1. Question

The Development Team should be able to explain to the Product Owner and Scrum Master how it intends to work as a self-organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment.

True False

Correct By the end of the Sprint Planning, the Development Team should be able to explain to the Product Owner and Scrum Master how it intends to work as a self-organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment.

2. Question

What factors should be considered by the Product Owner in the release decision (select four)?

The risk that the product’s value can get out of line with the marketplace Approval of the Key Stakeholders Can customers actually absorb the new release? The customers that will be constrained by the new release Does the Increment meet the Definition of “Done”? The costs and benefits of the upgrade The amount of work remaining toward the Sprint Goal

Correct While Scrum doesn’t require a release to occur every Sprint, it should be noted that the more elapsed time that accumulates since the last release, the higher the risk that the product’s value will get out of line with the marketplace. Product Owners should keep this risk in the forefront of their mind. Another factor in the release decision is whether your customers can actually absorb your frequent releases. Most customers approach this upgrade decision using a common sense method of weighing the costs and benefits of the upgrade(new increment). This is all the more reason to make sure that your releases are of the utmost value, and offer relatively low absorption costs. Regardless of the benefits and costs, some customers will still be

constrained, so this constraint should be a consideration when deciding how often or whether to release. The PO is the one and only person who can decide whether to release the latest increment of the product. The Increment is “Done” by its definition.

3. Question

When something about Scrum frustrates the Product Owner, the PO can delegate some responsibilities to the Scrum Master.

False True

The Product Owner will work in concert with the Scrum Master to utilize Scrum correctly and advantageously, and try to never been seen as subverting or disrespecting the Scrum framework. When something about Scrum frustrates a Product Owner, she should consult the Scrum Master for ways to implement the Scrum framework in a way that is effective.

4. Question

The Sprint Review is just a demo of the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint. Do you agree?

No, the Sprint Review contains much more activities No, the demo also should include the Items completed in the previous Sprints that were not demonstrated for some reason Yes. There is no much difference.

Correct No. The Sprint Review contains much more activities to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog. For example:

The Product Owner also explains what has not been “Done”; The entire group collaborates on what to do next, so that the Sprint Review provides valuable input to subsequent Sprint Planning; Review of the timeline, budget, potential capabilities, and marketplace for the next anticipated releases of functionality.

5. Question

7. Question

A Development Team is waiting for a specific software component that they need to integrate and use. The component should be ready in a month. The Backlog Items with highest priorities depend on this specific component.

What should the Product Owner do?

Make sure the dependency is visible in the Product Backlog and the Development Team has enough independent Items for the next Sprint. Transfer the dependent Items to the Integration Team Remove the dependent Items from the Product Backlog and put them in a special wait list. When the dependency is resolved, the Items should be returned back. Nothing. The Product Backlog already has the most valuable items at the top. The Development Team cannot proceed further until the dependency is resolved.

Correct The Product Backlog should make the dependency visible to all the interested parties. Usually Items with external dependencies are not considered “Ready” for selection at the Sprint Planning. Development Teams should deliver an Increment of product functionality every Sprint.

Has less detail Well refined Can be "Done" within one Sprint Somewhere at the top of the Product Backlog Somewhere at the bottom of the Product Backlog Can be implemented within one Sprint and tested in the next Sprint

Correct Higher ordered Product Backlog items are usually clearer and more detailed than lower ordered ones. More precise estimates are made based on the greater clarity and increased detail; the lower the order, the less detail. Product Backlog items that will occupy the Development Team for the upcoming Sprint are refined so that any one item can reasonably be “Done” within the Sprint time-box. Product Backlog items that can be “Done” by the Development Team within one Sprint are deemed “Ready” for selection in a Sprint Planning.

23. Question

Who is allowed to participate in the Daily Scrum?

The Key Stakeholders The Scrum Master The Product Owner The Development Team

Incorrect The Daily Scrum is an internal meeting for the Development Team. If others are present, the Scrum Master ensures that they do not disrupt the meeting.

Frequently enough to eliminate the risk that the product’s value will get out of line with the marketplace Every Sprint Every 3 months At least every 6 months

By the end of Product development

Correct While Scrum doesn’t require a release to occur every Sprint, it should be noted that the more elapsed time that accumulates since the last release, the higher the risk that the product’s value will get out of line with the marketplace. Product Owners should keep this risk in the forefront of their mind. Looking at it another way, the sooner you release, the sooner you can start capturing the value created by the product.

37. Question

Who is responsible for crafting the Sprint Goal at the Sprint Planning?

The Scrum Master The Development Team The Product Owner The Scrum Team The Key Stakeholders

Incorrect After the Development Team forecasts the Product Backlog items it will deliver in the Sprint, the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal.

38. Question

Product Backlog Refinement practice focuses on Items for upcoming Sprints, not the current Sprint in progress. True or false?

False True

Incorrect True. Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog. The Items in the current Sprint are no longer on the Product Backlog, because they are now on the Sprint Backlog. However, it is certainly fine for the Product Owner to add detail and clarification to the current Sprint’s work as well.

39. Question

Who is allowed to tell the Development Team to work from a set of requirements?

The Product Owner The Scrum Master The Product Owner and the Scrum Master The Key Stakeholders Upper Management

The Scrum Master The Development Team The Product Owner and The Scrum Master The Product Owner The Scrum Team

Correct The Product Owner is the one and only person who can decide whether to release the latest increment of the product.

45. Question

Who is responsible for creation of the Definition of “Done”?

The Scrum Team The Scrum Master The Product Owner The Development Team

Correct If the definition of “done” for an increment is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If “done” for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the Scrum Team must define a definition of “done” appropriate for the product. If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the development teams on all of the Scrum Teams must mutually define the definition of “Done.”

46. Question

The Sprint Backlog is created at the Sprint Planning. It is prohibited to add new work into the Sprint Backlog later by the Development Team.

True False

Correct The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal. As new work is required, the Development Team adds it to the Sprint Backlog.

They collaborate and interoperate through sophisticated development architectures and target release environments.

50. Question

Select the three best options to finish the sentence below.

Technical debt …

is a real risk which can genuinely be incurred compromises long-term quality of the Product reflects some extra development work is a lack of technical supplies belongs entirely to the Development Team. No one else should know about it.

Correct Technical debt is a concept in programming that reflects the extra development work that arises when code that is easy to implement in the short run is used instead of applying the best overall solution. In other words it can be defined as the longer term consequences of poor design decisions. Technical debt is a real risk which can genuinely be incurred. It compromises long-term quality of the Product.

One of the ways of handling technical debt is recording it on the Product Backlog. So, it becomes visible to the Scrum Team.

51. Question

What are the Scrum Artifacts? Select all applicable items.

Product Backlog Increment The Sprint Goal The list of removed impediments Sprint Backlog

Correct The Scrum artifacts are Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog and Increment.

69. Question

Every Product Backlog Item should be created by the Product Owner personally and only then the Development Team can add details to it at the PO’s discretion.

False True

Incorrect False. The Product Owner is solely responsible and accountable for the decisions in the Product Backlog. However, the legwork of managing the Product Backlog might be fully delegated to the Development Team, so it is quite possible that the Product Owner might not ever create or write a User Story or Product Backlog Item.

70. Question

The Product Owner wants to apply some non-functional requirements to the Product. What is the best way to proceed?

Non-functional requirements cannot be handled within the bounds of Scrum

Create a new Item for every requirement in the Product Backlog Add the non-functional requirements to the DoD and check every Increment against these criteria Find a way to convert non-functional requirements into Product features and act accordingly

Correct Non-functional requirements describe qualities of the Product being developed. For example, the Product should be secure and extensible. The only way to meet such requirements is to have them as a part of the DoD and check every Increment against these criteria.

71. Question

What are Product Backlog features? Select three.

When the final version of a product is rolled out, its Product Backlog is dismissed A Product Backlog could be closed when it contains no items to include into the next Sprint As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists It is dynamic It is never complete

Correct A Product Backlog is never complete. The earliest development of it only lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements. The Product Backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.

72. Question

If multiple Stakeholders have varied interests in the product and different viewpoints what is the best strategy for the Product Owner?

Calculate ROI (Return Of Investments) for every viewpoint and select the maximal one Stick to the viewpoint promising the fastest time-to-market Do an intelligent balancing of interests and try to maximize the value of the Product as a whole Listen to the people that fund the product’s development because they always have the last word

Correct Inherent in the role of facilitating key stakeholder involvement is weighing and balancing the (likely) differing viewpoints of multiple stakeholders who might have varied interests in the product. The Product Owner’s responsibility is to maximize the value of the product as a whole, and this will involve an intelligent balancing of interests.

73. Question

Who participates in the Sprint Review? Select all applicable variants.

The Development Team The Organization CEO The Scrum Master The Product Owner The Key Stakeholders

Correct During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders collaborate about what was done in the Sprint. Based on that and any changes to the Product Backlog during the Sprint, attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done to optimize value.

74. Question
