DAF Foundations OF Agile Practice Question
A team finds that their current workflow is plagued by bottlenecks at the quality assurance stage, causing delays in delivery. According to Disciplined Agile, which action should the team prioritize to improve their process?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Implement the 'Improve Team Productivity' process goal by identifying and removing the specific constraint causing the delay.
Disciplined Agile emphasizes 'process goals' and 'process blades'. Addressing a bottleneck requires visualizing the workflow to identify the constraint and adjusting capacity or process rules accordingly.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Focus on the process goal 'Coordinate Activities' to ensure all members are aligned.
Why it's wrong here
While coordination is useful, it does not directly solve a specific technical bottleneck in flow.
- ✗
Increase the batch size to allow QA to process more items at once.
Why it's wrong here
Increasing batch size typically worsens bottlenecks in agile environments.
- ✓
Implement the 'Improve Team Productivity' process goal by identifying and removing the specific constraint causing the delay.
Why this is correct
In DA, identifying and removing constraints is a core component of process improvement.
- ✗
Switch to a purely predictive model to ensure quality gates are strictly followed.
Why it's wrong here
Predictive models often exacerbate bottleneck issues rather than resolving them.
