Agile Practice Study Guide Latest
Updated
Definable work - ANS-project characterized by clear procedure that have proved
successful on similar projects. (I.E the production of a car)
Exploratory work - ANS-Work that involves problem solving and a subject matter expert
to create a solution. (ie. Doctors)
Agile approaches were created to? - ANS-Explore feasibility in short cycles and quickly
adapt based on evaluation feedback
___________ are rapidly changing the playing field by decreasing the barriers to entry -
ANS-Disruptive Technologies
Our highest priority is to - ANS-satisfy the customer through early & continuous delivery
of valuable Software
Agile is - ANS-A mindset defined by values, guided by principles and manifested
through many different practices
Agile practitioners select practices based on - ANS-their needs
The Agile Movement was formalized when? - ANS-In 2001 with the publication of the
manifesto for agile software development
What are the 4 Agile Values - ANS-1. individuals & interactions over processes & tools
2. Working software over comprehensive documentation
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
4. Responding to change over following a plan
What is the highest priority in the 12 clarifying principles - ANS-satisfy the customer
through early & continuous delivery of valuable software
2nd clarifying principle - ANS-welcoming change, even late in development. Agile
processes harness change for the customers competitive advantage
3rd Clarifying principle - ANS-Delver working software frequently, from a few weeks to a
few months with a preference to the shorter timescale
, 4th Clarifying principle - ANS-Business People & Developers must work together daily
in order to get through the project
5th Clarifying Principle - ANS-Build your projects around motivated people and create
the environment and support they need to get the job done
6th Clarifying Principle - ANS-Face to face conversation is the most efficient and
effective way to convey information
7th Clarifying Principle - ANS-The primary measure of progress is working software
8th Clarifying Principle - ANS-Agile processes promotion sustainable development. All
user should be able to maintain a constant pace
9th Clarifying Principle - ANS-Continuous attention to technical excellence and good
design enhances agility
10th Clarifying Principle - ANS-Simplicity is essential
11th Clarifying Principle - ANS-The best architectures, requirements and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams
12th Clarifying Principle - ANS-You should have regular intervals to discuss process
and because more effective or adjust behavior
Is agile and approach, a method, a practice, a technique or a framework? - ANS-Any or
all of these terms work depending on the situation
1st strategy to fulfill agile values and principle is? - ANS-to adopt a formal agile
approach then take time to learn and understand the agile approaches before changing
or tailoring them
2nd strategy to fulfill agile values and principle is? - ANS-implement changes to project
practices in a manner that fits the project context to achieve progress on a core value or
principle. (ex. dividing up a project into several releases and implement changes that
help the successfulness)
_________ and ______ are the descendants of lean thinking - ANS-Agile & Kanban
Method
The Kanban Method is inspired by - ANS-lean-manufacturing and emerged in the mid
2000s as an alternative to the agile methods
Which Method is less disruptive, Kanban or Agile? - ANS-Kanban
