NEW QUESTION 84
Collaboration issues and technical dependencies between multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product can be fully resolved by using the correct version control tools.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
When working on complex problems in complex environments, it cannot be guaranteed that applying a specific process or tool will fix the problem. Although, process and tools are important it's more important that people collaborate and try to find different solutions together and not rely solely on a tool to fix the problem.
NEW QUESTION 85
Which two statements best describe a Sprint Goal? (Choose two.)
- A. During the Sprint Planning, the entire Scrum Team collaboratively crafts a Sprint Goal based on a business objective that the Product Owner would like to achieve that Sprint.
- B. Sprint Goals give the Development Teams flexibility and creativity on how to implement functionality during the Sprint.
- C. Sprint Goals can change as new insights emerge during the Sprint.
- D. Sprint Goals are defined when the completed work is reviewed at the end of a Sprint.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
The number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely up to the Development Team.
Only the Development Team can assess what it can accomplish over the upcoming Sprint.
The Sprint Goal is an objective set for the Sprint that can be met through the implementation of Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the Development Team on why it is building the Increment. It is created during the Sprint Planning meeting. The Sprint Goal gives the Development Team some flexibility regarding the functionality implemented within the Sprint. The selected Product Backlog items deliver one coherent function, which can be the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Goal can be any other coherence that causes the Development Team to work together rather than on separate initiatives.

NEW QUESTION 88
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 scope changes have not been tracked adequately and the change request process has not been followed properly.
- B. The stakeholders have not been using the Daily Scrum effectively to track the Development Team's progress.
- C. The project plan proposed to the sponsors at the start of the project followed stringently.
- D. The Scrum Master has not ensured transparency.
- E. The sponsors haven't been using the Sprint Reviews to actively engage, and inspect and evaluate progress.
- F. The Product Owner has not been engaging with sponsors frequently enough and has not been kept aware of the overall progress of the project.
Answer: D,E,F
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 89
During the Sprint Retrospective, the team is discussing the quality issues that prevented the team from delivering a releasable Increment at the end of the Sprint. The Development Team does, however, mention that they were able to achieve a high velocity.
What are the best two responses for Steven, their Scrum Master, to take? (Choose two.)
- A. Agree and acknowledge the Development Team's hard work, so they will be motivated to do even more in the next Sprint.
- B. Facilitate a discussion on how to improve the quality to a level high enough for the Increment to be releasable, even if the measured velocity drops in the next Sprint.
- C. Stress the value of working software over measured velocity.
- D. Acknowledge the hard work but remind the Development Team that they need to improve in order to do even more in the next Sprint.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. The primary objective of a Sprint (iteration) is to produce a potentially shippable product Increment. Having an Increment will allow the Scrum Team to know the right thing to do in the upcoming Sprint. Having a velocity is important but working software is the primary measure of progress.
NEW QUESTION 90
How much time is allowed between the conclusion of the current Sprint and the start of the next Sprint?
- A. None. A new Sprint starts immediately following the conclusion of the previous Sprint.
- B. All of the above are allowed.
- C. Enough time for the last Increment to finish testing.
- D. Enough time for the Product Owner to prepare the Product Backlog for Sprint Planning.
- E. Maximum of one day for Sprints that are time-boxed to two weeks.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION 91
Steven is a Scrum Master of a Scrum Team that is new to Scrum. At the halfway point of the Sprint, the Product Owner comes to Steven telling him that he is concerned the Development Team will not be able to complete the entire Sprint Backlog by the end of the Sprint.
What should Steven do in this situation?
- A. Motivate the Development Team to meet their commitment to the Product Owner.
- B. Add more people to the Development Team to meet the Product Owner's expectations.
- C. Coach the Product Owner that with complex software development, you cannot promise the entire scope that was forecast during Sprint Planning. As more is learned during the Sprint, work may emerge that affects the Sprint Backlog.
- D. Advise the Product Owner that the Development Team owns the Sprint Backlog and it is up to them to meet their commitments. No one tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. The Sprint Backlog is a forecast by the Development Team about what functionality will be in the next Increment and the work needed to deliver that functionality into a 'Done' Increment. The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal.
Why C is incorrect:
a) The Dev Team does not commit to finishing all items in the Sprint Backlog. Committing to completing all items would be fixed scope and fixed time leaving no room to adapt. They commit to the Sprint Goal and doing the right thing.
b) It's also incorrect for the PO to focus on completing the entire Sprint Backlog. Finishing everything should not be his main focus. Having a shippable increment that meets the Sprint Goal is more important than trying to finish everything. The advice in option C is equivalent to "Don't worry, they'll get everything done." but because of the complex domain, you cannot guarantee everything will get done.
NEW QUESTION 92
On a project where multiple Scrum Teams are working from the same Product Backlog, how should the work be distributed between teams?
- A. The Scrum Team with the highest capacity will pull items from the Product Backlog first.
- B. Each Scrum Team must have an equal amount of User Stories per Sprint.
- C. The Product Owner separates the Product Backlog items for each team.
- D. The Development Teams pull in work from a shared Product Backlog in agreement with the Product Owner and the other teams.
Answer: D
Explanation:
During Sprint Planning the number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely up to the Development Team regardless of the number of Development Teams working from the same Product Backlog. Only the Development Team can assess what it can accomplish over the upcoming Sprint.
NEW QUESTION 93
What is management's role in Scrum?
- A. To provide the necessary environment and support needed as defined by the Scrum Guide by providing insights and resources that help the Scrum Teams continue moving forward.
- B. Monitoring the Development Team's velocity.
- C. Monitoring skill levels of the Development Team.
- D. Identifying and removing people that are performing poorly.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Getting the support from the business side helps facilitate the changes that fosters empiricism, self- organization, bottom-up intelligence, and intelligent release of software.
NEW QUESTION 94
Which three statements best describe the purpose of having a Definition of Done? (Choose three.)
- A. It helps the Scrum Team decide how much time is needed before the Sprint can end.
- B. It creates transparency and provides a common understanding of the 'done' state of the Increment at the Sprint Review.
- C. It is a checklist to monitor the Development Team member's progress on a task.
- D. As the Development Team is doing the work, it provides guidance on the remaining work needed to create the potentially shippable Increment by the end of the Sprint.
- E. It provides guidance to the Development Team when they are forecasting their Sprint Backlog during the Sprint Planning.
- F. It helps the Development Team defer any pending work to subsequent Sprints.
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation:
When a Product Backlog item or an Increment is described as 'Done', everyone must understand what 'Done' means. Scrum Team members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency and is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment. This Definition of Done provides the team guidance on what it takes to make the increment shippable.
NEW QUESTION 95
Steven, the Scrum Master, observes that one of the Development Team members is not attending the Daily Scrum. The Development Team feels this is ok as they all sit in the same area and already have constant communication throughout the day.

- A. Ask the Development Team, what value will result from having all team members present at the Daily Scrum and what are the risks if members don't attend.
- B. Talk to the Development Team member privately and tell him that he needs to be a team player.
- C. The Daily Scrum is owned by the Development Team and it is their responsibility to decide which team members must participate.
- D. Start running the Daily Scrum and require all members to be in attendance.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum Team understands the purpose and value of the Scrum events. Because the Daily Scrum is owned by the Development Team, it will decide how best to run the event. And if needed the Scrum Master will coach the team to ensure the decisions stay within the boundaries of the Scrum framework.

NEW QUESTION 98
The director of engineering in your organization always stresses the importance of meeting deadlines in order for the engineering department to be seen as a reliable source for the product management department. The director has calculated that the team's velocity needs to increase an additional 15% to meet the commitment he made to management for the release date of the product.
He asks Steven, the team's Scrum Master, to increase his team's velocity. Which would be the best two responses for Steven to take? (Choose two.)
- A. He explains how a team uses the velocity of a Sprint primarily to forecast work for the next Sprint, not to perfectly predict future productivity. He refers the director to the Product Owner for all information concerning the progress of development.
- B. He helps the director understand that it typically takes a few Sprints for a team to gradually increase the velocity up to the level expected. Meanwhile he presents this to the team as a challenge and a company goal, leaving it however up to them to figure out exactly how to achieve this.
- C. He educates his director how it is part of a team's self-organization to improve velocity. He invites the director to the next Sprint Retrospective to brainstorm on how they can improve.
- D. He informs the director of organizational impediments he is aware of that prevent the team from being more productive. He suggests collaborating with him on how to remove these impediments.
- E. He tells the director that this is not his responsibility in Scrum. He tells the director to work with the Product Owner to check whether the estimates on the Product Backlog are being respected during implementation.
