When it comes to estimating the requirements on your Agile projects, there are three different “Sizing Units” that can be used to determine the size (referring here specifically to “Level of Effort”) of your Agile project requirements (referring here specifically to “user stories”), and the specific tasks to meet those requirements. Which of the Following is not recognized as a “unit” that can be used for estimating the size of the requirements on your Agile project?
A) Real time
B) Relative size
C) Ideal time
D) Ideal size
Correct Answer: D
"When it comes to estimating the effort to complete the requirements on your Agile projects, there are three different “Sizing Units” that can be used:
Real Time, which is sometimes called Real Days or Actual Days. This refers to the actual time during each day that the team members are available and are productively working on specific Agile project tasks.
Ideal Time, or Ideal Days, where you make the assumption that your Agile project team members will have no interruptions in their work, such as checking email or attending meetings, and will be 100% productive every hour of every day.
Relative Size, which is the recommended “sizing unit” to use for requirements size estimation on your Agile project. This sizing unit allows you to estimate the “level of effort” a user story will take to complete, relative to the other user stories you will be performing on your Agile project.
Ideal Size is not a recognized sizing unit for estimating the level effort of effort to complete an Agile project requirement."

Agile project management and product development uses several different types of documents specific to each iteration, which are referred to as "artifacts". All of the following are Agile iteration artifacts except:
A) Iteration Vision Statement
B) Iteration Backlog
C) Iteration Plan
D) Iteration Burnup Chart
Correct Answer: A
The four main artifacts used in Agile project management and product development are the Iteration Plan, Iteration Backlog, Iteration Burndown Charts and Iteration Burnup Charts. The only type of "vision statement" used as an artifact in Agile is the Product Vision Statement. The "Iteration Vision Statement" is a completely fake term that we made up for this question.
