質問 # 36
An external web developer is to be contracted to create the new coffee bar insurance area on the existing web site. The chosen web developer will only agree to work on a 'fixed price for a fixed specification' contract.
What action should the Project Manager take?

A. Refuse to employ the chosen web developer as this is not an Agile
approach to project management.
B. Divide the work into component parts to ensure the web developer is focused on, and is paid to deliver, only what is specified for each component.
C. Ensure the later elements of the project reflect the most valuable features of the product being built by the contractor.
D. Agree to a 'fixed price for a fixed specification' contract with a requirement for the web developer to provide daily progress reports.

正解：B

解説：
Dividing the work into smaller, well-defined component parts is a strategic approach when dealing with fixed-price contracts within an Agile framework. This method allows for greater flexibility and adaptability, as each component can be specified in detail, making it clear what the external web developer is responsible for delivering. This approach aligns with Agile principles by enabling incremental development and delivery, allowing for adjustments and refinements to be made as the project progresses and more information becomes available.
References:
In Agile Project Management, particularly when incorporating external resources or contractors, breaking down the project into smaller, manageable parts is a common practice. This not only facilitates better control and tracking of progress but also ensures that the project remains adaptable, with the capacity to respond to changes in requirements or priorities. This approach is in line with Agile methodologies that emphasize iterative development, customer collaboration, and responding to change over following a fixed plan.

質問 # 37
Using the Project Scenario answer the following question about the technical quality of the solution to be delivered. An assessment of the maintenance requirement for the new reservation system was made during Feasibility.
Column 1 describes a list of different types of hotel reservation systems considered. Column 2 lists the three DSDM maintainability objectives. For each description in Column 1, select from Column 2 the maintainability objective it would support.
Each selection from Column 2 can be used once, more than once or not at all.
Column 1:
1. Off-the-shelf software with ready-to-use templates that will need to be customised to fully meet Hoy Hall requirements, after deployment.
2. Developing a fully functioning in-house system, developed and hosted by Architecture Angels IT Operations team.
3. All-in-one web-based reservation and accommodation management system built to Hoy Hall's specification.
4. All bookings for Hoy Hall to be scheduled by one of the other two hotels within the group, until a suitable system can be implemented at the site.
5. A spreadsheet is used to capture customer details manually. Data will then be exported into a fully functional system at a later date.
Column 2
* Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Deliver first, re-engineer later
* Short-term, tactical solution

正解：

解説：

Explanation:
For each of the descriptions in Column 1, the maintainability objective from Column 2 that each would support is as follows:
* Off-the-shelf software with ready-to-use templates that will need to be customised to fully meet Hoy Hall requirements, after deployment.
* A. Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Rationale: Customizing off-the-shelf software indicates a need for the solution to be maintainable from the onset to allow for these adjustments.
* Developing a fully functioning in-house system, developed and hosted by Architecture Angels IT Operations team.
* A. Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Rationale: In-house developed systems need to be maintainable to facilitate future changes and enhancements by the team that created them.
* All-in-one web-based reservation and accommodation management system built to Hoy Hall's specification.
* A. Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Rationale: A system built to specific requirements will require the ability to maintain and adjust the system as needs evolve, making maintainability a key initial attribute.
* All bookings for Hoy Hall to be scheduled by one of the other two hotels within the group, until a suitable system can be implemented at the site.
* C. Short-term, tactical solution
* Rationale: This is clearly a temporary measure until a proper system is in place, indicative of a tactical solution to address immediate needs.
* A spreadsheet is used to capture customer details manually. Data will then be exported into a fully functional system at a later date.
* C. Short-term, tactical solution
* Rationale: Using a spreadsheet is a stop-gap solution to manage information in the short term, emphasizing the tactical nature rather than long-term maintainability.
Option B is not selected for any of the descriptions as none of them imply an approach of delivering first with the intention to re-engineer later. They all suggest a need for immediate maintainability or a short-term fix, not a re-engineering approach.

Topic 2, XAN Insurance Company Web Project
XAN Insurance Company Web Project
(Note:
Xan is a medium-sized insurance company with a worldwide
customer base and a strong presence on the internet. Its website
has been in operation for fifteen years. It operates from one location
- a large, open-plan office in the centre of a city. It is a friendly
company with no separate private offices for individual managers.
Staff members prefer to wander around the office space and have
one-to-one chats rather than use email or have lots of meetings.
The Marketing Director is considering a project to develop a new
area on the current web site to sell a new type of insurance directly
to the proprietors of coffee bars, insuring them against minor
accidents to staff and customers. The targeted coffee bars are
privately-owned franchises and are mostly situated in railway
stations, airports and shopping centres.
The Marketing Director has not yet decided whether the system will
just provide information about insurance policies online and give
quotations, the policies then being set up later by normal mailing
and telephone contact. Alternatively, it may be possible for the
system to provide the complete set-up and sale of an insurance
policy online. In this case the system would need to enable the
online capture and processing of credit card details and the issue of
an insurance policy.
The Finance Director has budgetary control over all projects in the
company and is reluctant to release finance for projects where the
outcome, timeframe and benefits are not clear.
Because of the uncertainty about the amount of development and
the length of time it may take, it is difficult to set a timeframe on this project. The Sales Manager, who reports to the Marketing Director, has insisted that the website extensions needed for this project must be operational within 12 weeks. The Sales Manager has a You have been brought in to give advice on how an Agile Project Management approach can be used to keep control of this project and to ensure that it delivers something useful to the business within 12 weeks.
After a brief feasibility assessment, conducted by the Sales
Manager, the Finance Director has decided to authorise a 12-week
project with the objective of producing a prototype system for
insurance for coffee bars, with a release at the end of that time. Six
selected coffee bars have agreed to complete an insurance
application form online, to trial the released website.

質問 # 42
Which 2 statements describe the appropriate application of Agile Project Management when developing the Prioritised Requirements List during Feasibility?

A. Details of which areas will require seeding in order to become lawn, and which are to become planted borders, should be captured.
B. Regulatory obligations associated with the redevelopment of Hoy Hall should be recorded as Must Have requirements.
C. The responsibility for setting the priority of each of the requirements identified should be assigned to the Project Manager.
D. The re-laying of the driveway and a landscaping solution should be listed as Must Have requirements.
E. The scope of the project should be agreed before moving into the Foundations phase.

正解：B、D

解説：
In the context of Agile Project Management when developing the Prioritised Requirements List during Feasibility, the two statements that align with Agile principles are:
B; The re-laying of the driveway and a landscaping solution should be listed as Must Have requirements.
E: Regulatory obligations associated with the redevelopment of Hoy Hall should be recorded as Must Have requirements.
Here's the rationale:
*B: In Agile, requirements are often categorized by priority such as "Must Have", "Should Have", "Could Have", and "Won't Have for now" (the MoSCoW method). The re-laying of the driveway and a landscaping solution are essential for the project's success and thus should be classified as "Must Have".
*E: Regulatory requirements are non-negotiable constraints that the project must adhere to. These should always be prioritized in the requirements list to ensure compliance and to avoid legal issues, making them
"Must Have" items as well.

質問 # 43
There are several tests planned throughout the project to ensure the solution is fit for purpose and to validate the business solution as it evolves.
Column 1 is a list of tests. For each test in Column 1, select from Column 2 the testing concept that it represents. Each selection from Column 2 can be used once, more than once or not at all.
Column 1
1) In order to get an objective
view, the financial transaction
function is to be tested by
someone from Finance who
has had no involvement in its
development.
2) Before the developer works on
the printing function for the
policy documents, the Sales
Manager will review a prototype
of the online application form
for the new coffee shop
insurance product with the
solution tester.
3) Security test scripts have been
provided by the company's
bank. These scripts will be used
to test the link from the
company's website to the
banking system, which is to be
developed specifically to achieve these tests
4.
The addition of the new coffee
shop insurance product may
threaten the stability of the
existing website. As a primary
route to market this is
unacceptable. The website's
capacity to run additional pages
is to be verified before any
other tests are performed.
5.
The Must Have and Should
Have requirements are to be
tested before the Could Have
requirements.
Column 2
* Collaborative Testing
* Repeatable Testing
* Independent Testing
* Prioritised Testing
* Test-Driven Development

正解：

解説：

Explanation:
* C. Independent Testing
* A. Collaborative Testing
* B. Repeatable Testing
* D. Prioritised Testing
* D. Prioritised Testing
Short Comprehensive Explanation:
* Independent Testing is appropriate when someone from a different department (Finance) with no involvement in the development process conducts the testing to ensure an objective view.
* Collaborative Testing involves various stakeholders, in this case, the Sales Manager and the solution tester, working together to review and test a prototype, promoting early feedback and shared understanding.
* Repeatable Testing is used for security testing where predefined test scripts (provided by the bank) are applied to ensure the system meets specific security standards and can be repeated as needed.
* Prioritised Testing is essential when the project's stability and core functionality, such as the website's capacity to handle new features, must be confirmed before other tests are conducted to ensure the most critical aspects are addressed first.
* Again, Prioritised Testing is used to ensure that the essential requirements (Must Haves and Should Haves) are tested and validated before moving on to less critical ones (Could Haves), aligning with prioritization in Agile methodologies.
References:The Agile Project Management (AgilePM) framework and principles, as detailed in the AgilePM Practitioner documents and learning resources, guide the application of these testing concepts within an Agile project environment. These resources emphasize the importance of iterative development, stakeholder collaboration, and prioritization of work to ensure project success and alignment with business needs. Specific references to testing approaches and their application within Agile projects can be found in the official AgilePM handbook and practitioner-level training materials available through APMG International and affiliated training providers.

質問 # 45
Using the project timeline given in the Project Scenario, answer the following question about application of Timeboxing on the Hoy Hall project.
Lines 1 to 5 in the table below consist of an assertion statement and a reason statement. For each line identify the appropriate option, from options A to E, that applies.
Each option can be used once, more than once or not at all.

Assertion :
1. All internal works to be assigned to Timber Tigers throughout the project should be consolidated into one Structured Timebox.
BECAUSE
The Investigation step within each Structured Timebox requires everyone working within the team to jointly agree how the requirements of the Timebox will be met.
2. Acceptance criteria for the front rooms to be developed in Timebox A should be described in detail and agreed during the Timebox Kick-Off BECAUSE The aim of the Investigation step within each Timebox is to complete as much of the development work as possible.
3. It is appropriate that both the Evolutionary Development phase and Deployment phase are shown in the first Project Increment.
BECAUSE
Each Timebox should comprise an Evolutionary Development phase and
Deployment phase.
4. It is appropriate that the outputs of Timebox C are scheduled for deployment at the end of the first Project Increment.
BECAUSE
A typical Timebox Plan should provide a schedule of high-level activities for the imminent Project Increment.
5. It is appropriate that Earth Excavations create a detailed plan of activities they will complete during Timebox C.
Reason
BECAUSE
The Solution Development Team is responsible for planning the detail of all the work of each Timebox.

正解：

解説：

Explanation:
For each line, here is the appropriate option from A to E that applies:
* All internal works to be assigned to Timber Tigers throughout the project should be consolidated into one Structured Timebox.
* E. False (Assertion) False (Reason)
* Rationale: It is not practical or in line with Agile principles to consolidate all internal works into one Structured Timebox, as the work will likely need to be spread over multiple Timeboxes.
Additionally, the Investigation step involves agreeing on how to meet the requirements of the Timebox, not necessarily consolidating all work into one.
* Acceptance criteria for the front rooms to be developed in Timebox A should be described in detail and agreed during the Timebox Kick-Off
* B. True (Assertion) True (Reason) BUT the reason does not explain the assertion
* Rationale: While it is true that acceptance criteria should be agreed upon during the Timebox Kick-Off, the reason given is incorrect because the aim of the Investigation step is not necessarily to complete as much development work as possible but to plan and understand the work that will be carried out.
* It is appropriate that both the Evolutionary Development phase and Deployment phase are shown in the first Project Increment.
* A. True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion
* Rationale: Each Timebox should indeed include both Evolutionary Development and a Deployment phase. This assertion and reason correctly align with the concept of Timeboxing in Agile.
* It is appropriate that the outputs of Timebox C are scheduled for deployment at the end of the first Project Increment.
* A. True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion
* Rationale: The typical Timebox Plan does provide a schedule of high-level activities for the imminent Project Increment, which would include planning for deployment.
* It is appropriate that Earth Excavations create a detailed plan of activities they will complete during Timebox C.
* C. True (Assertion) False (Reason)
* Rationale: While it is true that Earth Excavations should create a detailed plan for their activities in Timebox C, the reason is incorrect as the Solution Development Team is not solely responsible for planning all work details within a Timebox. This task would typically be a collaborative effort involving all relevant parties.

E; Comparing the processing times of online sales to telephone sales after the new system's deployment is an essential post-project activity. It evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of the new online system, offering insights into improvements and adjustments that may be needed.
Why Other Statements Are Excluded:
A: Creating a company-wide email to show the number of policies sold by each sales assistant weekly is more related to internal sales performance monitoring and motivation rather than a specific post-project activity tied to the project's objectives.
B: Circulating a copy of the revised sales procedure before product deployment is a preparation step for the transition to the new system, rather than a post-project activity.
C: The Project Manager attending Daily Stand-up meetings is part of the ongoing project management and team coordination activities during the project, not a post-project activity.
Topic 2, Hoy Hall Hotel Refurbishment Project
Scenario:
Hoy Hall Hotel Refurbishment Project
(Note:
Hoy Hall, a historic, timber-framed building dating from the 17th century, was originally the residence of the Lords of the Manor of Hoytown. The building is registered as a Heritage Building of Special Interest and is subject to restrictions in terms of development. Used as a hotel for over a century, it has recently fallen into disrepair, and for two years it has been completely unused, accelerating its deterioration. The local community has formed the Action Group "Hoy for Hoy Hall" to save the building, and wants to be closely involved in its future success.
After much discussion Hoy Hall has been purchased by Architecture Angels (AA), a small company whose directors are experienced hoteliers. Five years ago they decided to move into the property renovation business and have recently restored two other similarly-endangered buildings for use as hotels.
Architecture Angels are keen to both support local businesses and to have local people run their hotels, giving them a significant amount of autonomy to do this.
To maintain core consistency, the hotels use Architecture Angels' Head Office services, such as IT operations, accounting, payroll, stocktaking, compliance, human resources and property management. The Head Office is based 80 miles from Hoy Hall.
Recently Architecture Angels commenced an Agile project to renovate Hoy Hall, which has a large downstairs hall and reception area, and 20 potential bedrooms upstairs. The roof requires extensive repairs and the electrical and plumbing installations require complete replacement. The 40 acres of land around the site are overgrown and need to be restored, and the driveway needs re-laying.
In the hotel industry, the trend for direct customer bookings via the internet has had a major impact on the growth of those hotels with this facility. Online booking now accounts for around 80% of room bookings, with only 20% being made via walk-in and telephone enquiries. Before Hoy Hall can open for business, a reservation system must be fully operational.
Architecture Angels use contractors to manage such work and have good
relationships with two local companies: Timber Tigers (TT) who will handle the internal works, and Earth Excavations (EE) who will handle the gardens.
A Project Manager, who has since left the company, started the Feasibility phase. This phase has been continued by the Senior Management Team, which consists of the Sales, Marketing, and Finance Directors and the Chief Executive.
This was scheduled to take a month and has almost been completed. A
Feasibility Assessment has been produced. An Outline Business Case has been completed which assessed the project as being viable.
The Architecture Angels Senior Management Team will be responsible for
Steering the project.
The table below shows the appointments planned for the project team and is subject to change.

Additional Information:
The project is approaching the end of Feasibility. The original Project Manager was involved in drafting a Delivery Plan for the project but not in the outline refurbishment options.
The Senior Management Team generated several options for the refurbishment.
All the options included a landscaping solution for the gardens and re-laying of the driveway, as the solution will not be acceptable without these. However, the best solution for the refurbishment is still under debate. The new Project Manager has suggested that a Feasibility Prototype could consist of paper-based drawings for each option. The "Hoy for Hoy Hall" Action Group thinks that a physically-built representation is mandatory for a prototype and wants a small-scale model of the recommendation for the building. The time available to produce this, however, is limited.
Contracts for resources have not yet been signed and will be postponed until the chosen outline solution has been agreed.

質問 # 48
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?

A. No, because early and frequent delivery of the product features will on its own be sufficient to maintain engagement with the stakeholders.
B. No, because a Review Session should have been scheduled to enable the Solution Development Team to validate their understanding of the stakeholders' expectations.
C. Yes, because this will allow each team member working in a Timebox to raise any issues which may hinder their progress.
D. Yes, because discussing requirements in the presence of project stakeholders will promote communication and buy-in.

正解：D

質問 # 49
During Timebox B, the 'Hoy for Hoy Hall'Action Group disagreed about the planned outcome of the Timebox.
The Project Manager organised a Facilitated Workshop to re-
engage this group and explore discrepancies in understanding.
Is this an appropriate application of Agile Project Management for this project?

A. No, because the Project Manager should have escalated this disagreement as an issue before any action was taken.
B. No, because the local Action Group should have attended the Daily Stand-up meetings.
C. Yes, because discussing requirements in the presence of other stakeholders increases the whole group's awareness.
D. Yes, because Facilitated Workshops provide a forum for each member of the team to present a short progress report.

質問 # 51
Xan Insurance Company is a friendly company with no separate private offices for individual managers. Staff members prefer to wander around the office space and have one-to-one chats rather than use email or have lots of meetings.
What action should the Project Manager take when planning for effective communication throughout the Web project?

A. Identify those individuals with power and influence over the project and what information they require.
B. No action is required as the existing form of spontaneous informal
communication is suitable for all project level and Solution Development Team members.
C. Mandate the use of email so that all communications are recorded for future reference.
D. As this is already common practice, assume all Solution Development
Team members have effective communication skills.

正解：A

解説：
The most effective action the Project Manager should take to ensure effective communication throughout the Web project at Xan Insurance Company is:
A: Identify those individuals with power and influence over the project and what information they require.
In any project, especially within an Agile framework, understanding the stakeholders' landscape is crucial for effective communication management. Identifying key individuals with power and influence over the project helps tailor communication strategies to ensure that critical information is shared appropriately, decisions are facilitated efficiently, and stakeholder engagement is maintained. While the company's culture of informal communication can be advantageous for day-to-day interactions, structured communication is essential for project governance, risk management, and decision-making processes. This approach allows the Project Manager to ensure that all stakeholders are kept informed according to their needs and the project's requirements, balancing the informal communication culture with the need for formal communication where necessary.

質問 # 52
Answer the following questions about actions to be taken by different
roles.
The Business Sponsor has decided that the new coffee shop insurance
product website pages will include the financial transaction functionality to support the end-to-end sales process.

Topic 1, XAN Insurance Company Web Project
XAN Insurance Company Web Project
(Note:
Xan is a medium-sized insurance company with a worldwide
customer base and a strong presence on the internet. Its website
has been in operation for fifteen years. It operates from one location
- a large, open-plan office in the centre of a city. It is a friendly
company with no separate private offices for individual managers.
Staff members prefer to wander around the office space and have
one-to-one chats rather than use email or have lots of meetings.
The Marketing Director is considering a project to develop a new
area on the current web site to sell a new type of insurance directly
to the proprietors of coffee bars, insuring them against minor
accidents to staff and customers. The targeted coffee bars are
privately-owned franchises and are mostly situated in railway
stations, airports and shopping centres.
The Marketing Director has not yet decided whether the system will
just provide information about insurance policies online and give
quotations, the policies then being set up later by normal mailing
and telephone contact. Alternatively, it may be possible for the
system to provide the complete set-up and sale of an insurance
policy online. In this case the system would need to enable the
online capture and processing of credit card details and the issue of
an insurance policy.

Manager, the Finance Director has decided to authorise a 12-week
project with the objective of producing a prototype system for
insurance for coffee bars, with a release at the end of that time. Six
selected coffee bars have agreed to complete an insurance
application form online, to trial the released website.
