  • 2. 

    Scrum does not have a role called "project manager." 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Scrum is an alternative to traditional project management. It contradicts some parts of the PMBOK (Project management body of knowledge) . The essential responsibilities of the project manager role are split up between the Team, the Product Owner, and the ScrumMaster.
    For more information, see the "Scrum Roles" in the Scrum Primer

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What does the Team attempt (nỗ lực) to develop every Sprint? 

    • A potentially-shippable product increment

    • A sellable product

    • Failing unit tests, to identify acceptance tests for the next Sprint

    • Compilable source code ready to be handed off to QA for testing

    Correct Answer
    A. A potentially-shippable product increment
    Explanation
    See "Scrum Summary" in the Scrum Primer

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The CEO asks a team member to do some work outside the goals of the current Sprint in progress. What should the team member do? 

    • Add it to the current Sprint

    • Add it to the current Sprint while swapping out committed work of equal size

    • Add it to the following Sprint

    • Inform the Product Owner so he can work with the CEO

    Correct Answer
    A. Inform the Product Owner so he can work with the CEO
    Explanation
    The Product Owner is the single person responsible for maximizing the return on investment (ROI) of the development effort.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

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

    • No, that is far too hard

    • No, each Scrum team stands alone

    • Yes, otherwise Product Owner may not be able to inspect what is done accurately

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, otherwise Product Owner may not be able to inspect what is done accurately
    Explanation
    Without integration the work there will not be a potentially-shippable product increment at the end of the Sprint

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following is the Team not responsible for? 

    • Planning how to meet a Sprint goal

    • Monitoring and optimizing the work to meet the Sprint goal at least daily

    • Monitoring and increasing productivity and learning

    • Removing impediments

    • Selecting the Product Owner

    • Resolving internal conflicts

    Correct Answer
    A. Selecting the Product Owner
    Explanation
    See also "Scrum Roles" section of Scrum Primer

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    When should the Product Backlog be re-prioritized? 

    • Always. The Product Owner should re-prioritize the Product Backlog constantly, as we learn more

    • Sometimes. The Product Owner should re-prioritize only before the elaboration (xây dựng)stage gate

    • Never. The Product Backlog should be locked down before Sprinting begins

    Correct Answer
    A. Always. The Product Owner should re-prioritize the Product Backlog constantly, as we learn more
    Explanation
    See the "Starting Scrum" section of the Scrum Primer.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    How often should the Backlog Refinement Meeting (a.k.a. "Backlog Grooming") occur?

    • Every Sprint

    • Every release cycle

    • Once, at the beginning of the project

    • Once, at the end of the project

    Correct Answer
    A. Every Sprint
    Explanation
    Most Product Backlog Items (PBIs) initially need refinement because they are too large and poorly understood. Teams have found it useful to take a little time out of Sprint Execution — every Sprint — to help prepare the Product Backlog for the next Sprint Planning Meeting.

    See also the "Backlog Refinement Meeting" section of the Scrum Primer

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which statement best describes Scrum? 

    • A complete methodology (phương pháp) that defines how to develop software

    • A cookbook that defines best practices for software development

    • A framework with built-in reality checks, within which complex products are developed

    • A defined and predictive process that conforms to the principles of Scientific Management

    Correct Answer
    A. A framework with built-in reality checks, within which complex products are developed
    Explanation
    See also Scrum Primer p4:

    "Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework for projects and product or application development."

    Explanation
    For more information, review the "Sprint Planning" section of the Scrum Primer

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    How is the Product Backlog arranged? 

    • Large items at the top to small items at the bottom

    • Safer items at the top to riskier items at the bottom

    • Most important items from customer perspective (triển vọng/quan điểm) at the top to least important items at the bottom

    • Items are randomly arranged

    • Into categories P1, P2, P3, etc

    Correct Answer
    A. Most important items from customer perspective (triển vọng/quan điểm) at the top to least important items at the bottom
    Explanation
    The Product Backlog is a one-dimensional(một chiều) (force-ranked) list in priority order. The Product Owner must constantly re-prioritize it as more is learned

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    In the Sprint Planning Meeting, a mature, experienced Team engaged in complex work commits Product Backlog Items to one Sprint. The quantity of work it commits to each Sprint should be primarily based on? 

    • Collective opinion of the Team using whatever information they need

    • Available team hours minus task hours

    • (available team hours x load factor) - task hours

    • (available team hours x (load factor + contingency (dự phòng)factor)) - task hours

    Correct Answer
    A. Collective opinion of the Team using whatever information they need
    Explanation
    When teams are given complex work that has inherent(vốn có/thuộc về) uncertainty, they must work together to decide how much items they can commit to. Teams might use previous Sprints velocity (tốc độ) or some kind of hour estimating, but in the end it will always be the teams opinion on how much they can do.

    See the "Sprint Planning" section of the Scrum Primer

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    When multiple Teams are working on one product, they should make sure each team has different Sprint start dates.

    • When the Product Owner identifies a new task

    • When the ScrumMaster identifies a new task

    • When the ScrumMaster approves them

    • Never. The Sprint Backlog is fixed and decided during Sprint Planning

    Correct Answer

    When developing a software product, how frequently do experienced Agile developers test? 

    • Every Sprint

    • Every time the code changes (potentially many times per day)

    • As soon as the QA person is available

    Correct Answer
    A. Every time the code changes (potentially many times per day)
    Explanation
    "Daily builds are for wimps." --Ron Jeffries

    While the Scrum framework does not explicitly specify technical practices, it does emphasize increasing rigor in the definition of "done." Modern software development teams have learned to use practices such as TDD (Test Driven Development), Refactoring and Continuous Integration to keep the software product in a constantly known state. For many teams, this means building much more frequently than once per day.

    • Is prioritized by the Product Owner

    • Contains estimates which the Team can change at any time
