Answers

1
What is an action a team can take to improve economic outcomes?
Test automation
Late integration
Increase velocity
Delay performance testing
2
What benefit does cadence development provide?
Limits WIP
Limits variability
Synchronization
Causes multiple events to occur at the same time
3
Which statement is true about the phase-gate milestone model and risk reduction?
It does not mitigate risk as intended
It reduces product increment values
It creates large batches of requirements
It helps to visualize and limit WIP
4
Which statement is true about Work-in-Process (WIP)
More WIP increases visibility of bottlenecks
More WIP leads to slower throughput
The amount of WIP is unrelated to utilization
WIP should be unlimited
5
When should centralized decision-making be used when making high-level decisions?
When influencing the fewest number of people
When decisions are short-term in duration
When there are significant economies of scale
When making frequent decisions
6
In the SAFe House of Lean, which element should be emphasized with managers?
Innovation
Lean-Agile Leadership
Respect for Culture and People
Flow
7
What is the connection between feedback and optimum batch size?
Feedback and batch size are not generally connected
Large batch sizes reduce transaction cost and higher ROI
Lack of feedback contributes to higher holding cost
Small batch sizes enable faster feedback with lower tx costs
8
How can learning milestones be used?
To meet contractually binding dates for delivery of value
To meet release dates set by external business partners
To mark events such as trade shows and product announcements
To test the concept of a new feature of capability
9
What is one outcome of an integration point?
Support SAFe budgeting milestones
Extend the length of time in an iteration
Bring several Kanban processes to conclusion
Provide information to a system builder to potentially pivot
10
In complex systems development, what do local integration points ensure?
That all team has access to the current product status
That a common understanding of the system design is ready
That each system capability is meeting its responsibilities
That an applications passes all QA tests before its release
