for the project manager to use for his duration estimate?
a)
Parametric estimating
b)
Analogous estimating
c)
Bottom-up estimating
d)
Three-point estimating
4.
After an agile team completes three iterations, the project manager determines that the average velocity of the team for these three iterations was 30 story points. There are 292 more story points to complete the remaining portion of the project.
How many additional iterations will it take for the team to complete the project?
a)
7 iterations
b)
8 iterations
c)
9 iterations
d)
10 iterations
5.
You are project manager for a construction project. The steering group asked you to accelerate the schedule to meet an imposed date. As agreed with the steering group, you are constructing the foundation for a building before completing all of the architectural drawings. This is an example of ….
a)
Re-prioritizing
b)
Crashing
c)
Fast tracking
d)
Leads and lags
6.
An agile project to develop a new application has just finished its first iteration. To better assess marketing and support needs, the company's management has requested that the scrum master provide a date for when the application can be launched.
What is the best course of action for the scrum master?
a)
Provide an accurate estimate based on the velocity of the first iteration
b)
Request time to develop the project schedule baseline
c)
If possible, defer estimating until after a few iterations are completed
d)
Provide a random date just to calm the management down
7.
You are leading a software development project, which is utilizing an agile framework. While monitoring the progress of the project, it is apparent that velocity is trending down, and you are aware of some setbacks that have been encountered by the development team. You want to capture and analyze lessons learned so far during the project to improve the process going forward.
What is the best way to achieve this goal?
a)
Perform a sprint review
b)
Schedule a sprint planning meeting
c)
Conduct an iteration retrospective
d)
Lessons learned are not utilized on agile projects
8.
A software development project operates in an uncertain and rapidly changing environment. Competitors are constantly releasing new products with features more advanced than those developed by the team. To keep up with the market, the sprint plans are continuously updated. The project manager is concermed that the project is in danger due to "done drift".
What decision will the project manager have to make under these circumstances?
a)
How to keep the team motivated despite more advanced features developed by competitors
b)
When to switch from the adaptive to predictive development approach to prevent further changes
c)
What to do with the knowledge gained during the sprint retrospective meetings
d)
Whether to release the product as-is or continue updating the features prior to launch
9.
The project manager is 6 months into a multi-million-dollar project. The latest analysis shows a CPI of 1.5 and an SPI of 0.6. What should she do?
a)
Nothing. The analysis shows the project is on budget and on schedule.
b)
Consider crashing the project schedule
c)
Replace one of the higher paid team members with a lower-salaried employee
d)
Inform the customer that you are extending the delivery date for the project
10.
A project manager has just calculated the project performance measurements, and the project's current cost performance index (CPI) is 0.9 while the schedule performance index (SPI) is 1.1.
a)
Over budget and ahead of schedule
b)
Under budget and behind schedule
c)
Over budget and behind schedule
d)
Under budget and ahead of schedule
100 %
