Each question shows the correct answer and an explanation of why it is right
Creameri Ice Cream Co. has high satisfaction ratings from ice cream customers, but low employee satisfaction ratings. In the monthly engagement surveys, employees consistently state they are not always aware when shipments are scheduled to arrive and when there are company-wide announcements.
In order to help Creameri Ice Cream Co. improve employee satisfaction, what types of information should you prioritize gathering during your discovery call?
The correct answer is D. During discovery, the consultant must understand the client's current collaboration model and the pain points behind the business issue. The problem is not simply that shipments and announcements exist; the issue is that employees are not reliably informed. That points to gaps in communication workflows, channel strategy, announcement practices, operational visibility, and collaboration behavior. Option A is useful background, but the survey has already identified symptoms. The consultant now needs to understand why those symptoms occur. Option B is too narrow because shipment schedules alone will not explain broader employee communication breakdowns. Option C is unfocused and may produce irrelevant project noise. Option D is the strongest because it investigates the collaboration patterns that Slack is meant to improve: how teams communicate today, where information gets lost, who owns announcements, which channels exist, and how frontline or operational updates are distributed.
Reference topic: Discovery --- pain-point analysis, current-state collaboration assessment, employee experience, communication gaps, and business outcome alignment.
You are in a discovery session with a new client.
Which future deliverable will be most impacted by what you learn about your client's existing support model?
The correct answer is C. A client's existing support model directly affects the Governance Session because governance defines how Slack is administered, who owns specific operational responsibilities, how requests are routed, how issues are escalated, and which roles are accountable for supporting users. If the current support model is centralized through IT, distributed through business-unit admins, handled through a service desk, or managed informally through champions, that structure will shape the recommended admin operating model. Option A, Key Messaging, may be influenced slightly because launch communications should explain where users get help, but messaging is not the primary deliverable affected. Option B, Channel Strategy, may include help channels, but channel naming and structure are only one part of the support model. Option D, Grid Design Workshop, focuses on workspace architecture and access, not the operational support process. The support model belongs primarily to governance because it determines ownership, escalation, admin responsibilities, and sustainable post-launch operations.
Your client has a requirement of automatically signing users out of desktop and mobile instances of Slack every 30 days.
What settings should you recommend they have in place?
The correct answer is D. The requirement is to automatically sign users out of desktop and mobile Slack sessions every 30 days. Slack session duration is a security control, so it belongs under org security settings rather than SSO settings. The duration is configured in hours, and 30 days equals 720 hours. Option A uses the correct security-settings area but expresses the duration as calendar days rather than the tested configuration value. Option B and Option C are incorrect because they place the control under SSO settings, but the requirement concerns Slack session duration for desktop and mobile instances, not SSO configuration itself. The consultant must translate the business requirement into the correct administrative setting and format: org-level security setting plus 720-hour session duration. This supports the client's security posture by limiting persistent sessions and requiring periodic reauthentication across Slack clients.
Reference topic: Policies and Settings --- session duration, org security settings, reauthentication controls, Enterprise Grid security posture, and desktop/mobile session governance.
Your client is trying to increase Slack adoption across their grid. Their current setting for private channel creation is set to Workspace Admins and Owners only. They would like to make this available for everyone except guests.
Where can this change be made?
The correct answer is B. The client is on Enterprise Grid and wants to change private-channel creation permissions across the grid, not only inside selected workspaces. That makes this an org-level policy decision. The appropriate path is org settings, organization policies, permissions, then the channel management policy for private channels. Option A is wrong because adjusting individual workspace settings would create inconsistent behavior across the grid and would not satisfy a grid-wide adoption policy. Option C is close but too imprecise; the tested location is organization policies under permissions, not simply ''org settings, channel management.'' Option D is invalid because members cannot change administrative channel-creation policies. From a governance standpoint, allowing everyone except guests to create private channels can reduce admin bottlenecks and increase adoption, but it must still be controlled centrally so the client maintains a consistent permission model across all Enterprise Grid workspaces.
Your client wants to enforce controls and display a warning every time that @channel, @here or @everyone is used in channels with six or more members.
How should you advise them?
The correct answer is D. The client is asking for an enforceable policy behavior around broadcast mentions. In Enterprise Grid administration, this belongs under org-level policies and settings, specifically messaging permissions. A warning for @channel, @here, or @everyone helps reduce noisy broadcast behavior and forces users to pause before notifying a large audience. Option A is wrong because the question asks how to enforce the control; assuming it is always a default setting is not the correct consultant guidance. Option B is unrelated because logging on each day has nothing to do with broadcast mention warnings. Option C is also wrong because the warning must trigger when the mention is used, not merely once per day. Option D maps directly to the requirement: configure a Messaging policy in org settings so Slack warns users when they attempt to use broad notification mentions. This is a practical governance control that protects channel hygiene, reduces disruption, and supports responsible communication norms across the grid.
Reference topic: Policies and Settings --- messaging policies, broadcast mention controls, org-level permissions, notification governance, and channel-noise reduction.
