A team is planning their next sprint. One team member, a developer, expresses interest in learning testing skills to help the team. The tester is concerned that the developer might not do testing 'correctly'. What is the best way to encourage cross-skilling while addressing the tester's concern?

Keep the roles separate to avoid any risk to quality.

Tell the tester that cross-skilling is more important than perfection and the developer should test without review.

Let the developer write test cases and have the tester review them before execution.

Have the developer only test non-critical features to minimize risk.

What is the primary purpose of adapting product needs based on team learning?

To ensure the team follows the original plan exactly.

To reduce the frequency of stakeholder interactions.

To increase the amount of documentation produced.

To improve the product's value by incorporating insights gained during development.

Which action best demonstrates embracing change in requirements and priorities?

Deferring all changes until the end of the project.

Reprioritizing the backlog to reflect the latest stakeholder feedback.

Assigning all new requirements to the next project phase.

Rejecting new requirements after the iteration begins to protect the plan.

Midway through a sprint, the product owner brings a new high-priority requirement that invalidates a story the team is currently developing. The team is concerned about the impact on their sprint commitment. What should the team do to embrace this change effectively?

Collaborate with the product owner to understand the new requirement, assess its impact on the sprint goal, and negotiate the scope of the sprint.

Ask the product owner to make a decision and then follow it without question.

Finish the current story as planned and add the new requirement to the next sprint without discussion.

Stop work on the current story and immediately start the new requirement, ignoring the sprint plan.

A team is composed of specialists who rarely collaborate outside their areas. The team is facing a project that requires a wide range of skills, and the specialists are concerned about quality if they step outside their expertise. The agile coach wants to encourage cross-skilling. What is the best way to do this while addressing the quality concern?

Hire a consultant to train the team on the new skills.

Assign tasks outside each specialist's expertise and let them figure it out on their own.

Encourage the specialists to work independently on their areas and only collaborate at integration points.

Have the specialists pair on tasks that require skills outside their expertise, with the expert in that area providing guidance.
