A project team is prioritizing requirements using MoSCoW. According to PRINCE2 Agile guidance, what is a sensible upper limit for the proportion of total effort that 'Must Have' requirements should consume, in order to leave room for flexing scope?
AAs close to 100% as possible, to minimize project risk
BAround 60% of total effort, and it should not exceed roughly 80%
CExactly 50%, split evenly with Should Haves
D0%, because Must Haves should always be treated as Won't Haves
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. PRINCE2 Agile's guidance on MoSCoW prioritization suggests Must Have requirements should typically represent around 60% of the total effort and should not exceed roughly 80%, leaving contingency to flex scope (via Should/Could Haves) if the fixed time and cost come under pressure. Splitting evenly or loading almost everything as Must Have removes the very flexibility MoSCoW is meant to provide.

During a sprint, a customer representative asks for a new feature to be added to the backlog after seeing an early increment. The team agrees it can be added, provided a lower-priority item of equivalent size is removed from the current scope. Which target is this behavior primarily demonstrating?
AEmbrace change
BProtect the level of quality
CKeep teams stable
DBe on time and hit deadlines
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. Swapping a new feature into the backlog for an item of equivalent size, without changing the deadline, is a direct demonstration of the 'embrace change' target: change is welcomed but managed within the fixed time and cost corners of the hexagon by flexing scope. The deadline being protected is a side effect of this behaviour rather than the target being demonstrated.

The INVEST mnemonic is commonly used within PRINCE2 Agile to assess the quality of a user story. What does the 'I' in INVEST stand for?
AImmediate
BIncremental
CIndependent
DIterative
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. INVEST is a checklist for well-formed user stories: Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small and Testable. 'Independent' means the story should be able to be developed, estimated and delivered with minimal dependency on other stories, supporting flexible prioritization and sequencing.

When applying MoSCoW to plan the effort within a delivery timeframe, PRINCE2 Agile suggests a guideline for the proportion of effort allocated to 'Must Have' requirements. Which statement best reflects this guideline?
AMust Have requirements should account for as close to 100% of the effort as possible, since anything left over is unlikely to be used.
BThe proportion of effort given to Must Haves is fixed by contract at project initiation and cannot be revisited once work begins.
CMust Have requirements should never exceed 10% of total effort, with the majority reserved for Won't Have items.
DAs a guide, Must Have requirements should account for no more than around 60% of the total effort, leaving room for some Should and Could Have requirements.
Show answer & explanation
D is correct. MoSCoW guidance within PRINCE2 Agile suggests capping the effort allocated to Must Have requirements at around 60% of the total, so that sufficient contingency remains to accommodate Should and Could Have items. This preserves the ability to flex scope while still guaranteeing delivery of the truly essential elements within fixed time and cost.

A project's Agilometer assessment produces a very low score on the slider for 'ease of contact with the customer,' because the customer organisation is overseas across several time zones and rarely available. What should the project board conclude from this result?
AThe project should immediately increase the frequency of releases to compensate for the poor score.
BThe low score identifies a risk area needing specific management action, such as agreeing structured contact windows or a proxy customer, while agile ways of working can still be considered elsewhere.
CThe result should be disregarded because the Agilometer only applies to software development projects.
DAgile ways of working must be abandoned entirely for this project because the score is too low.
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. The Agilometer is designed to surface conditions that could make agile ways of working harder to apply, so that the project can plan mitigations rather than treat the score as a veto. A low score on ease of contact typically prompts actions like scheduling regular contact windows, appointing a customer proxy, or adjusting communication cadence. It does not mean agile cannot be used at all.
