32. Agile approaches do not encourage working simultaneously on multiple tasks. In an Agile community, multi-tasking is considered to exact a horrible toll on productivity. According to Clark and Wheelwright, which of the following statements is correct?"

20% or more time is wasted when an individual multi-tasks. - Multi-tasking exacts a horrible toll on productivity. Clark and Wheelwright (1993) studied the effect of multi-tasking and found that the time an individual spends on value-adding work drops rapidly when the individual is working on more than two tasks. With two value-adding tasks, if a team member becomes blocked on one task, he/she can switch to the other task. Productivity increases as the number of concurrent assigned tasks decreases until the optimal point is reached (80% productivity) when an individual only performs two independent value-adding tasks. (Note that observed productivity while performing a single task is only 70%.) "

The Manifesto for Agile Software Development was published in:

2001

You have recently taken over a project that is halfway through the execution. You are not happy with the team's throughput. You also have noticed that each team member is multi-tasking and has, on average, five concurrently assigned tasks. According to Clark and Wheelwright, what percent of the team's time is currently being wasted and spent on non-value-adding activities?

According to Clark and Wheelwright (1993), an individual only spends 40% of his/her time on value-adding tasks when he/she is working on five concurrent tasks. Since all team members are multi-tasking on five tasks on average, this implies that 60% of the team time is being lost in "task switching" which is non-value-adding and considered a waste.

A fishbowl window can increase a team's productivity by facilitating communications. A fishbowl window reduces the:

Collaboration lag - A Fishbowl window is a long-lived video conferencing link between various locations. People start the link at the beginning of a workday and close it at the end. In this way, people can see and engage spontaneously with each other, reducing the collaboration lag otherwise inherent in the geographical separation. An effective communication tool may reduce the risk of scope creep but doesn't reduce the project scope. This might increase the direct project costs (due to the use of technology) but, at the same time, might reduce the indirect project costs (due to efficient WIP management)

You are estimating a story by estimating the amount of effort required to deliver the story when the team has to focus exclusively on this story and does not face any delays or interruptions. What are you estimating?

Ideal time - Ideal time is the amount of time that something takes when stripped of all peripheral activities. Elapsed time is the amount of time from the start to finish of an activity. It is almost always far easier and accurate to predict the duration of an event in ideal time than in elapsed time.

A programmer estimated the ideal time for the development of a user story to be five days. If the programmer is assigned another project in parallel, what would be the effect of multi-tasking on the ideal time of the user story?

Ideal time is the amount of time that something takes when stripped of all peripheral activities including waiting time. Multi-tasking will not impact the ideal time for the user story. However, the elapsed time (actual duration from start to finish) will be impacted.

You are leading a complex Agile project. The team has recently found out that some of the stories selected for the current iteration will not be complete by the end of the iteration. What should you do next?

If, during an iteration, a story is found to be larger than expected, then it needs to be brought to the attention of the product owner. The product owner, in collaboration with the team, can then find a way to split the story or reduce its scope such that a portion can hopefully still be completed within the iteration with the remainder moved to a future iteration.

Things change in the project so you should do what with your plans?

Inspect and adapt the plans to the changing events.

Which type of iteration involves the carrying out of tasks before the actual development work begins for technical and architectural setup and gathering initial requirements into the backlog?

Iteration O

Lengthy processes, causing bottlenecks. - The scenario doesn't give enough context to determine if there are any issues with the production or quality management processes. George needs to focus on processes that are impeding the team's agility and progress. Lengthy processes that are causing bottlenecks is the best response to this question."

Which of the following is generally considered the LAST option to estimate a team's velocity?

Making a forecast. - There are times when we don't have historical values and it is just not feasible to run a few iterations in order to observe velocity. In cases like these, we need to forecast velocity. However, forecasting velocity is the last resort

Agile sizing and estimation involves which of these necessary steps prior to reaching completion?

Making use of progressibve elaboration to estimate projecct efforts more accurately, Updating the team capacity to factor in maintence and operations demands; Making initial rough estimate range on scope, schedule and costat the very beginning of the project based on high level requirements to kick off the project.

9. You and your team are executing the first Agile project in the organization. This is a special project for the organization as Agile is being piloted for the first time. You are nearing the end of the first iteration on the project and not all of the assigned user stories are complete. Can the team extend the iteration duration by a couple of days in order to complete all assigned stories in the iteration plan?"

No; the iterations are time-boxed. Iteration durations are time-boxed and cannot be extended. All incomplete stories need to be returned to the product backlog where they will get re-prioritized along with the other stories in the backlog. [Agile Practice Guide, 1st edition, Page 25]"

Some people insist new organizational structures be installed before any cultural shift can begin. Others argue that new organizational structures are only superficial adjustments until the collective culture moves in a meaningful direction. What is your view on this?

You are responsible for designing new lessons learned management system for an organization. As a part of the project, you need to consult with a number of senior stakeholders and assess their needs and requirements. You then have to facilitate consensus on the system features, workflows, processes and procedures. Once the system is developed, it has to be rolled out across the organization and all employees have to be trained in effective use of the system. You have chosen to use a hybrid project life cycle. Which of the following life cycles should be adopted for the user training phase of the project?

Predictive - Once the system is successfully designed and built, user training may be an extensive task but this can well be planned in advance. Predictive life cycle should be the most structured approach for this phase of the project.

In contrast to waterfall teams, Agile teams do not report a percentage of completion of each WIP item. Which of the following is the biggest problem associated with traditional status reporting?

Predictive measurements often do not reflect reality. - The problem with predictive measurements is that they often do not reflect reality. It often happens that a project status light is green up until the last month when the release is due; this is sometimes referred to as a watermelon project"

You have been assigned to lead a massive enterprise process reengineering and automation project. Due to the size and complexity of the project a very large team has been formed. You have split the larger team into smaller teams and have asked each team to estimate a subset of stories. However, before each team starts their own estimating, which of the following activities must first be conducted?

Start all teams together in a joint planning poker game for an hour or so and have them estimate 10 to 20 stories. - If the project is already underway and being estimated, this implies that a feasibility study would have already been performed for such a large and complex project prior to commencement. Decomposing all epics and themes is not recommended unless some of these are being planned for the next few iterations. The risk with multiple teams estimating user stories is inconsistent estimates. It is recommended that all teams start together in a joint planning poker game for an hour or so and have them estimate 10 to 20 stories. Then make sure each team has a copy of these stories and their estimates and that they use them as baselines for estimating the stories they are given to estimate"
