What should the Developers do if, during the Sprint, the Product Owner asks them to add an
urgent unplanned work item that aligns to the Sprint Goal but does not fit into the current Work
in Progress (WIP) Limits?
(choose the two best answers)
If the Product Owner requests that an urgent, unplanned work item be added during the Sprint, and it aligns with the Sprint Goal but does not fit within the current WIP limits, the Developers should:
1. Add the urgent item to their Sprint Backlog but only start working on it when their WIP Limits allow it (Option A): This maintains the integrity of the WIP limits and ensures that the team doesn't overcommit or create too much work in progress, which could affect flow and focus.
2. Take on the urgent item as an exception to the WIP Limits and visualize that they are above their WIP Limit (Option C): By taking on the urgent item as an exception, the team can address the urgency while being transparent about the temporary breach of the WIP limits. This visualization helps the team and stakeholders understand the current state of work and its impact(
Options B (Adjust the WIP Limits) and D (Reject the urgent item) are less suitable because they either undermine the WIP control mechanism or fail to accommodate a potentially critical change that aligns with the Sprint Goal.
Within the same Kanban system, Work in Progress (WIP), is NOT a leading indicator for:
(choose the best answer)
Within the same Kanban system, Work in Progress (WIP) is not a leading indicator for 'Story points delivered.' While WIP can influence throughput and cycle time, it does not directly correlate with story points delivered, as story points are a measure of effort or complexity rather than flow. The number of story points delivered is not directly influenced by the current WIP levels
True or False: The Definition of Done still applies even if policies are explicitly stated at each
column of your Workflow.
The Definition of Done (DoD) still applies even if policies are explicitly stated at each column of your workflow. The DoD is a fundamental concept in Scrum that ensures a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete. Even with explicit policies at each stage of the workflow, the DoD provides a consistent standard for the team's deliverables, ensuring quality and alignment with stakeholder expectations
True or False: If you reduce your batch size, your overall efficiency will always increase.
Reducing batch size does not always guarantee an increase in overall efficiency. While smaller batch sizes can lead to faster feedback, more frequent deliveries, and reduced risk, there can be situations where reducing the batch size too much results in inefficiencies, such as increased overhead costs or excessive context switching. Thus, the relationship between batch size and efficiency depends on the context, system constraints, and the nature of the work
What is true about the Sprint Goal if the Developers reserve capacity for unplanned work during
an upcoming sprint?
(choose the best answer)
When Developers reserve capacity for unplanned work during a Sprint, the Sprint Goal becomes even more crucial. It serves as the guiding objective that aligns the team's focus amidst uncertainties or when unplanned work is introduced. By having a clear Sprint Goal, the Developers can ensure that any new items brought into the Sprint Backlog still align with the overarching objective of the Sprint, helping them maintain focus and coherence in their efforts throughout the Sprint
