Question 1

A DA Coach is advising on restructuring a 5,000-person IT organization. Which DA concept guides how to balance team autonomy with enterprise consistency?

Accepted Answer

A lightweight business case with initial stakeholder alignment

Answer

DA's Inception phase produces a lightweight business case and aligns key stakeholders, avoiding over-planning before learning begins.

Question 3

An enterprise agile transformation is failing because teams are agile but governance processes remain waterfall. What DA concept addresses this root cause?

Accepted Answer

Lean governance

Answer

DA's lean governance concept modernizes governance processes to support iterative delivery rather than requiring phase-gate approvals.

Question 4

In the DA toolkit, which process blade is MOST focused on managing dependencies between agile teams at scale?

Accepted Answer

Coordinate Activities

Answer

The 'Coordinate Activities' process blade in DA specifically addresses how teams synchronize and manage cross-team dependencies.

Question 5

A DAC practitioner notices that the enterprise transformation has created 'agile islands' — isolated agile teams surrounded by traditional processes. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Expand transformation systematically to adjacent value streams and support functions

Answer

DA recommends systematically expanding transformation to adjacent areas, connecting agile teams to supporting functions to eliminate the surrounding constraints.
