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

Yes, but only for Scrum Teams whose work has dependencies.

Yes, otherwise the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.

No, each Scrum Team stands alone

No, that is far too hard and must be done in a hardening Sprint.

When can a Development Team cancel a Sprint?

It can't. Only Product Owners can cancel Sprints

When functional expectations are not well understood.

When the Product Owner is absent too often.

When the selected Product Backlog items for the Sprint become unachievable.

When a technical dependency cannot be resolved.

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

The Sprint Backlog.

The Sprint Goal

The release plan.

Sprint Review minutes

How should a Development Team deal with non-functional requirements?

Ensure every Increment meets them.

Make sure the release department understands these requirements, but it is not the Development Team's responsibility.

Handle them during the Integration Sprint preceding the Release Sprint.

Assign them to the lead developers on the team.

When is a Sprint over?

When the Product Owner says it is done.

When all Product Backlog items meet their definition of "Done

When all the tasks are completed

When the time-box expires.

Scrum has a role called "Project Manager".

True

False

What are two good ways for the Development Team to make non-functional requirements visible? (Choose two.)

Put them on a separate list on the Scrum board, available for all to see.

Add them to the Product Backlog and keep the Product Owner posted on the expected effort.

Run the integration and regression tests before the end of the Sprint, and capture the open work for the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint.

Add them to the definition of "Done" so the work is taken care of every Sprint.

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

The break between Sprints is time-boxed to 1 week for 30 day Sprints, and usually less for shorter sprints.

Enough time for the requirements for the next Sprint to be determined and documented

Enough time for the Development team to finish the testing from the last Sprint.

None. A new Sprint starts immediately following the end of the previous Sprint

All of the above are allowed depending on the situation.

In the Sprint Planning meeting, the Product Owner and the Development Team were unable to reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Development Team
couldn't figure out how many Product Backlog items it could forecast for the upcoming Sprint. They were able to agree on a Sprint Goal, however.
Which of the following two actions should the Scrum Master support? (Choose two.)

Cancel the Sprint. Send the entire team to an advanced Scrum training and then start a new Sprint.

Forecast the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, start the Sprint and continue to analyze,decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.

Continue the Sprint Planning meeting past its time-box until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well enough understood for the Development Team to make a complete forecast. Then start the Sprint.

Discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.

Ask everyone to take as much time as needed to analyze the Product Backlog first, and then reconvene another Sprint Planning meeting

Which answer best describes the topics covered in Sprint Planning?

What to do and who will do it.

How conditions have changed and how the Product Backlog should evolve

What can be done and how to do it.

What went wrong in the last Sprint and what to do differently this Sprint.

Who is on the team and what team member roles will be.

Which of the following is required by Scrum? (Choose all that apply.)

Sprint Retrospective

Members must be stand up at the Daily Scrum

Sprint Burndown Chart.

Release planning

All of the above

What is the purpose of a Sprint Review?

To take time to judge the validity of the project

To inspect the product increment with the stakeholders and collect feedback on next steps.

To review the Scrum Team's activities and processes during the Sprint.

To build team sprint.

Who determines when it is appropriate to update the Sprint Backlog during a Sprint?

The Project Manager.

The Development Team.

The Scrum Team.

The Product Owner.

Who must attend the Daily Scrum?

The Scrum Master and Product Owner.

The Development Team.

The Development Team and Product Owner.

The Scrum Team.

The Development Team and Scrum Master.

When do Development Team members take ownership of a Sprint Backlog item?(Choose the best answer.)

At the Sprint planning meeting.

During the Daily Scrum.

Never. All Sprint Backlog Items are "owned" by the entire Scrum Team.

Whenever a team member can accommodate more work.

The purpose of a Sprint is to produce a done Increment of product.

A. True

B. False

Who creates the definition of "Done"?

The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team's productivity.

The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members' definition.

The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product's success.

The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization).

Five new Scrum Teams have been created to build one product. A few of the developers on one of the Development Teams ask the Scrum Master how to coordinate their work with the order teams. What should the
Scrum Master do?

Teach the Product Owner to work with the lead developers on ordering Product Backlog in a way to avoid too much technical and development overlap during a Sprint

Teach them that it is their responsibility to work with the other teams to create an integrated increment

Collect the Sprint tasks from the teams at the end of their Sprint Planning and merge that into a consolidated plan for the entire Sprint.

Visit the five teams each day to inspect that their Sprint Backlogs are aligned

Which two things should the Development Team do during the first Sprint? (Choose two.)

Make up a plan for the rest of the project.

Analyze, describe, and document the requirements for the subsequent Sprints.

Develop at least one piece of functionality.

Analyze, design, and describe the complete architecture and infrastructure.

Create an increment of potentially releasable software.

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

By not allowing documentation.

By the Development Team deciding what work to do in a Sprint.

By preventing stakeholders from entering the development room.

By removing titles for Development Team members.

By being a lightweight framework.

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

Minimizing dependencies between teams

Clear definition of requirements

Meeting original scope projections

Making sure there's enough work for everyone on every team.

Maximizing velocity

What does it mean to say that an event has a time-box?

The event must happen at a set time.

The event must happen by a given time

The event must take at least a minimum amount of time.

The event can take no more than a maximum amount of time.

Which outcome is expected as Scrum Teams mature?

They will improve their definition of "Done" to include more stringent criteria.

The Sprint Retrospectives will grow to be longer than 4 hours.

There is no need for a time-boxed Sprint, since time-boxes are only for new Scrum Teams.

Sprint Reviews will no longer be needed.

A Scrum Master is no longer needed since they are a mature team now.

The Product Owner must release each Increment to production.

When it makes sense.

To make sure the Development Team is done every Sprint

Whenever the product is free of defects.

Without exception.

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

A. True

B. False

Scrum is a methodology that tells in detail how to build software incrementally

A. True

B. False

For which is the Scrum Master responsible?

Managing the performance of the Scrum Team.

The meetings and the objectives that a Scrum Team sets for itself.

The Scrum framework being adopted and used properly.

Keeping track of resource allocation.

A Development Team asks their Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog. The team is waiting for an external supplier to deliver a specific software component. Without that component there won't be enough
work in the next Sprint to occupy the full team. The Product Owner asks the Scrum Master for help.

What would be good advice to give the Product Owner?

Remind the Product Owner that his primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog.

Tell the Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog so the work involving the external component can be planned in a separate sprint.

Tell the Product Owner that the Product Backlog should be ordered to maximize utilization of the Development Team.

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.)

Recruit additional Development Team members before the work can begin.

The Development Team ensures that the Product Owner is aware, starts the Sprint, and monitors progress.

Cancel the Sprint.

Remove or change selected Product Backlog items

The Development Team works overtime during this Sprint.

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.)

You cannot do Scrum without feature teams.

Productivity may suffer when making this kind of move.

Getting support from the business side first helps.

Feature teams have less communication overhead.

With feature teams, it is easier to calculate the productivity per team.

Which two of the following are appropriate topics for discussion during a Sprint Retrospective? (Choose the best two answers.)

Identifying high priority process improvements for the next Sprint

The order of items in the Product Backlog

How the team collaborates

Documenting acceptance criteria for items in the next Sprint

When should a Sprint Goal be created? (Choose the best answer.)

It should have been created in the previous Sprint during Product Backlog refinement

It must be established before Sprint Planning in order to begin planning

A Sprint Goal is not mandatory in Scrum

At any time during the Sprint

During Sprint Planning

During a Sprint Retrospective, the Development Team proposes moving the Daily Scrum to only occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Which two are the most appropriate responses for the Scrum Master? (Choose the
best two answers.)

Consider the request and decide on which days the Daily Scrum should occur

Coach the team on why the Daily Scrum is important as an opportunity to update the plan

Have the developers vote

Learn why the Development Team wants this and work with them to improve the outcome of the Daily Scrum

Acknowledge and support the self-organizing team's decision

As the Development Team starts work during the Sprint, it realizes it has selected too much work to finish in the Sprint. What should it do? (Choose the best answer.)

Inform the Product Owner at the Sprint Review, but prior to the demonstration

Find another Scrum Team to give the excess work to.

As soon as possible in the Sprint, work with the Product Owner to remove some work or Product Backlog items

Reduce the definition of "Done" and get all of the Product Backlog items "Done" by the new definition

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

A Sprint Retrospective should be held: (Choose the best answer.)

At the end of each Sprint

At the beginning of each Sprint

Only when the Scrum Team determines it needs one

At the end of the last Sprint in a project or a release

A new developer is having continuing conflicts with existing Development Team members and creating a hostile environment. If necessary, who is responsible for removing the team member? (Choose the best
answer.)

The hiring manager is responsible, because he/she hired the developer

The Scrum Manager is responsible, because he/she removes Impediments

The Development Team is responsible, and may need help from the Scrum Master

The Product Owner is responsible, because he/she controls the return on investment (ROI).

Which three purposes does the definition of "Done" serve? (Choose the best three answers.)

Guide the Development Team on how many Product Backlog items to select for the Sprint

Create a shared understanding of when work is complete

Describe the purpose, objective, and time-box of each Scrum event

Describe the work that must be done before the Sprint is allowed to end

Increase transparency

The Product Owner makes sure the team selects enough from the Product Backlog for a Sprint to satisfy the stakeholders

True

False

Which statement best describes the Sprint Review? (Choose the best answer.)

It is used to congratulate the Development Team if it did what it forecast, or to punish the Development Team if it failed to meet its forecast

It is a demo at the end of the Sprint for everyone in the organization to check on the work done

It is a mechanism to control the Development Team's activities during a Sprint

It is when the Scrum Team and stakeholders inspect the outcome of a Sprint and figure out what to do next
