How is this different from a prep book?

A book shows you questions; Prepia learns from your answers. Every session is scored instantly, your progress is tracked by subject area, and missed questions become your next study session. The same bank follows you across phone and web, so practice fits wherever your day happens.

How long do I need to prepare?

Most students study four to eight weeks, but the honest answer depends on your baseline. Start with a practice session, look at your category scores, and put your time where the gaps are. Short, consistent sessions beat cramming: the app is built for exactly that.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes: Prepia runs on iPhone, Android, and any browser with one account and synced progress. Answer ten questions in line for coffee, review rationales on the couch, and take a full practice run at your desk.

What happens if I don't pass?

Our Pass Guarantee kicks in. If you do not pass your exam, we refund your purchase in full. We do not ask for a score report. The full terms are at prepia.com/docs/pass-guarantee.

Domain V. Adaptive Planning

Answers Result

During a sprint retrospective, the team identifies a recurring problem: integrating third-party APIs frequently causes mid-sprint delays and unfinished work. What is the best approach to address this issue and improve the team's agility in future sprints?

Incorrect

A.Ask the product owner to lower the priority of all work that involves third-party APIs to avoid risk.
B.Defer third-party API integration until the end of each sprint so the team can focus on other stories first.
C.Run a root-cause analysis and create a concrete improvement plan for the next sprint (for example, an integration spike, improved mocking/contract tests, CI checks), using swarming and cross-training to reduce reliance on any one person.
D.Extend the sprint length or add extra days to future sprints to accommodate likely API integration delays.

Your agile team holds regular reviews to inspect progress and adapt upcoming work. Midway through development, customer feedback results in a significant change to product requirements. What is the most effective way to incorporate this change into an adaptive planning process?

Correct

A.Stop the current sprint immediately and restart sprint planning so the team can begin the new requirements right away.
B.Record the change request but postpone discussing it until after the next release to avoid disrupting the current plan.
C.Capture the feedback as new or updated product backlog items, collaborate with stakeholders to reprioritize during refinement, and update the roadmap/release plan to reflect the new priorities.
D.Begin implementing the change during the current sprint without updating the product backlog or release plan to remain flexible.

A project team uses an Agile framework to estimate work items. The Agile coach prepares a visual board with several predefined estimate “buckets” labeled with common story-point values (for example, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20). The team places each work item into the bucket that best matches its estimated effort. When a new work item is proposed as 13, the coach asks the team to compare it with other items already in the 13 bucket to confirm the estimate. What estimation technique is the team using?

Incorrect

A.release planning
B.affinity grouping
C.task board mapping
D.bucket sizing

D.Extend the sprint length or add extra days to future sprints to accommodate likely API integration delays.

A retrospective should produce actionable improvements that address the underlying cause of recurring delays. The choice describing a root-cause analysis plus a specific, testable plan (such as an integration spike, contract tests/mocks, and CI validation) improves predictability and reduces integration risk. Using swarming and cross-training also strengthens team adaptability and avoids creating a single point of failure. The choice about lowering priority avoids solving the integration problem and can prevent delivery of needed features. The choice about deferring integration to the end of the sprint increases the risk of late surprises and unfinished work. The choice about extending the sprint is a workaround that reduces feedback frequency rather than improving the team's capability.

Correct

A.Stop the current sprint immediately and restart sprint planning so the team can begin the new requirements right away.
B.Record the change request but postpone discussing it until after the next release to avoid disrupting the current plan.
C.Capture the feedback as new or updated product backlog items, collaborate with stakeholders to reprioritize during refinement, and update the roadmap/release plan to reflect the new priorities.
D.Begin implementing the change during the current sprint without updating the product backlog or release plan to remain flexible.

Adaptive planning means incorporating change through transparent artifacts and regular planning events. The best approach is the one that includes updating the product backlog, reprioritizing with stakeholders, and then adjusting the roadmap/release plan so expectations and sequencing reflect the new information. Stopping a sprint midstream is generally disruptive and should be avoided unless there is an exceptional reason to terminate the sprint. Deferring the discussion until after a release ignores valuable feedback and reduces responsiveness. Implementing work without updating the backlog and plans undermines transparency, traceability, and shared understanding of priorities.

Incorrect

A.release planning
B.affinity grouping
C.task board mapping
D.bucket sizing

Bucket sizing is an estimation technique where the team sorts work items into predefined size categories (buckets), often labeled with values such as 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on. Validating a new item by comparing it against other items in the same bucket is a typical part of making sure the bucket placement is reasonable. The choice mentioning “affinity grouping” is closer to clustering items by similarity (often before assigning specific numeric labels) rather than placing items into predetermined numeric buckets. “Task board mapping” focuses on visualizing workflow/status (such as To Do/In Progress/Done), not estimating. “Release planning” concerns scheduling scope across releases, not the estimation method described.
