[All SAFe-APM Questions]

When calculating Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF), what action should be taken?

AExecute one column at a time in full, then move on to the next

BSet your 'ceiling' in Fibonacci and work down to the lowest-scoring item

CPut each team in its own WSJF bucket

DPerform individual sizing by role in isolation, then synchronize the scoring later

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The most important planning question for primary research is what will be asked, because this determines the type, quality, and relevance of the data that will be collected. The research question or hypothesis should be specific, narrow, and discoverable through primary research methods, and it should align with the research purpose and objectives. The research question or hypothesis guides the choice of the research medium, the sample size and selection, and the data analysis and interpretation.

What is Primary Research?: This article from Purdue OWL defines primary research and explains the steps and considerations involved in planning and conducting primary research.

10.3: Planning Your Primary Research Project: This article from Humanities LibreTexts provides some tips and examples on how to plan a primary research project, including defining the research question or hypothesis, choosing the research method, and designing the research instrument.

Each team in its own bucket? That could get messy!

I disagree, executing one column at a time is too slow.

Wait, are we really using Fibonacci for ceilings? Seems odd.

I think option D makes the most sense for accurate scoring.

I vaguely remember something about individual sizing by role, but synchronizing later seems tricky. I hope I don't mix that up during the exam!

I feel like putting each team in its own WSJF bucket could complicate things, but I can't remember why we thought that was a bad idea.

I remember practicing a question where we had to set a ceiling for scoring, but I can't recall if it was specifically about Fibonacci. That might be relevant here.

I think we discussed something about executing one column at a time in our last study group, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right approach for WSJF.

Putting each team in its own WSJF bucket? I'm not sure that makes sense for this question. Gotta think this through.

Setting a Fibonacci "ceiling" and working down sounds like an interesting strategy, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach here.

Okay, I remember learning about WSJF in class. I think the key is to focus on the relative priorities, not just the individual scores.

I'm not totally sure about the WSJF process, but I think executing one column at a time might be the way to go.

Okay, let's see. Caller Tracking, Caller Restriction, and Caller Permission all sound like they could be caller access field options. I'm going to have to eliminate those and go with C. None.

I remember a practice question where we discussed how an audit trail helps in verifying transaction completeness. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like A might be part of that.

I'm a little confused on the differences between SNMP, SMTP, SCP, and SFTP. I'll need to review those protocols before deciding.

Wait, did someone say 'Fibonacci'? I thought this was a simple job prioritization technique, not a secret code from Da Vinci!

Hah, I can just imagine some poor soul trying to wrangle all the team WSJF buckets. Nah, I'm sticking with the classic individual sizing approach.

Putting each team in its own bucket? That just sounds like a recipe for confusion. I'll have to go with D - it makes the most sense to size things individually first.
