PMP 2025: PMP Certification: Introduction to Agile (2025): New PMP Exam Prep – Video 1

Answer: B - SInce enhancement related to their Value. hence it is guidancce to valuable delivery

1. Answer D .
- [ ] Option A , good choice
- [ ] Option B is talked about value delivery which may not true even after performance improvement. So not the correct answer.
- [ ] Option C is not correct since key word is frequent reminder to improve efficiency and not mentioned particularly about identifying and resolving issues.
- [x] Option D - is more better option since keywords in the question is frequent reminder to improve efficiency, its Change for Continuous improvement.

2 Answer D - Conduct root cause analysis.
- [ ] Option A , not a good choice
- [ ] Option B says rework but they should first check what went wrong so not correct answer.
- [ ] Option C they can continue but need root cause first.
- [x] Option D - Team should do root cause to make sure not repeat the mistake. So this looks more correct than other choices.

D. Kaizen emphasis on small improvement continously

D - we are pushing the team to identify wastes and eliminate them (Kaizen) thereby doing a continuous improvement. I feel Option A is not correct as its already mentioned in the question that we are improving team performance.

Hi,

What do you mean by go back to the drawing board is it a kind of activity? -Preethi

1st sample question:
A: by a small enhancement every day, team performance will be improved. Good choice.
B: on a long run, team will be aligned to value delivery. Not so good.
C: focusing on enhancement will help identifying & resolve issues. Good choice
D: continuous improvements. Best choice as per definition of Agile.
Final answer is D, as this will lead to other 3 options.

2nd sample question:
A: as it is a mandate set by CMMI L5, just like that documents cannot be rejected.
B: can be good choice, as it provides opportunity to put your case to compliance team to seek exceptions
C: there is no role of sponsor in documentation, specifically in this case.
D: Agile says, be adaptive. As per org requirements docs are needed and prepare them. Can be possible answer.
Final answer D

3rd sample question:
A: just like that sprint cannot be cancelled. Rather the change should be planned to be included in next sprint. Not an option.
B: going back to the drawing board will enable modifying the architecture by learning from previous sprint. Can be a good choice.
C: when you know that it is not working, cannot continue work. Need to modify the approach. Not an option.
D: Conducting root-cause analysis can be done by adding in the next sprint.
Final answer B

Option D because question says one small enhancement this relates to Kaizen

Option D because question says one small enhancement this relates to Kaizen

❤

Varun able to eliminate 2 answer right away however confuse tween cancel sprint and go back to white board which one is correct

Answer D (Continuous Improvement looks correct for me as it is mentioned clearly in the Question that a small enhancement every day which is Continuous improvement. So Answer D (Continuous Improvement is the correct choice out of all other choices)

what is Alige

The man with Dhoni Voice ❤

Go back to the design board - Seems appropriate to me, because teams would already have done their RCA and basis on that they have concluded that they have re-work the entire sprint. So, they need to make architectural changes to give effect to this new development.

Varun have teaches the elimination techniques, this will be very helpful.

yes d correct as kaizen is the change for continuous improvement

good

Correct answer is: D. As it is for continuous improvement

Option A as he is focusing on improving efficiencies

D - As it explicitly specifies continuous improvement and small enhancements everyday

Eliminating ABC
Right answer is D

Varun and Gautham videos are very handy for my preparation, thank u guys and keep continuing your efforts.

Hi, I have selected the option A - Cancel the sprint. But the final answer was B- Go back to the drawing board. Does it seem they have to check the flaw and rework the design on the same sprint.

Hey Varun,

I started my PMP journey a week ago while I chose to join Eduhubspot. Tanuja helped me orient at Eduhubspot. I will be joining Gautham's weekend batch starting 31st.
In this video, I got 2 out of 3 right. Sample 1 was for daily improvement that speaks about continual improvement. Sample 3 was easy. I also feel that going back to Drawing board may help wherein a little tweak in design may help them integrate or design a bridge to integrate.

Sample question 3: I choose D - Conduct Root cause analysis as, I feel, Option A Cancelling sprint is extreme decision, C - Continue with work is not a good idea, D. Go back to drawing board, i have no idea what ths is

I had marked it as Kaizen and continuous improvement for this questions, as It is about one small enhancement, so its resonates much with kaizen

I had marked D, as it was about organizations level, not anything else.

B: Go back to drawing board,
As they have already nailed it that it does not work! That means the RC is already done, hence they shall go to the board and see what went wrong and shall try to correct and proceed.

Havent watched the video yet, but I already Thumbs up the video 🙂

Option:B is the answer since going back to the drawing board he can see the mistakes and take action

Amazing video...for AGILE concepts and questions are enough to boost confidence...taking good notes for your videos..thank u

d Kaizen as it is increental performance enhancement

C. removing excesses and use very important docs

Also D. is correct too

b is correct because leader trying to motivate for valuable delivery

Q1 Answer is D- it is very specific on getting better or improving or learning slowly

Q2: Option D: Adapt organization documentation as its necessary documentation (Since it was mentioned the document is a mandate one)

D: because it is asking how you will focus on achieving one small enhancement everyday which can be achieved by continuous improvement

while your videos are super informative, would advise to please proof read your slides and presentations as there are many spelling and grammar mistakes, which does not look professional.

Hi Varun, As per your explanation, the answer to the last question is B. But I am finding the answer to be D. My explanation is that the successful integration of the ongoing sprint with the next sprint can be found only after proceeding with the current sprint, so going back to the drawing board means we will be again starting from scratch. So it will be better to check the root cause i.e. reason for failure to integrate before moving to the drawing board. Kindly share your thoughts.

Practice Q1 - Best Ans = B. A is & C are Good, but D is out of the way.

The best answer is D. A., you don't cancel the sprint; instead, you send it back to the document backlog for review. Perhaps it might be good for some upcoming Sprint. C, you can not continue with the work because you already realize that integration does not work. B, they must have already visited the drawing board before they knew that they needed to change the system. D, before they continue with the change, they need to investigate the reason (root cause) why the first architectural base doesn't fit, so they don't make the same mistake. So, D is the best answer.

Cancel the sprint. Because the team has no other option since they found that it was a waste
