Question 18:

The team has been working hard throughput the sprint, but time is running out. It's Wednesday, the sprint review is scheduled for Friday, and it looks like the team won't be able to finish everything they planned. What should they do?

Negotiate a sprint completion bonus to motivate the team to finish on time

Ask the lab manager to hire contractors to help

Question 19;

In the DAD framework, the Production Ready milestone demonstrates that the solution has met the stakeholders' conditions of acceptance, while the Stakeholder Delight milestone check to determine if stakeholders are delighted with the:

Initial solution

Project vision

Released solution

Release plan

Workspace environment

Move lower-priority user stories from the sprint backlog to the product backlog

Re-schedule the sprint review for next Friday

Focus on coding and leave the testing for next week

Question 20:

The agile project has been going well and the team has just completed the fourth iteration. At the last sprint review one of the key stakeholders has proposed a new feature that is outside the scope of the initial vision statement for the project and would require a significant amount of work. What is the best way for the team to handle this?

Terminate the project, go back to the Inception Phase, and write a new vision statement that includes the new feature

Explain that the new feature does not address the business issues identified in the original scope, and offer to include this new feature in the next release

Designate one member of the development team to start a parallel effort to find a way to work the new feature into the solution

Log the new feature request but do nothing about it, hoping the stakeholder will forget about it later

Ask the lab manager to hire some additional programmers

Question 21:

If an agile development team has already been doing testing during each sprint, why should they consider using parallel independent testing?

To identify potential defects that have fallen through the cracks

Testing may sometimes be omitted from a sprint if the team runs out of time

The defects found by independent testing are submitted to the continuous engineering team

Software developers are not trained to perform tests

The testing during a construction sprint does not happen in a production environment that simulates the conditions that customers will encounter

Question 22:

During the sprint planning meeting before the third iteration, Roger, an experienced and productive member of the development team, reveals that he has several important administrative and training meetings he must attend, and this reduces the number of hours per day he can spend on the project. What should the scrum master do?

Tell Roger that the project should be his first priority and that he is not permitted to attend the administrative and training meetings

Ask Roger to designate a substitute who can fill-in for him during his absence

Ask the lab director to find a permanent replacement for Roger

Give Roger permission to attend the meetings, but insist that he make up the time using overtime and weekends if necessary

Make a note of the actual number of hours available for project work for Roger
