Midway into an iteration, an agile team faces a minor technical issue. One of the
team members recalls that the agile coach is an expert in the field from her past
experience as a senior developer. The team requests that the coach help resolve
the issue.
What should the agile coach do first? Correct Answer-a Let the team resolve
the issue (correct answer)
b Help the team resolve the issue
c Resolve the issue for the team
d Consult with the product owner
*the author suggests that "If you [the agile coach] stay at the process level and
stay away from the details of the team's every decision and plan, you can
achieve detachment. Your being detached invites them to attach and to own
their results. This helps them achieve goals asked (and sometimes demanded) of
them." Owning the results is one of the principles servant leaders should
engrain in their teams. In this way, teams can learn to be accountable for
outcomes. The question is asking what the agile coach should do 'first'.
A project manager is searching for more information on the work being
performed on the project he has recently taken over. He has been provided the

work.

Answer-a Project team assignments

the initial stages, information such as unique activity identifiers, labels and
names may be included. As activities and their components continue to evolve
during the project, activity descriptions, resource requirements, constraints, and
leads and lags are examples of information that can be included. The activity
attributes can be useful in learning where work is being performed and the type
of effort involved in completing the work as described in this question.
You are assigned to a research and development project as a project manager.
Since the scope of the project cannot be well defined, you have used a cost-
reimbursable contract with a vendor to produce some of the deliverables for
your project. A recent audit has uncovered an expense that appears unrelated to
your project has been submitted for payment by the vendor. What should you
do first? Correct Answer-a Share the audit results with the vendor's
representative (correct)
b Proceed with claims administration
c Instruct the accounts payable department to stop all payments to the vendor
d Begin litigation to recover any funds disbursed based on fraudulent invoices
*Audits are a structured review of the procurement process. Resulting audit
observations should be brought to the attention of the buyer's project manager
and the seller's representative for adjustments to the project, when necessary.
Except for sharing the audit results with the vendor, all of the answer choices
represent actions which are premature at this point. The vendor may have
simply charged the invoices to the wrong account, or perhaps there is some
legitimate justification for the charge that is not understood.

the following? Correct Answer-a Pull communication
