What is true about the Sprint Goal if the Developers reserve capacity for unplanned work during an upcoming sprint?(choose the best answer)

The Sprint Goal becomes more important. It can help the Developers maintain their focus as new Product Backlog items are brought into the Sprint Backlog.

The Sprint Goal no longer helps the Developers. They do not know what they will be working on.

The Developers should never reserve more than 5% capacity for unplanned work. It is inefficient if the Developer's forecast does not take into account all of their capacity.

A Scrum Team's Definition of Workflow must have defined points at which the Scrum Team considers work to have started and to have finished. This allows the team to track their Work in Progress (WIP). How are these points defined?(choose the best answer)

How it is defined and who within the Scrum Team defines it depends on the boundaries and scope of the Definition of Workflow.

The best way to predict the future performance of a team.

A guarantee of when a certain amount of scope will be complete.

What should the Developers do if, during the Sprint, the Product Owner asks them to add an urgent unplanned work item that aligns to the Sprint Goal but does not fit into the current Work in Progress (WIP) Limits?(choose the two best answers)

Add the urgent item to their Sprint Backlog but only start working on it when their WIP Limits allow it.

Take on the urgent item as an exception to the WIP Limits and visualize that they are above their WIP Limit.

Add the urgent item to their Sprint Backlog but only start working on it when their WIP Limits allow it.

Adjust the WIP Limits to allow for taking on the extra item and record it as part of their Definition of Workflow.

Take on the urgent item as an exception to the WIP Limits and visualize that they are above their WIP Limit.

Reject the urgent item since the WIP Limits do not allow it. Tell the Product Owner to wait until the next Sprint.

Within the same Kanban system, Work in Progress (WIP), is NOT a leading indicator for:(choose the best answer)

Number of Product Backlog items finished in a Sprint.

What are the four key flow metrics in Scrum with Kanban?(choose the best answer)

Work in Progress (WIP), Work Item Age, Throughput, Cycle Time.

Work in Progress (WIP), Velocity, Lead Time, Cycle Time.

Velocity, Lead Time, Cycle Time, Cost.

Work in Progress (WIP), Work Item Age, Throughput, Cycle Time.

Which of these is NOT a good description of Cycle Time?(choose the best answer)

The number of items that move into the delivery/end point per time period (e.g., daily/weekly).

The time a work item takes from initial idea/concept to feedback returned from customers after a production release.

The length of time a work item stays in one column.

The number of items that move into the delivery/end point per time period (e.g., daily/weekly).

The time a work item starts until when it finishes.

Little's Law states that:(choose the best answer)

Average Cycle Time = Average Work in Progress / Average Throughput.

Average Throughput = Average Cycle Time * Average Work in Progress.

Average Work in Progress = Average Cycle Time / Average Throughput.

Average Throughput = Average Cycle Time / Average Work in Progress.
