  1. What is the primary role of an Agile Release Train (ART) in SAFe?

    Answer: A long-lived team of Agile teams that develops and delivers solutions incrementally

    An ART is a virtual organization of 50-125 people (5-12 Agile teams) who deliver value by building solutions in a shared, cadence-based Program Increment.

  2. In Scrum-ban, which characteristic from Kanban is typically adopted into Scrum?

    Answer: WIP limits on the sprint board

    Scrum-ban combines Scrum's structure with Kanban's WIP limits, allowing teams to manage flow within their sprint while maintaining Scrum ceremonies.

  3. Which Agile framework uses the concept of 'value streams' as the fundamental organizing principle for enterprise agility?

    Answer: SAFe

    SAFe organizes around value streams — the series of steps an organization uses to build solutions that provide continuous value to a customer.

  4. In XP, what does the 'sustainable pace' practice mean for a development team?

    Answer: Teams should work at a pace they can maintain indefinitely without burning out

    Sustainable pace (formerly 'no overtime') holds that teams should work at a pace that can be maintained long-term, preserving quality and team health.

  5. Which statement best describes the NEXUS framework for scaling Scrum?

    Answer: It adds a Nexus Integration Team to coordinate 3-9 Scrum teams sharing one Product Backlog

    Nexus adds a Nexus Integration Team on top of standard Scrum to identify and resolve integration issues when 3-9 teams work from a single Product Backlog.

  6. In the context of Feature-Driven Development (FDD), what is a 'feature' defined as?

    Answer: A client-valued function that can be delivered in two weeks or less

    FDD defines a feature as a small, client-valued function expressible as 'action, result, object' that can be designed, built, and tested within two weeks.

  7. What distinguishes a 'pull system' in Kanban from a 'push system' in traditional project management?

    Answer: Pull systems start new work only when capacity is available; push systems start work based on schedules

    In a Kanban pull system, team members pull new work only when they have capacity, preventing overload; push systems schedule work regardless of current capacity.
