Q22. You manage a highly complex project by using Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 for application lifecycle management (ALM).
The project has the following characteristics:
The development team is multi-disciplined, executes all work that is required, and has a high degree of autonomy.
A key stakeholder acts as product owner to create, prioritize, and manage dynamic product requirements.
You plan and complete requirements in three week cycles.
. You do not need to keep track of an audit trail.
You need to select a development process.
What are two possible development processes you could select to achieve this goal? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)
A. MSF for CMMI Process Improvement 6.0
B. Microsoft Waterfall 6.0
C. Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0
D. Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) Process Template
E. Microsoft Kanban 1.0
Answer: CE
Explanation: You can choose based on the following considerations:
Choose Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 or later version if your team uses Scrum, manages bugs along with product backlog items during sprint planning, and wants work items and processes designed to support Scrum.
Choose MSF for Agile Software Development 6.0 or later version if your team uses Agile methods, and you resolve work items before closing them.
Choose MSF for CMMI Process Improvement 6.0 or later version if your team requires a rigorous audit trail, and follows a formal process for change management.

The SDL has been shown to reduce the number of vulnerabilities in shipping software by more than 50 percent. However, from an Agile viewpoint, the SDL is heavyweight because it was designed primarily to help secure very large products, such as Windows and Microsoft Office, both of which have long development cycles.

Q23. You have an ASP.MVC application running in production.
The application is experiencing intermittent slowdowns and client disconnections on the application tier.
You need to provide detailed execution trace information to the development team.
How should you capture this information?
A. File a bug work item in TFS directly from production.
B. Open the production server event logs in Visual Studio 2012 and create a TFS bug work item from the relevant exception messages.
C. Install and run the IntelliTrace Data Collector on the production application server(s).
D. Install and run the IntelliSense Semantics Collector on the production application server(s).
Answer: C
Q24. 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.
Answer: C
Q25. Your team is setting up a test lab for the test team. Hyper-V is not the company virtualization standard. You are in a planning meeting representing the development team.
The information technology (IT) group indicates that they are reluctant to purchase a Hyper-V server and have limited resources available for maintaining test environments.
You need to suggest a solution for managing pre-production environments.
What should you do?
A. Explain that Standard Environments in Lab Management can be used, but that IT will still have to provision test VMs.
B. Explain that TFS Lab Management is a solution, but requires Hyper-V.
C. Explain that Standard Environments in Lab Management is a solution, but requires physical machines.
D. Explain that Lab Management is a solution and that IT will not need to be involved since Lab Management can be used to self provision test VMs.
Answer: A
Explanation: Standard Environments: Standard environments can contain a mix of virtual and physical machines. You can also add virtual machines to a standard environment that are managed by third-party virtualization frameworks. In addition, standard environments do not require additional server resources such as an SCVMM server. SCVMM environments: SCVMM environments can only contain virtual machines that are managed by SCVMM (System Center Virtual Machine Manager), so the virtual machines in SCVMM environments can only run on the Hyper-V virtualization framework. However, SCVMM environments provide the following automation and management features that are not available in standard environments.

Q26. You are the product owner for a new application. You have the list of product backlog items (PBIs) with assigned business values for the first release of the application. You will be working with an established scrum master and development team. You know the team’s capacity and the planned sprint duration.
You need to plan the release schedule based on your existing backlog.
Which three actions should you and the team perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.)
A. Ask the development team to decompose the PBIs into individual tasks and estimate hours.
B. Ask the development team to provide high level estimates to complete each PBI.
C. Assign the PBIs to different sprints to define the release.
D. Use the TFS 2012 task board features.
E. Schedule the release using the Iteration Planning workbook.
F. Order the product backlog by business value.
Answer: BCE
Explanation: Not clear because according to Planning a release they say:
Note Release planning is no longer an official event in Scrum. It’s assumed that every organization will do some level of release planning. As far as Scrum is concerned, keeping the Product Backlog healthy and estimated is the best input for accurate release planning.

Q27. You are a scrum master.
You need to lead the daily scrum meeting.
Which three questions should you ask? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.)
A. What will be done before the next meeting?
B. What went well?
C. What has been accomplished since the last meeting?
D. Are there any potential improvements?
E. What obstacles are in the way?
F. Is the burndown up to date?
Answer: ACE
Explanation: The most popular technique that Development Teams use during the Daily Scrum is to stand in a circle facing each other. Each developer, in turn, answers the following three questions:
1. What have I done since the last Scrum?
2. What will I do between now and the next Scrum?
3. What impediments are in my way?
Professional Scrum Development with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 p.21
Q28. You are a technical team lead. Your company network includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server.
You are assigned to work on a project with an internal development team and an off-site vendor who is new to working with your company.
You need to ensure that the code delivered by the off-site vendor is of an acceptable quality, conforms to standards, and does not affect production support.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose three.)
A. Implement custom and standard check-in policies to force compliance to standards, passing of unit tests, and running static code analysis.
B. Implement a branching and permissions strategy that isolates vendor changes.
C. Implement an email alert that is triggered when the off-site vendor’s developers check in code.
D. Implement a gated check-in build.
E. Implement a policy requiring developers to shelve their changes at the end of each day.
Answer: ABD
Q29. Your development team uses the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template. You are the product owner.
Your product backlog includes a number of items that appear to have equal priority. However, the items have differing business value, complexity, and risk.
You need to order the backlog based on risk, complexity, and business value.
What should you do?
A. Work on items with the highest ratio of business value to effort first.
B. Work on items that have the highest effort first.
C. Work on items that have the lowest effort first.
D. Assign a risk factor to each product backlog item and work on items with the highest risk factor first.
E. Work on items that have the highest business value first.
Answer: A
Explanation: The Product Backlog should be ordered by the Product Owner to maximize the value of the software being developed. He or she will know what features and bug fixes need to be developed before others. Release planning depends on the backlog being correctly ordered. The order can be based on many factors: business value, risk, priority, technical value, learning value, or necessity. Items at a higher order are clearer and more detailed than lower-ordered ones. Effort estimates are more accurate on these items as well. In fact, the higher the order, the more a PBI or bug has been considered, and the consensus is greater regarding it, its value, and its cost.

Q30. Your development team uses the Microsoft Solution Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development 6.0 process template.
You need to determine the process to obtain the most accurate estimates for each user story in your product backlog.
What should you do?
A. Have the development team estimate and use the longest estimates.
B. Ask the product owner to provide the estimates.
C. Ask the scrum master to provide estimates.
D. Have the development team estimate until team members reach consensus.
Answer: D
