Question 710

An agile team repeatedly misses sprint goals because its work-in-progress greatly exceeds its capacity. The team proposes this response: Coach the team to set a realistic sprint goal, limit active work, and remove blockers before accepting more items. Which measurable outcome should the team use to verify success?

  1. A decision log shows timely local decisions without unauthorized changes to safety requirements.
  2. A new maintainer performs a representative reconciliation fix without contacting the departing developer.
  3. Completed outcomes become more predictable and unfinished work carried between sprints declines.
  4. Support engineers resolve a seeded incident using handover artifacts within agreed service targets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

This measured result tests the stated action in the present scenario: Coach the team to set a realistic sprint goal, limit active work, and remove blockers before accepting more items. The evidence is Completed outcomes become more predictable and unfinished work carried between sprints declines. Without that evidence, the unresolved failure is: Increasing simultaneous assignments does not create additional capacity or flow.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A decision log shows timely local decisions without unauthorized changes to safety requirements. However, this does not establish the required outcome: completed outcomes become more predictable and unfinished work carried between sprints declines.

B:

A new maintainer performs a representative reconciliation fix without contacting the departing developer. However, this does not establish the required outcome: completed outcomes become more predictable and unfinished work carried between sprints declines.

D:

Support engineers resolve a seeded incident using handover artifacts within agreed service targets. However, this does not establish the required outcome: completed outcomes become more predictable and unfinished work carried between sprints declines.

Question 711

An agile team repeatedly misses sprint goals because its work-in-progress greatly exceeds its capacity. A delivery update says the problem is already solved although the original concern persists. What is the most consequential problem in assuming the existing approach is sufficient?

  1. A motivational slogan without operational outcomes cannot guide conflicting implementation decisions.
  2. Replacing retrospective learning with collective blame impairs recovery and retention.
  3. Increasing simultaneous assignments does not create additional capacity or flow.
  4. Allowing status or seniority to settle the dispute without evidence damages trust and patient safety.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The fundamental risk is: Increasing simultaneous assignments does not create additional capacity or flow. Address it through Coach the team to set a realistic sprint goal, limit active work, and remove blockers before accepting more items. and verify with Completed outcomes become more predictable and unfinished work carried between sprints declines. before closing the item.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That failure describes another context: An education program's success statement says only 'modernize learning' while regional directors disagree about remote access. For the current scenario, the unaddressed deficiency is: Increasing simultaneous assignments does not create additional capacity or flow. The response should be Coach the team to set a realistic sprint goal, limit active work, and remove blockers before accepting more items.

B:

That failure describes another context: After a failed rollout, team morale declines because the sponsor blames every individual for unexpected supplier downtime. For the current scenario, the unaddressed deficiency is: Increasing simultaneous assignments does not create additional capacity or flow. The response should be Coach the team to set a realistic sprint goal, limit active work, and remove blockers before accepting more items.

D:

That failure describes another context: Two senior engineers publicly disagree about encryption placement, and their argument is delaying a hospital deployment. For the current scenario, the unaddressed deficiency is: Increasing simultaneous assignments does not create additional capacity or flow. The response should be Coach the team to set a realistic sprint goal, limit active work, and remove blockers before accepting more items.

Question 712

An agile team repeatedly misses sprint goals because its work-in-progress greatly exceeds its capacity. The team has identified a response and must obtain a justified decision before moving forward. Which accountable follow-through decision BEST protects project value?

  1. Agree which exceptional conditions justify a temporary return to directive decisions.
  2. Use the agreed change route for material workflow improvements, keeping patient safety gates mandatory.
  3. Set a lightweight documentation threshold for significant delivery and compliance decisions.
  4. Negotiate backlog scope with the product owner instead of setting unattainable team commitments.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

This decision respects the accountable project authority and the scenario’s remaining exposure: Negotiate backlog scope with the product owner instead of setting unattainable team commitments. The response being governed is Coach the team to set a realistic sprint goal, limit active work, and remove blockers before accepting more items. and the completion measure is Completed outcomes become more predictable and unfinished work carried between sprints declines.
