Which one of the following is not a Scrum Artifact?
- A.
Product Backlog
- B.
Story
- C.
Sprint Backlog
- D.
Increment of Potentially Shippable Product Functionality
Correct Answer
B. StoryExplanation
The correct answer is "Story" because it is not a Scrum Artifact. In Scrum, the three main artifacts are the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Increment. The Product Backlog is a prioritized list of all the desired features, enhancements, and fixes for a product. The Sprint Backlog is a subset of the Product Backlog that contains the items selected for a specific sprint. The Increment is the sum of all the completed and potentially shippable product functionality at the end of each sprint. However, a "Story" is not considered a specific artifact in Scrum.Rate this question:

Which of the following meeting is not part of Scrum?
- A.
Product review meeting
- B.
Sprint review meeting
- C.
Sprint planning meeting
- D.
Sprint retrospective meeting
Correct Answer
A. Product review meetingExplanation
The Product review meeting is not part of Scrum. In Scrum, there are three main meetings: Sprint planning, Sprint review, and Sprint retrospective. The Sprint review meeting is held at the end of each Sprint to review the work completed and gather feedback from stakeholders. The Sprint planning meeting is held at the beginning of each Sprint to plan the work to be done. The Sprint retrospective meeting is held at the end of each Sprint to reflect on the process and identify areas for improvement. The Product review meeting, on the other hand, is not a standard Scrum meeting and may be specific to certain organizations or projects.Rate this question:
