Definition of done is provided by "The Team"
high performance teams trust each other - transparency is key

story board is when team is documents to understand the need and flow of the product
wire frame a raw sketch of how a screen looks like
schedule is by estimating story points and applying velocity
a spike is an experiment performed to provide a basis for making a design or developemnt decision or to answer the

ATDD is the technique based on the test driven approach where the team discusses the acceptance criteria with the Busine
a detailed set of tests are designed in advance and is accepted by the business and stakeholders. The ATDD cycle starts fr
discussions and then team distill this, followed by development and demo of item as mentioned in acceptance before mark
as DONE

This is a mitigate strategy as by taking this step team is trying to lessen the probability of risk.

This is not avoid-since team is not trying to steer clear of the risk. If team has decided not to release the product as a risk
that could have been categorized as avoid

This is not contain- because team is working on mitigation plan rather than having contingency plan , if team decided to

This not evade- since this implies that team does nothing about it and expecting to be lucky which not the case here is.

Risk Census

Risk census is the terminology used to describe a list of risks that are faced by a project and are not common to all projec
risks are specific and unique to that particular project

Seven principles for Lean software development are:

1.Respect people
2.Eliminate waste
3.Defer commitment
4.Create knowledge
5.Deliver fast

Product backlog has got 400 story points worth work.

Baseline velocity is 25 story points.
Total budget to complete this whole work is 200,000.

At the end of second iteration, actual cost = 22,500 and story points completed = 60.

What is the SPI value?

Explanation:
Correct answer is option A.
Cost per story point = total budget / total story points = 200,000/400 = 500
PV = baseline velocity *no of iterations*cost per story point = 25*2*500 = 25,000
EV = 60*cost per story points = 60*500 = 30,000
SPI = EV / PV = 30,000/25,000 = 1.2
AC is just extra information which is not required to answer this question.
