One of the strengths of qualitative research is that it can be applied to a large number of people, as it does not require a fixed sample size or a predefined set of questions. Qualitative research can use various methods, such as interviews, focus groups, observations, or document analysis, to collect data from different sources and contexts. This allows researchers to explore a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and meanings, and to generate rich and diverse insights.

Question 2
What is the most important planning question for primary research?
Options:
A.
How many people will be asked?
B.
What research medium will be used?
C.
What will be asked?
D.
Who will be asked?
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The most important planning question for primary research is what will be asked, because this determines the type, quality, and relevance of the data that will be collected. The research question or hypothesis should be specific, narrow, and discoverable through primary research methods, and it should align with the research purpose and objectives. The research question or hypothesis guides the choice of the research medium, the sample size and selection, and the data analysis and interpretation.

Question 3
What activity would be performed to create an ARTs PI Roadmap?
Options:
A.
Provide a list of agreed objectives
B.
Review the deployment windows for asset delivery
C.
Direct the intended audience to the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) scoring
D.
Calculate velocity team by team
Answer:
A
Explanation:
A PI roadmap is a visual tool that illustrates the commitments and forecasts of an Agile Release Train (ART) or Solution Train for the planned and upcoming Program Increments (PIs). One of the activities to create an ARTs PI Roadmap is to provide a list of agreed objectives, which are the SMART goals that summarize the business and technical outcomes that the ART or Solution Train intends to achieve in a PI. The objectives are derived from the features and enablers that are planned and prioritized in the PI Planning event, and they are aligned with the vision, roadmap, and strategic themes of the portfolio. The objectives are used to communicate and track the progress and value delivery of the ART or Solution Train, and to enable alignment and dependency management across multiple ARTs or Solution Trains.
