B. Affinity groups

C. Lean groups

D. Pareto groups.

Answer: B - When you divide the team into small groups and keep the people who worked closely

B. Showed “Attention to detail” as a value instead of showing “Individuals and Interactions”.

C. Showed “Customer collaboration” as a value instead of showing “Contract negotiation”.

D. Showed “Working software” as a value instead of showing “Individuals and Interactions”.

value in many situations, the role of the project manager has not been clearly articulated in many
Agile frameworks. Many Agile frameworks and approaches do not address the role of the project
manager. [Agile Practice Guide, 1st edition, Page 37] [Agile Principles and Mindset]

Question - 4

Q. Forecasting velocity based on the observed velocity on a project generally produces reliable
estimates. If the project team has completed its first three iterations and the observed velocity was
20 story points per iteration (on average), what would be a reasonable estimate of velocity for the
fourth iteration?

A. 12 to 32 story points per iteration.

B. 17 to 23 story points per iteration.

C. 16 to 25 story points per iteration.

D. 18 to 22 story points per iteration.

Answer: B - The cone of uncertainty can be used to calculate the ranges of the estimates. If the team
has completed the first iteration, the multipliers are 0.6 and 1.6. If the team has completed two
iterations, the multipliers are 0.8 and 1.25. If the team has completed three iterations, the
multipliers are 0.85 and 1.15. [Cohn, M., 2006. Agile Estimating and Planning. 1st ed. Massachusetts:
Pearson Education. Page 178] [Team Performance]

A. The WIP limits are shown in the “Ready” column.

B. The WIP limits are shown in the “Done” column.

C. The WIP limits are shown against each work item.

column. [Agile Practice Guide, 1st edition, Page 66] [Value driven Delivery]
