UX testing.
Scenario
You hold a meeting after a project concludes, seeking answers to the following q
uestions:
1. What did we do well that if we do not discuss we may forget?
2. What did we learn?
3. What should we do differently next time?
4. What still puzzles us?
Based on the scenario above, what type of meeting did you hold?
Choice 1
Phase II
Choice 2
Retrospective
Choice 3
SPI Determination
Choice 4
Daily Scrum
Choice 5
Agile Review
Scenario
While investigating the business process for order fulfillment at a client's off
ice, you document the following steps:
1. Receive order slip in mailroom
2. Scan order slip into recordkeeping system
3. Send order slip to order fulfillment
4. Scan order slip into document imaging system
5. Process order slip (confirm inventory, etc.)
6. Package merchandise
7. Send to shipping
Based on the scenario above, what process improvement do you suggest?
Choice 1
Link the recordkeeping system and the document imaging system, so that the order
slip is scanned once.
Choice 2
Have the mailroom staff fulfill the order in addition to processing the incoming
order slips.
Choice 3
Remove inventory verification, because the order slip never would have reached f
ulfillment if inventory was unavailable.
Choice 4
Integrate order fulfillment and the mailroom, because there is too much overlap
between their jobs.
Choice 5
Integrate the shipping department with the order fulfillment department, and cut
staff levels by half.
Scenario
While discussing the requirements for a new system, one of the stakeholders says
the following:
Our current system takes forever to process orders! It seems like we spend more
time waiting for it to accept orders than we do fulfilling the orders! Before we
had that system, we did it all by hand, and we could process an order in about
30 seconds. Our current system takes longer than that!
Based on the scenario above, what business requirement do you write?
Choice 1
Submitted orders must be fully processed in less than 30 seconds.
Choice 2
Submitted orders must be fully processed in less than 15 seconds when system loa
d allows.
Choice 3
Submitted orders must be fully processed in a reasonable amount of time.
Choice 4
The system will show proper progress information as a submitted order is process
ed.
Choice 5
A manual process will be created for instances when systematic orders are not pr
ocessed fast enough.
Why do you conduct interviews before beginning requirements gathering?
Choice 1
They result in better functional decomposition.
Choice 2
They often lead to more achievable project goals.
Choice 3
They can be a way to introduce a new project plan technique.

They can cut development time significantly.
Choice 5
They help identify all stakeholders and project goals.

helf products.
Choice 2
Browse through the code for existing projects to see what can be reused.
Choice 3
E-mail senior management to inquire about what components exist that can be reus
ed.

e project.

projects' needs.

t.
Choice 2

Choice 3
Key stakeholders within the business and stakeholders external to the business.
Choice 4

s.
Choice 5

In order to suggest requirements to stakeholders when they may be uncert
ain of the requirements themselves, it is important that you:
Choice 1
explore their current processes to fully understand them.
Choice 2
immediately begin implementing, so that if the project fails early, it can be ad
justed.
Choice 3
use the RUP approach to quickly get to the requirements.
Choice 4
inform them that you cannot proceed until they know what they want.
Choice 5
reduce the group to core stakeholders for the requirements gathering process.
You are investigating a business process required for senior managers to
make day-to-day decisions, based on the total sales for the previous day. Your
goal is to determine how it can be more efficient. You uncover a report that is
generated overnight, based on the sales of the previous day. The report takes si
x hours to produce, is 4,000 pages long, and has a summary page embedded in the
middle.
Based on the scenario above, what process improvement do you suggest to
save time and money?
Choice 1
Run the report earlier each day.
Choice 2
Code a new report that generates just the summary page.
Choice 3
Buy new high-speed printers to cut the time that the report takes to generate.
Choice 4
Generate a weekly version of the report over the weekend instead.
Choice 5
Hire a new employee who aborts the report as soon as the summary page is produce

the results are far too inflexible to allow for iterative changes to the design,
based on feedback.

As part of the initial phase of a project, you identified a series of risks that
could occur during the course of the project. You realize that there are risks
that cannot be identified beforehand, but are confident that the list that you i
dentified is as comprehensive as possible.
Based on the scenario above, what is the next logical step to developing
a risk mitigation strategy, based on the identified risks?
