Which of the following is NOT one of DA's primary team-level life cycles?
Answer: Waterfall
DA does not include a traditional Waterfall life cycle; its life cycles are Agile, Lean, Exploratory, Program, Continuous Delivery: Agile, and Continuous Delivery: Lean.
Feature-Driven Development (FDD) organizes work primarily around:
Answer: Client-valued features decomposed from a domain object model
FDD builds features derived from a domain object model, organizing development around small, client-valued functional units rather than user stories or sprints.
In DA, the 'Disciplined Agile Senior Scrum Master (DASSM)' role is closest to which SAFe role?
Answer: Release Train Engineer (RTE)
The DASSM facilitates coordination across teams similarly to SAFe's Release Train Engineer, who serves and facilitates the Agile Release Train.
When a DA team selects the Continuous Delivery: Lean life cycle, what is their primary delivery goal?
Answer: Deploy to production multiple times per day on demand
The Continuous Delivery: Lean life cycle targets on-demand, multiple-times-per-day production deployments using automated pipelines and pull-based flow.
In DA's process goal framework, what is the purpose of a 'process goal'?
Answer: To describe a desired outcome while offering multiple practice options to achieve it
DA process goals describe what needs to be achieved (the outcome) and list multiple practice options teams can choose from, supporting context-sensitive decisions.
The Scrumban approach is best described as:
Answer: A hybrid combining Scrum's iterations with Kanban's flow and WIP limits
Scrumban blends Scrum's cadence-based ceremonies with Kanban's visual flow management and WIP limits for teams transitioning between the two.
Which statement accurately describes how DA handles the concept of 'good enough' governance?
Answer: DA tailors governance to context, applying just enough oversight to manage risk without creating waste
DA promotes 'light but sufficient' governance, scaling oversight based on risk, team maturity, and organizational context to avoid bureaucratic waste.
