CAPM Iteration Planning and Agile Artifacts Practice Questions
Two agile tasks cover planning iterations and documenting adaptive project controls. Practice original questions on timeboxes, translating a WBS into backlog items, velocity, burndown and burnup charts, and the artifacts agile teams keep, each with an explanation for every option.
150 questions on the real 3-hour clock, weighted to PMI’s four domains, with the optional break after question 75, a score by domain and topic, and an explanation for every option.

What does a burnup chart show that a burndown chart can hide?
What our iterations and artifacts questions cover
- Iterations as the logical unit of adaptive planning; timeboxes, releases and their pros and cons
- Translating a WBS into features, epics and user stories for iterations
- Inputs for scope: the product vision, product backlog and definition of done
- Adaptive tracking (velocity, burndown, burnup) versus predictive tracking (baselines, variance)
- Agile artifacts: product and iteration backlogs, task boards, burndown and burnup charts, and the increment
This list is our own summary of the tasks, written for practice. PMI publishes the full task statements and enablers in the CAPM Examination Content Outline.

- An iteration is a short, fixed timebox, often one to four weeks, in which the team delivers a potentially usable increment. Unfinished work returns to the backlog; the timebox does not stretch.
- Velocity is the amount of work, often in story points, a team completes per iteration; it is used to forecast how much the team can take on, not to compare teams.
- A burndown chart shows the work remaining against time; a burnup chart shows the work completed against the total scope, so scope changes are visible.
- In an adaptive project, the product backlog replaces a detailed upfront scope baseline: it is ordered by value and refined continuously.

Common questions
What is the difference between a burndown and a burnup chart?
A burndown chart plots the work remaining over time and slopes down toward zero. A burnup chart plots the work completed rising toward a total scope line; when scope is added, the total line moves up, which a burndown chart hides.
How is a WBS translated into an adaptive plan?
The deliverables in the WBS become epics and features, which are broken into user stories small enough to finish in one iteration and ordered in the product backlog by value.
