The manager of the team is responsible for delivering a specific initiative within the organization. They are preparing for the monthly project review meeting, where they will present the current state of this initiative. The agile project lead sends the manager the following email with the initiative's current status.
Which summaries are correct and will be presented during the monthly project review? (Refer to
the email and exhibits to the Team Manager)
Step 1: Identifying Remaining MVP Story Points
From the backlog, the MVP-related stories that are not started include:



Total remaining MVP story points = 4 + 21 + 5 = 30
Step 2: Projected Sprint Completion



Midway through an iteration, an agile team learns that a team member will be unavailable for the next two iterations. As a high-performance team, what should the team do?
The correct answer is D -- Assume the team member's tasks to meet iteration goals and notify the Product Owner. Agile teams are self-organizing and accountable. High-performing teams take ownership of shared goals and redistribute work as needed to maintain commitment.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
''High-performing agile teams collaborate to deliver sprint goals, adapting to changes such as unavailability of team members. They adjust workload and communicate impacts transparently.''
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 4.3 -- Team Performance and Self-Organization)
Mike Griffiths explains:
''When team composition changes, the team must redistribute work to ensure delivery. Ownership, trust, and flexibility are core traits of high-performing agile teams.''
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 4 -- Team Performance)
Incorrect options:
A signals dysfunction and abdicates team responsibility.
B implies external management of team staffing.
C violates the principle of self-organization.
A product roadmap should contain which of these primary components?
A product roadmap is a strategic plan that outlines the vision for the product, the business objectives that need to be achieved, and the timeframes for delivering key milestones or features. It provides a high-level overview of the product's development, aligning the team and stakeholders on the product's direction and the expected delivery timeline.
Product vision defines what the product aims to achieve and the value it will deliver to customers or the business.
Business objectives outline what the product aims to accomplish in terms of business impact, like increasing revenue or improving customer satisfaction.
Timeframes indicate when key milestones or releases are planned to occur, ensuring that progress can be tracked and expectations set.
This high-level structure is essential for guiding product development and keeping stakeholders aligned, without delving into the specific details of design or project management, which are more suited for other planning documents.
A servant leader is leading a high-visibility project to deliver a new product. The servant leader has been able to build a cross-functional team and create a team space where the team is collocated. The servant leader started receiving frequent visits from a company director, who continually asks a specific team member questions about project progress. The conversations are distracting the team from their goal.
What should the servant leader do?
As a servant leader, it is important to address the root cause of the disruption, which in this case is the director's repeated visits and distracting conversations. Coaching the company director on agile practices and good communication helps them understand the need to minimize interruptions and foster a productive environment for the team. This approach will help align the director's behavior with Agile principles, ensuring that the team can focus on delivering value without unnecessary distractions. By educating the director, the servant leader can improve overall team dynamics and project efficiency.
Which agile practice would most significantly increase a team's velocity?
The correct answer is C --- Training in areas of weakness.
Velocity can be improved when the team removes skill-based bottlenecks. If some members struggle due to lack of knowledge or technical gaps, their productivity---and the team's velocity---will be impacted. Targeted training helps the team overcome these weaknesses and deliver more efficiently.
PMI Agile Practice Guide:
''Improving technical and team skills through training and mentoring increases team performance and agility. Learning is a continuous improvement activity that directly impacts delivery capacity.''
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 6.4 -- Developing People and Teams)
Mike Griffiths adds:
''Velocity is driven by team capabilities. When teams address their weakest areas---through training, pairing, or knowledge sharing---they improve quality and throughput.''
(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 4 -- Team Performance)
Other options:
A supports communication but doesn't directly impact skill-based bottlenecks.
B helps with planning but not necessarily performance.
D describes the work cadence, not a practice that enhances velocity.
