E_ACTAI_2403 Questions and Answers

The purpose of the "Scrum of Scrums" meeting is:

• A. To run an integration meeting across the various teams: This meeting facilitates coordination and collaboration among multiple Scrum teams working on different parts of the same project. It aims to address integration points and dependencies between the teams, ensuring that the project progresses smoothly and cohesively.

The Scrum of Scrums is a scaling mechanism in Agile methodologies to handle the complexities when multiple teams are involved, acting almost like a synchronization meeting for leaders or representatives from each team.References:

Agile Project Planning

A cutover typically involves:

• B. Switching productive operations to new system: This is a critical component of the cutover process, where the business officially starts operating on the new system after successful completion of the previous phases.
• D. Aligning business and technical cutover plans: Ensures that both the business and technical aspects of the project are synchronized and ready for the transition to the new system. Options A (Completing solution end-user documentation) and C (Presenting completed functionality to key users) are important tasks in a project lifecycle but are not typically considered core components of the cutover process itself.References:
• SAP Activate project management documentation
• Industry best practices on system cutover procedures

Key goals of the burndown chart in Agile project delivery include:

• C. Visualization of the size of the backlog consumed so far: The burndown chart provides a visual representation of work completed over time against the total work scope, helping teams track progress and pace.
• D. Determination of the planned go-live date based on current velocity: By analyzing the rate at which the team is completing work, project managers can forecast when the project is likely to be completed, which aids in planning for the go-live date.

Options A (Determination of the overall availability of the team for the future sprints) and B (Assignment of backlog items to future sprint up to completion of the release) are not direct goals of the burndown chart; these aspects are more related to sprint planning and capacity management.References:

Agile Project Delivery

SAP Cloud ALM leverages several tools to facilitate the management of project tasks effectively:

• A. SAP Readiness Check: This tool helps organizations assess their readiness for migration to SAP S/4HANA by analyzing their existing environment and providing insights on what needs to be addressed before, during, and after the migration process.
• B. SAP Central Business Configuration: This is a new capability that supports the configuration needs of SAP's Intelligent Enterprise Suite. It enables a guided configuration process that simplifies the setup of SAP solutions across the business landscape, ensuring a coherent and aligned configuration. Option C (SAP Solution Manager) is traditionally used for application lifecycle management in existing SAP landscapes but is distinct from SAP Cloud ALM, which is designed for cloud solutions and does not generally leverage Solution Manager directly. Option D (SAP Signavio Process Navigator) aids in process management and optimization but is not primarily a tool leveraged directly by SAP Cloud ALM for project task management.References:
• SAP Cloud ALM integration and tool documentation
• SAP Readiness Check and Central Business Configuration guides

Working in an Agile approach, especially at the beginning of the Realize phase, planning should focus on:

• C. User Stories are in Ready state for only the first 2 to 3 sprints.This approach ensures that the team has enough prepared work to start the sprints effectively, but also maintains flexibility to adapt and replan based on feedback and changes from the initial sprints.

This method helps manage the complexity and uncertainty inherent in software development by allowing for iterative assessment and adjustment of work based on team velocity and stakeholder feedback.References:

• Realize phase in Agile SAP projects

Agile Project Planning

An activity that is performed at the end of the Realize phase in SAP Activate includes:

• A. Run the user acceptance test (UAT): This is a critical activity where end-users test the system to ensure it meets their requirements and is ready for live operation. UAT is key to confirming that the system functions as expected in real-world scenarios and that any issues are identified before going live.

Option B (Perform cutover simulation), C (Load data into production system), and D (Provision development system) are important, but they do not specifically coincide with the end of the Realize phase as defined in standard SAP Activate methodology practices.References:

• Realize phase completion checklist in SAP Activate
• User acceptance testing best practices in SAP projects

Workstreams Overview

Potential use cases for SAP Cloud ALM include:

• A. Upgrading SAP S/4HANA Public Edition: SAP Cloud ALM supports the upgrade processes by providing tools and resources needed for a smooth and efficient upgrade experience.
• B. Implementing SAP Ariba: This tool facilitates the implementation of SAP Ariba by helping manage project tasks, configurations, testing, and deployment effectively. Option C (Upgrading SAP SuccessFactors) and D (Implementing Tricentis Test Automation) are not typically highlighted as direct use cases for SAP Cloud ALM, as SAP Cloud ALM specifically supports SAP solutions and their lifecycle management directly rather than third-party tools like Tricentis.References:
