In a DA transformation, a coach identifies that stakeholders are not attending sprint reviews. What is the BEST first action?
Answer: Understand the reasons for non-attendance and address the root cause
Understanding why stakeholders don't attend helps address the root cause—whether scheduling, relevance, or perceived lack of value—rather than forcing compliance.
How does DA recommend handling stakeholders who have conflicting visions for a product?
Answer: Facilitate a structured dialogue to align on shared goals and priorities
Structured dialogue facilitated by a DA coach helps conflicting stakeholders find common ground and establish aligned priorities for the product.
A DA coach wants to improve information radiators for stakeholders. Which of the following is MOST effective?
Answer: Creating visible, real-time dashboards that show progress against goals
Visible, real-time dashboards serve as effective information radiators by giving stakeholders continuous access to progress without requiring their direct involvement.
When communicating project status to executive stakeholders, a DA coach should emphasize:
Answer: Business value delivered, risks, and decisions needed
Executive stakeholders are most interested in business value delivered, current risks, and decisions they need to make—not technical implementation details.
What is the key benefit of involving stakeholders in backlog refinement according to DA principles?
Answer: It builds shared understanding and helps stakeholders prioritize based on real value
Stakeholder involvement in backlog refinement builds shared understanding and enables better prioritization decisions grounded in actual business value.
A DA coach is helping a team establish a communication plan. Which element is MOST critical to include?
Answer: Frequency, format, and audience for each type of communication
An effective communication plan defines who receives what information, in what format, and how frequently to ensure all stakeholders stay appropriately informed.
