The director for this project has been with the company for decades. This
director started out as a developer in a programming language called Fortran.
Now the team is using a newer language called Python. When you meet with
the director they say, "we could do that in Fortran, but I'm not sure it could be
done in Python." After a few failed meetings you want to meet directly with the
development team so that they can answer your questions. What's the key
challenge you're trying to overcome? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔No director could
specialize in all the technology that goes into a modern software product
Explanation: Modern software projects require many developers with a variety
of different skills. It's very unlikely that anyone manager will be able to master
all of the skills of the developers on the team. So here the manager might want
to encourage the team to self-organize and come up with solutions.

the cone of uncertainty, but unfortunately that's when you know the least

the cone, it becomes more expensive to make changes, but at the same time the
team becomes clearer on how it will deliver the product.
You're just starting out as a product owner for an agile team. The first week a
project manager gives you a bulleted list of project requirements. She says,
"why don't you copy this into a spreadsheet, and then we'll use it for the
product backlog?" This is a good example of: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Approaching agile

from other software development practices that encourage teams to work on
what's most technically challenging or take the longest to develop. Agile teams

functions and features by customer value.
In a meeting, your managing director passes out a copy of the Agile Manifesto.
They said that agile teams are better at developing software. So you should
read the printout and then work together as an agile team. What's one of the
challenges with this approach? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The Agile Manifesto describes a
mindset and not a practical way of working
Explanation: The Agile Manifesto is written in a way that encourages teams to
embrace a certain mindset. It doesn't outline a practical way of working like you
see in project management or manufacturing.

Agile teams often work in two-week "Sprints." What's one of the main
justifications for having such a short iteration of work? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A short
Sprint helps the team develop smaller batches of work
Explanation: It's easier for the team to avoid multitasking if they focus on a
smaller batch of work. Agile teams typically work in two-week Sprints. During
that time, the team should completely focus on delivering the work they
commited to during their planning.
On an agile team it's usually better to have a team of generalists than one of
specialists.
