Q24. You are using the Microsoft Solution Framework (MSF) for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Process Improvement 6.0 process template.
A stakeholder has requested a change, but the change request has not received the attention that it requires.
You need to escalate the change request.
What should you do?
A. . Create an impediment work item.
. Link the new impediment to the change request.
. Escalate the impediment to get the change request on track.
B. . Create a bug work item.
. Link the new bug to the change request.
. Escalate the bug to get the change request on track.
C. . Create an issue work item.
. Link the new issue to the change request.
. Escalate the issue to get the change request on track.
D. . Create another change request work item.
. Link the new change request to the change request.
. Escalate the change request to get the change request on track.
Answer: D
Explanation: If a change request does not receive the attention that it requires, escalate the matter by creating an issue work item. Link the new issue to the change request, and escalate the issue to get the change request impact assessment on track.

Q25. You are utilizing the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template.
You lead a development team that includes business analysts, developers, and testers.
You need to capture requirements and acceptance criteria. You also need to ensure that requirements and criteria can be versioned and tracked against individual test cases.
What should you do?
A. Create a document that details the requirements and acceptance tests. Store the document in TFS source control.
B. Create a document that details the requirements and acceptance tests. Store the document in the SharePoint site associated with the team project.
C. Add product backlog item (PBI) work items.
D. Create a spreadsheet that details the requirements and acceptance tests. Store the spreadsheet in TFS source control.
Answer: C
Explanation: In Team Foundation Server, the Product Backlog Item (PBI) work item type enables the Scrum Team to capture all of these various requirements with as little documentation as possible. In fact, only the title field is required. Later, as more detail emerges, the PBI can be updated to include business value, acceptance criteria, and the Development Team’s latest estimation of effort.
