Read the first 7 Agile Frameworks and Methodologies flashcards as text

  1. In SAFe, what is the purpose of an 'Enabler' story or epic?

    Answer: To support the technical or architectural work needed to enable future business features

    Enablers address infrastructure, architecture, exploration, and compliance work that supports the delivery of future business features but may not be directly customer-visible.

  2. Which Agile methodology prescribes roles of 'Coach,' 'Project Manager,' and 'Technical Lead' as its primary team roles?

    Answer: Crystal

    Crystal defines roles including Coach (facilitator), Project Manager (coordinator), and Technical Lead/Developer, varying slightly by Crystal variant.

  3. What is the main purpose of the 'spike' in Agile frameworks?

    Answer: A time-boxed research or prototyping activity to reduce uncertainty before committing to a solution

    A spike is a time-boxed investigation — writing throwaway code or research — to answer a specific question or estimate effort when the team faces high uncertainty.

  4. In the context of DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method), what does the MoSCoW prioritization technique help teams decide?

    Answer: Which requirements Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have in the current delivery

    MoSCoW categorizes requirements into Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have, enabling teams to deliver the highest-priority features within a fixed timeframe.

  5. When comparing Scrum and SAFe, which event in SAFe is most analogous to Scrum's Sprint Review?

    Answer: System Demo

    The SAFe System Demo, held at the end of each iteration, serves as the ART-level equivalent of Scrum's Sprint Review, demonstrating integrated working software to stakeholders.

  6. In LeSS Huge (for very large organizations), what role is added that does not exist in standard LeSS?

    Answer: Area Product Owner

    LeSS Huge introduces Area Product Owners who are responsible for a subset of the product (a Requirement Area) and report to the overall Product Owner.

  7. What is the primary metric used in Kanban to measure the average time a work item spends in the system from start to finish?

    Answer: Cycle time

    Cycle time measures how long it takes to complete a work item once work has actually started, making it a key flow efficiency metric in Kanban.
