  1. In the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), what event synchronizes all teams on an ART and plans the next Program Increment?

    Answer: PI Planning

    PI Planning is a cadence-based, face-to-face event in SAFe where all ART teams align on objectives for the next Program Increment.

  2. In LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum), how many Product Owners are there for multiple teams working on the same product?

    Answer: One overall Product Owner

    LeSS prescribes a single Product Owner for the entire product, regardless of how many development teams are involved.

  3. Which Agile estimation technique uses story points derived from the Fibonacci sequence to account for uncertainty?

    Answer: Planning Poker

    Planning Poker uses cards with Fibonacci-like values (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…) and team consensus to estimate relative story size.

  4. In Crystal methodology, what primarily determines which Crystal variant (Clear, Yellow, Orange, Red) a project uses?

    Answer: Team size and criticality of the system

    Crystal selects its variant based on team size and the potential damage if the system fails (criticality), ranging from comfort loss to life risk.

  5. What does the term 'Minimum Viable Product' (MVP) mean in an Agile context?

    Answer: The smallest product with enough features to satisfy early adopters and gather feedback

    An MVP is the smallest version of a product that delivers enough value to early customers to validate key assumptions and gather learning.

  6. Which XP practice requires that all code must pass automated tests before it can be integrated into the main codebase?

    Answer: Test-driven development

    Test-driven development (TDD) requires writing a failing test first, then writing only enough code to pass it, ensuring code always meets its tests.

  7. In Scrum, who is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the Scrum Team's work?

    Answer: Product Owner

    The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing product value and managing the Product Backlog, including ordering items by business priority.
