Increasing team size won't solve the estimating issue, just complicates it.

Decreasing the sprint time box seems risky, not sure about that.

Surprised they haven't tried tracking effort metrics yet.

Totally agree! Daily scrums are perfect for that.

I think discussing estimating techniques could really help.

Increasing the team size could help, but I wonder if that would really address the estimating problem or just create more complexity.

Decreasing the sprint time box seems risky; it might just add more pressure without solving the root issue of estimation.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like tracking metrics could help the team understand their performance better.

I remember we discussed various estimating techniques, but I'm not sure if the daily scrum is the right place for that.

This seems like a straightforward question. I'll focus on the key activities a project manager should undertake after accepting a new project.

Okay, let's see. The Employee, Job, and Invoice files seem like obvious candidates since they contain the core business data. The Job Rates file also seems relevant since it's used to process the business rules. Not sure about the Payment Type file though.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. The options all sound similar, and I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between them. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

I remember learning about these protocols in class. I think HTTPS is the one used for secure web transactions, so that's my guess.
