True or False: Scrum is a methodology that tells in detail how to build software incrementally.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Scrum is not a methodology that provides detailed instructions on how to build software incrementally. Instead, it is an agile framework that focuses on collaboration, flexibility, and iterative development. Scrum provides a set of guidelines and principles that teams can adapt to their specific needs and context. It encourages self-organization and empowers teams to make decisions on how to best build software incrementally, rather than prescribing a specific methodology or process.Rate this question:

Why does the Product Owner want the Development Team to adhere to its definition of “Done”?
-
To be able to reprimand the team when they don’t need their velocity goal for the Sprint.
-
To know what the team will deliver over the next three Sprints.
-
To have complete transparency into what has been done at the end of each Sprint.
-
To predict the team’s productivity over time.
Correct Answer
A. To have complete transparency into what has been done at the end of each Sprint.Explanation
The Product Owner wants the Development Team to adhere to its definition of "Done" in order to have complete transparency into what has been done at the end of each Sprint. By ensuring that the team meets the agreed-upon criteria for "Done," the Product Owner can accurately assess the progress and outcomes of each Sprint. This transparency allows the Product Owner to make informed decisions, provide feedback, and effectively communicate the team's accomplishments to stakeholders.Rate this question:

There are multiple teams working on one product. True or False: Each Development Team should have a separate Product Owner.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
False. Each Development Team does not need to have a separate Product Owner. According to the Scrum framework, there is only one Product Owner who is responsible for managing the Product Backlog and prioritizing the work for the entire Scrum Team. The Development Team collaborates with the Product Owner to understand the requirements and deliver a valuable product. Having multiple Product Owners for each team could lead to conflicting priorities and hinder the efficiency of the development process.Rate this question:

When might a Sprint be abnormally cancelled?
-
When it becomes clear that not everything will be finished by the end of the Sprint.
-
When the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete.
-
When the sales department has an important new opportunity.
-
When the Development Team feels that the work is too hard.
Correct Answer
A. When the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete.Explanation
A Sprint may be abnormally cancelled when the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. The Sprint Goal is a crucial aspect of Scrum, as it provides a clear objective for the Development Team to work towards during the Sprint. If the Sprint Goal is no longer relevant or achievable, it may be necessary to cancel the Sprint to prevent wasting time and resources on work that will not contribute to the overall project goals. This decision should be made by the Product Owner in consultation with the Development Team and other stakeholders.Rate this question:

True or False: A Product Owner with multiple teams working on one product should maintain separate Product Backlogs for each team.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
A Product Owner with multiple teams working on one product should not maintain separate Product Backlogs for each team. Instead, they should maintain a single Product Backlog that encompasses all the work for the entire product. This allows for a holistic view of the product and ensures that all teams are aligned and working towards a common goal. It also helps in prioritizing and sequencing the work across teams, making sure that the most valuable features are delivered first.Rate this question:

The Development Team should have all the skills needed to:
-
Turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of potentially releasable product functionality.
-
Complete the project within the date and cost as calculated by the Product Owner.
-
Do all of the development work, expect for specialized testing that requires additional tools and environments.
Correct Answer
A. Turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of potentially releasable product functionality.Explanation
The correct answer is "Turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of potentially releasable product functionality." This answer aligns with the principle of self-organization in Scrum. The Development Team is responsible for delivering a potentially releasable Increment at the end of each Sprint. They should have all the necessary skills to take the items from the Product Backlog and transform them into a working product functionality. The answer also dismisses the idea of completing the project within a specific date and cost, as these are determined by the Product Owner, not the Development Team. Additionally, it states that the Development Team is responsible for all development work, except for specialized testing that may require additional tools and environments.Rate this question:

What might indicate to a Product Owner that she needs to work more with the Scrum Team?
-
The Increment presented at the Sprint Review does not reflect what she thought she had asked for.
-
She isn’t working full time with the Scrum team.
-
Developers leave the Team.
-
The acceptance tests don’t appear to be complete.
Correct Answer
A. The Increment presented at the Sprint Review does not reflect what she thought she had asked for.Explanation
If the Increment presented at the Sprint Review does not reflect what the Product Owner thought she had asked for, it indicates that she needs to work more with the Scrum Team. This suggests that there may be a lack of clear communication and understanding between the Product Owner and the Scrum Team. By working more closely with the team, the Product Owner can ensure that her requirements and expectations are properly conveyed, leading to a more accurate and satisfactory Increment at the Sprint Review.Rate this question:

True or False: Product Owners must specify complete acceptance criteria for a Product Backlog item before the team can select the item in Sprint Planning.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
False. While it is important for Product Owners to collaborate with the team and provide clear acceptance criteria for Product Backlog items, it is not necessary for the criteria to be fully specified before the team selects the item in Sprint Planning. The team can work with the Product Owner to refine and clarify the acceptance criteria during the Sprint Planning meeting itself. This allows for flexibility and adaptability in the development process.Rate this question:

-
The Scrum process, and how it was used during the Sprint.
-
Coding and engineering practices.
-
Sprint results.
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Sprint results.Explanation
The Sprint Review is a crucial event in Scrum where the development team presents the increment they have built during the sprint to the stakeholders. It provides an opportunity to inspect the product increment and gather feedback from stakeholders. The discussion in the Sprint Review should primarily focus on the sprint results, which include the completed user stories, any unfinished work, and the overall progress towards the project goal. While the Scrum process and coding/engineering practices are important, they are not the main topics to be discussed in the Sprint Review.Rate this question:

-
How the team collaborates.
-
Documenting acceptance criteria for items in the next Sprint.
-
Identifying high priority process improvements for the next Sprint.
-
The order of items in the Product Backlog.
Correct Answer(s)
A. How the team collaborates.
A. Identifying high priority process improvements for the next Sprint.Explanation
During a Sprint Retrospective, it is appropriate to discuss how the team collaborates as this helps identify any issues or areas for improvement in their teamwork and communication. Additionally, discussing and identifying high priority process improvements for the next Sprint is important as it allows the team to reflect on their current processes and find ways to make them more efficient and effective. However, documenting acceptance criteria for items in the next Sprint and the order of items in the Product Backlog are not appropriate topics for discussion during a Sprint Retrospective as they are more related to Sprint Planning and Product Backlog refinement activities.Rate this question:
