✍️ Sample CAD Questions & Answers

1. When should a pair programming session be considered 'done' for a given task?
When the task passes its acceptance criteria and automated tests, regardless of who typed the code

The goal of pairing is working, tested code that meets acceptance criteria — the role rotation is a means, not the end.

2. The 'Definition of Done' (DoD) affects agile metrics because:
It sets a consistent quality threshold that defines when work can be counted as complete

The DoD provides a shared, objective standard so that velocity and acceptance metrics reflect truly finished, shippable work rather than partial efforts.

3. Which Agile practice helps teams continuously improve after each sprint?
Sprint Retrospective

Sprint Retrospective allows teams to reflect on what went well, what can be improved, and how to enhance processes for future sprints.

4. What is the primary benefit of co-locating agile team members?
It enables richer, faster communication through osmotic information sharing

Co-location enables osmotic communication where team members absorb context passively, accelerating decision-making and reducing misunderstandings.

5. Why do Agile teams prefer face-to-face communication over written documentation?
It is the most efficient method of conveying information within a team

The Agile Manifesto states that face-to-face conversation is the most efficient and effective method of conveying information.

6. What does the concept of 'psychological safety' contribute to agile team collaboration?
It allows team members to speak up, take risks, and admit mistakes without fear of punishment

Psychological safety enables honest communication and experimentation, which are foundational to continuous improvement in agile.
