• Question 71:

  You manage a geographically dispersed development team that uses the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template.

  Each of the four locations has approximately six team members.

  You need to optimize the team's performance to minimize the impact of the geographic dispersion.

  What should you do?

  A. Setup a persistent video conference feed between the locations.
  B. Use a phone conference line for daily standups. Use a paper-based planning board and take snapshots of the board after daily standups.
  C. Organize the teams into a scrum of scrums, in which each location has a standalone team. Work off of a single product backlog and meet regularly with the leads of each scrum team.
  D. Use electronic planning and a shared source control repository so that all team members are using a single set of sources.
  C. Organize the teams into a scrum of scrums, in which each location has a standalone team. Work off of a single product backlog and meet regularly with the leads of each scrum team.

• Question 72:

  In Scrum, work should never be directed or assigned. When creating or updating a task, don't assign it to anyone who doesn't request the work. Professional Scrum Development with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 p.183

• Question 74:

  You develop a solution that contains an ASP.NET Model View Controller (MVC) application. You have a continuous integration build named CodeBuild which compiles the application. Your information technology (IT) department provides you

  with a virtual machine (VM) for testing purposes. The VM has Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5 installed and configured.

  Currently, developers publish to the VM directly from Visual Studio when the test team requests a deployment. The current release process is unreliable and burdensome to the development team.

  You need to create an efficient and flexible method to automate the deployment of the website when requested by the test team.

  What should you do?

  A. 1. Create a Powershell script that copies the website from the build drop folder to the test VM. 2. Check in the script to TFS. 3. Add an activity to the CodeBuild workflow that invokes the PowerShell script.
  B. 1. Create a standard environment using the test VM. 2. Create a lab workflow named DeployBuild and select CodeBuild as the source build. 3. Configure a deployment command to copy the website from the build drop folder to the IIS web directory. 4. Instruct the test team to invoke the DeployBuild when they request a new release.
  C. 1. Customize the CodeBuild workflow to copy the website from the build drop folder to the IIS web directory on the test VM. 2. Instruct the test team to invoke the CodeBuild when they wish to test.
  D. 1. Make the IIS Web Directory on the test VM a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) file share. 2. Modify the CodeBuild, setting this share as the drop folder for the build. 3. Instruct the test team to invoke the CodeBuild when they wish to test.
  B. 1. Create a standard environment using the test VM. 2. Create a lab workflow named DeployBuild and select CodeBuild as the source build. 3. Configure a deployment command to copy the website from the build drop folder to the IIS web directory. 4. Instruct the test team to invoke the DeployBuild when they request a new release.

• Question 75:

  You create a layered web application. The service layer includes a suite of nUnit tests for the code. The web application contains JavaScript and has no tests.

  You configure a build agent running as a service and create an automated build.

  You need to include unit testing in the development and automated build of the application. You need to achieve this goal with the least amount of impact to the development team.

  Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

  A. Configure the build to use the existing nUnit tests.
  B. Create QUnit tests to test the Javascript in the web application.
  C. Use Coded UI Tests to test the JavaScript in the web application.
  D. Convert all the nUnit tests for the business logic layer into MSTests.
  A. Configure the build to use the existing nUnit tests.
  B. Create QUnit tests to test the Javascript in the web application.

• Question 76:

  Your development team uses Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 with the Microsoft Framework (MSF) for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) template.

  You are reviewing outstanding issues with your team and trying to agree on whether you can mark a particular issue as resolved.

  You need to determine whether the issue has been resolved.

  Which two criteria must the team meet before the issue can be marked as resolved? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

  A. All impediments under an issue have been completed.
  B. All user stories under an issue have been completed.
  C. Stakeholders are satisfied that the issue has been resolved.
  D. All tasks under an issue have been completed.
  C. Stakeholders are satisfied that the issue has been resolved.
  D. All tasks under an issue have been completed.

• Question 77:

  Your development team uses Scrum as its process framework. The business communicates a significant change in direction. The current sprint may become obsolete due to the changes.

  You need to determine whether the current sprint should be canceled.

  Under what circumstances should you cancel the current sprint?

  A. Team members are not able to complete the tasks that were committed to for the sprint.
  B. Major changes to have doubled the required time to complete the tasks.
  C. Impediments cause the tasks to not be completed within the sprint.
  D. The sprint goal becomes obsolete.
  D. The sprint goal becomes obsolete.

  Canceling a Sprint Rarely does a Sprint need to be canceled, but it does happen. If a Sprint's forecasted work becomes irrelevant, then there is no reason to continue developing it. This can occur if the product or organization needs to change direction immediately due to a technology or market reason. Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel a Sprint. He or she may do so under the advisement of others, including stakeholders, the Development Team, or the Scrum Master. Canceled Sprints require the Scrum Team to collaborate and decide if any done work is acceptable and potentially releasable. The Scrum Team should also re-estimate any undone work, returning it to the Product Backlog. The work done on partially completed PBIs depreciates quickly and may not have any value in the future. Needless to say, canceling a Sprint will generate waste.
