Domain#5 Adaptive Planning Mike Griffith

Your team has just discovered that your story point has drifted. What should you do next?

• Re-estimate the product backlog.
• Perform Fishbone Analysis to find the root cause.
• Use affinity estimating to compare all the estimates made so far.
• Postpone the next sprint and instead perform a spike to resolve the issue.

The team is slicing their user stories. What are they doing?

• Sizing stories for the next iteration
• Gathering user requirements
• Estimatinghow much they can get done in the next iteration
• Dividing stories into pieces that can be completed in one iteration

The PMO wants to have a copy of your project plan. What will you send them?

• A copy of your product roadmap
• The team's requirements hierarchy
• A photo of the team's Kanban board
• Your user story backlog

The product owner has told the team how much work will need to be completed in the next iteration. In this scenario:

• The iteration planning process is proceeding smoothly.
• The product owner is overstepping their role.
• The product owner is taking over the Scrum Master's responsibilities for planning.
• The team should claim more responsibility for planning in their next retrospective.

Your team has decided they need an Iteration 0 before starting the development work. Why?

• To set up the build server for the project
• To practice working together and get through the Storming stage before the real work starts
• To hold planning poker sessions to estimate the user stories
• To minimize as many of the project risks as possible before development begins

The team believes that it will take 15 hours of effort to write the user guide for the new product they are building. What should their estimate be for that task?

• 15 hours
• 18 hours, to add a buffer for distractions and availability issues
• 12 hours, since teams tend to over estimate how long a task will take
• 12 to 18 hours

Your team members are estimating their tasks. What process are they engaged in?

• Release planning
• Progressive elaboration
• Iteration planning
• High-level visioning

In the daily stand-ups, the team coach should:

• Schedule and facilitatethe meeting.
• Let the team members resolvetheir own conflicts.
• Listen and note any problems for immediate follow-up.
• Ask questions to determine the root cause of any problems that are raised.

We can say that an iteration demo is successful if ______

• The product got shipped and the team would work the same way again.
• The customer accepts the minimal viable product that has been built.
• A gulf of evaluation is cleared up.
• The product owner says the product increment is done.

Your lead engineer just came down with the measles in the middle of a sprint. As team coach, what should you do?

• Call his functional manager and request a new lead engineer for your team
• Ask the team how much of the planned work can be done.
• Ask everyone else to work overtime.
• Postpone the release date.
