Read the first 7 Process and Lifecycle Management flashcards as text

  1. In Disciplined Agile, which lifecycle is best suited for a team working on a data warehouse project where requirements are well-understood and the solution can be built incrementally?

    Answer: Lean lifecycle

    The Lean lifecycle is ideal for well-understood, streamlined delivery where teams pull work from a backlog without fixed iterations.

  2. A DA team notices that their Definition of Done (DoD) is being ignored under deadline pressure. What is the BEST response according to DA guidance?

    Answer: Inspect why the DoD is being compromised and improve the process to sustain it

    DA emphasizes continuously improving the process so that quality standards like the DoD can be maintained sustainably.

  3. Which Disciplined Agile lifecycle explicitly includes a 'Prove the architecture' milestone before full construction begins?

    Answer: Agile lifecycle

    The DA Agile lifecycle includes an Elaboration phase milestone called 'Prove the architecture' to de-risk technical direction early.

  4. A DA team is working on a safety-critical medical device. Which lifecycle option is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Agile lifecycle with extended compliance layers

    The Agile lifecycle can be extended with compliance milestones and rigor required for safety-critical domains while retaining agility.

  5. In DA's process goal diagram for 'Develop on Cadence; Release on Demand,' what does 'release on demand' primarily mean?

    Answer: Releases happen whenever the business needs them, decoupled from development cadence

    Release on demand means the team can deploy to production independently of their development cadence, driven by business need.

  6. Which statement BEST describes the role of 'WIP limits' in a DA Lean lifecycle?

    Answer: They limit the number of items in each workflow state to improve flow

    WIP limits in Lean constrain the number of work items in any workflow stage to reduce multitasking and improve throughput.

  7. A program-level DA team is coordinating work across five sub-teams. Which lifecycle is specifically designed to address this scenario?

    Answer: Program lifecycle

    The DA Program lifecycle orchestrates multiple teams working together on a large solution, addressing cross-team coordination challenges.
