Read the first 7 Agile & Hybrid Project Methods flashcards as text

  1. Which artifact in Scrum represents the team's commitment to achieving the Sprint Goal, listing all work identified for the sprint?

    Answer: Sprint Backlog

    The Sprint Backlog is owned by the Development Team and contains the Sprint Goal, selected backlog items, and the plan for delivering the increment.

  2. A project manager is transitioning a traditionally managed project to Agile mid-project. Which action is MOST important first?

    Answer: Assess team readiness and stakeholder appetite for iterative delivery

    Understanding team capability and stakeholder tolerance for change is essential before adopting new methods mid-project.

  3. In Extreme Programming (XP), what practice involves two programmers working together at one workstation, one writing code and one reviewing?

    Answer: Pair Programming

    Pair Programming is an XP practice where a 'driver' writes code while a 'navigator' reviews in real time, improving quality and knowledge sharing.

  4. What is a 'Definition of Ready' (DoR) in Agile?

    Answer: Conditions a backlog item must meet before being pulled into a sprint

    The DoR ensures backlog items are sufficiently understood and refined before a team commits to them in Sprint Planning.

  5. In a hybrid project, a project manager uses earned value management (EVM) for the predictive portion. How should Agile iterations be represented in EVM reporting?

    Answer: Completed story points can be mapped to planned value for EVM integration

    Story points or feature completions can be translated into planned value metrics, allowing EVM integration in hybrid environments.

  6. Which Agile principle from the Agile Manifesto emphasizes delivering working software as the primary measure of progress?

    Answer: Working software over comprehensive documentation

    The Agile Manifesto states that working software is the primary measure of progress, shifting focus from plans and documents to functional deliverables.

  7. What is the purpose of a 'Scrum of Scrums' in a scaled Agile environment?

    Answer: To coordinate dependencies and impediments across multiple Scrum teams

    Scrum of Scrums is a coordination technique where representatives from multiple teams meet to manage cross-team dependencies and blockers.
