The team is assessing the initiative and have a number of important decisions to make. These decisions provide valuable feedback to consider at the Strategy Horizon where the following can be determined:

The delivery team wants to release an MVP version of the product as soon as possible. However, they are struggling with deciding what that MVP should contain. What technique can they use to help them decide?

The details of how we might build a solution to a backlog item are:

While developing the initial backlog, the team working at the Initiative Horizon determines they will need to prioritize and sequence solution components:

A team demonstrating the following characteristics:

Expects rapid change

Incorporates learning and feedback

Has a preference for shorter time frames

Treats plans as testable hypothesis

is following planning practices that are described as:

While reviewing criteria for a well-written story, the team discusses the following criteria:

A broad scope of analysis including identifying changes to customer expectations, changes within the organization, and learning from the frontline describes the:

The product owner has found the overall goals of an initiative need to change and discusses the revisions with the team. The estimate of the revised work is greater than the original, which will likely cause the team to miss the fixed release date. The team works actively together to understand the new information about what is valuable and what is not, and find ways to eliminate work that does not directly relate to the newly expressed value. The team is demonstrating which agile value?

During a planning workshop, the team is discussing what outcomes will be addressed next? This team is operating at the:

At the strategy level, a major component of waste can be avoided by ensuring the enterprise:

Working at the Strategy Horizon, the team uses analysis techniques to understand the creation of value propositions for various customer segments. This allows the team to streamline the initiatives and is an example of the following agile business analysis principle:

A team has been delivering a steady stream of small value increments and has completed several solution components, with some still remaining. The solution owner examines the reactions to the delivered components from customers, and decides that the need has been met and the remaining potential components won’t deliver enough additional value to justify doing them. The solution owner will:

When teams use relative estimating, an important outcome of this technique is:

While discussing the Business Analysis Approach, decisions are made about which methodology or approach to use for the initiative being considered. These discussions are happening at the:

During a project to improve efficiency at a customer service center, the product owner has established that a 15% improvement on a set of 5 measures is the target for a particular initiative. They meet this goal and move on to a new initiative. If they had not moved to a new goal, what agile analysis principle would they be ignoring?

The delivery team is in a meeting identifying cycle time improvement opportunities for delivery of the final product. They decide to apply the following technique:

During a team meeting, the team discuss a technique where real or perceived benefits to the customer, direct costs and opportunity costs are assessed. Which technique are they discussing?

The team is discussing what analysis performed at the initiative level should include. They realize this analysis will support a number of key decisions, particularly decisions around the:

When working in the Strategy Horizon and identifying the needs to be met, analysis related work helps an organization better allocate resources. This describes the business analysis principle of:

A team member has written a full user guide about a feature that has not yet been developed. Shortly before delivery is to start, the feature is dropped. What did the team member forget to value highly?

The team decides a story is too big to do in one iteration. The correct technique to apply at this point is:

At the initiative level, solution recommendations incorporate the following:

In a planning workshop the team breaks down the product backlog increment and can assign work to members of the team. This is referred to as:

The following type of learning and feedback could result in identifying new items for the backlog:

The team is evaluating multiple solution options to determine which option is viable. They realize that the following has to be considered when assessing the options:

The team is considering which of several solution paths they should invest in. They are working only from conjecture and opinion, not data and facts. A practitioner with an agile mindset would remind them to:

During the retrospective, the team realizes they are spending too much time developing detailed requirements even though those details are not being used right away. To address this they decide to focus on improving their use of:

As part of the initial discussions, the team agrees that the " I " in the INVEST criteria for ensuring quality in user stories represents:

The team is creating plans at the Strategy Horizon. Diverse opinions are delaying this effort because different people are focused on different timeframes. After some discussion the team realizes they need to focus their efforts on the following viewpoint:

While working at the Strategy Horizon, one of the key decisions to make upfront is:

A team has been delivering a steady stream of small value increments towards a goal for 4 months, and has completed several solution components, with several still potentially doable. The solution owner examines the reactions to the delivered components from customers, and decides which one(s) the team will do next. The solution owner is demonstrating:

Good analysis practices at the Strategy Horizon facilitate the transfer of relevant knowledge between teams to:

The team is delivering a high priority solution component and is discovering new information about the need and how well the work being delivered satisfies it. They conclude that learnings from this component will be used to:

The team has completed a delivery cycle. They are now reviewing immediate feedback from testing and customer evaluation. They will use this data to:

A team is working to deliver capabilities for a fixed date release. They realize that things are going much slower than they expected. Which of the following techniques would provide the team with a way to identify which stories should be delivered, and which should not?

Through ongoing collaboration with stakeholders the team continues to uncover new information. This is leading to changes to the products that are being produced. The team should:

The product owner prioritizes backlog items based on business value and also based on:

The team wants to demonstrate and inspect the increment of the solution to the stakeholders. What is the point of doing this?

For a user story to be considered ready for the next iteration, it must have:

Agile business analysis focuses on producing something, showing it to stakeholders, and eliciting immediate feedback. This demonstrates the following characteristic of working in an agile context:

The team is working at the Initiative Horizon and receives end-user feedback about the MVP. They determine that the immediate next step is to:

At the initiative level, the team decides work to develop additional solution functionality will continue as long as:

The team agrees that the agile business analysis principle of “see the whole” aligns with the BACCM core concept of:

During a delivery team meeting, some members of the team are confused about the “time” dimension depicted on a story map. After some discussion they conclude it describes:

A user story is clear and well-written, but there is broad disagreement amongst development team members about the estimate for the story. The team elects to assign one member for 4 hours to investigate what is really required to deliver this item. This activity the team has chosen is called a:
