In accordance with Scrum theory, how should a group of 100 people be divided into multiple Development Teams? (Choose the best answer.)

Understanding the product, the product vision and the rules of the Scrum framework, the group divides itself into teams.

It doesn’t really matter because you can rotate the teams every Sprint to spread knowledge.

Check with the allocation department to see who has worked together before and make these the first teams.

Create a matrix of skills, seniority, and level of experience to assign people to teams.

You have just been hired by a company new to Scrum. Your management has assigned you to be the Scrum Master of six new Scrum Teams. These teams will build one product. Select two conditions you should strive for in this scenario. (Choose two.)

There should be six Product Owners, one for each Scrum Team.

There should be six Product Owners, reporting to a chief Product Owner.

The product has one Product Backlog.

Each Scrum Team should have a separate Product Backlog.

There should be only one Product Owner.

A Scrum Team has been working on a product for nine Sprints. A new Product Owner comes in, understanding he is accountable for the Product Backlog.

However, he is unsure about his responsibilities. Which two activities are part of the Product Owner role according to Scrum? (Choose two.)

Ensuring that the most valuable functionality is produced first, at all times.

Interacting with stakeholders.

Providing the Development Team with detailed specifications.

Describing features as Use Cases.

Creating detailed functional test cases.

User documentation is part of your definition of "Done". However, there aren’t enough technical writers for all teams. Your Development Team doesn’t have a technical writer. What should you do?

Form a separate team of technical writers that will work on an on-demand basis for the various Product Owners. Work order will be first in, first out.

Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by any available technical writers.

Wait until you have a technical writer on your Development Team to take care of this.

Your Development Team is still responsible for creating user documentation. In this case, the Development Team members will write it.

You are the Scrum Master for four Scrum Teams working from the same Product Backlog. Several of the developers come to you complaining that work identified for the upcoming two Sprints will require full-time commitment from a technical specialist who is external to the teams. What are two key concerns for the Scrum Master to take into account in this situation? (Choose two.)

The desire to maintain a stable velocity.

The benefit of Development Teams figuring out a solution for themselves.

The need to have enough work to keep all Development Team members busy.

The ability of the Development Teams to produce integrated Increments.

The Product Backlog is ordered by:

The Product Owner with the most valuable items placed at the top

Risk, where safer items are at the top, and riskier items are at the bottom

Items are randomly arranged

Size, where small items are at the top and large items are at the bottom.

What happens if the Development Team cannot complete its work by the end of the Sprint?

The Sprint is extended and future Sprints use this new duration.

The Sprint length holds and the Development Team continuously learns what is actually possible to do within a Sprint of this length.

The Sprint is extended temporarily. Lessons are taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Which topics should be discussed in the Sprint Review?

The Scrum process, and how it was used during the Sprint.

Coding and engineering practices.

Sprint results.

All of the above.

A member of the Development Team takes the Scrum Master aside to express his concerns about data security issues. What should the Scrum Master do?

Add security to the definition of "Done".

Tell the Product Owner to stop further development of features until the issues are fixed.

Create a Product Backlog item for security.

Go check with the testers.

Ask the person to share the issue with the team as soon as possible.

What does it mean for a Development Team to be cross-functional?

The Development Team includes not only developers but also business analysts, architects, and testers.

The Development Team includes cross-skilled individuals who are able to contribute to do what is necessary to deliver an increment of software.

Developers on the Development Team work closely with business analysts, architects, developers and testers who are not on the team.

The Development Team is a virtual team drawing from separate teams of business analysts, architects, developers and testers.

Sprint burndown charts are an efficient tracking tool, because they show:

An estimate of the total work remaining for the Sprint.

How much effort has gone into a Sprint.

How many hours have been worked by each Development Team member.

How many Product Backlog items remain.

How much work must a Development Team do to a Product Backlog item it selects for a Sprint?

A proportional amount of time on analysis, design, programming, testing, and documentation.

As much as it can fit into the Sprint. Any remaining work will be transferred to a subsequent Sprint.

All development work and at least some testing.

As much as it has told the Product Owner will be done for every Product Backlog item it selects in conformance with the definition of "Done".

Which statement best describes the Sprint Backlog as outcome of the Sprint Planning?

It is a complete list of all work to be done in a Sprint.

Every item has a designated owner.

Each task is estimated in hours.

It is the Development Team’s plan for the Sprint.

It is ordered by the Product Owner.
