Discuss Scaled Agile SAFe-DevOps Exam Topic 2 Question 16

When preparing a DevOps backlog, prioritizing features using WSJF includes which two factors? (Choose two.)

Choose the correct option from below list

ACost of delay

BBusiness value

CTotal count of items on the Program Backlog

DTeam velocity

EDuration/job size

Suggested Answer: D

The %C&A metric measures the percent of time downstream customers receive work that is usable as-is in the Continuous Delivery Pipeline. The %C&A metric is a measure of the quality of the work output from a process step. It indicates the percentage of time that the downstream customers receive work that is acceptable as is, without any rework or errors. To calculate the %C&A metric, the people responsible for the next step need to inspect the work output from the previous step and determine whether it meets the quality standards and expectations. They also need to provide feedback to the previous step on the defects or issues they find and how they affect the value stream. By measuring the %C&A metric, the enterprise can gain insight into the current state of the delivery process, such as the lead time, cycle time, throughput, quality, and waste. This insight can help the enterprise identify bottlenecks, dependencies, handoffs, delays, and inefficiencies that affect the flow of value. The %C&A metric can also help the enterprise understand how the flow of value can be improved by applying the principles and practices of DevOps, such as culture, automation, lean flow, measurement, and recovery.By improving the %C&A metric, the enterprise can increase customer satisfaction, reduce costs, accelerate time-to-market, and enhance business agility

I thought duration/job size was important too, but I guess not!

Annmarie 11 months ago

Nope, it's all about cost of delay and business value!

Lenny 11 months ago

Wait, is team velocity really a factor?

Leonor 11 months ago

Totally agree, those are the main factors!

Ora 12 months ago

Cost of delay and business value are key!

Dyan 12 months ago

I have a feeling that team velocity isn't part of WSJF prioritization, but I could be wrong. I should double-check my notes.

Pansy 12 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I think duration/job size was mentioned, but I can't recall if it's one of the main factors for WSJF.

Brett 1 year ago

I'm a bit unsure, but I feel like business value should also be included. It makes sense to prioritize based on that.

Nan 1 year ago

I remember discussing WSJF in class, and I think cost of delay is definitely one of the factors.

Haydee 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident that cost of delay and business value are the two factors used in WSJF for prioritizing features. That seems to be the core of the WSJF approach.

Franklyn 1 year ago

I remember learning about WSJF in my DevOps course, but I'm drawing a blank on the exact factors. I'll have to make an educated guess and go with A and B.

Vinnie 1 year ago

Okay, let me think this through. WSJF stands for Weighted Shortest Job First, so it's likely related to the duration or size of the job. And business value is always a key consideration in prioritizing features. I'll go with cost of delay and business value.

Vernell 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know WSJF has something to do with prioritizing features, but I can't quite remember the specific factors involved.

Alecia 1 year ago

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the two factors are cost of delay and business value.

Toi 1 year ago

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. The error messages mention issues with the HA interconnect and the FC-to-SAS bridges, so I'll need to carefully analyze the details to determine the root cause.

Seriously, who would choose team velocity? That's like trying to prioritize features based on the color of the developer's socks. A and E are the way to go.

Definitely, A and E make more sense for prioritizing features.

Ah, the age-old question of what to prioritize. Team velocity? I don't think so. I'm going with A and B, the tried and true.

Haha, total count of items on the Program Backlog? Really? That's got nothing to do with WSJF. I'm going with A and E.

I'm not sure about C and D, but I'm pretty confident that E is the correct answer along with A or B.

Val 2 years ago

But what about D) Team velocity? Shouldn't that also be considered in the backlog prioritization?

Hana 2 years ago

I agree with Karma, prioritizing based on cost of delay and business value makes sense.

A and B seem like the obvious choices here. Cost of delay and business value are key factors in prioritizing features using WSJF.
