Vocabuary O, P, Q Flashcards
Communication which occurs as a result of people sitting in the environment. One team member overhearing two other team members conversing is in the war room and becoming informed would be an example of this type of communication what is?
Osmotic Communication
A practice advocated in the extreme programming methodology where developers work in pairs with one programmer driving the keyboard at a time and the other looking on and participates from a different perspective. Under ideal circumstances this practice has been shown to be more efficient than having them work as individuals.
Pair Programming
A chart used, primarily and requirements gathering activities, 2 pounds conversations that might distract from the immediate goal. A stakeholder who raises a point that may be important but not necessarily relevant to the current discussion may have the issue written down on this chart for later discussion. What type of chart is this?
Parking Lot Chart
And imaginary person or identity created by the team to make interactions with the system in order to gather requirements. For example if a team were creating a point of sale system, they make up someone they call “Taylor” to represent a user who purchases large quantities of an item and then return them for credit later that day what is this called?
Persona
What do you call someone on agile project who is committed and is impacted by the outcome?
Pig
What is the cycle were popularized by Deming that proposes that work should be planned, executed, verified, and adjusted or corrected agile implements the cycle in smaller, more rapid and rations and then traditional projects?
Plan Do Check Act
One of the 12 practices of XP. This type of game is an exercise to create a release plan where each story is estimated for effort by the team, and using that information, the customer prioritizes it according to the combination of business value and effort or cost with the goal of maximizing value. The term “game” is used in the economic sense where a game requires players to make decisions and trade-offs based on the decisions of other players. Is not to be confused with an innovation game. What is this concept?
Planning Game
An exercise that has many different forms across agile project. Traditionally, team members individually estimate the effort to program a user story by writing the estimate down on an index card. Then each team member simultaneously turns over his or her card and the discussion is focused on high and low estimates understand why the nurse thinks it will be difficult or particularly easy. The team discussions and repeat as needed until all estimates are out of line Smith maybe inform of hours, days, I deal days, or affinity estimate such as extra small, small, medium, large, or extra-large T-shirts or points along the Fibonacci sequence.
Planning Poker
A way of factoring in the time value of money to calculate a project’s worth. This type of calculation is very useful to compare one potential project or opportunity with another. What is this valuation called?
Present Value
Refining agile process is to fit the project or environment. This type of tailoring is based on the principle that the process to serve the project and not vice versa. This may be performed repeatedly throughout the life of the project what is it?
Process Tailoring
All of the known features that are to be implemented throughout the project, regardless of the planned iteration or release is known as?
Product Backlog
The agile project role that represents the customer, users, and stakeholders, and understands and advocates for the overall business value a potential features. This role maintains the product backlog and also leads the first part of each iteration planning meeting.
Product Owner
An artifact that shows the overview of current and/or planned product functionality. This map will have less detail than the release plan what is it?
Product Road Map
A role defined within the extreme programming methodology that works in pairs with one person writing the code and another observed advises what is his role called?
Programmer
An iterative approach where planning occurs in cycles rather than all upfront. Projects which use this concept typically do some planning, some execution, some monitoring and controlling and then repeat that cycle. What is this concept called on agile projects?
Progressive Elaboration
