Question 1

A product owner must choose between two features: Feature A has an NPV of $120,000 and Feature B has an NPV of $95,000. Both take similar effort. Which should be prioritized?

Accepted Answer

Feature A, because it has the higher net present value

Answer

When effort is similar, the feature with the higher NPV delivers more value and should be prioritized.

Question 2

Which artifact best shows the planned order of releases and major capabilities over the next several quarters?

Accepted Answer

Product roadmap

Answer

A product roadmap shows the expected sequence of releases and major features over time.

Question 3

In a story map, what does the horizontal 'backbone' typically represent?

Accepted Answer

The sequence of user activities that make up the workflow

Answer

The backbone of a story map lists the user activities in narrative order, with detailed stories placed beneath them.

Question 4

A team uses 'cost of delay divided by job duration' to sequence work. What technique is this?

Accepted Answer

Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF)

Answer

WSJF ranks work by dividing cost of delay by job size or duration so that high-value, short jobs go first.

Question 5

Why do agile teams typically plan releases at a coarse level and iterations at a detailed level?

Accepted Answer

Because uncertainty is higher further in the future, so detail is added progressively

Answer

Rolling wave planning adds detail as work gets closer, because distant work is more uncertain.
