Read the first 7 Scaling Agile Frameworks flashcards as text

  1. In the context of scaling agile, what is a 'Dependency' and how does DA recommend handling cross-team dependencies?

    Answer: A dependency is work that one team needs from another; DA recommends visualizing and actively managing them

    Cross-team dependencies represent work one team needs from another, and DA recommends making them visible and actively managing them to avoid delays.

  2. Which scaling framework explicitly uses 'Inspect and Adapt' (I&A) workshops at the Program Increment boundary?

    Answer: SAFe

    SAFe's Inspect and Adapt (I&A) workshop occurs at the end of each PI and includes a quantitative measurement, problem-solving workshop, and improvement backlog items.

  3. A DAC coach is working with an organization that has 25 teams. Which DA layer of the architecture is most relevant for governing this scale of work?

    Answer: Portfolio Layer

    The Portfolio Layer in DA governs investment decisions, strategy alignment, and oversight for large-scale programs involving many teams.

  4. What is the key distinction between 'Scrum@Scale' and 'Nexus' when scaling Scrum?

    Answer: Nexus adds a Nexus Integration Team for cross-team coordination; Scrum@Scale scales fractally using Scrum of Scrums networks

    Nexus introduces a Nexus Integration Team to ensure integrated increments, while Scrum@Scale uses a fractal network of Scrum of Scrums and Executive Action Teams.

  5. In DA's approach to scaling, what does 'Architectural Runway' mean in the context of a large solution?

    Answer: Pre-built infrastructure and frameworks that enable near-term feature development without excessive re-work

    Architectural Runway refers to existing code, components, and technical infrastructure sufficient to implement near-term features without significant delays or rework.

  6. Which of the following best describes a 'Communities of Practice (CoP)' in a scaled DA environment?

    Answer: A voluntary group of practitioners who share expertise and improve practices across teams

    Communities of Practice are voluntary groups where practitioners with shared interests collaborate to improve skills and disseminate knowledge across multiple teams.

  7. When scaling agile using DA, the 'Release on Demand' capability is most associated with which technical practice?

    Answer: Continuous Delivery pipeline automation enabling deployment at any time

    Release on Demand relies on a Continuous Delivery pipeline that automates build, test, and deployment, enabling the business to release at any point.
