THE ANAPLAN WAY EXAM PREP 2026/2027: COMPLETE 200-QUESTION PRACTICE EXAM WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS, RATIONALES, AND FULL TOPIC BREAKDOWN – COVERS PROCESS, DATA, MODEL, DEPLOYMENT CORNERSTONES; FRONT-TO-BACK DESIGN (WIREFRAMES, USER STORIES, MODEL SCHEMA); DISCO (DATA/INPUT, SYSTEM/CALCULATION, OUTPUT); MODEL ARCHITECTURE (SHARED LISTS, MODULES, APPS/UX); SPRINT PLANNING (EFFORT ESTIMATION, 4 SPRINTS OF 2-3 WEEKS); PLANNING POKER (TEAM ENGAGEMENT, DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES) – GRADED A+ | 1. Which of the following is NOT one of the four cornerstones of The Anaplan Way as described in the provided study material? A) Process B) Data C) Model D) Deployment Correct Answer: A) Process Rationale: The four cornerstones are Data, Model, and Deployment. "Process" is not a cornerstone; it is the overarching methodology that guides the use of the other three. ________________________________________ 2. What is the primary purpose of a front-to-back design process? A) To create a detailed financial budget. B) To understand the high-level business requirements from the SOW. C) To write code for the Anaplan model. D) To finalize the deployment schedule. Correct Answer: B) To understand the high-level business requirements for the model (in the SOW). Rationale: The front-to-back design process starts with understanding the high-level business requirements as defined in the Statement of Work (SOW). ________________________________________ 3. According to the study guide, how many user stories can one typically expect in a release? A) 25 - 50 B) 50 - 75 C) 75 - 125 D) 150 - 200 Correct Answer: C) 75 - 125 Rationale: The material explicitly states that one can expect between 75 and 125 user stories in a release. ________________________________________ 4. The components of model architecture are: Shared Dimensions and Lists, Modules, and what else? A) Data Hub B) Apps and UX pages C) Integration Scripts D) Calculation Engine Correct Answer: B) Apps and UX pages Rationale: The three components are identified as Shared dimensions and lists (Central Library), Modules (Engine), and Apps and UX pages (User experience). ________________________________________ 5. When applying the DISCO method to modules, how are "Input" modules categorized? A) Data, Input B) System, Calculation C) Output D) App, UX Correct Answer: A) Data, Input Rationale: According to the DISCO method, Input modules are categorized under "Data, Input". ________________________________________ 6. What is the first step in creating a model schema? A) Determine the dimensions and data flows. B) Determine how to transform inputs into outputs. C) Determine what output modules are necessary. D) Create wireframes. Correct Answer: C) Determine what output modules are necessary. Rationale: The process for creating a model schema begins with determining what output modules are necessary. ________________________________________ 7. Which tool is mentioned as a possible option for creating a model schema? A) Microsoft Excel B) Lucidchart C) PowerPoint D) Anaplan's built-in Schema Builder Correct Answer: B) Lucidchart Rationale: The material specifically mentions that you "can use Lucidchart" to create a model schema. ________________________________________ 8. What are the two factors considered when estimating effort for sprint planning? A) User story priority and team size. B) Build complexity and time intensity. C) Number of sprints and release date. D) Budget and resources. Correct Answer: B) Build complexity and time intensity. Rationale: Sprint planning involves estimating effort by factoring in both the build complexity and the time intensity. ________________________________________ 9. What is the standard approach to estimating effort in Agile methodology, as mentioned in the text? A) T-Shirt Sizing B) The Fibonacci Sequence C) Planning Poker D) Affinity Estimation Correct Answer: C) Planning Poker Rationale: The study guide states that "Planning poker is the standard approach to estimating effort in the Agile methodology." ________________________________________ 10. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of planning poker? A) Build team engagement B) Fast, single-person decision making C) Diverse perspectives D) Collaborative estimation Correct Answer: B) Fast, single-person decision making Rationale: The benefits mentioned are building team engagement and gaining diverse perspectives. It is a collaborative process, not a single-person decision. ________________________________________ 11. In the front-to-back design process, what is the first of the three steps? A) Capture user stories and success criteria. B) Create a model schema. C) Create wireframes of the User Interface for the roles. D) Establish how data flows through the model. Correct Answer: C) Create wireframes of the User Interface for the roles that will be using the model. Rationale: The first step is to "Create wireframes of the User Interface for the roles that will be using the model." ________________________________________ 12. Which module type in the DISCO method is classified as "System, Calculation"? A) Input modules B) Output modules
