✍️ Sample Agile Project Management Questions & Answers

1. What is the recommended size range for a Scrum development team?
✓ 3 to 9 members

Scrum recommends roughly 3 to 9 developers to stay small enough for agility but large enough to deliver value.

2. Who decides how to turn Product Backlog items into a working Increment during the Sprint?
✓ The Developers

The Developers are self-managing and decide how the work gets done.

3. Which of the following best describes Story Points?
✓ A relative unit of measure for the effort required to implement a work item.

Story points are a relative measure of the effort needed to complete a user story. This 'effort' includes the complexity of the task, the amount of work involved, and any risk or uncertainty. They are intentionally abstract and not tied to specific hours or days to avoid the pitfalls of absolute time-based estimation.

4. The Agile principle of 'Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential' primarily encourages teams to:
✓ Focus on delivering the simplest solution that meets the immediate need.

This principle is about avoiding over-engineering and 'gold-plating'. It encourages the team to build exactly what is needed to deliver value now, rather than building complex solutions for problems that may not exist in the future. It's about efficiency and focusing on the highest value features.

5. Which estimation technique uses cards with values like 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13?
✓ Planning Poker

Planning Poker uses Fibonacci-like cards for team-based relative estimation.

6. What is psychological safety in the context of Agile teams?
✓ The belief that team members will not be punished for speaking up with ideas, questions, or mistakes

Psychological safety is the shared belief that the team environment is safe for interpersonal risk-taking, enabling honest communication and learning.
