Math Questions

A newly assigned Solution Architect in an existing SAFe portfolio is reviewing the current Architectural Runway plans. With whom should the Architect most directly collaborate to ensure that she is aligned to the Solution Vision?1. Solution Management2. Enterprise Architect3. Solution Train Engineer4. Business Owners

What is a primary purpose of Feature toggles from an architectural standpoint in Release on Demand?1. Allows a Customer to customize their version2. Allows the business to determine when to release to Customers3. Allows different Customers to each have different versions4. Allows testing of several combinations of Features

On day 2 of Program Increment (PI) Planning when ROAMing risks, a risk is identified and accepted by the Agile Release Train. What should the Architect do?1. Write a nonfunctional requirement (NFR) to capture the risk2. Adjust the Solution Roadmap to account for the risk3. Do nothing; no action is required4. Wait until the confidence vote to address the risk

What does emergent design primarily enable?1. Conceptual integrity2. Fast local control3. Continuous Delivery Pipeline4. Architectural guidelines

___________________ consists of the existing code, components, and technical infrastructure needed to implement near-term features without excessive redesign and delay.

What is the correct order of the components of the Inspect and Adapt event?1. Problem-solving workshop, quantitative Metrics, retrospective, System Demo2. Quantitative Metrics, System Demo, problem-solving workshop, retrospective3. System Demo, quantitative Metrics, retrospective, problem-solving workshop4. Quantitative Metrics, problem-solving workshop, retrospective, System Demo

Which Lean quality management system (QMS) strategy ensures Agile Release Trains (ARTs) include all necessary compliance knowledge?1. Build in quality and compliance2. Build Solutions and compliance incrementally3. Organize for value and compliance4. Continuously verify compliance and validate

What is one of the architecture perspectives of Continuous Deployment?1. Ensure Features have full stack telemetry2. Pair with Agile Teams to implement Features3. Ensure nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) have been fully tested4. Ensure the architecture supports releasing on demand

What is true about Agile architecture as defined by SAFe?1. Agile architecture eliminates all phase gates in the delivery process2. Agile architecture supports a continuous flow of value3. Agile architecture assumes infrequent communication between Architects and teams4. Agile architecture decentralizes all architectural decisions to teams

Since the development of new features and capabilities consumes the architectural runway, continual investment must be made to extend it by implementing ____________________.

Deming observed that addressing the challenges in the workplace and the marketplace requires an understanding of the systems within which workers and users operate.

The only sustainable competitive advantage is the speed with which an organization can respond to the needs of its customers with new and innovative solutions. These solutions require cooperation amongst all the functional areas, with their incumbent dependencies, handoffs, waste and delays.

How does the Architectural Runway account for emergent design?1. Teams define the runway2. Teams evaluate the intentional architecture3. Teams use Features to build the runway4. Teams grow system design as Features require

An Agile Architect has been asked to create a plan for modernizing a major legacy system. Assuming it will take more than a year and multiple Agile Teams to complete, what should the Architect be sure to include as part of the plan?1. Comprehensive architectural documentation to ensure teams know what to build2. A timeline for evolving Solution Intent from variable to fixed3. A plan on how a balance between intentional architecture and emergent design will be managed4. A detailed implementation roadmap with iterative release dates

What is a key activity of the System or Solution Architect during management review and problem-solving?1. Presenting detailed designs2. Challenging any idea that puts the architecture Vision at risk3. Assigning risks to teams4. Negotiating adjustments to help realize the architecture Vision

This reduces delays, improves product development flow, enables faster feedback, and creates more innovative solutions designed by those closest to the local knowledge.

Providing autonomy and purpose, minimizing constraints, creating an environment of mutual influence, and better understanding the role of compensation are keys to higher levels of employee engagement. This approach yields better outcomes for individuals, customers, and the enterprise.

Architects provides architectural ___________ and technical ______________ to the teams on the Agile Release Train or across the Solution Train.

This architect plans the architectural runway and fosters bnuilt-in quality for the ART's systemsA). Enterprise ArchitectB). Solution ArchitectC). System Architect

1. Visualize and limit the amount of work in process (WIP). This increases throughout and limits demand to actual capacity. 2. Reduce the batch sizes of work to facilitate fast and more reliable flow. 3. Manage queue lengths to reduce the wait times for new functionality.
