An organization has just hired you as a new Scrum Master to help them transition their teams from their current traditional process to Scrum. The teams are currently structured to specialize in a single function. This is also known as component teams where a team would only address a single layer (i.e. design, frontend, backend, database, testing, etc.).

What should you keep in mind when transitioning from siloed teams to cross-functional teams? (Choose two.)
- A. Newly formed teams will need time to stabilize before reaching their peak performance. During the initial stages of forming, performance will suffer and productivity may be low, although even then delivery of business value is still likely to increase.

NEW QUESTION 29
If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, all of the Scrum Teams must mutually define a Definition of Ready (DoR). The DoR is a checklist that the Product Owner must fulfill before a Product Backlog item can be presented at the Sprint Planning. This protects the Development Team from interruptions and disruptions during the Sprint.
- A. False
- B. True
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Explanation:
Product Backlog items should be clear enough and have enough information for the Product Owner and Development to understand the work that needs to be done and to create a forecast of Product Backlog items to implement the Sprint Goal. Nothing stops the flow of Sprints, for example, we do not delay the Sprint because the items are not ready. In such cases, the "unready" items would be selected for the Sprint anyway and refined during the Sprint.
In the case that the Product Backlog items are not clear enough, the Development Team forecasts 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. At the end of the Sprint, the Scrum Team can discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.
NEW QUESTION 30
What should the Development Team do if they are approached by someone outside the team and asked to add a "very important" item to a Sprint that is in progress?

- B. Add the item to the bottom of the Sprint Backlog.
- C. Add the item to the top of the next Sprint Backlog.
- D. Replace an item in the current Sprint of equal size.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Allow the Product Owner to decide what to do with the item as he/she is responsible for the flow of value.
NEW QUESTION 31
