Question 1AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In Agile Project Management, what is the primary purpose of the Foundations phase?

  1. To run the daily stand-up and manage team velocity
  2. To deliver the first working increment of the product to the customer
  3. To decompose all requirements into detailed task-level plans
  4. To confirm that the project is both feasible and worth doing before committing significant effort Correct answer.

Explanation

The Foundations phase establishes whether there is a viable business case and a feasible approach before the project is formally launched into development. It produces the initial foundations products that later phases build on. Detailed delivery work and day-to-day control belong to later phases.

Question 2AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM principle states that the project should focus on delivering value early and continuously?

  1. Deliver on time
  2. Focus on business need
  3. Build incrementally from firm foundations Correct answer.
  4. Demonstrate control

Explanation

Building incrementally from firm foundations reflects the principle of delivering useful product in increments, starting from a stable, well-understood base. It emphasizes early and continuous delivery of value rather than a single big-bang release. The other options are also AgilePM principles but do not describe incremental value delivery.

Question 3AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is the role of the Business Ambassador in an AgilePM project?

  1. To manage the project's finances and resource budget
  2. To provide day-to-day business input and make decisions within the empowered business role Correct answer.
  3. To facilitate workshops and ensure the process is followed
  4. To prioritize the work backlog on behalf of the customer

Explanation

The Business Ambassador is an empowered business role that provides day-to-day business knowledge, feedback and decisions to the team. This keeps business involvement continuous rather than concentrated in a single person. Prioritization, finance and facilitation sit with other roles.

Question 4AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which product is created during the Feasibility phase in AgilePM?

  1. The Solution Architecture Definition
  2. The Deployment Plan
  3. The Feasibility Assessment Correct answer.
  4. The Business Case

Explanation

The Feasibility phase produces the Feasibility Assessment, which records whether the project is worth pursuing and how it might be approached. The Business Case is refined in Foundations, the Solution Architecture Definition is a Foundations product, and the Deployment Plan is a delivery product.

Question 5AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is a timebox in AgilePM?

  1. A milestone used to approve the business case
  2. A fixed, short period of work with a defined objective that is not extended Correct answer.
  3. A contingency reserve of time held by the Project Manager
  4. A measure of team productivity used in reporting

Explanation

A timebox is a fixed period during which a defined objective must be met; the end date is not moved even if scope has to be adjusted. This creates a predictable rhythm and forces prioritization. It is not a contingency reserve, milestone or productivity metric.

Question 6AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what does the MoSCoW prioritization technique represent?

  1. A method for estimating effort using relative sizing
  2. A technique for ranking requirements by importance to the business Correct answer.
  3. A structure for organizing the project team into layers
  4. A process for scheduling iterations across the project lifecycle

Explanation

MoSCoW ranks requirements as Must, Should, Could and Won't have, reflecting their importance to the business and helping to protect fixed timeboxes. It is a prioritization technique, not an estimation, scheduling or team-structuring method.

Question 7AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which statement best describes the AgilePM philosophy of 'Collaborative'?

  1. Business and technical people work together closely throughout the project Correct answer.
  2. The team works independently of the business to avoid interference
  3. Customers are consulted only at formal stage boundaries
  4. Only the Project Manager makes decisions to keep the project efficient

Explanation

The Collaborative philosophy holds that business and technical stakeholders work together continuously so that decisions reflect real business needs. Frequent, close collaboration replaces occasional formal consultation. Decision-making is shared across empowered roles rather than centralized.

Question 8AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is the main purpose of the Daily Stand-up in AgilePM?

  1. To plan the next timebox in detail
  2. To share progress, surface issues and plan the day's work Correct answer.
  3. To demonstrate completed features to stakeholders
  4. To review the business case with the Sponsor

Explanation

The Daily Stand-up is a short, frequent team meeting to share progress, raise impediments and coordinate the day's work. It is a control and coordination event, not a planning, governance or demonstration session.

Question 9AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A team is deciding how much detail to put into a plan for a timebox that starts next week versus one that starts in six months. Which AgilePM principle does this reflect?

  1. Apply the right level of detail at the right time Correct answer.
  2. Deliver on time
  3. Build incrementally from firm foundations
  4. Focus on business need

Explanation

AgilePM advocates planning at an appropriate level of detail that becomes finer as the work approaches, so near-term plans are detailed and long-term plans are high-level. This is captured by the principle about applying the right level of detail at the right time. The other options address value, incremental delivery and schedule, not planning granularity.

Question 10AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

During a timebox, the team realizes it cannot complete all Must Have requirements. According to AgilePM, what should happen?

  1. Escalate to the appropriate business role because Must Haves are non-negotiable within the timebox Correct answer.
  2. Drop a Must Have and continue without escalation
  3. Convert the Must Haves into Could Haves automatically
  4. Extend the timebox until all Must Haves are complete

Explanation

Must Have requirements are the minimum usable subset, so failing to deliver them undermines the timebox's objective and must be escalated to the empowered business role. The timebox end date is not extended, and business roles, not the team, decide on any change to priorities.

Question 11AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM role is accountable for the overall business case and for ensuring the project delivers the intended business benefit?

  1. The Project Manager
  2. The Agile Facilitator
  3. The Team Leader
  4. The Business Visionary Correct answer.

Explanation

The Business Visionary is the senior business role accountable for the vision and for realizing the business benefits, working closely with the Sponsor. The Project Manager manages delivery, the Team Leader leads the team, and the Facilitator supports process.

Question 12AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What distinguishes the AgilePM 'DAD' (Defined, Adopted, Deployed) concept in relation to products?

  1. It is a method for prioritizing non-functional requirements
  2. It describes the states a product passes through as it is defined, adopted by users and deployed Correct answer.
  3. It is a governance gate for approving the business case
  4. It is a technique for estimating product size

Explanation

The Defined, Adopted, Deployed concept describes the progressive states of a product as it moves from being defined to being accepted by users and finally deployed into operational use. It helps the team understand readiness and completion. It is not an estimation, governance or prioritization technique.

Question 13AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

An AgilePM project has a fixed deadline and fixed team size. Where should flexibility be built in to protect the deadline?

  1. By allowing scope to flex within the fixed time and resources Correct answer.
  2. By fixing scope and varying quality
  3. By adding team members whenever scope increases
  4. By allowing the deadline to move if scope grows

Explanation

AgilePM uses a fixed time, fixed cost, fixed quality approach in which scope is the variable that flexes through prioritization. This protects the deadline and quality. Moving the deadline, fixing scope, or varying quality all undermine the approach.

Question 14AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is the purpose of the Project Approach Questionnaire (PAQ) in AgilePM?

  1. To list the acceptance criteria for each requirement
  2. To capture the team's technical design decisions
  3. To record the daily progress of each team member
  4. To assess the project's suitability for an agile approach and highlight risks Correct answer.

Explanation

The Project Approach Questionnaire is used to evaluate how well the project context suits an agile approach, surfacing risks and assumptions early. It informs the choice of approach and the tailoring of the method. It is not a design, progress or acceptance document.

Question 15AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which of the following best describes the AgilePM role of the Team Leader?

  1. Approves the business case at the end of each stage
  2. Owns the business vision and prioritizes requirements
  3. Provides independent assurance to the Sponsor
  4. Ensures the team works effectively and removes impediments to delivery Correct answer.

Explanation

The Team Leader focuses on the effectiveness of the development team, facilitating collaboration and removing obstacles to delivery. Business vision, business case approval and independent assurance sit with other roles.

Question 16AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the primary focus of the Deployment phase?

  1. Establishing the initial project foundations
  2. Defining the solution architecture
  3. Confirming the business case
  4. Putting the product into operational use and realizing benefits Correct answer.

Explanation

The Deployment phase moves the delivered product into operational use and focuses on realizing the intended business benefits. Architecture definition and foundations belong to earlier phases, and business case confirmation is a governance concern.

Question 17AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A project uses a 'facilitated workshop' to define requirements with business stakeholders at the start of a timebox. Which AgilePM practice does this most closely align with?

  1. Applying control limits to the project budget
  2. Using MoSCoW to rank the business case
  3. Timeboxing the daily stand-up
  4. Collaborative modelling of requirements with business involvement Correct answer.

Explanation

AgilePM encourages collaborative, facilitated workshops where business and technical people model requirements together. This supports shared understanding and early validation. Stand-up timing, business case ranking and budget control limits are unrelated practices.

Question 18AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is the role of the Project Manager in an AgilePM project?

  1. To write all the code and deliver the product personally
  2. To make all product-level decisions on behalf of the business
  3. To manage the project's delivery, resources and governance, tailoring the approach Correct answer.
  4. To provide independent audit of the project's finances

Explanation

The Project Manager is responsible for managing the project, its resources, plans and governance, and for tailoring the method to context. Product-level business decisions are delegated to empowered business roles. The Project Manager does not personally build the product or perform independent audits.

Question 19AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Why does AgilePM recommend that the business case is reviewed and refined at each stage boundary rather than fixed at the outset?

  1. Because the Sponsor is required to rewrite the business case every day
  2. Because incremental delivery provides new information that may change the justification for continuing Correct answer.
  3. Because the team needs a reason to hold a meeting
  4. Because the business case is only a formality with no decision value

Explanation

AgilePM treats the business case as a living document, updated as increments are delivered and new evidence emerges, so that the decision to continue is based on current information. It is a genuine decision tool, not a formality, and is not rewritten daily.

Question 20AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which combination best reflects the AgilePM approach to control?

  1. Require written approval for every task before it starts
  2. Empower the team within clear boundaries and use frequent, lightweight progress checks Correct answer.
  3. Rely solely on end-of-project reporting to assess progress
  4. Remove all governance to maximize team autonomy

Explanation

AgilePM combines empowerment with clear boundaries and frequent, lightweight controls such as stand-ups and information radiators, so that control is demonstrated without bureaucracy. Heavy pre-approval, end-only reporting and the absence of governance all conflict with this balance.

Question 21AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A stakeholder asks why AgilePM separates the project into phases such as Feasibility, Foundations, Evolutionary Development and Deployment. Which explanation is most accurate?

  1. To allow the Project Manager to work without any business involvement
  2. To guarantee that requirements never change after Foundations
  3. To provide decision points where the business case and approach can be reassessed before further investment Correct answer.
  4. To ensure every phase produces identical documentation

Explanation

The phase structure creates decision points at which the business case and approach are reassessed, supporting incremental investment and control. Phases do not produce identical documentation, freeze requirements, or remove business involvement.

Question 22AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, how does the concept of 'Emergent' requirements interact with the fixed timebox?

  1. Emergent requirements immediately replace Must Haves in the current timebox without review
  2. Emergent requirements are captured and prioritized for future timeboxes while the current timebox objective is protected Correct answer.
  3. Emergent requirements are only recorded after the project closes
  4. Emergent requirements are rejected because the timebox scope is fixed at the start

Explanation

AgilePM accepts that requirements emerge over time; they are captured and prioritized for future timeboxes, while the current timebox protects its agreed objective. This balances responsiveness with the discipline of fixed timeboxes. Requirements are not rejected, swapped without review, or deferred to project closure.

Question 23AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A team consistently delivers all Must Haves but never completes Should Haves, and the business is unhappy about lost value. Which AgilePM analysis is most appropriate?

  1. The team should stop prioritizing Must Haves
  2. The business case should be cancelled immediately
  3. The timebox may be overloaded with Must Haves, so the business should reassess prioritization to leave room for Should Haves Correct answer.
  4. The Daily Stand-up should be lengthened to compensate

Explanation

If Must Haves consume the entire timebox, there is no contingency for Should Haves, signaling that prioritization may be too heavy on Musts. The empowered business roles should reassess priorities so that Should Haves can be delivered when possible. Cancelling, lengthening stand-ups or abandoning Must prioritization do not address the root cause.

Question 24AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which statement best captures why AgilePM emphasizes 'firm foundations' before evolutionary development?

  1. It eliminates the need for any later planning or prioritization
  2. It requires all requirements to be fully specified before any development begins
  3. It guarantees that the business case will never change
  4. It establishes a sufficient, stable understanding of the vision, architecture and approach so increments can be built without rework Correct answer.

Explanation

Firm foundations means establishing enough stable understanding of vision, solution architecture and approach to support incremental delivery without constant rework. It does not mean exhaustive upfront specification, nor does it remove later planning or freeze the business case.

Question 25AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A Project Manager wants to reduce governance overhead while still demonstrating control. Which AgilePM-aligned action is most appropriate?

  1. Remove the Sponsor from the project to speed up decisions
  2. Replace all progress reporting with a single end-of-project report
  3. Require the team to produce detailed Gantt charts for every timebox
  4. Use lightweight, frequent information radiators and timebox reviews within agreed tolerances Correct answer.

Explanation

AgilePM demonstrates control through lightweight, frequent visibility such as information radiators and timebox reviews, operating within agreed tolerances. This reduces overhead while retaining oversight. End-only reporting, removing the Sponsor, and heavyweight charting all undermine control or agility.

Question 26AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM principle emphasizes that the project should focus on delivering what the business needs, when it needs it, rather than on following a rigid plan?

  1. Deliver on time
  2. Collaborate
  3. Demonstrate control
  4. Focus on business need Correct answer.

Explanation

The AgilePM principle 'Focus on business need' directs the project to prioritize delivery of business value and be willing to adjust plans to meet that need. The other principles address different aspects such as timeboxing, collaboration, and governance.

Question 27AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the primary purpose of the Foundations phase?

  1. To deploy the solution into the operational environment
  2. To establish a firm foundation of understanding before evolutionary development Correct answer.
  3. To deliver the minimum usable subset of the solution
  4. To confirm the feasibility of the project and justify further investment

Explanation

The Foundations phase ensures that the project has a solid basis-such as agreed roles, processes, and initial plans-before entering Evolutionary Development. It is not about deployment, feasibility, or delivering the solution itself.

Question 28AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM role is responsible for leading the team in delivering the solution and ensuring that the team works effectively?

  1. Project Manager
  2. Technical Coordinator
  3. Team Leader Correct answer.
  4. Business Sponsor

Explanation

The Team Leader leads the team and is responsible for the day-to-day delivery of the solution and team effectiveness. Other roles have different accountabilities: the Project Manager manages the project, the Business Sponsor owns the business case, and the Technical Coordinator ensures technical coherence.

Question 29AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is the main purpose of the AgilePM Product Breakdown Structure (PBS)?

  1. To provide a hierarchical view of all products required by the project Correct answer.
  2. To define the schedule of timeboxes and their objectives
  3. To capture the business justification for the project
  4. To list the roles and responsibilities of all project stakeholders

Explanation

The Product Breakdown Structure is a hierarchical decomposition of the products that the project must deliver. It helps to define scope and product relationships, not schedules, roles, or business justification.

Question 30AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the primary purpose of a timebox?

  1. To create a fixed period within which work is done and a decision is made Correct answer.
  2. To provide a flexible duration that can be extended if needed
  3. To allow unlimited time for perfecting a product
  4. To schedule all project activities sequentially

Explanation

A timebox is a fixed period of time during which work is performed and at the end of which a decision is made about progress. It is not extendable and does not allow unlimited time.

Question 31AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM principle encourages the team to accept that change is inevitable and to embrace it?

  1. Demonstrate control
  2. Welcome changing requirements Correct answer.
  3. Deliver on time
  4. Collaborate

Explanation

The principle 'Welcome changing requirements' acknowledges that change is normal and should be embraced to deliver better business value. The other principles focus on timeboxing, governance, and collaboration.

Question 32AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, which role is responsible for ensuring that the solution is technically coherent and fits together?

  1. Project Manager
  2. Team Leader
  3. Technical Coordinator Correct answer.
  4. Business Ambassador

Explanation

The Technical Coordinator is responsible for the technical coherence of the solution across teams. The Team Leader leads a team, the Project Manager manages the project, and the Business Ambassador provides business input.

Question 33AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is the purpose of the AgilePM Business Case?

  1. To document the business justification for the project and support decision-making Correct answer.
  2. To provide a detailed schedule of all project activities
  3. To list the products to be delivered in each timebox
  4. To define the technical architecture of the solution

Explanation

The Business Case captures the business justification, costs, benefits, and risks, and is used to support go/no-go decisions. It is not a schedule, technical document, or product list.

Question 34AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the main purpose of the Daily Stand-up?

  1. To prioritize the backlog for the next timebox
  2. To demonstrate the finished product to stakeholders
  3. To share progress, plan the day's work, and identify impediments Correct answer.
  4. To review the business case with the sponsor

Explanation

The Daily Stand-up is a short, focused meeting where the team shares progress, plans the day, and raises impediments. It is not for business case review, product demonstrations, or backlog prioritization.

Question 35AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which of the following is a key responsibility of the Business Sponsor in AgilePM?

  1. Ensuring technical coherence across teams
  2. Managing the project's daily operations and resources
  3. Leading the team in day-to-day development activities
  4. Owning the business case and ensuring that the project delivers the intended business benefits Correct answer.

Explanation

The Business Sponsor is accountable for the business case and for realizing the business benefits. Other roles handle team leadership, project management, and technical coordination.

Question 36AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the primary purpose of the Timebox Review?

  1. To plan the work for the next timebox
  2. To identify and resolve technical issues
  3. To demonstrate the completed products to stakeholders and gather feedback Correct answer.
  4. To review the business case and approve the next stage

Explanation

The Timebox Review is a demonstration of the products completed in the timebox, allowing stakeholders to provide feedback. Planning the next timebox is done in the Timebox Planning session, and business case review occurs at stage boundaries.

Question 37AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

According to AgilePM, what is the recommended approach to prioritizing requirements?

  1. Prioritize based on the order in which requirements are received
  2. Use MoSCoW prioritization to classify requirements as Must, Should, Could, and Won't Correct answer.
  3. Assign equal priority to all requirements to avoid conflict
  4. Let the technical team decide priorities based on technical difficulty

Explanation

AgilePM recommends MoSCoW prioritization to ensure that the most important requirements are delivered first and to provide flexibility. Other approaches do not provide the necessary focus on business value.

Question 38AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM product is used to define the objectives, scope, and products for a timebox?

  1. Timebox Plan Correct answer.
  2. Business Case
  3. Delivery Plan
  4. Product Breakdown Structure

Explanation

The Timebox Plan defines what is to be achieved in a timebox, including its objectives, scope, and products. The Delivery Plan covers the whole project, the Business Case justifies the project, and the PBS breaks down all products.

Question 39AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the role of the Project Manager?

  1. To own the business case and represent the business
  2. To lead the team in technical development
  3. To manage the project on a day-to-day basis and ensure it delivers the required products Correct answer.
  4. To ensure technical coherence across teams

Explanation

The Project Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the project and for delivering the required products. Team leadership, business case ownership, and technical coherence are handled by other roles.

Question 40AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

What is the purpose of the AgilePM Project Approach Questionnaire (PAQ)?

  1. To assess the project's suitability for an agile approach and identify areas for tailoring Correct answer.
  2. To gather requirements from stakeholders
  3. To evaluate the technical feasibility of the solution
  4. To measure team performance against the plan

Explanation

The PAQ is used to evaluate how well the project aligns with agile principles and to highlight areas where tailoring may be needed. It is not a requirements-gathering, technical feasibility, or performance measurement tool.

Question 41AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM principle suggests that the project should be managed in a way that provides visibility and control without unnecessary bureaucracy?

  1. Focus on business need
  2. Collaborate
  3. Deliver on time
  4. Demonstrate control Correct answer.

Explanation

The principle 'Demonstrate control' emphasizes that the project should have appropriate governance and visibility while avoiding excessive bureaucracy. The other principles address different aspects.

Question 42AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the recommended composition of a timebox?

  1. A fixed duration with a defined scope that can be adjusted if necessary Correct answer.
  2. A variable duration with a fixed scope
  3. A fixed duration with a fixed scope that cannot be changed
  4. A variable duration with a variable scope

Explanation

AgilePM recommends that timeboxes have a fixed duration, while the scope may be adjusted to fit within the timebox. This provides predictability while allowing flexibility.

Question 43AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which of the following best describes the AgilePM principle 'Collaborate'?

  1. Ensure that all team members have identical skills
  2. Delegate all decision-making to the team
  3. Use collaboration tools to track progress
  4. Work closely with stakeholders and team members to achieve common goals Correct answer.

Explanation

The 'Collaborate' principle emphasizes close working relationships and shared goals among stakeholders and team members. It does not require identical skills, specific tools, or full delegation.

Question 44AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A project team is struggling to complete all Must Have requirements within a timebox. According to AgilePM, what should the team do first?

  1. Ask the Business Sponsor to increase the budget
  2. Reduce the quality of the deliverables to meet the deadline
  3. Re-prioritize the requirements and consider dropping or deferring lower-priority items Correct answer.
  4. Extend the timebox duration to accommodate all requirements

Explanation

AgilePM emphasizes fixed timeboxes and flexible scope; the team should re-prioritize and adjust scope to fit the timebox. Extending the timebox or reducing quality undermines the approach.

Question 45AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the purpose of the Foundations phase?

  1. To establish the project's foundations, including roles, processes, and initial plans Correct answer.
  2. To deliver the first increment of the solution
  3. To deploy the solution into the operational environment
  4. To confirm the business case and project feasibility

Explanation

The Foundations phase is about setting up the project properly-agreeing on roles, processes, and plans-before evolutionary development begins. It is not about delivering increments, confirming feasibility, or deployment.

Question 46AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

Which AgilePM role is responsible for providing business input and ensuring that the solution meets business needs?

  1. Team Leader
  2. Project Manager
  3. Technical Coordinator
  4. Business Ambassador Correct answer.

Explanation

The Business Ambassador represents the business and provides input to ensure the solution meets business needs. The other roles focus on technical coordination, team leadership, and project management.

Question 47AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, what is the purpose of the Delivery Plan?

  1. To provide a high-level plan for the entire project, including timeboxes and major products Correct answer.
  2. To list all requirements and their priorities
  3. To define the business case and project justification
  4. To detail the tasks for each day of a timebox

Explanation

The Delivery Plan is a high-level plan that outlines the overall project timeline, timeboxes, and major products. It does not detail daily tasks, define the business case, or list requirements.

Question 48AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A project is using AgilePM and the team has identified that a requirement marked as Must Have is no longer necessary. What should happen?

  1. The requirement should be re-evaluated and, if agreed, removed or re-prioritized Correct answer.
  2. The requirement must be delivered regardless because it is a Must Have
  3. The requirement should be automatically moved to the next timebox
  4. The requirement should be escalated to the Project Board for approval without discussion

Explanation

AgilePM encourages flexibility and focus on business need; if a Must Have is no longer needed, it should be re-evaluated and possibly removed or re-prioritized. Must Haves are not immutable if the business need changes.

Question 49AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

A team consistently delivers all Must Haves but never completes Should Haves, and the business is unhappy about lost value. What AgilePM principle or practice is most relevant to address this?

  1. Demonstrate control by adding more reporting
  2. Collaborate by having more meetings
  3. Deliver on time and ignore Should Haves
  4. Focus on business need and ensure that Should Haves are prioritized appropriately Correct answer.

Explanation

The principle 'Focus on business need' reminds the team to prioritize based on value; if Should Haves are consistently missed, the prioritization may need to be revisited to ensure business value is delivered. Simply adding reporting or meetings does not address the underlying issue.

Question 50AgilePM fundamentals and the Agile Project Management approach

In AgilePM, why is it important to tailor the approach to the specific project?

  1. Because AgilePM is a framework that should be adapted to the project's size, complexity, and risks Correct answer.
  2. Because tailoring is only required for large projects
  3. Because tailoring eliminates the need for governance
  4. Because the AgilePM manual must be followed exactly without deviation

Explanation

AgilePM is a framework that encourages tailoring to fit the project's context, such as size, complexity, and risk. It is not a rigid set of rules, and tailoring does not remove the need for governance.
