Try a question

A team on an ART delivers a large batch of features once every quarter and often finds integration problems at the end. Which Agile principle most directly suggests a better approach?
A. Business people and developers must work together on a monthly basis at minimum
B. Deliver working software frequently, preferring the shorter timescale
C. Simplicity is achieved by maximising the amount of work done
D. The best designs and architectures emerge from a dedicated, central architecture group
Show answer
Answer: B. Small, frequent deliveries shorten feedback loops. Large quarterly batches hide integration risk until late. The distractors misquote real principles, which is a common exam pattern.
A team's burn-up chart is updated only at the end of each iteration, and the PO is regularly surprised in the Iteration Review. Which pillar of empiricism is weakest?
A. Adaptation
B. Inspection
C. Transparency
D. Prediction
Show answer
Answer: C. Empiricism rests on transparency, inspection and adaptation, in that order of dependency. When work is invisible, inspection is unreliable and adaptation comes too late.
