ACP ACP Team Performance and Collaboration 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the purpose of a team working agreement in agile?
- To assign blame when deadlines are missed
- To establish shared norms and expectations for how the team will collaborate (Correct answer)
- To document individual performance metrics
- To replace the project charter
Correct answer: To establish shared norms and expectations for how the team will collaborate
Working agreements are team-created guidelines that define how members will interact, communicate, and make decisions together.
Question 2: Which metric best measures a team's predictability in agile projects?
- Number of features completed in one sprint
- Velocity consistency over multiple sprints (Correct answer)
- Number of bugs found during testing
- Lines of code written per day
Correct answer: Velocity consistency over multiple sprints
Consistent velocity across sprints indicates a predictable, stable team capable of reliable forecasting and planning.
Question 3: What does the 'definition of done' (DoD) ensure for an agile team?
- Only the Product Owner decides when work is done
- A shared understanding of what criteria must be met before work is considered complete (Correct answer)
- Work is done when developers say it is
- Done means the code is written but not tested
Correct answer: A shared understanding of what criteria must be met before work is considered complete
The Definition of Done establishes consistent quality standards that all team members agree work must meet before it can be accepted.
Question 4: What is the role of a servant leader in an agile team?
- To micromanage team tasks
- To remove obstacles and support the team rather than directing their work (Correct answer)
- To report team performance to executives
- To assign user stories to developers
Correct answer: To remove obstacles and support the team rather than directing their work
Servant leadership in agile focuses on enabling team success by removing impediments, providing resources, and shielding the team from distractions.
Question 5: What agile technique involves two team members working on the same task simultaneously at one workstation?
- Mob programming
- Pair programming (Correct answer)
- Code review
- Test-driven development
Correct answer: Pair programming
Pair programming has two developers working together at one workstation, improving code quality and enabling real-time knowledge sharing.
Question 6: What is 'team velocity' primarily used for in agile planning?
- Measuring individual developer productivity
- Comparing teams against each other
- Forecasting how much work a team can complete in future sprints (Correct answer)
- Evaluating code quality
Correct answer: Forecasting how much work a team can complete in future sprints
Velocity measures the amount of work completed per sprint and is used to forecast future sprint capacity for planning purposes.
