You manage a development organization. The organization currently rewards individual performance bonuses to only a few top-performers on a yearly basis. As a result, only one member of a team might get a bonus, while all others get nothing. Some of your teams feel that this is unfair since everyone on a team contributes to the success or failure to achieve goals. They would like to move toward team bonuses. What do you think needs to be done? (choose the best answer)
In Agile, success is the result of collective effort, and team-based rewards encourage collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility. When bonuses are allocated based on individual performance, it can create competition within teams, which may lead to disengagement or reduced teamwork. Allowing the team to split the bonus reinforces the Agile values of collaboration, trust, and transparency.
You manage a product delivery organization. Your manager asks you to create a plan for the next fiscal year describing what will be delivered. What is the best way to proceed? (choose the best answer)
In Agile, future planning should be based on empirical evidence, using past performance to inform what might be realistically achieved in the future. Probabilistic forecasting gives a more realistic view by accounting for variability in team performance and aligning with Agile's iterative, adaptive approach. It avoids overcommitment and provides transparency, promoting better stakeholder communication.
What traditionally "good" behavior can impede the adoption of an agile culture? (choose the best answer)
Agile principles emphasize collaboration, flexibility, and delivering customer value over strict adherence to processes or individual achievements. Rewarding individual performance or focusing on fixed goals can create silos and hinder collaboration, which is key to Agile. Encouraging specialization can also limit cross-functional teamwork, reducing agility. All the behaviors mentioned can slow down or impede an Agile culture by promoting practices that are at odds with Agile values of teamwork, adaptability, and customer collaboration.
What is the primary benefit of an agile approach as compared to a traditional up-front approach? (choose the best answer)
Agile prioritizes delivering the highest possible value to customers by iterating, adapting, and responding to feedback. This approach contrasts with traditional methods that prioritize efficiency, budget, and scope but may not always maximize value due to rigid upfront planning.
Which of the following is NOT true of cross-functional teams? (choose the best answer)
Cross-functional teams encourage team members to develop a broad range of skills and to work collaboratively on different aspects of the product. This often results in members stepping outside their specializations to contribute to the team's overall success, rather than deepening their technical specializations.
