A Development Team selects a set of Product Backlog items for a Sprint Backlog with the intent to get the selected items Done by the end of the Sprint. Which three phrases best describe the purpose of a definition of Done? (Choose three.)

A It controls whether the developers have performed their tasks.
B It provides a template for elements that need to be included in the technical documentation.
C It creates transparency over the work inspected at the Sprint Review.
D It trucks the percent completeness of a Product Backlog item.
E It guides the Development Team is creating a forecast at the Sprint Planning.
F It defines what it takes for an Increment to be ready for release.

A Scrum Master is essentially the same thing as a traditional PM (Project Manager).

A True
B False

What is the key concern when multiple Development Teams are working from the same Product Backlog?

A Minimizing dependencies between teams.
B Clear definition of requirements.
C Meeting original scope projections.
D Making sure there's enough work for everyone on every team.
E Maximizing velocity.

A properly functioning Scrum Team will have at least one Release Sprint and may well have several.

A True
B False

Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The
Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach.
A good way to continue is:

A The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as ג€Doneג€ as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, so it doesn't mess up the Product Backlog.
B Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made.
C The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. The produced software is not usable. As the rules of Scrum have not been respected, it is the Scrum Master's duty to assess whether repair is possible, or a restart with a more reliable team. If not, the Scrum Master should cancel the project.
D The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which the remaining work can be done.

Which technique is the best way the Scrum Master can ensure that the Development Team communicates effectively with the Product Owner?

A Monitor communications between them and facilitate direct collaboration.
B Teach the Development Team to talk in terms of business needs and objectives.
C Teach the Product Owner about the technologies employed during the Sprints.
D Act as a go-between for them.

As the Sprint Planning meeting progresses, the Development Team sees that the workload is greater than they can handle. Which two are valid actions? (Choose two.)

A Recruit additional Development Team members before the work can begin.
B The Development Team ensures that the Product Owner is aware, starts the Sprint, and monitors progress.
C Cancel the Sprint.
D Remove or change selected Product Backlog items.
E The Development Team works overtime during this Sprint.

Which Scrum Values are exhibited by not building Product Backlog items that have low business value? (Choose three.)

A Economic Value Added.
B Respect.
C Focus.
D Earned Value.
E Courage.

When many Scrum Teams are working on the same product, should all of their Increments be integrated every Sprint?

A Yes, but only for Scrum Teams whose work has dependencies.
B Yes, otherwise the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.
C No, each Scrum Team stands alone.
D No, that is far too hard and must be done in a hardening Sprint.

During a Sprint, when is new work or further decomposition of work added to the Sprint Backlog?

A When the Product Owner identifies new work.
B As soon as possible after they are identified.
C When the Scrum Master has time to enter them.
D During the Daily Scrum after the Development Team approves them.

Which output from Sprint Planning provides the Development Team with a target and overarching direction for the Sprint?

A The Sprint Backlog.
B The Sprint Goal
C The release plan.
D Sprint Review minutes.

Multiple Scrum Teams working on the same project must have the same Sprint start date.

A True
B False

How much time is required after a Sprint to prepare for the next Sprint?

A The break between Sprints is time-boxed to 1 week for 30 day Sprints, and usually less for shorter sprints.
B Enough time for the requirements for the next Sprint to be determined and documented.
C Enough time for the Development team to finish the testing from the last Sprint.
D None. A new Sprint starts immediately following the end of the previous Sprint.
E All of the above are allowed depending on the situation.

What is a Development Team responsible for? (Choose two.)

A Resolving internal team conflicts.
B Reporting productivity.

B The Development Team.
C The Scrum Team.
D The Product Owner.

Currently, your Development Teams are organized to address a single layer only (for example, front end, middle tier, back end, and interfaces). What are three things to consider when deciding to move away from such component teams toward feature teams? (Choose three.)

A You cannot do Scrum without feature teams.
B Productivity may suffer when making this kind of move.
C Getting support from the business side first helps.
D Feature teams have less communication overhead.
E With feature teams, it is easier to calculate the productivity per team.

A Scrum Master is keeping a list of open impediments, but it is growing and he/she has been able to resolve only a small portion of the impediments. Which three techniques would be most helpful in this situation? (Choose three.)

A Consulting with the Development Team.
B Prioritizing the list and working on them in order.
C Arranging a triage meeting with all project managers.
D Alerting management to the impediments and their impact.

How should Product Backlog items be chosen when multiple Scrum Teams work from the same Product Backlog?

A The Scrum Team with the highest velocity pulls Product Backlog items first.
B The Development Teams pull in work in agreement with the Product Owner.
C The Product Owner should provide each team with its own Product Backlog.
D Each Scrum Team takes an equal numbers of items.
E The Product Owner decides.

What are three ways Scrum promotes self-organization? (Choose three.)

A By not allowing documentation.

C Inform the Product Owner so he/she can work with the CEO.
D Add the item to the next Sprint.

The length of a Sprint should be:

A Short enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner.
B Short enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events.
C No more than one calendar month.
D All of these answers are correct.

Which three behaviors demonstrate that a team is self-organizing? (Choose three.)

A Stakeholders walking in at the Daily Scrum to check progress and work with the Scrum Master to optimize the functional scope for the Sprint.
B The Development Team members are working within the boundaries of their functional description and nicely handing off work from analyst to developer to tester to integration.
C The Product Owner doesn't need to be at Sprint Retrospectives.
D The Development Team creating their own sprint backlog, reflecting all work that is part of the definition of ג€Doneג€.
E The Development Team has all the skills needed to create a releasable Increment.
F Development Team members collaboratively selecting their own work during the Sprint.

At the seventh Sprint Review, the stakeholders are disappointed and angry. They have determined that the product or system being built will not meet their needs and will cost more than they are willing to spend. What factors likely led to this? (Choose two.)

B The Product Owner has not been keeping the stakeholders aware of the progress of the project.
