PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP): PMI-ACP

Based on the following figure, during Iteration 5, there was an increase in story point value (shown on the graph); however, the team completed all of the work it promised to deliver in the iteration and existing estimates were not changed. From this information, one can inferthat:

A. Work was removed from the Product Backlog.

B. Work was added to the Product Backlog.

C. The team's velocity increased.

D. The team's velocity decreased.

After performing three sprints, the product owner and sponsor request an accurate schedule indicating when all releases will be delivered. What should the agile practitioner do?

A. Calculate velocity based on completed sprints and triangulate the remaining work on the backlog to commit to an accurate schedule.

B. Decompose the product backlog into user stories with tasks/acceptance criteria and estimate to commit to an accurate schedule.

C. Use analogous estimating techniques based on projects with a similar velocity.

D. Provide a delivery range based on the team's estimated velocity.

A customer has difficulty explaining how the highest priority feature will work. What should the agile project manager do?

A. Create a time-boxed spike story to reduce the technical risk of the feature.

B. Commence an iteration 0 for the customer and the team to investigate the feature.

C. Facilitate the decomposition of the feature epic into more manageable user stories.

D. Facilitate a just-in-time exploration of the functionality by the customer and the team.
