Project scenario - Get fit with football!
(Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional)

Introduction -
A Local Government Authority (LGA) has decided to organize a six-a-side football tournament. The tournament will contribute towards achieving the targets set by a national initiative to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. As part of the LGA's policy of self-funding, this has to be achieved at zero cost to the LGA (and therefore the local tax payer). The cost of the event will be covered through fees paid by teams registered to take part in the tournament, sponsorship and monies raised during the day. Any surplus would be used for the maintenance of local sports centres.
Teams can register under one of several age groups for both boys and girls. In addition, family members are asked to attend to provide support.
This sports event is designed to be a family day out. The football tournament will have an event village including a kidz'-zone, catering, car parking, mobile changing rooms and toilets. The tournament will take place on the LGA-owned football pitches near the centre of the town, although space is somewhat limited.

Scope -
The initial scope of the project includes:
a marketing campaign to promote the event;
a celebrity to open the event;
a website to provide information about the event and handle applications; an event village to support the 'family day out'; the training of LGA staff as volunteers to run and support the event; back-office processes to handle the applications; fundraising to cover the cost of the event.
The project has been set up with four work streams to deliver this work:
1. Marketing
2. Website
3. Event Village
4. Staff Training

Project Background -
The LGA have extensive experience in using PRINCE2 and will run the event as a single project. The project manager is fully conversant with PRINCE2 Agile. One office in the LGA building in the centre of town has been given to the project for the entire duration. The office is across the corridor from the Marketing Department and the project manager has already put a sign on the door that says 'Mission Control'.

Timeline -
An initial timeline has been suggested and is shown in the following diagram. The timeline may evolve due to the agile ways of working. The timeline shows how work streams are broken down into work packages and/or timeboxes.

Event Village - Additional information
The aim of the event village is to provide a range of services and activities for anyone attending the football tournament.
The event village will comprise a number of work packages:
1. Event village design
2. A 'kids-zone' which includes trampolines and swings, as well as the opportunity to try out other sporting activities
3. Stalls which will be sold to local businesses to raise funds for the event:
Refreshment stalls within a large food tent. The LGA is keen to promote the culinary diversity of the town whilst adhering to the objective of eating healthily.
There are 30 vendor stalls selling products related to the event.
The LGA has five stalls to promote their longer term aims and to demonstrate current and future initiatives.
4. A car park for 200 cars.
5. Temporary facilities including changing rooms, toilets and shower facilities.
6. Dismantling of the event village and clean up.
The Event Village Team is assembled using staff from various LGA departments who have no experience of working with agile.
Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
The project manager used the Agilometer to assess the prevailing agile environment and, consequently, took action to improve the low score achieved on the 'flexibility on what is delivered' slider.
When should the project manager undertake a further assessment in order to determine if further action is required to increase the slider score?

  • A. Sprint review.
  • B. Sprint retrospective.
  • C. Release retrospective.
  • D. Project retrospective.

Flexibility on what is delivered: Score 5

Level of Collaboration: Score 2 -

Ease of Communication: Score 3 -
Ability to work iteratively and deliver incrementally: Score 4
Advantageous Environmental Conditions: Score 5

Acceptance of Agile: Score 3 -
Which observation is appropriate at this point?

  • A. There are likely to be too many requirements that are 'Musts Haves' to be able to use PRINCE2 Agile.
  • B. The average score supports adopting Agile behaviours, concepts and techniques.
  • C. There is a need to evolve the Agilometer to better suit the needs of the project manager.
  • D. There is a need to investigate if team members have been disappointed by working in teams before.

Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
Just before the event the team finds out that a major football match is taking place during the tournament and that many people will want to see it. One solution is to hire a large TV screen to display the game in the Event Village. However, the biggest concern is that the cheapest supplier has many mandatory requirements for access, technical elements and work conditions in their contract.
If the agile environment for the project was reassessed, should the 'Advantageous Environmental Conditions' slider on the Agilometer be increased?

  • A. It should be increased because high-value contracts should be designed to reduce the risk.
  • B. It should be increased because the Event Village team is being 'change friendly' in organizing the TV screen.
  • C. It should be reduced because the TV screen would increase the 'ease of communication' slider instead.
  • D. It should be reduced because the TV screen hire company is NOT supportive to working in an agile way.

Which setting on the Agilometer is the MOST appropriate to reflect this approach?

  • A. Medium/High for 'level of collaboration' because the team manager has been involved throughout the planning process.
  • B. Medium/High for 'ability to work iteratively and deliver incrementally' because of the use of the feedback loop involving the team.
  • C. Low/Medium for 'acceptance of agile' because the teams understanding of an agile way of working could be improved.
  • D. Low/Medium for 'ease of communication' because this form of communication is too formal.

2. A 'kids-zone' which includes trampolines and swings, as well as the opportunity to try out other sporting activities
3. Stalls which will be sold to local businesses to raise funds for the event:
Refreshment stalls within a large food tent. The LGA is keen to promote the culinary diversity of the town whilst adhering to the objective of eating healthily.
There are 30 vendor stalls selling products related to the event.
The LGA has five stalls to promote their longer term aims and to demonstrate current and future initiatives.
4. A car park for 200 cars.
5. Temporary facilities including changing rooms, toilets and shower facilities.
6. Dismantling of the event village and clean up.

Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
A requirement for the changing room facilities in the Event Village has been defined as a technical story as follows:
'Changing room facilities should have water pressure between 1.5 - 3 bar and must have a water pressure of at least between 0.1 - 0.5 bar.'
Has this requirement been recorded correctly?

  • A. Yes, because a product's performance range should only appear as a technical story.
  • B. Yes, because non-functional requirements may apply to more than one user story.
  • C. No, because non-functional requirements should always be part of the user stories.
  • D. No, because non-functional requirements should only be documented as quality criteria.

Project scenario - Get fit with football!
(Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional)

Introduction -
A Local Government Authority (LGA) has decided to organize a six-a-side football tournament. The tournament will contribute towards achieving the targets set by a national initiative to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. As part of the LGA's policy of self-funding, this has to be achieved at zero cost to the LGA (and therefore the local tax payer). The cost of the event will be covered through fees paid by teams registered to take part in the tournament, sponsorship and monies raised during the day. Any surplus would be used for the maintenance of local sports centres.
Teams can register under one of several age groups for both boys and girls. In addition, family members are asked to attend to provide support.
This sports event is designed to be a family day out. The football tournament will have an event village including a kidz'-zone, catering, car parking, mobile changing rooms and toilets. The tournament will take place on the LGA-owned football pitches near the centre of the town, although space is somewhat limited.

Scope -
The initial scope of the project includes:
a marketing campaign to promote the event;
a celebrity to open the event;
a website to provide information about the event and handle applications; an event village to support the 'family day out'; the training of LGA staff as volunteers to run and support the event; back-office processes to handle the applications; fundraising to cover the cost of the event.
The project has been set up with four work streams to deliver this work:
1. Marketing
2. Website
3. Event Village
4. Staff Training

Project Background -
The LGA have extensive experience in using PRINCE2 and will run the event as a single project. The project manager is fully conversant with PRINCE2 Agile. One office in the LGA building in the centre of town has been given to the project for the entire duration. The office is across the corridor from the Marketing Department and the project manager has already put a sign on the door that says 'Mission Control'.

As a: Footballer participating in the event
I want to: Have a private cubicle to change in before my football match, without having to wait for more than 5 minutes
So that: I can be ready for the game
Which statement explains whether the 'function' in this user story is appropriate?

  • A. The function is good because it contains a solution for the requirement.
  • B. The function is good because it contains a time element that can be measured.
  • C. The function is poor because it contains a performance element that is better suited to a technical story.
  • D. The function is poor because it does NOT contain any prioritization of the requirement.
