A three-month timeframe has been specified to catch the seasonal sales window.
Which Agile principle MOST influences this course of action?
Which 2 statements represent appropriate entries for the Development
Approach Definition?
For the XAN Insurance Company Web Project, the Development Approach Definition document should outline the methodologies, tools, and techniques to be used during the development process of the project. It focuses on how the project will be executed in terms of technical and management practices.
Selected Statements for the Development Approach Definition:
C . An easy to use web development tool called 'WebMatrix' is to be used to develop and maintain the website extension.
E . Accessibility and performance of the new online quotation area is to be tested using a tool called Sitebeam.
C . This statement directly specifies a tool (WebMatrix) that will be used for web development and maintenance in the project. It is a clear choice regarding the technical approach and infrastructure, making it suitable for inclusion in the Development Approach Definition.
E . Mentioning Sitebeam as a tool for testing accessibility and performance outlines specific methods for ensuring quality and usability in the development process. It provides actionable information on how testing will be conducted, fitting the criteria for the Development Approach Definition.
Why Other Statements Are Excluded:
A . Introducing an awards or bonus scheme to create competition among sales assistants pertains more to internal sales team management and motivation strategies rather than the technical or methodological approach to developing the project.
B . Comparing traditional telephone sales with online sales is related to the project's performance measurement and post-implementation review, not the development approach or methodology used during the project.
D . The request from the Finance Director for a detailed cost report is related to project financial management and monitoring. While important, it does not detail the technical or methodological approach to developing the project's deliverables.
Answer the following questions about the tracking and control activities carried out within the project.
Decide whether each activity has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.
During Foundations, the key stakeholders had very different views about the content and prioritisation for the high-level requirements. As a result, the Project Manager
organized a Facilitated Workshop with the project team to discuss and agree the requirements.
Is this an appropriate application of Agile Project Management for this project?
The project is now in the second week of Timebox C. This is the final Timebox of Project Increment 1 and is scheduled to take one month. The plan is to open
Hoy Hall to the public at the end of this Increment. A Must Have requirement of Timebox C is the implementation of a hotel reservation system.
At the Daily Stand-up, the Software Developer working on the reservation system reported that the framework for the system is now complete and ready for content.
However, this work cannot progress further due to a disagreement over the content. The Marketing Director insists the system is to hold professional photos and video
tours of the facilities and grounds. These require a lot of storage space and regular updates. The IT Operations Manager insists the system is to take less than 5GB of
storage space on the company server and require minimal maintenance.
The Team Leader has arranged a Facilitated Workshop to discuss the content and agree the way forward.
Remember to limit your answers to the number of selections requested in each question.
Which 2 individuals should the Facilitator invite to participate in the Workshop?
The Facilitator should invite the following two individuals to participate in the Workshop:
D . IT Operations Manager (Solution Development Team) E. Marketing Director (Business Visionary)
The rationale for this selection is that the disagreement is between the Marketing Director, who wants the reservation system to have professional photos and video tours (which impacts how the system will be used by potential customers and affects marketing strategy), and the IT Operations Manager, who is concerned with the system's technical limitations and maintenance. Both of these individuals are key to resolving the issue at hand, as they represent the conflicting requirements that need to be reconciled for the project to move forward.
