The rules of Scrum bind together the events, roles, and artifacts, governing the relationships and interaction between them. How frequently should Scrum artifacts and progress toward a Sprint Goal be inspected? - Correct Answer Frequently and diligently to enable adaption. The Scrum artifacts and the progress toward agreed goals must be inspected frequently and diligently to detect potentially undesirable variances or problems.

Helping find techniques for effective Product Goal definition and Product Backlog management Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items Helping establish empirical product planning for a complex environment Facilitating stakeholder collaboration as requested or needed What should the Developers do if the work needed in the Sprint to achieve the Sprint Goal turns out to be different than predicted at Sprint Planning? - Correct Answer Discuss with the Product Owner to negotiate the scope of the Spring Backlog without affecting the Goal It is a good practice to have at least two Product Owners on big projects so there is coverage if one Product Owner is off ill.

The product is experiencing many bugs in testing. Is it normal to have a dedicated Sprint to remove all technical debt and prepare the Product for the upcoming release? - Correct Answer No It is not normal. The Scrum Team delivers at least one Increment of product functionality every Sprint. This Increment is usable, so a Product Owner may choose to immediately release it. So, there is nothing to prepare. Each increment contains only "Done" functionality that could be released immediately. What is the Developers' source of requirements for the product? - Correct Answer The Product Backlog The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product. It is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team. If there are multiple teams working on a product but on different aspects of the development they must comply with the SAME Definition of Done. True of False? - Correct Answer True If there are multiple Scrum Teams working together on a product, they must mutually define and comply with the same Definition of Done. What topics does the Sprint Planning aim to answer? Select Three. - Correct Answer How will the work needed to deliver the Increment be achieved? Why is this Sprint valuable? What can be delivered in the increment resulting from the upcoming Sprint.

Does the Daily Scrum help to eliminate the need for additional meetings. - Correct Answer Yes Daily Scrums improve communications, identify impediments, promote quick decision-making, and consequently eliminate the need for other meetings. Who in the Scrum team is responsible for monitoring progress toward high-level goals? - Correct Answer The Product Owner tracks total work remaining at least every Sprint Review. The Product Owner compares this amount with work remaining at previous Sprint Reviews to assess progress toward completing projected work by the desired time for the goal. This information is made transparent to all stakeholders. Select the three most applicable items for the Definition of Done - Correct Answer DoD ensures artifact transparency Keeps quality standards consistent through multiple development teams DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product increment What are three purposes for the Daily Scrum? - Correct Answer To inspect progress toward the sprint goal To adjust the upcoming planned work To adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary Who is responsible for projecting the likelihood of achieving the Sprint Goal by tracking the total work remaining in the Sprint Backlog at every Daily Scrum? - Correct Answer The developers

True or false, the Definition of "Done" is created during the first Sprint and should remain unchanged until the Product release? - Correct Answer False. During each Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Team plans ways to increase product quality by adapting the definition of "Done" as appropriate. Which are all the opportunities to inspect and adapt. - Correct Answer - The Sprint Retrospective The Daily Scrum The Sprint Review The Sprint The Sprint Planning Who is responsible for time and effort estimates in the Sprint Backlog? - Correct Answer The developers the Developers plan the work necessary to create an Increment that meets the Definition of Done.
