1. Question 1091 · 1401 in bank

   The project velocity has recently slipped, and a decision was made to skip testing to increase the momentum and bong the project back on track. What will the project manager need to focus on as a result of this decision?

   • AIncreased bum rate
   • BIncreased cost
   • CIncreased technical debt
   • DDecreased efficiency

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   Technical debt refers to the additional work that will be required in the future due to taking shortcuts or making decisions that prioritize short-term gains over long-term sustainability. Skipping testing can lead to significant technical debt as bugs and errors may be introduced into the software that will require additional work to fix later. Additionally, skipping testing can also lead to reduced quality and user satisfaction, which can ultimately harm the success of the project.

   Show answer

   Answer: AC

   Explanation

   Encourage all team members to use a virtual workspace: By using a virtual workspace or collaboration tool, team members can easily share task progress, updates, and any relevant information. This platform provides a centralized and accessible space for team members to communicate and collaborate effectively, regardless of their geographical locations. It can also encourage the hesitant team member to participate and share their progress more openly. Talk to the team member about their engagement and take appropriate action: It's important for the project manager to have a conversation with the team member who is not communicating many details during the daily calls.
