2
Which statement is true about Work-in-Process (WIP)
The amount of WIP is unrelated to utilization
More WIP increases visibility of bottlenecks
More WIP leads to slower throughput
WIP should be unlimited
3
Which statement is true about the phase-gate milestone model and risk reduction?
It reduces product increment values
It helps to visualize and limit WIP
It does not mitigate risk as intended
It creates large batches of requirements
4
In the SAFe House of Lean, which element should be emphasized with managers?
Respect for Culture and People
Lean-Agile Leadership
Innovation
Flow
5
What benefit does cadence development provide?
Limits WIP
Causes multiple events to occur at the same time
Limits variability
Synchronization
6
In complex systems development, what do local integration points ensure?
That all team has access to the current product status
That an applications passes all QA tests before its release
That a common understanding of the system design is ready
That each system capability is meeting its responsibilities
7
What is one outcome of an integration point?
Provide information to a system builder to potentially pivot
Extend the length of time in an iteration
Support SAFe budgeting milestones
Bring several Kanban processes to conclusion
8
How can learning milestones be used?
To test the concept of a new feature of capability
To meet release dates set by external business partners
To mark events such as trade shows and product announcements
To meet contractually binding dates for delivery of value
9
What is the connection between feedback and optimum batch size?
Lack of feedback contributes to higher holding cost
Feedback and batch size are not generally connected
Large batch sizes reduce transaction cost and higher ROI
Small batch sizes enable faster feedback with lower tx costs
10
When should centralized decision-making be used when making high-level decisions?
When there are significant economies of scale
When influencing the fewest number of people
When decisions are short-term in duration
When making frequent decisions
