PMI-ACP Stories Practice Questions

A team working with a new technology faces a significant amount of uncertainty about its ability to deliver stories due to technical issues. What should the team do?

• AA. Capture risks and make them visible, and use a burn down chart to focus on reducing risks early in the project.
• BB. Ask the scrum master to extend the sprint's duration to allow more time to work through technical issues.
• CC. Place the impacted stories on the story board, and use daily stand ups to make the product owner aware of the technical issues.
• DD. Seek guidance from the development manager.

An agile team provides feedback that user stories include insufficient details to understand the requirements. What should the agile practitioner do?

• AA. Coach the product owner to update only the acceptance criteria.
• BB. Instruct the agile team to fix the user stories during the next retrospective.
• CC. Facilitate a user story workshop with the agile team.
• DD. Inform the product owner's manager that the work items provide insufficient detail.

A team using Kanban identifies that their cycle time has significant variation. After brainstorming, the team determines that the root cause is the stories' varying sizes and risks. What should the team do?

• AA. Reduce work in progress (WIP) limits to accommodate slack for riskier stories
• BB. Create a triage step on the Kanban board to pre-identify risky stories
• CC. Set a policy to break down stories larger than a specified complexity, then adjust the WIP
• DD. Create a dedicated overflow swimlane on the Kanban board for stories that are too large
