Question 1
A software pilot produces many bug categories and management asks which defect types dominate the backlog. Which TWO complementary steps provide the best response AND its necessary supporting assessment? Select TWO.
Explanation
Correct Answers
Inspect defect categories, count consistency, sorted totals, cumulative percentages, and data collection interval. This checks the relevant condition before the team intervenes. A Pareto chart orders categories by contribution and displays cumulative impact; it is not primarily a timeline of process stability. The controlled response is: Create a Pareto chart grouping recurring issue categories by frequency or impact to focus improvement on the largest contributors. It complements the associated implementation step. Situation: A software pilot produces many bug categories and management asks which defect types dominate the backlog.
Create a Pareto chart grouping recurring issue categories by frequency or impact to focus improvement on the largest contributors. This targets the specific project decision. A Pareto chart orders categories by contribution and displays cumulative impact; it is not primarily a timeline of process stability. Before committing, assess: Inspect defect categories, count consistency, sorted totals, cumulative percentages, and data collection interval. It complements the associated assessment evidence. Situation: A software pilot produces many bug categories and management asks which defect types dominate the backlog.
Incorrect Answers
Inspect whether the event has already occurred, current impact, likelihood, resolution status, and register update history. This is useful for Risk register versus issue log but is not one of the complementary steps for this case. The appropriate paired decision combines: Create a Pareto chart grouping recurring issue categories by frequency or impact to focus improvement on the largest contributors. and Inspect defect categories, count consistency, sorted totals, cumulative percentages, and data collection interval. Situation: A software pilot produces many bug categories and management asks which defect types dominate the backlog.
Every mandatory requirement has verified test coverage and outstanding gaps remain visible before signoff. This is useful for Requirements Traceability Matrix but is not one of the complementary steps for this case. The appropriate paired decision combines: Create a Pareto chart grouping recurring issue categories by frequency or impact to focus improvement on the largest contributors. and Inspect defect categories, count consistency, sorted totals, cumulative percentages, and data collection interval. Situation: A software pilot produces many bug categories and management asks which defect types dominate the backlog.
Use a fishbone diagram to organize possible causes by categories and guide evidence collection before selecting a corrective action. This is useful for Fishbone root-cause diagram but is not one of the complementary steps for this case. The appropriate paired decision combines: Create a Pareto chart grouping recurring issue categories by frequency or impact to focus improvement on the largest contributors. and Inspect defect categories, count consistency, sorted totals, cumulative percentages, and data collection interval. Situation: A software pilot produces many bug categories and management asks which defect types dominate the backlog.
