  2. In the Spotify Model, what is an organizational unit called a 'Tribe'?

    Answer: A collection of Squads working in related areas, typically under 150 people

  3. An agile analyst is asked to apply the INVEST criteria to a user story. What does the 'N' in INVEST stand for?

    Answer: Negotiable

    The 'N' in INVEST stands for Negotiable, meaning a story's details should be open to discussion and collaborative refinement between the team and customer.

  4. Which of the following best describes a 'spike' in agile development?

    Answer: A time-boxed research or investigation task to reduce uncertainty before committing to a solution

  6. A team following ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven Development) would write acceptance tests at which point in the workflow?

    Answer: Before coding begins, as part of refining the requirements

    In ATDD, acceptance tests are written collaboratively before development starts, ensuring the team has a shared, testable understanding of the requirement.

  7. Which principle from the Agile Manifesto directly supports the use of short, iterative delivery cycles?

    Answer: Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months

    This Agile principle explicitly endorses frequent delivery of working software in short cycles, which is the foundation of iterative frameworks like Scrum.
