  1. An Agile Release Train in SAFe has just completed a Program Increment. Which event allows teams to inspect their practices and identify process improvements at the ART level?

    Answer: Inspect and Adapt (I&A) Workshop

    The Inspect and Adapt (I&A) Workshop is a SAFe event held at the end of each PI where the entire ART reviews performance and identifies systemic improvements through structured problem-solving.

  2. Which statement correctly describes the difference between 'velocity' in Scrum and 'throughput' in Kanban?

    Answer: Velocity counts story points completed per sprint; throughput counts items completed per time period

    Scrum velocity is the sum of story points completed in a sprint, while Kanban throughput is the count of work items delivered per unit of time—both help with forecasting but use different units.

  3. A team practicing Extreme Programming (XP) wants to ensure that any team member can work on any part of the codebase. Which XP practice directly supports this goal?

    Answer: Collective Code Ownership

    Collective Code Ownership in XP means any developer can change any part of the code at any time, eliminating knowledge silos and bottlenecks caused by individual ownership.

  4. In a hybrid Agile environment where Scrum is combined with Kanban (often called 'Scrumban'), which feature is typically borrowed from Kanban?

    Answer: WIP limits applied to the sprint board

    Scrumban typically adopts Kanban's WIP limits onto the Scrum sprint board to improve flow and prevent overloading team members mid-sprint.

  5. Which principle from the Agile Manifesto directly supports the practice of delivering working software in short iterations?

    Answer: Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software

    The first Agile Manifesto principle explicitly prioritizes early and continuous delivery of valuable software as the primary means of satisfying customers.

  6. A product manager is choosing between Scrum and a flow-based Kanban approach for a support team handling unpredictable incoming requests. Which framework is typically more appropriate and why?

    Answer: Kanban, because it handles continuous, unpredictable demand better than fixed-length sprints

    Kanban's continuous flow model without fixed sprints is better suited to support work where requests arrive unpredictably and must be handled as they come rather than batched into iterations.

  7. In the Nexus framework for scaling Scrum, what is the primary role of the Nexus Integration Team?

    Answer: To coordinate integration, resolve dependencies, and ensure a releasable integrated increment

    The Nexus Integration Team is accountable for coaching teams, reducing cross-team dependencies, and ensuring that the combined work of 3-9 Scrum teams produces a fully integrated increment each sprint.
