What are the benefits of organizing teams around Features?

• Teams can avoid decomposing Features into Stones
• There are fewer dependencies between teams
• It enables specialized skill sets to be used
• It eliminates the need for a dependency board

What are two ways a Scrum Master promotes T-shaped skill development across the team? (Choose two.)

• By having team members pair when working on Stories
• By requesting the Managers add skills training to the team members' development plans
• By having teams swap one of their members every other Iteration for cross-training
• By delivering cross-functional skills training
• By defining Stories that need cross-functional skills for the team to implement

Three teams in the Agile Release Train are working on the same Feature. Team A is a complicated subsystem team, and Teams B and C are stream-aligned teams. During PI Planning, Teams B and C committed to delivering their part of the Feature by the end of Iteration five and plan to integrate with each other along with Team A's piece in the first week of the IP Iteration. Why is this an anti- pattern?

• Because Product Management accepted each team's final plan at the end of PI Planning Day 2
• Because each feature team needs to integrate with the component team
• Because the teams managed their dependencies and planned their integration timing during PIPlanning
• Because work should not be planned for the IP Iteration

A team consistently receives defect reports from production even though each Story is thoroughly tested. What is the first step to solve this problem?

• Invest in better Story and unit-test automation
• Represent a strict definition of done
• Ensure that development and testing environments are equivalent to production
• Create a story dependency with the systems team to collaborate on deployment

Why is the program predictability measure the primary Metric used during the quantitative measurement part of the Inspect and Adapt event?

• To measure the predictability of business value delivered in the PI timebox
• To predict the scope of the remaining requirements in the Program Backlog
• To forecast when remaining features could be delivered to customers
• To match customer demand to the Agile Release Train's velocity

What are two timestamps required to measure lead time when using a Team Kanban board? (Choose two.)

• When the Story is released to users and validated
• When the Story is deployed
• When the Agile Team pulls a Story onto the board
• When the Story is accepted by the Product Owner
• When the team completes validation of the Story

What is a Product Owner (PO) anti-pattern in Iteration planning?

• The PO introduces the business intent to the team for the first time
• The PO changes priorities of the already refined intent
• The PO brings in changes to the planned Features based on stakeholder feedback from the System Demo
• The PO asks the team for recommendations on Story slicing

What is one problem with phase-gate Milestones?

• They assume a point Solution exists and can be built right the first time
• They force design decisions too late in the process
• They account for variability inherent in the process
• They require the Product Owner to act as gatekeeper or guardian of the process

What does a Scrum Master support in order to help the team improve and take responsibility for their actions?

• Building a high-performing team
• A team's efforts in relentless improvement
• Increasing Quality practices
• Invest in architectural runway

What is the primary measurement during Inspect and Adapt?

• Program predictability measure
• Team NPS score
• Number of Features delivered
• Number of automated tests
