- C. Allocating enough resources before starting Sprint 1.
- D. Creating User Stories based on the requirements document.
- E. There is no such thing as Sprint.
Answer: E
Explanation:
There are no special Sprints. All Sprints are structured to produce potentially shippable product Increments.
NEW QUESTION 36
At the end of the eighth Sprint, the internal sponsors are upset and angry with the progress of the product being built. The current state of the product is not as expected and will require additional Sprints and more budget than originally anticipated at the start of the project.
What factors may have led to this? (Choose three.)
- A. The project plan proposed to the sponsors at the start of the project followed stringently.
- B. The scope changes have not been tracked adequately and the change request process has not been followed properly.
- C. The Product Owner has not been engaging with sponsors frequently enough and has not been kept aware of the overall progress of the project.
- D. The stakeholders have not been using the Daily Scrum effectively to track the Development Team's progress.
- E. The Scrum Master has not ensured transparency.
- F. The sponsors haven't been using the Sprint Reviews to actively engage, and inspect and evaluate progress.
Answer: C,E,F
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
One of the principles of agility includes working closely with business people. In order to manage stakeholder expectation, there must be open communication (through collaboration and transparency) throughout the project cycle. This maximizes alignment, helps with making business decisions, and reduces risk.
Although, the Scrum Guide does not directly state that the Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring transparency it is implicit. The Scrum Master is responsible for the process in which Scrum is adopted and enacted. Scrum is founded on empiricism and the Scrum Master helps those inside and outside the team work in an empirical environment which includes transparency (one of the three pillars of empiricism).
NEW QUESTION 37
When does a new Sprint begin?
- A. It depends on the Product Owner.
- B. Immediately after the next Sprint Planning.
- C. Immediately after the end of the previous Sprint.
- D. Every Monday.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION 38
In what two ways is velocity and technical debt related? (Choose two.)
- A. They are not related because technical debt is non-functional and velocity is calculated based on end user functionality.
- B. Adding estimates to technical debt will allow the Development Team to maintain constant velocity therefore ensuring predictability.
- C. As the Development Team is working on new Product Backlog items, they may unexpectedly run into technical debt that will result the team's velocity dropping.
- D. A Development Team can artificially increase velocity by allowing technical debt to be incurred.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Technical debt is a natural occurrence when developing complex products. It is a concept in software development that reflects the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer. And how it is managed will depend on the team AND context of the situation.
NEW QUESTION 39
A time-box is:
- A. An event that cannot take more than a maximum amount of time.
- B. An event that must happen by a specific time.
- C. An event that starts at a specific time.
- D. An event with a minimum set time.
Answer: A
Explanation:
All events are time-boxed events, such that every event has a maximum duration. Once a Sprint begins, its duration is fixed and cannot be shortened or lengthened. The remaining events may end whenever the purpose of the event is achieved, ensuring an appropriate amount of time is spent without allowing waste in the process.
NEW QUESTION 40
Select the correct Scrum Team roles defined in Scrum.
- A. Stakeholders, Scrum Master, Project Manager, Product Owner
- B. Development Team, Scrum Master, Product Owner
- C. Engineers, Business Analyst, Product Owner
- D. Product Manager, Business Analyst, Development Team, Stakeholders
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Scrum Framework only recognizes these three roles although others may be needed to help the team build the most valuable product possible.
NEW QUESTION 41
A Scrum Team has been working on a product for several iterations and has an average velocity of 55 units of
'done' work per Sprint. A second team will be added to work on the same product.
What might be the impact on the original team?
- A. Their velocity is likely to drop and be less than 55.
- B. Their velocity is likely not affected and will remain at 55.
- C. Their velocity is likely to rise and be more than 55.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Explanation:
Similar to membership changes within a single Scrum Team, adding or removing additional Scrum Teams working on the same product will impact productivity in the short term. Adding additional teams often go through recognizable stages as they change from being a collection of strangers to a united group with common goals. Bruce Tuckman's Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing model describes these stages.
NEW QUESTION 42
Your organization requires all Increments to pass user acceptance testing (UAT) before it is allowed to be released to production.
Is it a good idea to postpone UAT until the end of the project to prevent the Development Team from being disrupted during the Sprints?
- A. No, because the state of the Product Increment won't be transparent and the feedback loop would be too long.
- B. Yes, because UAT is done in a hardening Sprint before the release Sprint.
- C. Yes, because the Development Team is a self-organizing team and should not be disrupted during development.
- D. It depends on the team's Definition of Done.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver Increments of potentially releasable functionality that adhere to the Scrum Team's current definition of "Done". At the end of a Sprint, the new Increment must be "Done", which means it must be in useable condition and meet the Scrum Team's definition of "Done". An increment is a body of inspectable, done work that supports empiricism at the end of the Sprint. If UAT is a part of the team or organizational standard, then any delay in this activity will reduce transparency and increase risk.
NEW QUESTION 43
What factors are best considered when defining the Sprint length?
- A. The level of expertise over the technology to be used, ability to release an Increment to the end users, and the risk of being disconnected from the stakeholders.
- B. Having consistent Sprint length across all Scrum Teams.
- C. How often team membership changes and the size of the Development Team.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION 44
How should a Scrum Master respond if the Product Owner plans the first Sprint to only focus on setting up the infrastructure and architecture in order to work on functionality in a subsequent Sprint?
- A. Help the Product Owner understand the value of including business functionality into every Sprint and explain to him/her that the best architecture and infrastructure emerge alongside the development of the functionality.
- B. Add at least one technical architect to the Development Team to ensure the architecture can be completed in the first Sprint.
- C. Support the Product Owner's decision as he/she is accountable for maximizing the value of the work that the Development Team does.
- D. Explain that one Sprint may be too short to finish the architecture and he should pre-allocate subsequent Sprints just in case.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Getting feedback from the Users and Stakeholders is a crucial activity in Scrum. It reduces waste from building items that add no value. Saying that, the best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self- organizing teams.
NEW QUESTION 45
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. True
- B. False
Answer: B
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 46
During the Sprint Review of a scaled development effort, each Scrum Team should demonstrate its individual Increment in a separate branch of the code.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the Development Teams on all the Scrum Teams must mutually define the definition of "Done". Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly tested, ensuring that all Increments work together.
NEW QUESTION 47
A Development Team, that has remote team members, typically spends time before the Daily Scrum to setup the meeting rooms and conference calling equipment and tools in order to have their Daily Scrum.
How should the Scrum Master handle this situation?
- A. Allow the Development Team to self-manage and decide for itself what to do.
- B. Ask the Development Team members to alternate who is responsible for meeting setup.
- C. Setup the meeting and tell the Development Team that is how it will be done.
- D. Inform management and ask them to solve it.
Answer: A
Explanation:
As a self-organized team, they will decide for themselves how to best manage communication between team members. The Scrum Master will only take action if requested OR if he/she observes that there is a potential problem.
NEW QUESTION 48
Steven is a Scrum Master for three different teams building a single product from the same Product Backlog.
Development Team members from each team have approached Steven complaining that their teams need Nicole, an external specialist, to commit full time for their next Sprint.
Which three acceptable solutions would Steven consider? (Choose three.)
- A. For Sprints that require Nicole's expertise for more than one team, combine the teams into one and separate when they no longer need to share her services.
- B. Create a team with Nicole and people from the teams to temporarily work in Nicole's domain to serve the existing teams.
- C. People from the Development Teams with an interest in Nicole's domain could volunteer to take on this work in their respective teams.
- D. Ask Nicole for a plan to hire and train additional people in her domain, and in the meantime work with the Product Owner and Development Teams to re-prioritize the work so that tasks not depending on Nicole can be done first.
- E. Have the Development Team re-order the Product Backlog so Nicole can serve one team full-time in a Sprint.
- F. Investigate whether applying additional techniques or frameworks for scaling Scrum would be appropriate for this product team in the future, since you have multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, with dependencies between the teams.
Answer: C,E,F
Explanation:
Explanation
Explanation:
The Scrum Master is responsible for removing impediments within the current context of the situation AND boundaries defined by the Scrum framework.
NEW QUESTION 49
At the eighth Sprint Review, the stakeholders are upset that the product being built is not what they expected and will incur additional costs that was not planned for.
What may have led to this?
- A. The Scrum Master has not been attending the Daily Standup. The Product Owner has not been using the Gantt chart correctly. The Stakeholders has not been invited to the Sprint Retrospectives.
- B. The Scrum Master has not been reporting on the progress of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner has not been managing the Development Team's tasks effectively. The Development Team has not been improving their velocity.
- C. The Scrum Master has not ensured that the project is transparent. The Product Owner has not made the stakeholders aware of the progress of the project. The stakeholders have not been attending the Sprint Reviews.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Scrum requires significant aspects of the process to be visible to those responsible for the outcome. This includes transparency with internal and external stakeholders.
NEW QUESTION 50
What action can the Scrum Master take to ensure communication between the Development Team and Product Owner is effective?
- A. Ensure all communication goes through the Scrum Master first.
- B. Translate the technologies used by the Development Team in order for the Product Owner to make decisions.
- C. Observe the communications between them and facilitate discussions if needed or by request.
- D. Teach the Product Owner to talk in terms of technology and technical requirements.
Answer: C
Explanation:
One of the primary responsibilities of a Scrum Master is the ability to facilitate regardless of the context or setting.
NEW QUESTION 51
The Product Owner's primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Product Owner is also known as the value maximizer. He is responsible for maximizing the value of the work that the Development Team does. This is done through the ordering of the Product Backlog.
NEW QUESTION 52
Paul is a Product Owner for multiple products. Each product is allocated a dedicated Scrum Team and a set budget. Based on the average velocity of a previous product release, Paul had estimated a new product to take
9 Sprints to complete. The average velocity of the previous product release was 50 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the Development Team reported an average velocity of 40 completed units per Sprint, while not fully completing the required integration tests. The Development Team estimates that integration testing would require additional effort to make the increments shippable. The Development Team is unsure if the required velocity is achievable.
What is the most effective way to recover?
- A. The Scrum Master sets the open work aside to be performed in one or more release Sprints. They remind Paul to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which this remaining work can be done. Up to one release Sprint per three development Sprints may be required. It is Paul's role to inform users and stakeholders of the impact on the release date.
- B. In the next Sprints, the Development Team strives to make the selected work as close to 'done' as possible and at the minimum 90% completed. Any undone work is divided into new Product Backlog Items that will be deferred to the last Sprint in order to maintain stable velocity.
- C. The Scrum Master will manage the Sprint Backlog and assign work to the Development Team members to ensure maximum utilization of each member. He/she will keep track of unused resources so that it does not impact the budget. Unused budget can be allocated for additional Sprints if needed.
- D. The Development Team informs Paul that the progress he has perceived to date is not correct. The Increment is not releasable. They give Paul their estimate of the effort it would take to get the previous work
'done', and suggest doing that work first before proceeding with new features. The team also re-estimates the effort to make the remaining Product Backlog items 'done', including all integration effort. In the end, it is Paul's call to continue the project or to cancel.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Scrum is founded on empirical process control and asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. At the end of every Sprint, an increment of 'done' work must be available in order to inspect and adapt accordingly.
NEW QUESTION 53
Which Scrum Value is impacted by trust?
- A. Openness
- B. Commitment
- C. Focus
- D. Courage
- E. All of the above
- F. Respect
Answer: E
Explanation:
Without trust, team members will have difficulties acting and behaving in the ways that reflect the Scrum values and how effective they apply empiricism.
NEW QUESTION 54

- A. Time-boxes ensures that the Development Team commits to completing the items in the Sprint Backlog by the end of the Sprint.
- B. Time-boxes encourage the ones closest to the problem make the best possible decisions within the time- frame given the current situation.
- C. Time-boxes can help teams plan how many additional Sprints is needed for User Acceptance testing.
- D. Time-boxes helps everybody concentrate on the same problem at the same time.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Time-boxes help everyone focus on the work of the Sprint and personally commit to achieving the goals of the Scrum Team.
