A team's defect escape rate has increased sharply after the last release. Which decision is most directly supported by this metric?

Increase the team's velocity target to deliver more features

Remove the defect escape rate metric from the dashboard

Reduce the team's Definition of Done to speed up delivery

Allocate more time to testing and quality assurance activities in the next sprint

A distributed agile team needs to share a live view of their task board and key metrics. Which approach best supports this need?

A weekly email summary of the task board

A physical task board in the product owner's office

A shared spreadsheet that is updated at the end of each sprint

A digital dashboard that is accessible to all team members

Which technique is most effective for making agile metrics visible to the entire team in a shared workspace?

Posting a large physical chart on the team room wall

Emailing a weekly metrics report to all team members

Discussing metrics only during the daily stand-up

Storing metrics in a shared drive for on-demand access

A team's velocity has been consistently below the committed amount for three sprints. Based on this metric, what is the most appropriate decision?

Remove the velocity metric from the team's dashboard

Adjust future sprint commitments to align with the team's demonstrated velocity

Ask the product owner to reduce the scope of the project

Increase the team's workload to force higher velocity

A team has a stable velocity of 40 story points per sprint, but the product owner reports that the team is not delivering the highest-value features first. The team is using a simple backlog ordered by the product owner. The product owner wants to use metrics to improve value delivery without slowing the team down. What should the team do?

Ask the product owner to reorder the backlog based on gut feeling

Increase velocity by reducing story point estimates

Stop tracking velocity and only track customer satisfaction

Track the percentage of features delivered that are in the top 20% of business value
