  1. Which Lean principle focuses on eliminating activities that do not add value from the customer's perspective?

    Answer: Eliminate waste

    Eliminating waste (Muda) is a core Lean principle targeting non-value-adding activities such as overproduction, waiting, and unnecessary processing.

  2. In a hybrid project, a project manager uses Agile for software development but predictive planning for hardware procurement. What is the PRIMARY reason for this split?

    Answer: Hardware procurement has fixed requirements and long lead times unsuitable for iteration

    Hardware procurement typically involves stable specifications and long lead times, making it better suited to predictive planning than iterative Agile.

  3. What is the recommended minimum length of time for a Scrum Sprint according to the Scrum Guide?

    Answer: One week

    The Scrum Guide recommends Sprints be one week to one month in length, with one week being the practical minimum.

  4. A project team practices continuous integration (CI). What is the PRIMARY benefit of this Agile engineering practice?

    Answer: It detects integration errors quickly by merging code frequently

    CI integrates code changes frequently into a shared repository, triggering automated builds and tests to detect errors early.

  5. Which role in the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) framework is equivalent to the Scrum Master but with a broader coaching scope across the organization?

    Answer: Agile Coach

    In DAD, the Agile Coach role encompasses team-level facilitation and broader organizational coaching, extending beyond the Scrum Master's team-focused scope.

  6. An Agile team notices that user stories are consistently not completed within a Sprint. Which action should be taken FIRST?

    Answer: Review the sizing of stories and team capacity during Sprint Planning

    Reviewing story sizing and team capacity during Sprint Planning helps right-size commitments to match the team's actual velocity.

  7. In PMI's Agile Practice Guide, what term describes the Agile approach of delivering small, working pieces of value frequently?

    Answer: Iterative and incremental delivery

    Iterative and incremental delivery is the Agile approach of repeatedly refining work while delivering valuable, working software in small batches.
