 Notes
When a conflict arises, and the team is unable to resolve it on their own, the scrum
master as a servant leader should step in and facilitate the discussion to ensure the
team members work with each other in a professional and collaborative manner

This is the correct explanation of continuous integration

The scrum master should contact the product owner and inform him of the team
members need for clarification. It would also be a good idea to remind the product
owner that regular and consistent feedback is an integral part of agile project success.

Monitoring and enhancing focus, personal safety, and communications within teams are
among the tasks agile leaders are expected to preform to improve team performance.

The team operates within a fixed iteration length and should not extend it. The team
should also maintain a sustainable pace.

Planning and estimating during a feasibility stage is focused on determining value to the
customers by asking questions like, ‚ÄúWhat should we build?‚ As the project
progresses past the feasibility stage, the cost, the budget, and the overall project
schedule become clearer and easier to control.

A team should not play it too safe. They should be open to discussing new approaches
and experiment since these innovations and changes may improve their performance.
The team should not just blindly introduce new process or change their existing one.
The team has to decide if and how the new testing methodology should be introduced
in the next iteration.
Adding WIP limits reduces waste and increases increase value being delivered.

There is no evidence that the team is indeed behind schedule. It is just the product
owner‚ concern. However, concerns should not be ignored. Therefore, the best course
of action for the scrum master to confirm or reject the concern of the product owner
and make sure that relevant information radiators are up to date.

Based on the information described in the question, there is no point to continue the
debate. This technical meeting is supposed to be the last meeting in the series. It was
time to make a decision. While not ideal, this answer is the best option among the
choice given.

‚ÄúCreating the product increment and working with the product owner‚ is the best
answer among the choices given, as it represents value to the customer and is aligned
with the Agile Manifesto value of creating working software and collaborating with the
customer (or with the product owner who is the voice of the customer).

A phased and gated approach is associated with Waterfall. Phases are strictly linear
sequences of activities to build a product or deliver a peoject.

Applying agile servant leadership principles to this situation, the first thing the agile
coach should do is to let the team resolve the issue by themselves in order for the team
to own the decision and be accountable for the outcome.

The reason for the customer‚ dissatisfaction was specifically inked to the
project‚ product component deliverables, which are the customer requirements. These
new team members mostly likely resisted changes in the initial customer requirements
because of their traditional/waterfall background and lack of understanding of basic
agile principles.
As team get larger, they need a heavyweight rather than a lightweight methodology.
For example, an 18 person team is larger than the optimal size (6 to 12) recommended
by agile best practices. Therefore, lighter-agile methodologies would not be very
effective.

XP teams use metaphors to describe their program or system‚ vision. It is an easy way to
communicate to all stakeholders how the system should work.

This choice accurately describes the main responsible of the product owner, scrum
master and development team members on a scrum team.

Agile teams should have dedicated team members. When a team member is not 100%
dedicated to the team, team velocities can not be accurately estimated.

Extreme Programming (XP) emphasizes the idea or whole team and generalizing
specialists. Often those most valuable on an XP team are who can develop, test, and
play other roles, and can switch responsibilities and tasks as the need arises. A team of
generalizing specialists has less of information and rarely has anyone waiting or idle.

Promoting sustainable development is the Agile Manifesto principle #8, which supports
work-life balance by maintaining regular 40-hour workweek.

By supporting the team, the agile coach will be demonstrating proper servant
leadership which encourages the team to experiment, improve, and achieve higher
levels of performance.

Questions related to the direction of the project, project schedule, and project budget
fall into the responsibility of the product owner, rather than the scrum master or the
development team members.
The sprint review meeting is a product-oriented meeting held at the sprint to
demonstrate product components completed within that iteration to the product
owner, customer and other interested stakeholders.

Daily stand-up meeting is a time-boxed event with a very clear agenda

‘Barely sufficient’ is the agile term used to describe the approach of doing only as
much as is necessary to accomplish the work without including non-value added
activities.

The third Kanban core principle is ‘manage flow’. Team should track the flow of
work items and measure for effectiveness, monitor the value currently flowing through
the system, and implement changes as needed

Agile Manifesto Principle #5

False, therefore correct. Agile methods are iterative and incremental. Agile
delivers increments to focus on the important features first and to deliver these
features to the customer sooner.

Teams should consider sharing ideas with trusted partiesperhaps get an expert
opinion or even at times, an external, more objective opinion.

Kanban boards are used to manage an Agile team's work in progress.

Retrospectives are team reflection points conducted at regular intervals. Daily
standups are used by Agile teams to communicate and make team
commitments. Backlog preparation and refinement are the activities conducted
jointly by Agile teams and the product owner to prioritize project deliverables by
the order of business value. This allows Agile teams to focus only on high-value
deliverables. [Agile Practice Guide, 1st edition, Page 98]

The rule of engagement, also known as ground rules or working agreements,

provide structure and boundaries for how team members are expected to treat
each other. They serve in relationship building, practice definition, and decision
making
Agile uses leadership instead of management to guide and govern. Leadership is
about tapping into people‚ intrinsic motivations. As leaders, agile practitioners
need to know what motivates the members of the team. Therefore, it is
reasonable that the team leader meet with the team member and try to
determine what motivates this individual.

Agile teams use sprint retrospective meetings where they reflect on the work
processes used in the latest sprint and determine how to improve or adapt
processes for the next sprint.
The scrum value of commitment states ‘Because we have great control over
our own destiny, we are more committed to success‚

Wireframes assist the project‚ development by laying out content and

functionality so the project has a visual structure and basis for development.

On an Extreme Programming software development team who owns the code?

The sprint retrospective meeting is held by scrum team at the end of each sprint
to discuss and agree upon ways they could improve their processes, practices,
teamwork, environment, or organization for the next sprint.

The daily scrum meeting should not be used to address and resolve problems or
to remove roadblocks but only to identify them and place them on a list to be
discussed in the parking lot after the daily scrum meeting has been completed.

For the situation described, Focus has the largest impact on the value of the
product delivered to the client
Customer collaboration form the basis for joint decision-making and establishes
connections between the customer and the development team to ensure the
customer receives the intended benefits of the project.

Given the project has lost resources, it is unlikely that all of the features or user
stories will be able to be completed within the established timeline. Taking the
time to reprioritize the remaining features is an agile best practice whenever
scope, resources, or deadline changes.

While it is advisable to assign a unique scrum master to each scrum team, it is

acceptable to allow a scrum master to assist multiple teams if it does not impose
an undue burden on the scrum master or any of the teams.

Agile leaders influence their teams and facilitate the work to help set direction
and provide guidance, while command and control top-down managers tend to
dictate the work and demand results.

Kanban method does not have time-boxed events, and the work items are pulled
by the team members.

Obtaining feedback during product review is the best way of determining if

team‚ effort adds value and is to the customer‚ satisfaction.

Contacting the sponsor would be the best action for the scrum master to take in
order to explain to the sponsor how agile works and what is the right way to get
the project details.
The product owner needs to be educated on the importance of participating in
the team‚ events. As the customer representative, the product owner needs to be
involved to ensure success in the project.

Of the choices provided, this answer represents the best course of action for the
agile coach to take.

An example pf partially done work in software development can be completed

requirements waiting for design and coding, or code waiting for testing. Code
waiting for testing is the situation described in the question. Therefore, this option
is the best answer choice.
