Thanks again for the videos Ray , they are great , I have a question regarding question number 4 and the correct answers , one of the problems of the team is that they are acting passive ( to me sounds like they are lost and don't understand agile and their roles in it potentially relates to their motivation ) now , how training on estimation can improve their motivation and can fix their problem being passive as an agile team member , to me doesn't make sense because although their getting better in one task ( estimation of story points ) but still the problem of Morale is not resolved, the other side of the problem statement is the problem of productivity ( by definition productivity means getting things done successfully in a specific period of time right ? ) now the question comes up for me that how option B is the right answer although you can choose option C , and the reasoning is by reducing the backlog and refining it , you will be saving the schedule , still the targets will be met since its only refined ( nothing is cut but only getting more refined and to the point ) this way we wont be missing deadlines , correct me if I'm wrong please , thank you Ray

Hello, following would be my explanation: Firstly, doing something how it is supposed to be done gives results, that improves morale Secondly, reducing a backlog is 'postponing' a problem rather than 'solving' it. Someone needs to pick it up later right? Same problem will happen then.

Hi Ray, For Q#4, there appears to be a time management issue with the team as they are missing the deadlines for PLANNED story points. No where it states that they lack ability to not estimate the story points. So that should ideally rule out Option A. Stem of the question articulates that the team is passive (not seemingly happy with transitioning over to Agile) possibly hinting towards their preference (career advancement) for a predictive set-up. Also keeping in view, the key words " Morale" and" productivity" Option B & E are the most appropriate choices as opposed to Options A and B. Can you rationalize the option selected by you?

@PMPwithRay

Hi Sumit, the correct option is rationalized as part of the answer explanation in the video.

Beta distribution formula = O + (4 x ML) + P / 6 = 12 + (4 × 18) + 28/6 = 18.67. Please confirm if this is correct.

The clue statement says "to develope the project approach", but the question says to "to begin the development process". Development approach and development process are not same. Do not you see some gap?

@PMPwithRay

Hi, I see some gap in your understanding. Please explain why either of "to develop the project approach", AND "to begin the development process" will influence the choice of Option D not being the correct answer?

In second question you mention fast tracking will increase cost. But as per guidelines fast tracking supposed to increase risk not cost. Do you mean the cost for the risk?

Hi, generally if risk is increased, cost increases as well potentially to mitigate it.

Thanks ray for this .. just a question on fast tracking just want to understand will it affect cost as I understood that it is schedule compression technique but only crashing increases cost

@PMPwithRay

11 ай бұрын

Hi, fast tracking may or may not increase cost, but crashing definitely increases cost.

@serahsanni3588

10 ай бұрын

My understanding is Fast-tracking may increase risk and affect quality because it requires embarking on multiple tasks simultaneously. While Crashing affects cost because it has to do with bringing additional resources. This is how I differentiate them when the need arises. My exam is in few days 🙏. Your videos are awesome and very helpful.

Hi Ray, Please confirm how the answer 19.33 is OK against the 18.67. How to select between Triangular and Beta distribution ? as it is confusing many times..

Q4- will Moral & Productivity not increased by option E? which is to be solved? please clarify how the Moral & productivity will be address by A & B options.

@PMPwithRay

11 ай бұрын

Hi, your problem statement is NOT to solve the morale/productivity of the team in general, but to increase it in sync with project requirements. Option E may/may-not do that but individual career aspirations is a regular HR-Employee discussion which is not directly related to the project.

@mylus9766

Thats true. But how will a burn up or burn down chart alone will improve the morale of a passive team?

Q2. Majorly Fast Track will increase cost? or risk ?

@PMPwithRay

11 ай бұрын

That is correct. That is why B is wrong.

I disagree with you for question 5. When the situation is tense, first duty of manager is first clam the atmosphere to get the team aligned rather than asking everyone in the team to voice concern and issue. May be answers are set up in a ambiguous manner.

Q5. Asking the team members to suggest ways to resolve the conflict sounds wrong.. PMs are suppose to help resolve conflicts. Team members on software projects are worker bees and not skilled enough to resolve conflicts. Let me know what I am misisng.
