PRINCE2 Agile Foundation

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation is an entry-level certification that combines the structured governance of PRINCE2 project management with agile delivery methods like Scrum, Kanban, and Lean. It is designed for professionals who work in agile environments but still need formal project control, governance, and business justification.



---------- Question 1
The PRINCE2 Agile focus area of Requirements emphasizes the use of user stories. A business analyst is writing a user story and includes the following text: As a user I want to be able to login so that I can access my account. Which of the following is a key component of a good user story that is missing from this example?
  1. The technical specifications of the database that will be used to store the user's password and the encryption algorithm that will be used to protect the data.
  2. The acceptance criteria which define the specific conditions that must be met for the user story to be considered complete and correct by the customer.
  3. The name of the specific programmer who will be responsible for writing the code and the exact date and time that the code will be committed to the repository.
  4. A list of all the other user stories that must be completed before this one can be started to ensure that the project follows a strict sequential order.

---------- Question 2
A team is adopting Scrum within a PRINCE2 Agile project. They are struggling to understand how the role of a Scrum Master interacts with the PRINCE2 project management structure. When applying the delivery team roles, which of the following best describes the relationship between the Scrum Master and the PRINCE2 Project Manager according to tailoring guidance?
  1. The Scrum Master takes full accountability for the Business Case and project budget while the Project Manager focuses solely on the technical delivery.
  2. The Project Manager is responsible for the overall project direction and management, while the Scrum Master facilitates the delivery team and removes blockers.
  3. In PRINCE2 Agile, the role of Project Manager is completely replaced by the Scrum Master to ensure there is no hierarchical interference with the team.
  4. The Scrum Master reports directly to the Project Board, bypassing the Project Manager to ensure that agile ceremonies are conducted without any traditional oversight.

---------- Question 3
In PRINCE2 Agile, the 'Quality' theme is tailored to include the use of agile techniques. How should a project team define and use the 'Definition of Done' (DoD) to ensure the PRINCE2 quality requirements are being met during the delivery of a work package?
  1. The Definition of Done is a list of technical tasks that the Project Manager completes at the end of the project to close the project files.
  2. The Definition of Done is a shared understanding of what it means for a product increment to be complete, including quality checks and documentation requirements.
  3. The Definition of Done is used to replace the Project Product Description, as agile teams do not need to know the overall quality expectations of the customer.
  4. The Definition of Done is a flexible list that the team can change at the end of every day if they find that they cannot meet the originally agreed quality levels.

---------- Question 4
Which of the following describes the PRINCE2 Agile guidance for tailoring the 'Starting Up a Project' process when the project is expected to be highly agile?
  1. The process should be skipped entirely because agile teams do not need any preparation or justification before they start coding the final product.
  2. The process should be done quickly, focusing on the high-level feasibility and ensuring the right people are in place to begin the Initiation stage.
  3. The process should be extended to last several months to ensure that every single requirement is fully documented before the project is officially started.
  4. The process should be replaced by a 'Sprint 0' where the only goal is to build the development environment and no management activities take place.

---------- Question 5
The PRINCE2 Agile target 'Accept that the customer does not need everything' is most closely related to which agile technique used for prioritizing the product backlog and ensuring the team hits the deadline for a specific timebox?
  1. The use of T-shirt sizing to estimate the complexity of work items based on the team's historical experience and technical knowledge.
  2. MoSCoW prioritization, which categorizes requirements into Must haves, Should haves, Could haves, and Won't haves for this time period.
  3. The Daily Stand-up meeting where the team discusses what they did yesterday and what they plan to do today to identify blockers.
  4. The creation of a Definition of Done to ensure that every feature delivered meets the required quality standards and is ready for release.

---------- Question 6
A team is using Scrum within a PRINCE2 Agile project. During a retrospective the team identifies that they are struggling to understand when a user story is ready to be pulled into a sprint for development. Which agile concept should the team focus on to resolve this specific issue and improve their planning process?
  1. The Definition of Done because it clearly outlines the criteria that must be met before a product can be released to the customer at the end of a project stage.
  2. The Definition of Ready because it specifies the criteria that a user story must meet such as being clear and estimated before it can be accepted into a sprint.
  3. The Agilometer because it will help the team understand if the project environment is suitable for using user stories and Scrum for the delivery of the product.
  4. The Business Case because it contains the high-level goals of the project and will tell the team exactly which user stories should be worked on in each individual sprint.

---------- Question 7
When managing a project using PRINCE2 Agile, the concept of a Timebox is frequently used at the delivery level. If a team realizes they cannot complete all the committed user stories within the current sprint, what is the most appropriate action according to PRINCE2 Agile guidance on flexing scope?
  1. Extend the duration of the Timebox until all user stories are completed
  2. Lower the quality standards of the remaining stories to finish them faster
  3. Remove lower priority user stories to ensure the deadline and quality are met
  4. Request an immediate exception report to increase the budget for the sprint

---------- Question 8
The Agilometer is a key focus area in PRINCE2 Agile used to assess the project environment. If the assessment shows that the level of Collaboration is very low among stakeholders, what is the most appropriate action for a Project Manager to take when tailoring the PRINCE2 processes for the upcoming stage?
  1. Increase the frequency of formal written reports and decrease face-to-face meetings
  2. Adopt a more traditional waterfall approach and ignore agile behaviors entirely
  3. Implement more rigorous Change Control procedures to prevent any stakeholder input
  4. Design specific workshops and use information radiators to improve visibility and engagement

---------- Question 9
The focus area on Requirements in PRINCE2 Agile discusses the need to prioritize work. If a customer adds a new requirement during a sprint that is more important than anything currently being worked on, how should this be handled according to the guidance?
  1. The team must immediately stop what they are doing and start the new requirement, even if it means they cannot finish any of the work they committed to at the start of the sprint.
  2. The Product Owner should discuss the new requirement with the team and if they agree to take it on, an existing requirement of similar size should be moved out to keep the workload stable.
  3. The Project Manager should tell the customer that no changes are allowed once a sprint has started because the original plan must be followed exactly to avoid any project risk.
  4. The Project Board should be called for an emergency meeting to decide whether the new requirement is actually important or if the customer is just being difficult for the sake of it.

---------- Question 10
During the Managing a Stage Boundary process in a PRINCE2 Agile project, the Project Manager needs to provide a forecast for the next stage. If the team is using Scrum and has completed three sprints, which metric is most useful for this forecasting task?
  1. The average number of hours each developer worked per day during the last three sprints to ensure that everyone is reaching their 8-hour daily quota.
  2. The team's average velocity, which is the number of story points completed per sprint, applied to the remaining items in the prioritized backlog.
  3. The total number of bugs found by the testers in the first sprint, regardless of whether those bugs were fixed or if they are still open in the current sprint.
  4. The Project Manager's personal opinion on how fast the team should be working based on his experience with traditional waterfall projects in the past decade.
