An agile team is unable to complete all its planned sprint user stories, which results in a decrease of its planned sprint velocity. What should the team do?

How can an agile practitioner ensure that all key stakeholders are properly engaged in planning?
Answer: D
To ensure that all key stakeholders are properly engaged in planning, an agile practitioner can facilitate a product development roadmap workshop. This workshop is an opportunity to bring together all relevant stakeholders to collaborate and prioritize product features, establish goals, and create a high-level plan for delivering those features. It is a chance for stakeholders to share their perspectives and ensure that everyone is aligned on the product vision and objectives. The workshop helps to ensure that all stakeholders have a voice and are involved in the planning process, leading to a more collaborative and effective approach to product development.\

An agile project leader is delivering a team kick-off session. The first exercise is a `Life Timeline` `" a story-telling exercise where each team member tells their life story, explains how they experienced the highs and lows of their journey, and identifies their fears and hopes.

Answer: A
A - Correct From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 47: “The best place to start when forming agile teams is by building a foundational trust and a safe work environment to ensure that all team members have an equal voice and can be heard and considered.

An agile team's client has been asked to expedite the delivery of the next release. By delivering one month early, the company can generate US$40,000 more than expected for the quarter. What should the agile team do?
Answer: B
B - Correct ---------- A, D - Incorrect From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 63: “When a team sees what it has not yet completed as it works through an iteration, the team may become dispirited and possibly rush to complete the work without meeting the acceptance criteria.” ---------- C - Incorrect - Change requests are not part of Agile. From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 63: “High-uncertainty projects have high rates of change, complexity, and risk. These characteristics can present problems for traditional predictive approaches that aim to determine the bulk of the requirements upfront and control changes through a change request process. Instead, agile approaches were created to explore feasibility in short cycles and quickly adapt based on evaluation and feedback.”

Ask the agile team to facilitate a story-writing workshop. = team is not responsible for coaching stakeholders. C. Ask subject matter experts (SMEs) to help write the user stories. = this answer leads us force some opinion and NOT engage the team/stakeholders D. Ask the agile practitioner to facilitate a story-writing workshop. = seems to be the best answer. You coach stakeholders about agile and you engage all relevant people via workshop to make a group decision (buy-in etc)

A new project starts and team members are pooled together to execute it. The team works together and moves from the forming stage into the storming stage. However, potentially destructive conflicts are now arising. What should the agile coach do to develop members into a high-performance team?
