During a review session, an agile team presented done requirements to a group of stakeholders. Stakeholder feedback indicated that the done requirements failed to meet most pressing needs and provide value. What should the team have done to prevent this?
Answer: A
A mature agile team welcomes a new member. Due to poor experiences with a previous team, the new member is reluctant to communicate. What should be the agile project leader do?
Answer: B
B - Correct - The main issue here is reluctance to communicate. The agile project leader also assumes the role of the servant leader. From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 35 & 123: “4.2.1.1 SERVANT LEADERS FACILITATE ... Additionally, a facilitator encourages collaboration through interactive meetings, informal dialog, and knowledge sharing. Servant leaders do this by becoming impartial bridge-builders and coaches, rather than by making decisions for which others should be responsible.” “Agile creates a culture of transparency: people show and share their work throughout development. This sharing of interim deliverables and being open and honest about successes, failures, and current state is transparency. Transparency requires courage.”

A member of a project's development team approaches the team lead and requests database administrator training. The team member believes that their inability to handle this work and to rely on outside specialists is impacting team velocity. What should the agile team lead do?
Answer: C
Option C. In Agile Framework, it's important to promote self-organizing and cross-functional teams, and to encourage team members to take on new responsibilities and develop new skills. However, it's also important to balance this with the need to maintain a sustainable pace of work and ensure that team members are not overburdened with work they are not qualified to do. In this scenario, the team lead should first ask the team if there is an issue with the current work flow and if the team member's inability to handle database administration is impacting velocity. If the team agrees that this is an issue, then sending the team member to training could be a good option. However, it's important to make sure that this training does not disrupt the team's ability to deliver on their current commitments, so sending only one member to training would be a more prudent approach.

During a retrospective meeting, a team develops a large list of initiatives. All will have a positive impact and improve team performance. What should the agile coach do next?
Answer: C
As far as I remember some of Agile/Scrum guides, after retrospective: - only few options should be selected to change because team can't improve everything at once; - the most important/valuable changes should be done - team should try it immediately (implement the change immediately). So (C) looks like correct answer. From the other point of view, Agile=Transparency, so retrospective results could be shared with management.

A product owner concludes that the majority of a project's value can be delivered by completing only the first half of the prioritized backlog. What should the product owner do next?
Answer: C
Firstly, the backlog is already prioritised and I would not know how this "epiphany" would change the priority. Secondly, the "to future iterations" does not make sense to me. The second half has never been prioritised for the on-going iteration. "Meet with the stakeholders" seems like a right thing to do but also "work with the team..." is correct in my point of view. Even if the second part of the backlog is does not hold much value, you still have to focus to deliver the first half. So I cannot really decide between C and D.

During the review session, the product owner discovers that the user interface has a response time of 10 seconds. The non-functional requirements state that it should respond in less than two seconds. The team complains that this requirement was not communicated to them. What should have been done to avoid this?
Answer: C
Option B. Non-functional requirements, such as response time, should be communicated to the development team and included in the acceptance criteria for the user story. This ensures that the team is aware of the requirement and works towards meeting it during development. While creating a comprehensive user story with all non-functional requirements (option A) and adding non-functional requirements to the definition of done (option C) are important, they do not necessarily address the issue at hand, which is the team's lack of awareness of the specific non-functional requirement. A team review of the scope of work (option D) may also be beneficial, but it is not directly related to the issue of non-functional requirements being communicated to the team.

Midway through a sprint, a scrum team member advises the team of a new requirement that may change the initial scope. What should the team do?
Answer: C
C could be the right answer bcz in Agile, a team member is allowed to add a story into the backlog, but then PO who decides whether the feature is a valuable item or not.

A product owner, new to the role, is very enthusiastic about an agile project with an energetic team. What should be done first to ensure successful delivery of the product?
Answer: A
I believe B is correct answer. Product vision is output from Strategy meeting and dev.team is not a participant of that meeting. Only SM, PO and key stakes.

During a current sprint, a team member asks permission from the scrum master to investigate an alternative design approach. What should the scrum master do?
Answer: D
D is the right answer. According to Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, 1st Ed, Spikes are a key tool that agile teams use to head off problems and resolve them as early as possible. A spike is a short effort (usually timeboxed) that is devoted to exploring an approach, investigating an issue, or reducing a project risk. Although spikes can be done at any time during a project, they often take the form of brief exploratory iterations or proof-of-concept efforts that are done at the start of a project, before the development effort begins.
