Answer : A

A DevOps professional needs:

Business skills: Understanding the business context and value.

Technical skills: Automation, coding, cloud, infrastructure.

Core (soft) skills: Collaboration, communication, empathy, learning.

Self-management: Time, priorities, feedback.

Other options miss the full blend or focus too much on tech or process.

Extract-style reference:

PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Holistic skillsets are emphasized for cross-functional teams.

Answer : C

ChatOps is the integration of chat platforms with tools and workflows, allowing teams to manage operations and incidents directly through chat.

Using an API (Application Programming Interface) is the correct, scalable way to transfer incident-related data automatically from chat clients to ITSM (IT Service Management) tools, preserving traceability and reducing manual errors.

Why not manual cut/paste? Manual processes are error-prone and slow; DevOps aims for automation and integration.

Extract-style reference: ''APIs enable seamless transfer of information between ChatOps platforms and ITSM tools, supporting automation, accuracy, and auditability in incident management.'' --- DevOps Handbook; ChatOps: Managing Operations and Collaboration in the Cloud, Jason Hand PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Promotes APIs for integration, automation, and collaboration.

Answer : C

Epics delivered is a software/process metric, not a business performance metric.

Business performance metrics include financial and market indicators: earnings, cashflow, market share, revenue growth.

Why not the others?

Earnings, Cashflow, Marketshare: Directly tied to business health.

Extract-style reference: ''Business performance metrics focus on outcomes such as earnings, cashflow, and marketshare. Agile metrics like epics delivered measure team output, not business value.'' --- Project to Product, Mik Kersten PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Distinguishes business impact from process metrics.

Answer : A

One of the core DevOps values is aligning IT efforts with business objectives---understanding the business ''why.'' The Foundation syllabus highlights the need for IT to understand the organization's purpose, cause, and belief. Without this, IT can't effectively support value delivery or drive digital transformation. Understanding the organizational ''why'' connects daily activities to strategic objectives, a key DevOps mindset. Reference: DevOps Foundation v3.6 syllabus section 1.2; 'Start with Why' by Simon Sinek.

Answer : D

Manufacturing is not a type of IT work in DevOps. DevOps classifies IT work as:

Business projects: New value-creating work.

Planned work: Routine, repeatable tasks (maintenance, upgrades).

Unplanned work: Incidents, emergencies, support.

Extract-style reference: ''IT work includes business projects, planned work, and unplanned work. Manufacturing is an analogy for flow, but not a category of IT work itself.'' --- The Phoenix Project PeopleCert DevOps Foundation v3.6: Recognizes these three categories to manage and improve IT workloads.
