information system project and you are going to use an agile-scrum
method. Given lengthy delays in the procurement of the
development, the customer is keen to ensure the system is
implemented in the near horizon. This said, the customer has no
experience in agile and has long-established organisational quality
assurance procedures more inclined to that of a waterfall approach.
You will utilise development teams in London (where you are based)
and New York as the skills required to undertake the development
are spread across these teams. The following are additional
facts about the customer and project:
Based on the above, choose all statements which are correct:
a. Your company (via the Scrum manager) should translate the BA
documented requirements into user stories and agree these with the
customer for the initial product backlog and thereafter aiding the
customer in this respect if necessary.
b. The company should use a plan-driven incremental development
in which iteration occurs within each activity as this
extreme-programming approach will speed up code production.
c. Once the user stories for the non-functional requirements are
produced, these should be prioritized on the product backlog over
those of the functional features to ensure that dependability and
performance criteria are addressed.
d. Since it is proposed to use agile development, there should
be no impediments to employing pairs programming within and between
development teams.
e. Tools to support real-time communication will be key to
enhancing communication between development teams as well as with
product owners.
f. Since the customer has no experience in agile, your company
should just use a waterfall model (for functional features) as this
is consistent with their experience and will accommodate for
incorporation of subsequent non-functional requirements without
having to repeat earlier development activities or modify code.
g. Since the customer does not have an identified individual as
product owner, your company should act in this capacity.
h. Your company should have comparable roles in both development
teams including someone acting for the customer.
i. Systems configuration will form a significant fraction of the
project under development rather than just creating new code.
Your company has been chosen to implement a UK highway information system project and you are going to use an agile-scrum method. Given lengthy delays in the procurement of the development, the customer is keen to ensure the system is implemented in the near horizon. This said, the customer has no experience in agile and has long-established organisational quality assurance procedures more inclined to that of a waterfall approach. You will utilise development teams in London (where you are based) and New York as the skills required to undertake the development are spread across these teams. The following are additional facts about the customer and project: • The customer has three business analysts (BA) which are knowledgeable about the functional business requirements. However, there is no single product owner. The customer has mandated a project manager (PM) to make high-level decisions about what is in scope and their relative importance. However, the PM will not always be available at all meetings. The project has an appointed Scrum master and an architect manager. The architect will have responsibility for eliciting non-functional requirements based on discussions with many varied departments within the customers organisation as well as external stakeholders. The system developed by the project will need to fit into the customer's existing IT architecture/infrastructure and interface with many other applications. The customer has insisted that the development process be documented according to a specific standard (we will call this S-standard). In relation to the functional requirements, this will be the responsibility of the BA's. Based on the above, choose all statements which are correct: a. Your company (via the Scrum manager) should translate the BA documented requirements into user stories and agree these with the customer for the initial product backlog and thereafter aiding the customer in this respect if necessary. b. The company should use a plan-driven incremental development in which iteration occurs within each activity as this extreme-programming approach will speed up code production. Oc.

O d. it is proposed development teams. agile development, there should be impediments to employing pairs programming within e. Tools to support real-time communication will be key to enhancing communication between development teams as well as with product owners. Of.
