Read the first 7 Governance, Compliance, and Continuous Improvement flashcards as text

  1. A highly regulated financial firm adopts DA. How should the team handle mandatory external audit requirements?

    Answer: Embed compliance activities as work items within the team's backlog and WoW

    DA encourages embedding compliance requirements directly into the team's backlog and way of working so they become part of normal delivery.

  2. Which metric is MOST aligned with DA's lean governance approach to measuring team performance?

    Answer: Outcomes delivered relative to stakeholder value

    DA lean governance focuses on outcomes and value delivery rather than activity-based or output-based metrics.

  3. In DA, what is 'process tailoring' in the context of governance?

    Answer: Selecting and adapting practices to fit the team's context while respecting guardrails

    Process tailoring means teams choose and adapt practices from DA's toolbox to suit their unique situation within enterprise guardrails.

  4. Which DA principle supports continuous improvement by encouraging teams to evolve their WoW over time?

    Answer: Optimize flow

    Optimizing flow in DA includes continuously improving the team's way of working to reduce waste and increase the speed of value delivery.

  5. A DA program-level team discovers that three sub-teams use incompatible integration standards. Which governance action is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Escalate to enterprise governance to establish an integration guardrail

    Program or enterprise governance in DA is responsible for setting guardrails such as integration standards when cross-team alignment is needed.

  6. What does DA's 'GCI' (Governance, Compliance, and Improvement) recognize about compliance activities?

    Answer: Compliance requirements are external constraints teams must address within their WoW

    DA acknowledges that compliance is a real business need and should be incorporated into the team's WoW rather than ignored or delegated away.

  7. In DA continuous improvement, the concept of 'small safe-to-fail experiments' is BEST associated with which principle?

    Answer: Pragmatism

    DA's pragmatism principle encourages teams to try small, low-risk experiments to discover what works in their specific context.
