A company has decided that all projects for the year need to be created from templates and staffed in the following quarter. The projects will need to remain in a backlog until the team has capacity to work on them. There has been confusion previously because the team used Planning status for all work not started.
What should the project manager do to help the team see the difference between work in the backlog versus work that is now being planned?
Answer : C
In Workfront, creating a custom status specifically for 'Backlog' allows the team to differentiate between work that is pending capacity and work that is actively being planned. This prevents confusion and allows for better project tracking, ensuring that tasks move smoothly from backlog to the planning phase when appropriate.
What is unique to a Scrum iteration?
Answer : C
A Burndown Chart is a visual representation of work remaining versus time in a Scrum iteration. It is unique to agile methodologies like Scrum and is used to track the team's progress during a sprint. The chart helps teams visualize how much work is left to complete the sprint goal, making it a critical tool in Scrum.
Which date type should an assignee update to change the completion date of a task?
Answer : C
In Workfront, to update the planned completion of a task, the assignee should modify the 'Planned Completion Date.' This date is used for scheduling and planning purposes to track when the task is expected to be finished. Changing the 'Planned Completion Date' adjusts the task's projected timeline and allows for a recalculation of project dependencies.
To whom or what would a project owner assign a task so the task is visible in a Scrum or Kanban backlog?
Answer : C
A project manager is asked to provide a list of all projects the Marketing Group is working on for Acme Company.
What steps should the project manager take to create a custom Workfront report with this information?
Answer : A
To provide a list of all projects for a specific company (Acme) and group (Marketing), the correct approach is to filter by both Company ID and Group ID in the custom project report. This allows the project manager to isolate projects related to Acme Company that the Marketing Group is responsible for.
How would a project manager create a custom Workfront report to show information about issues logged to the projects they own?
Answer : C
To create a custom report in Workfront that focuses on issues logged to projects, the project manager needs to create a new Issue report from the Reports page. By applying a filter based on the Project Owner ID and grouping the report by project name, they can track all the issues associated with the projects they own. This approach provides clear visibility into project-related issues.
A task owner has Time Off logged in Workfront for all of next week. The owner has a task that is planned to start and is due while she is out.
What action should the task owner take?
Answer : B
In Workfront, when a task owner is unavailable due to time off, they can update the Commit Date to reflect when they are available to work on the task. This prevents delays and ensures the task is completed within a revised timeline. The Commit Date feature is designed to accommodate personal schedules and ensure tasks are accurately tracked without putting the task 'At Risk' unnecessarily.
