In SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), what is the primary purpose of the Program Increment (PI) Planning event?
Answer: To align all teams on a shared mission and create a plan for the next 8-12 weeks
PI Planning is a two-day event where all teams in an Agile Release Train align on objectives and create iteration plans for the next Program Increment.
Which Kanban principle specifically addresses limiting the amount of work started but not yet completed?
Answer: Limit Work in Progress (WIP)
Limiting WIP is a core Kanban principle that reduces multitasking, exposes bottlenecks, and improves flow by capping concurrent work items.
In the Disciplined Agile (DA) framework, what does the term 'choose your WoW' (Way of Working) emphasize?
Answer: Organizations should select and tailor their process based on their unique context
DA's 'choose your WoW' philosophy recognizes that context matters and teams should select and evolve their process to fit their specific situation.
What is the key difference between Scrum and Kanban regarding iteration timeboxes?
Answer: Scrum uses fixed-length sprints while Kanban uses continuous flow without fixed iterations
Scrum operates in fixed-length sprints (typically 1-4 weeks), while Kanban uses continuous flow where work items move through the board without sprint boundaries.
In LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum), how many Product Owners exist for multiple teams working on a single product?
Answer: One Product Owner for all teams
LeSS maintains a single Product Owner who manages one Product Backlog shared across all teams, preserving Scrum's core structure at scale.
Which XP (Extreme Programming) practice directly addresses the risk of integrating code changes too infrequently?
Answer: Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration in XP requires developers to integrate and test their changes multiple times per day, catching integration problems early.
In Crystal methodology, what is the primary factor used to determine which Crystal variant (Clear, Yellow, Orange, Red) a project should use?
Answer: Team size and project criticality
Crystal variants are selected based on team size (number of people) and the criticality of the system (what happens if it fails), not technical factors.
