Your company implements an Agile development methodology.
You plan to implement retrospectives at the end of each sprint.
Which three questions should you include? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
BCE
Sprint retrospective meetings -
The sprint retrospective meeting typically occurs on the last day of the sprint, after the sprint review meeting. In this meeting, your team explores its execution of
Scrum and what might need tweaking.
Based on discussions, your team might decide to change one or more processes to improve its own effectiveness, productivity, quality, and satisfaction. This meeting and the resulting improvements are critical to the agile principle of self-organization.
Look to address these areas during your team sprint retrospectives:
✑ Issues that affected your team's general effectiveness, productivity, and quality.
✑ Elements that impacted your team's overall satisfaction and project flow.
✑ What happened to cause incomplete backlog items? What actions will the team take to prevent these issues in the future?

Your team uses an agile development approach.
You need to recommend a branching strategy for the team's Git repository. The strategy must meet the following requirements.
✑ Provide the ability to work on multiple independent tasks in parallel.
✑ Ensure that checked-in code remains in a releasable state always.
✑ Ensure that new features can be abandoned at any time.
✑ Encourage experimentation.

Topic/feature branches, however, are useful in projects of any size. A topic branch is a short-lived branch that you create and use for a single particular feature or related work. This is something you've likely never done with a VCS before because it's generally too expensive to create and merge branches. But in Git it's common to create, work on, merge, and delete branches several times a day.

You integrate a cloud-hosted Jenkins server and a new Azure DevOps deployment.
You need Azure DevOps to send a notification to Jenkins when a developer commits changes to a branch in Azure Repos.
Solution: You create a service hook subscription that uses the build completed event.
Does this meet the goal?
Answer:
B
You can create a service hook for Azure DevOps Services and TFS with Jenkins.
However, the service subscription event should use the code pushed event, is triggered when the code is pushed to a Git repository.
You have a project in Azure DevOps that has a release pipeline.
You need to integrate work item tracking and an Agile project management system to meet the following requirements:
✑ Ensure that developers can track whether their commits are deployed to production.
✑ Report the deployment status.
✑ Minimize integration effort.
Which system should you use?
Answer:
D
Jira Software is a development tool used by agile teams to plan, track, and manage software releases. Using Azure Pipelines, teams can configure CI/CD pipelines for applications of any language, deploying to any platform or any cloud.
Note: Microsoft and Atlassian have partnered together to build an integration between Azure Pipelines and Jira Software.
This integration connects the two products, providing full tracking of how and when the value envisioned with an issue is delivered to end users. This enables teams to setup a tight development cycle from issue creation through release. Key development milestones like builds and deployments associated to a Jira issue can then be tracked from within Jira Software.
