CAD Agile Metrics and Reporting

Question 1

Which agile metric measures the number of story points a team completes in a single sprint?

Accepted Answer

Velocity

Answer

Velocity measures the amount of work (in story points) a team completes per sprint, used to forecast future delivery capacity.

Question 2

A burndown chart tracks which of the following over time?

Accepted Answer

Remaining work versus time elapsed in the sprint

Answer

A burndown chart plots remaining work (story points or tasks) on the Y-axis against time remaining in the sprint on the X-axis.

Question 3

What does 'cycle time' measure in an agile context?

Accepted Answer

Time from when work begins on an item to when it is delivered

Answer

Cycle time is the elapsed time from when a team starts actively working on an item to when it is completed and delivered.

Question 4

A Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) is primarily used to visualize which aspect of a team's workflow?

Accepted Answer

Work item flow through each stage of the process over time

Answer

A CFD shows the quantity of work in each workflow state (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done) over time, making bottlenecks and flow problems visible.

Question 5

If a team's velocity varies significantly from sprint to sprint, the BEST initial action is to:

Accepted Answer

Investigate and address root causes such as scope changes or team instability

Answer

High velocity variance signals underlying problems like frequent scope changes or team disruptions; identifying root causes leads to sustainable improvement.
