Progress iteratively with feedback Flashcards

Q

What is the “Progress iteratively with feedback” principle in ITIL 4?

A

a) A method of breaking down projects into smaller, manageable chunks while continuously seeking and applying feedback for improvement.
b) Mnemonic: “LEGO Tower”
c) Imagine building a LEGO tower piece by piece, checking stability after each addition. This represents the iterative process with feedback loops.

Q

List three benefits of progressing iteratively with feedback.

A

a) 1. Greater flexibility 2. Faster responses to needs 3. Earlier problem detection
b) Mnemonic: “FFF” (Flexibility, Fast, Find early)
c) The three F’s represent the key benefits of this approach.

Q

What is a feedback loop in ITIL 4?

A

a) A situation where part of the output of an activity is used for new input, allowing continuous improvement.
b) Mnemonic: “ECHO” (Evaluate, Collect, Hear, Optimize)
c) Like an echo, feedback loops reflect information back for continuous improvement.

Q

What is a “minimum viable product” in the context of iterative progress?

A

a) A version of the final product which allows the maximum amount of validated learning with the least effort.
b) Mnemonic: “LEAN MVP” (Learn Early And Nimbly with Minimum Viable Product)
c) The acronym emphasizes the lean, efficient nature of MVPs in iterative development.

Q

What does “Comprehend the whole, but do something” mean in this principle?

A

a) Understanding the big picture is important, but taking action and making progress is equally crucial.
b) Mnemonic: “MAP IT” (Understand the Map, but Initiate Travel)
c) Like starting a journey, you need to know the overall map but also start moving.

Q

Why is constant feedback essential in iterative progress?

A

a) Because the situation is constantly changing, and feedback ensures actions remain focused and appropriate.
b) Mnemonic: “SURF” (Seek Updates Regularly for Flexibility)
c) Like surfing, you need constant updates (feedback) to adapt to changing waves (situations).

Q

What does “Fast does not mean incomplete” signify in this principle?

A

a) Even quick iterations should include all necessary elements for success, aligned with the minimum viable product concept.
b) Mnemonic: “SWIFT” (Speedy Work Includes Full Thought)
c) SWIFT emphasizes that speed doesn’t compromise completeness in iterative progress.
