  1. When using Azure Boards with a Kanban process, what is the purpose of setting 'split columns' (Doing/Done) on the board?

    Answer: To allow a downstream stage to pull work only when ready, reducing handoff delays

    Split columns create a 'Done' sub-column where completed items wait until the next stage pulls them, supporting a pull-based flow and reducing push waste.

  2. In Azure DevOps, which area allows teams to define the stages a work item passes through, such as 'New → Active → Resolved → Closed'?

    Answer: Work item type workflow states

    Work item type workflow states define the lifecycle stages an item moves through, and can be customized in the inherited process model.

  3. A team is using Azure DevOps for a large program with multiple Scrum teams. Which feature helps synchronize dependencies across teams?

    Answer: Delivery Plans

    Delivery Plans in Azure DevOps provide a cross-team timeline view that highlights work and dependencies across multiple teams and sprints.

  4. What does 'cycle time' measure in Agile metrics available in Azure Boards?

    Answer: Time from when work is actively started to when it is completed

    Cycle time measures the elapsed time from when a team member actively begins working on an item to when it reaches the done state.

  5. Which Agile ceremony is specifically intended to inspect the process and create a plan for improvements in the next sprint?

    Answer: Sprint Retrospective

    The Sprint Retrospective focuses on the team's processes, tools, and interactions, generating action items to improve the next sprint.

  6. A team wants to ensure user stories have clear, testable acceptance criteria before sprint planning. Which Agile concept enforces this?

    Answer: Definition of Ready

    The Definition of Ready specifies conditions a backlog item must meet (including acceptance criteria) before the team can commit to it in sprint planning.

  7. In Azure DevOps, how can a team track planned versus actual capacity for each team member during a sprint?

    Answer: Using the Sprint Capacity feature under the sprint backlog

    The Sprint Capacity feature allows teams to enter each member's daily capacity and days off, then compares it against assigned remaining work.
