Management Yogi's Scaled Agile (CIPSA) Certification: 15 Free Questions and Answers (Part - 2)


This is in continuation of the earlier series of questions for Management Yogi's Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) certification exam. 

I'll definitely suggest that you take both the question parts together, when you attempt the questions. This way you will have continuation in your learning and get a better understanding on what kind of questions may come in your CIPSA exam. 

Also, as mentioned in the previous series, to answer these questions, you need to have: 
  • Solid understanding of Scaled Agile Management practices scaling both team-level Scrum and team-level Kanban. 
  • Good grasp of the CIPSA framework,  because the CIPSA certification course follows this framework. 
  • Sound understanding on MS Project Scaled Agile features
  • Good understanding of traditional (waterfall), team-level Scrum and team-level Kanban management.
  • Critical thinking, logical reasoning, and ability to think out of the box. 


These questions are taken from the course: Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA)  

Again, I hope you enjoy doing these questions and it helps in your preparation for the CIPSA exam.
