NEW QUESTION # 132
A Scrum Master is working with a Development Team that has members in different physical locations. The Development Team meets in a variety of meeting rooms and has much to do logistically (for example, set up conference calls) before the Daily Scrum. What action should the Scrum Master take? (Choose the best answer.)

  • A. Inform management and ask them to solve it.
  • B. Allow the Development Team to self-manage and determine for itself what to do.
  • C. Set up the meeting and tell the Development Team that is how it will be done.
  • D. Ask the Development Team members to alternate who is responsible for meeting setup.

Answer: B


NEW QUESTION # 133
What are two ways that regulatory compliance issues are dealt with in Scrum?
(choose the best two answers)

  • A. They are added to the Product Backlog and addressed in early Sprints, while always requiring at least some business functionality, no matter how small.
  • B. They are addressed along with functional development of the product.
  • C. They are discussed, determined, and documented before the actual feature development Sprints.
  • D. They are addressed by a separate team who is responsible for compliance issues.

Answer: A,B

Explanation:
The best two answers are B and D. These two ways of dealing with regulatory compliance issues are consistent with Scrum's values and principles, as they allow the Scrum Team to deliver valuable and potentially releasable increments of the product while meeting the necessary standards and regulations. They also enable the Scrum Team to inspect and adapt their compliance strategy based on feedback and changing requirements.
A is not a good answer because it creates a separate silo of responsibility for compliance issues, which can lead to delays, conflicts, and inefficiencies. It also violates the Scrum value of transparency, as the compliance team may not have full visibility into the product development process.
C is not a good answer because it implies a waterfall approach that assumes all the compliance requirements are known and fixed upfront, which is rarely the case. It also reduces the flexibility and responsiveness of the Scrum Team, as they may have to follow a rigid plan that does not reflect the current reality of the product or the market.


NEW QUESTION # 134
True or False A high-performance scrum Team ensures that each increment is complete by running a Release Sprint.

  • A. True
  • B. False

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide, a high-performance Scrum Team does not run a Release Sprint, as this is not a Scrum event. A Release Sprint is a term used to describe a Sprint that is dedicated to finalizing the product for release, such as fixing bugs, polishing features, or integrating components. This is contrary to the Scrum principle of delivering a potentially releasable Increment at the end of each Sprint, regardless of whether it is actually released or not. Therefore, the answer is false.


NEW QUESTION # 135
What two factors are best considered when establishing the Sprint length? (Choose two.)

  • A. The level of uncertainty over the technology to be used.
  • B. The organization has mandated similar length sprints.
  • C. The frequency at which team formation can be changed.
  • D. The risk of being disconnected from the stakeholders.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
The correct answers are B and D, because the length of the Sprint should be chosen based on the level of uncertainty over the technology to be used and the risk of being disconnected from the stakeholders. The Scrum Guide states that "Sprints have consistent durations throughout a development effort. A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint. Sprints enable predictability by ensuring inspection and adaptation of progress toward a Sprint Goal at least every calendar month. When a Sprint's horizon is too long the Sprint Goal may become invalid, complexity may rise, and risk may increase."


NEW QUESTION # 136
At the end of a Sprint Product Backlog item worked on during the Sprint does not meet the definition of
"Done". What two things should happen with the undone Product Backlog item? (Choose two.)

  • A. Do not include the item in the Increment this Sprint.
  • B. Review the item, add the "Done" part of the estimate to the velocity and create a Story for the remaining work.
  • C. If the stakeholders agree, the Product Owner can accept it and release it to the users.
  • D. Put it on the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to decide what to do with it.

Answer: A,D


NEW QUESTION # 137
Scrum has a role called "Project Manager".

  • A. True
  • B. False

Answer: B

Explanation:
The correct answer is B, because there is no role called "Project Manager" in Scrum. The Scrum Guide states that "Scrum recognizes no titles for Development Team members other than Developer, regardless of the work being performed by the person; there are no exceptions to this rule." Therefore, Scrum has only three roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developer.


NEW QUESTION # 138
Which topics should be discussed in the Sprint Review?

  • A. All of the above.
  • B. Coding and engineering practices.
  • C. Sprint results.
  • D. The Scrum process, and how it was used during the Sprint.

Answer: C

Explanation:

NEW QUESTION # 139
At the end of a Sprint Product Backlog item worked on during the Sprint does not meet the definition of "Done". What two things should happen with the undone Product Backlog item? (Choose the best two answers.)

  • A. Do not include the item in the Increment this Sprint.
  • B. Review the item, add the "Done" part of the estimate to the velocity and create a Story for the remaining work.
  • C. If the stakeholders agree, the Product Owner can accept it and release it to the users.
  • D. Put it on the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to decide what to do with it.

Answer: A,D


NEW QUESTION # 140
The Development Team should have all the skills needed to:

  • A. Do all of the development work, except for specialized testing that requires additional tools and environments.
  • B. Turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of potentially releasable product functionality.
  • C. Complete the project within the date and cost as calculated by the Product Owner.

Answer: B


NEW QUESTION # 141
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.)

  • A. Discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.
  • B. Ask everyone to take as much time as needed to analyze the Product Backlog first, and then reconvene another Sprint Planning meeting.
  • C. 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.
  • D. Cancel the Sprint. Send the entire team to an advanced Scrum training and then start a new Sprint.
  • E. 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.

Answer: A,E

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1, the Sprint Planning meeting has a time-box of eight hours or less for a one-month Sprint. The Scrum Master ensures that the meeting is time-boxed and keeps the Scrum Team focused on the objective. If the Development Team cannot forecast how many Product Backlog items it can complete, it should still start the Sprint and work on the most likely items to meet the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Backlog can be updated throughout the Sprint as more is learned. The Scrum Master should also support the team to discuss the reasons for the lack of clarity in the Product Backlog items and how to prevent it from happening again in the next Sprint Retrospective.


NEW QUESTION # 142
Who is accountable for clearly expressing Product Backlog items? (Choose the best answer.)

  • A. The Product Owner.
  • B. The Scrum Master.
  • C. The business analyst who represents the Product Owner.
  • D. The Scrum Master, or the Scrum Master may have the Developers do it.

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide, the Product Owner is accountable for clearly expressing Product Backlog items, as he or she is responsible for managing and prioritizing the Product Backlog. The other options are not valid, as they imply that the Product Owner can be replaced by a business analyst, or that the Scrum Master or the Developers can express the Product Backlog items.


NEW QUESTION # 143
When do Development Team members take ownership of a Sprint Backlog item? (Choose the best answer.)

  • A. During the Daily Scrum.
  • B. At the Sprint planning meeting.
  • C. Never. All Sprint Backlog Items are "owned" by the entire Scrum Team.
  • D. Whenever a team member can accommodate more work.

Answer: C


NEW QUESTION # 144

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

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION # 146
Who is responsible for engaging the stakeholders?

  • A. The Project Manager.
  • B. The Product Owner.
  • C. The Development Team.
  • D. The Business Analyst.
  • E. The Team Manager.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The Product Owner is responsible for engaging the stakeholders, as stated in the Scrum Guide1: "The Product Owner is one person, not a committee. The Product Owner may represent the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog, but those wanting to change a Product Backlog item's priority must address the Product Owner."


NEW QUESTION # 147
The Daily Scrum is an event that happens every day. What would be three key concerns if the frequency were to be lowered to every two or three days? (Choose three.)

  • A. Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly.
  • B. Too much work is spent updating the Scrum board before the meeting.
  • C. The Sprint plan may become inaccurate.
  • D. Opportunities to insect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are lost.
  • E. The Scrum Master loses the ability to update the Gantt chart properly.
  • F. The Product Owner cannot accurately report progress to the stakeholders.

Answer: A,C,D

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1, the Daily Scrum is an event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work. The Daily Scrum optimizes the probability that the Developers will meet the Sprint Goal. Every day, the Developers should understand how they intend to work together as a self-organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment by the end of the Sprint. If the frequency of the Daily Scrum were to be lowered to every two or three days, some key concerns would be:
Opportunities to inspect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are lost, which may result in wasted work or missed dependencies.
Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly, which may hinder the progress and quality of the work.
The Sprint plan may become inaccurate, as changes in requirements, risks, or priorities are not reflected in a timely manner.
The other options are not valid concerns, as they are not aligned with Scrum values and principles.


NEW QUESTION # 148
Every Development Team should have: (Choose the best answer.)

  • A. The competencies and skills needed to deliver a Done Increment in a Sprint.
  • B. At least one representative from each major software engineering discipline (like QA, Dev, UX).
  • C. One Lead Developer and no more than 8 other members.

Answer: A


NEW QUESTION # 149
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. Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made.
  • B. The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as "Done" as possible.
    The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, so itdoesn't mess up the Product Backlog.
  • C. The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. Theproduced 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.

Answer: B


NEW QUESTION # 150
Who must attend the Daily Scrum?

  • A. The Scrum Master and Product Owner.
  • B. The Development Team.
  • C. The Development Team and Product Owner.
  • D. The Scrum Team.
  • E. The Development Team and Scrum Master.

Answer: D

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1, the Daily Scrum is an event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work. The Scrum Master and Product Owner may attend as observers, but only if it is useful for the Developers.


NEW QUESTION # 151
Select two ways in which technical debt impacts transparency. (Choose two.)

  • A. When calculated and estimated, the totalamount of technical debt shows exactly how long until the Product Owner can release the Increment.
  • B. As development progresses and code is added, the system becomes more difficult to stabilize, which results in future work being slowed down in unpredictable ways.
  • C. It enhances transparency for the Product Owner as a Development Team is not allowed to do additional feature development in a Sprint as long as there is technical debt.
  • D. It leads to false assumptions about the current state of the system, specifically of an Increment being releasable at the end of a Sprint.

Answer: B,D


NEW QUESTION # 152
Which two activities will a Product Owner engage in during a Sprint? (Choose two.)

  • A. Update the Sprint burndown chart.
  • B. Prioritize the Development Team's work on the Sprint Backlog.
  • C. Answer questions from the Development Team about items in the current Sprint.
  • D. Work with the stakeholders.
  • E. Run the Daily Scrum.

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
The correct answers are D and E, because these are two activities that a Product Owner can engage in during a Sprint. The Scrum Guide states that "the Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the Development Team." Therefore, the Product Owner can answer questions from the Development Team about items in the current Sprint, and work with the stakeholders to understand their needs and expectations.
