COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
VERIFIED A+
◉ Alex is leading a new project within her organization. She works
to define the requirements of time, scope, and cost early on. She is
also proactive in mitigating scope creep as much as possible during
project execution. What development approach was best utilized for
this project?
A. Predictive approach
B. Hybrid approach
C. Operational approach
D. Adaptive approach
Answer: Correct answer: Predictive approach
A predictive approach is utilized when the project and product
requirements can be defined, collected, and analyzed at the
beginning stages of the project. A predictive approach is often
known as the waterfall approach. In this type of project approach,
there is often a high level of risk that may require recurring reviews,
change control mechanisms, and replanning. There is also a
significant investment that is involvement. Scope schedule, cost,
resources, and risk are defined at the beginning of the project and
,are often quite stable. Projects that use this approach oftentimes
may have templates from similarly executed projects in the past.
◉ You have been asked to join a meeting with the product manager
regarding the status of a procurement item. They asked you to
provide an explanation of a reason for a lead time regarding a
particular server to be installed. Lead time is one of the
measurements used by flow-based Agile teams.
Lead time can be defined by which of the following?
A. Time required to process an item and the response time it took
for the team to complete the item
B. Cycle time it took to complete the item from the time the
customer requested the item until release
C. Time that an item waits on the prioritized product backlog until
work is commenced on the item
D. Time it took to deliver an item from the time it was added to the
board to the time it was delivered
Answer: Correct answer: Time it took to deliver an item, from the
time it was added to the board, to the time it was delivered.
Lead time is "the total time it takes to deliver an item, measured
from the time it is added to the board to the moment it's completed,"
according to the Agile Practice Guide. Lead time is one of the
measures to track team performance and can include external
,dependencies that can have an impact on delivery after the
development work is complete.
◉ Bob has just finished the first phase of the project. He coordinates
with the development team to attend a meeting where they talk
about the good, the bad, and the takeaways of their effort for this
phase. The information they gather will be used to improve future
phases' work. What type of meeting does this best describe?
A. Lessons learned meeting
B. Kickoff meeting
C. Bidder conference
D. Phase planning
Answer: Correct answer: Lessons learned meeting.
The lessons learned meeting is used to identify and share the
knowledge gained during a project, phase, or iteration. The intent of
this meeting is to improve project team performance. The lessons
learned meeting can address situations that could have been
handled better, alongside good practices that illustrate favorable
outcomes. Lessons learned are information that illustrates negative
and positive experiences toward the project.
◉ Elijah is in a meeting with his project team and is asked about the
staffing issues on the project team. He tells the team that he already
, knows about the issues, but he's not going to do anything about it
and that his decision is final. Which conflict resolution technique
does this best represent?
A. Withdraw/avoid
B. Collaborate/problem solve
C. Compromise/reconcile
D. Force/direct
Answer: Correct answer: Force/direct.
There are five general techniques for resolving conflict. Each
technique has its unique place and use:
- Force/direct: Pushing one's viewpoint at the expense of others;
offering only win-lose solutions, usually enforced through a power
position. This is often a win-lose situation.
Withdraw/avoid: Retreating from an actual or potential conflict
situation; postponing the issue to be better prepared or to be
resolved by others.
- Smooth/accommodate: Highlighting areas of agreement rather
than areas of difference; conceding one's position to the needs of
others to maintain harmony.
- Compromise/reconcile: Searching for solutions that bring some
degree of satisfaction to all parties to temporarily or partially
resolve the conflict. This is generally a lose-lose situation.
