Scrum Master mock test 1 - 80 questions with explanations
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -
1. As we know, the sprint retrospective Occours after the sprint review and prior to the next sprint planning.
What are the puproses of the sprint Retrospective? (Select all that apply):
Ans : C D & E
X Get feedback from the Key Stakeholders invited by the Product Owner
X Get technical or domain advice from specialists invited by The Development Team or The Scrum Master
Correct Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools
Correct Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements
Correct Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work
2. This Scrum event supports daily inspection and adaptation
Correct Daily Scrum
Feedback
There is only one daily event in scrum: the Daily Scrum.
The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the development team.
The daily scrum is held every day of the sprint. At it, the development team plans works for the next 24 hours. This optimizes team
collaboration and performance by inspecting the work since the last daily scrum and forecasting upcoming sprint work. The daily scrum
is held at the same time and place each day to reduce complexity
3. A servant leadership role includes
Correct Schielding team members from interruptions
Feedback
One of the ways that the crum master, as a servant leadership, protects the team is by Schielding it from interruptions.
4. Dev Team are cross-functional, with all the required skills as a team to create a product increment.
what types of team members are in the development team?
Correct Anyone with the skills to accomplish the work
Feedback
The Scrum Team consists of a Product Owner, the Development Team, and a Scrum Master. <PO, DT, SM>
Scrum Teams are self-organizing and cross-functional. Self-organizing teams choose how best to accomplish their work,
rather than being directed by others outside the team. Cross-functional teams have all competencies needed to accomplish
the work without depending on others who are not part of the team. The team model in Scrum is designed to optimize
flexibility, creativity, and productivity. The scrum team has proven itself to be increasingly effecite for all the
earlier stated uses and any complex work.
5. The Product Owner and the Scrum Master be a part of the Development Team?
Correct True
Feedback
It's OK for the product owner and the scrum master to be in the development team. There is no such restriction described in the scrum guide.
Yes. Scrum does not prohibit the Product Owner or the Scrum Master do development work. However, it is not the best practice because it could create a conflict of interest.
6. Product backlog management is the process by which this role in scrum ( often in collobaration with others) adds, adjusts, refines, and prioritizes
backlog items within the product backlog to make sure the most valueable product is shipped to customers
*** New : Correct The Product Owner
Feedback
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to
the product.
The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, including its content, availability, and ordering.
7. The Scrum Master is a servant-leader for .....
New : Correct The organisation and the Scrum Team.
Feedback
The Scrum Master are servant-leaders and coaches for the Scrum Team for the Organization. They hekp educate team in scrum, extreme programming (XP), Kanban, and SAFe, ensuring
that they agreed Agile process is being followed. They also help removing impediments and foster an environment for high-performing team dyanmics, continuous flow, and
relentless improvement.
8. The Optimal size for a Development Team is :
Correct 3 to 9
Feedback
Optimal Development Team size is small enough to remain nimble <வேகமான> and large enough to complete significant work within a sprint.
Fewer than three Development Team members decreases interaction and results in smaller productivity gains.
Smaller development team may encounter skill contraints during the sprint, causing the devlopment team to be unable to deliver a potentially
releasable increment. Having more than nine members requires too much coordination. Large development teams generate too much complexity for
an empirical process to be useful. The product owner and the scrum master roles are empirical process to be useful. The Product owner and the
scrum master roles are not included in this count unless they are also executing the work of the sprint backlog.
9. One of the most challenging activities in scrum (but not mandatory) is Product backlog refinement. How should a product backlog item be refined
before its developement begins? select all correct answers
Answer : A & C
Correct In a way that it's can be "Done" in the timeboxed duration of one sprint.
** Correct In a way that it's clear enough for the developers.
X It should be clear which developer is responsible for it.
X * All the task required for completing it, should be identified.
Feedback
In a way that it's can be "Done" in the timeboxed duration of one sprint. Items at the top the product backlog
need to be small enough to fit into one sprint. They also need to be clear and detailed enough; but not too detailed (e.g.not with all the tasks idetified), as it
would be unfront planning. Tasks are created gradually during the sprint. Product Backlog items require multiple expertise, and usally done by multiple developers.
Therefore, they are not assigned. Task, however, are , assigned to the individual developers while everyone stays accountable.
10. Who creates the sprint goal?
** Correct The scrum Team ******** SG Vs ST
Feedback
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
seperate initiatives.
11. The scrum Master has the authority to allow the development team to start developing without having the tasks identified and assigned.
**** New : Correct : false
Feedback
There are two problems with this statement :
1. The scrum master doesn't manage people and cannot forbid team members from doing something and cannot order
them to do certain things. S/he should always "convince" them to do the right thing by training and coaching.
2. The development team identifies the tasks and assigns them gradually, throughout the sprint.
We don't do it upfront, at the beginning of the sprint.
12. Definition of "done".....(Select all correct answers)
Correct Helps to ensure increment is releasable
Correct Increases transparency
Feedback
When a product backlog item or an increment is described as "done", everyone must understand what "Done" means. Although this may vary significantly per
scrum team, members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency. This is the definition of "Done"
for the Scrum Team and is used to assess when work is complete on the product increment.
13. THe product owner and the scrum master cannot tell the development team how to build the product.
Correct True
Feedback
The development team is self-organized and finds its own way instead of receiving orders.
14. Choose only one correct answers of how developers should deal with non-functional features
Correct Incorporate them into every Increment
Feedback
Non-functional features are usually part of the definition of done and should be considered for every product backlog item and every increment. Sometimes,
some Non-functional features that address a very particular part of the software can be added as separate items in the product backlog. All sprints are the
same. There's no sprint zero, hardening sprint, release sprint, integration sprint, etc.
15. The Product backlog is only refined during the sprint planning and sprint review.
New : Correct False
Feedback
Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog. This is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner
and the Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items.
During Product Backlog refinement, items are reviewed and revised. The scrum team decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than
10% of the capacity of the development team. However, Product backlog items can be updated at any time by the product owner or at the product owner's discretion.
16. Which of the following is the most important opportunity for inspecting itself and create a plan for improvements?
Sprint Retrospective
Feedback
Lessons learned are always captured but the main purpose of Sprint Retrospective is capturing and planning for lessons learned.
The purpose of the sprint retrospective is to : Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools;
Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements; and,
Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work.
17. Which one of the following statements are correct: when multiple scrum teams are working on the same product ......
New : Correct There's only one product backlog for all of them
Feedback
There's only one product backlog for all of them. "One" Project and "One" product has only "one" Product Backlog and "One" Product Owner.
Otherwise, prioritization and accountability would be difficult.
18. From the following answers choose activities which are the accountability of the developement team.
Correct Make technical decisions
Correct Create releasable increments
Correct Provide Estimates
New : Feedback
Designing the software is part of the development and should be done by the developers.
They are self-organizing and make technical decisons. Estimation is the responsibility of the developers because they are the people
who will develop the tiems. The rest is done by the product owner.
Scrum foreses clear accountatbility for each scrum role :
- The Development Teams is accountable for creating releasable increments
- The Product ownere is accountable for maximizing the value of the work
- The scrum master is accountable for the understanding and application of scrum.
19. The Product Owner forecasts the completion date by using this method.
* New : Correct By any method s/he finds appropriate.
Feedback
Using a trend line in the burn-down chart can help (if the team is suing the chart), as well as simple or complex formulas
such as the one mentioned above. But all fo these are just guides for the product owner and s/he should conside all factors
and come up with a reliable completion date forecast.
20. In Scrum release is mandatory for every sprint
New : Correct False
Feedback
Every increment should be potentially releasable, but you don't have to release it every sprint.
21. A satkeholde is "a Person external to the scrum team with a specific interest in and knowledge of a product that is required for incremental discovery.
who is the most important stakeholder that the product owner should satisfy?
* New: Correct THe end users
Feedback
Considering the end users as the most important stakeholder hekps increase value.
22. which of the following factors will let the scrum team to balance creativity, efficiency, flexibility and productivity in their journey to deliver products of
the highest business value? Choose one or more correct answers/
Correct Having all the skills required to perform all their work without external hekp
Correct Structuring the team such that it can self-organize its work against a common goal
Feedback
There is no team leader in scrum team and it is impossible to reward only part of dev team in scrum
23.The Sprint team has just finished the sprint Planning. How complete should the sprint backlog be at this stage?
* New : Correct : Complete enough to show the work for the next few days and to begin the work.
X * The Sprint Backlog should be complete at the end of the Sprint Planning.
Feedback
Not all tasks are identified in the Sprint Planning; just enough to show what the development team is going to do in the next few days. The rest of the tasks will be created during the Sprint.
24. Hardening sprints are required to defect management and integration
New : Correct : False
Feedback
There are no hardening sprint in scrum. All sprints are the same and create increments "hardening" is done during all sprints.
25. Which of the following is not an attribute of a product backlog?
** : Correct Owner ( Not an attribute of product backlog)
Value
Description
Estimate
Feedback
Each product backlog has a description (eg. in the "User story" format),
a business value used for orderning, and
estimate of the amount of effors.
26. Is sprit review a formal meeting?
* New : Correct : No
Feedback
Sprint review is a scrum event, but informal meeting.
27. This role in scrum determinse when it's time to update Sprint Backlog during the Sprint
Correct : The Development Team
Feedback
The Sprint Backlog includes the itesm selected from the product Backlog and the tasks created by decomposing the items. Only the tasks are updated during the
sprint, and it's the development team's responsibility to do so.
28. Who is in the scrum team? (Choose multiple answers)
Correct The scrum Master, The product owner, the development team
Feedback
The scrum team consists of a product owner, the development team, and a scrum Master.
29. The scrum team has just begun the first sprint. which of the following must be done in this case?
New : Creating a shippable piece of functionality
Feedback
There's no difference between the first sprint and the next ones. The main purpose is creating increments.
30. Development team member should own each sprint backlog items.
* Correct : False
Feedback
The develeopment team owns the sprint backlog, not separate members of the team.
31. The product onwer does not have to be one person, and the role can be payed by a committee.
New : Correct : False
Feedback
It's possible to have a committee responsible for product ownership, but only a representative of that committee whould be called the product owner. There's
always one product owner for a product, even if there are multiple teams.
32. The Product owner is not satisified with latest updates of the dev team. He or she wants to be informed of the progress in the middle of the sprint.
How can he/she get this options? (select all that apply)
New: Correct Be at the dialy scrum
* Correct Check the task board in the project room ( if exists )
Feedback
No one should not report to the product owner the status of the sprint. so, if the product owner wants to know to be informed about the sprint works, he or she
should at least attend the daily scrum or check the task board.
33. How are stakeholders ( Including internal and external) involved at the daily scrum?
*** New : Correct : There's no scuh involvement
Feedback
The daily scrum is only for the development team/ Others can attend, but they won't participate.
34. The development team is free to change its engineering and testing practices whenever they want.
Correct True.
Feedback
The development team is self-organized and cross-functional; they have to decide how best to handle their development, and this decision can evolved during the
project, as more is learned about the needs. This is about their development and doesn't have to be constrained by the sprints. The elements that shouldn't be
changed during the sprint are those required for keeping them focused on their development.
35. Who is responsible for ensuring the scrum process is upheld and works to ensure the scrum team adheres to the practices and rules?
Correct The Scrum Master
Feedback
The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring the scrum process is upheld and works to ensure the scrum team adheres to practices and rules as well as
coaches the team on removing impediments.
- The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. Scrum Masters do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values.
36. which two of the following are the most important considerations in multiple scrum teams forming?
Correct : Having an effective mixture of skill in each team to avoid dependencies
Correct : Having proper size in each team
Feeback
All teams should be cross-functional, with optimal size 3 and 8 members. Also, it is very important for teams to avoid dependencis on each other as much as it possible.
37. From the following answers what is the best description of the job of a product owner? he or she....
Correct : Working with stakeholders to identify the most important requirements in order to maximize value.
Feedback
All items are less or more applicable, but remember that the main responsibility of the product owner is to maximize value, and "working with stakeholder to
identify the most important requirements" is the closest answer to "increasing value".
38. The development team doesn't have clear vision about the definition of done. What are some consequences of this?
Correct : The development team may not know how many product backlog items it can do in a sprint.
Correct : The product owner may not know what he/she is inspecting at the sprint review
Correct : The product owner may be unable to estimate the progress towards his/ her goals
Correct : The development team may not know what work is entailed in completing selected.
* Correct : All the above
39. The product owner actively asks for stakeholder input into the product backlog
Correct True
Feedback
However, a product owner is the only person who is responsible for product backlog he/she actively ask for stakeholder input into the
Product backlog.
40. From the following answers choose the optional in scrum (Select all that apply)
New :
Correct : Burn-Down Charts
Correct : Velocity
Must for scrum : Definition of "Done", Increment, sprint backlog, product backlog
Feedback
Velocity calculations and the use of Burn-Down Charts are common and recommended, but not mandatory. The rest are scrum artifacts. All scrum
roles, events, and artificats are mandatory
41. There are many types of differnt requirements. According to this, non-functional or performance or even security requirements must be captured in definition of Done.
* New : Correct False
Feeback
It is a good practice but this is not mandatory. Non-functional features are usually part of the definition of done, and should be considered for every
product backlog item and every increment.
42. Product backlog items should always be expressed as user stories
** New : Correct False
Feeback
User story are very popular in scrum, but they are not mandatory.
43. What are the attributes of a good user story
** New : Correct Small, estimable, independent, negotiable
Feeback
A good use story shoudl be INVEST :
- "I"ndependent (of all others)
- "N"egotiable ( Not specific contract for features)
- "E"stimable ( to good approximation)
- "S"mall (So as to fix within an iteration)
- "T"estable ( In pr.
inciple, even if there isn't a test for it yet)
44. The product owner can delegate to the development team the expressing of product backlog items
New : Correct True
Feedback
From the scrum guide, the product owner is the sole person responsible for managing the product backlog.
PRoduct backlog management includes :
* Clearly expressing product backlog items;
The product owner may do the above work, or have the development team do it. However, the product owner remains accountable.
45. According to the scrum guide, Which statement is NOT true about the scrum?
**** New : Correct : Desinged for static requirements
Feedback
A product backlog is never complete. The earliest development of it lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements. The product
backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. the Product backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to
identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. If a product exists, its product backlog also exists. Due to this
requirements cannot static.
46. Select all correct answers, which of the following is a prioritisation technique?
Correct : Kano analysis - Prioritisation technique
Kano analysis Definition : Is a quality measurement tool which is used to determine which requirements are important. ... Kano analysis can help you rank requirements for different customers to determine which have the highest priority. Kano analysis is a tool which can be used to classify and prioritize customer needs.
* Correct : Prodcut Backlog Ordering - Is a Prioritisation technique
* Correct : User story mapping - Is a Prioritisation technique
* X Planning Poker - Is NOT a Prioritisation technique < Planning Poker > ***
Priority poker is a game for collaboratively prioritizing items, be they features, backlog estimations, goals
Feedback
Planning Poker is also called scrum poker, is a consensus-based, gamified technique for estimating, mostly used to estimate effort or relative size of
development goals in software development. in Planning Poker. members of the group make estimates by placing numbered cards face-down on the
table, instead of saying them aloud. the cards are revealed, and the estimates are then discussed. By hiding the figures in the way, the group
can avoid the cognitive bias of anchoring, where the first number spoken aloud sets a precedent for subsequent estimates.
Planning Poker is not a prioritisation technique.
47. What should a scrum master od if he or she notices Disruptive behaviour during a scrum?
சீர்குலைக்கும் நடத்தை
* New : Correct Let the team, as self-organizing, resolve the issue
Feeback
A high-performance, a self-organizing team should realize adn correct the disruptive behaviour
48. The development team members sign up to own product backlog items at the sprint planning.
* New : False
Feeback
The only one owner of the Product backlog ( include product backlog items) is the Product owner.
49. After the sprint planning a new task is identified. When will the team add this task to the sprint backlog?
New : whenever its identified.
The Sprint backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the daily scrum.
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 work needed to achieve the sprint goal.
50. The scrum Team has finished the sprint planning. How complete should sprint backlog be at the end of this event?
** New Correct Complete enough to begin the work and then new items may be added till the end of the sprint.
Feedback
Sprint backlog should be complete enough to ensure there is work for the first 1-2 days of the sprint at the end of the sprint planning meeting. Not
all tasks are identified in the sprint planning; just enough to show what the development team is going to do in the next days. The rest of the
tasks will be created during the sprint.
51. The team is using scrum. It means they do not have any technical debt
** New Correct : False
Feeback
Scurm cannot ensure the exception of technical debt.
52. In scrum, the product backlog is .....
New : Correct : A prioritized features list, containing short descriptions of all functionality desired in the product.
Feeback
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product and is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product.
The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, including its content, availability, and ordering.
A product backlog is never completed.
53. According to the scrum guide, the product owner is accountable for....
*** New correct Creating and sustaining a product backlog that maximises value and respresents the needs of the stakeholders.
Feedback
The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the -<Product Backlog>.
Product backlog management includes :
- Clearly expressing Product Backlog items;
… Ordering the items in the product backlog to best achieve goals and missions;
- Optimizing the value of the work the Development Team performs;
- Ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the Scrum Team will work on next;
- Ensuring the development team understands items in the product backlog to the level neede.
54. The product owner is a project manager in scrum
New : correct False
Feeback
There is no such role in scrum as a project manager. All activities of a project manager are distributed through all scrum team members.
55. ....are scrum values
** New : Correct Commitment, courage, focus, openness and respect
When the values of commitment, courage, focus, openness and respect are embodied and lived by scrum team, the scrum pillars of
transparency, inspection, and adaption come to life and build trust for everyone.
56. The PRoduct backlog attributes are :
New : correct Description, order, estimate and value
Feeback
The PRoduct backlog items have the attributes of a description, order, estimate, and value. Product backlog items often include test descriptions
that will prove its completeness when "Done".
57. How can we ensure that the non-functional or so-called performance requirements are addressed in the solution ? (Choose 2 answers)
** New : Correct Add them to the definition of “Done”
** Correct Add them as items to the Product Backlog
Feeback
Performance, like security, scalability and maintainability is a non-functional feature. Non-functional features are normally added to the
definition of “Done” because they apply to all functional features. For some non-functional features, such as performance, it’s possible to
create non-technical, independent items in the Product Backlog. This is usually done when we have to make an improvement in the previously
done features.
58. This role is responsible for all estimation in the sprint?
New : Correct The development team
Feedback
Only the development team is responsible for estimation in sprint.
59. The maximum length of the sprint retrsopective is
** New Correct 3 hours for a monthly sprint. For shorter sprints, it is usually shorter.
Feedback
The sprint restsrospective occurs after the sprint review and prior to the next sprint planning.
This is at most at three-hours meeting for one-month sprints. For shorter sprints, the event is-scrum
usually shorter.
60. The daily scrum is held every day of the sprint. What is the role of the Scrum Master at this scrum event?
* New : Correct The scrum master has to ensure the development team has tp emsire tje develeopment
Feedback
Scrum master does not have to be there, he or she only has to ensure the development team has a daily scrum.
61. The scrum is founded on what type of process theory?
Correct : Empiricial
Feedback
The scrum is founded on Empiricial process control theory or Empiricial. Empiricial asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making
decisions based on what is known. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk.
62. HOw an organization can help the scrum team to work efficiently and productively? (Select all correct answers)
How an organization can help the scrum team to work efficiently and productively?
** X By Checking every day the development teams activity
* Correct : By providing the Product owner required and valuable information about the product.
X An organization must change members of the team at least every 4 sprints.
** Correct : Setting the vision and strategy to guide the overall direction of the organization
Feedback
An organization should support the product owner by providing required and valuable information about the product and
Setting the vision and strategy to guide the overall direction of the organization.
63. The development team can't deliver the increment because they don't understand the requirements. What should they do?
Correct : Collaborate with the Product Owner to solve the problem
Feedback
The Product Owner is responcible for making all items clear and understood. if the problem wasn't solved, then there's no option other
than leaving it to go back to the product backlog at the end of the
sprint, and be done later. The team is cross-functional and doesn't use external
help. We don't deliver partially complete items; everything should be done based on the definition of "Done".
64. In the middle of the sprint, the development team decides to divide the sprint backlog and assign ownership of every sprint backlog item
to seperate individuals in the team. What should be the response of the scrum master?
** Correct : He or she should coach the team to collectively take ownership of the sprint backlog items even though an individual works on a specific team.
Feedback
Scrum recognize no titels for development team members, regardless of the work being performed by the person; scrum recognize no sub-teams in the
development team, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and,
individual development team members may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belogns to the development team as a whole.
65. The sprint goal provides the following
Correct : Guidance to the team on why it is building the increment
Correct : The flexibility to the scrum to complete the increment
Correct : Coherence so that team can work together
* Correct : All the above.
Feedback
All the above are the sprint goal characteristics
66. which of the following does not describe scrum?
* Correct : ( Scrum is NOT ) A software development process
Feedback
Scrum is NOT a software development process
67. The main goal why the scrum master ensures that the scrum team and those interacting with this team from the outside adhere to the
scrum rules is
adhere -பின்பற்றுங்கள்
Correct : To maximize the value created by the scrum team
Feedback
The primary objective behind why a scrum master ensures that the scrum team and those interactjng with the team from the outsie adhere to the
scrum rules to maximize the value created by the scrum team.
68. The Product backlog items is "Done". What does it mean in scrum? ( Select all answers that apply)
**Correct : The item creates software that is usable by the end user
Correct : The item can be a part of a potentially releasable piece of software
**Correct : No work left based on the definition of done.
X** All task identified for the item are done
Feedback
Items are "Done" when they are completely based on the definition of "done". In the case, they would have the potential of creating a
releasable/shippable increment that is usable by the end user. Tests are also
part of the work and items are not "Done" before the tests are complete; even the user acceptance test. Quality requirements are part
of the work, but not all of it (eg. non-function features and development processes are also part of the work). We cannot trust the identified task
because we might have missed some tasks and the sum of them do not conform to the definition of "Done".
69. In the scrum team, the only person who communicates with stakeholders is the PO. There is no exception to this rule
** Correct : False
Feedback
The product owner should have sole responsibility for representing the stakeholders with the team and ensuring that the team is working on the
correct items to maximize their contribution to the business. The goal of the scrum team os to create high-value products and find ways to do this
as effective as possible. According to the reules, the PO should work with the stakeholders to get the request value right, so the team can build it
without needing the stakeholder. But first of all, it doesn't mean that the dev team can't interact with stakeholders, for example the sprint review
(why not?). The second is that sometimes the domain expert is also the stakeholder and he/she may be invited to the sprint planning.
70. As we know from the scrum guide, the scrum team is self-organizing and every scrum team may create an additional role (For example
business analyst, tester, system analyst and so on) to represent the organization within scrum
Correct : False
Feedback
There are only three roles in scrum. PO, SM and DT.
71. Select all roles in scrum which may participate at the daily scrum
*** New : Correct : Development Team
X * Scrum team
Feedback
THe daily scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the development team. The daily scrum is held every day of the sprint. At it, the
development team plans work for the next 24 hours. This optimizes team collaboration and performance by inspecting the work since the last daily
scrum and forecasting upcoming sprint work. The daily scrum is held at the same time and place each day to reduce c0mplexity.
72. One of the member of the development team often has conflicts with entire
team. These conflicts cause issues to progress. Who is responsible for removing this issue?
** Correct : Development Team
X Product Owner
X Scrum Master
Feedback
Think about who is responsible for identifiying and removing differnt type of issues. The scrum master is responsible for removing implediments outside the development team's influence.
Also, they are responsible for causing change that increases the productivity of the scrum team. In this case, the issue faced ny the development team is well within the influence of
the development team to resolve. so, the scrum master should coach the team to resolve such items themselves. If the scurm master actively takes steps such as removing this person from
the team, it will lead to a dminished inclination of the development team to resolve internal prblems for themselves in the long run.
73. The highest priority of the product owner in scrum is
Correct : Maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the development team
Feedback
The product owner is responsible for Maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the development team
How this is done may vary widely accross organizations, scrum teams, and individuals.
74.Resolving internal conflicts inside the team is NOT the responsibility of the development team.
Correct : False
Feedback
It is the responsibility of the development team to resolve conflicts inside the team.
75. When do development team members become the total (exclusive) owner of a sprint backlog item?
பிரத்தியேக
Correct : Never, All Sprint backlog items are "owned" by the entire development team, even though each one may be done by an individual development team member.
Feedback
Individual development team members may have specialized sikills and areas of focus, but accountability belogns to the development team as a whole.
76. In which cases an increment is valuable? (Choose 2 answers)
Correct A) When It reduces long-term operational costs
Correct B) When It increases customer satisfaction
C) It is delivered on time ( Correct )
D) It has all the features that the Product Owner expected
Feedback
The customer's satisfaction is valuable and important to us. Reducing the operational costs, which consequently decreases the total cost of
ownership, is also a way to bringing value. All increments are delivedred on time because the sprints are timeboxed. There's no need to have all the
sprint backlog items completed before the end of the sprint. At least, this is not the most important thing when we are dealing with value.
77. WHich role in scurm should know the most about the release and product requirements?
Correct : The product owner
Feedback
The Product Owner is responsible for product, including decisions about release. THe Product Owner's decisions are visible in the content
and ordering of the product backlog. No one can force the development team to work from a different set
of requirements.
78.
Correct :
Feedback
Scrum is a process framework that has been used to manage work complex products since the early 1990s. Scrum is not a process,
technique, or definitive method. Rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various process management and work techniques so
that you can continuously improve the product, the team, and the working environment.
79. When does (at which scrum event) adaptation occur in scrum?
Correct : During the sprint planning, the daily scrum, the sprint review and sprint retrospectives.
Feedback
adaptation occur during all scrum events.
80. Scrum is not :
Correct : Easy to master
Feedback
Scrum is a framework witihin which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creativel delivering products of the highest possible valye.
Scrum is:
* Lightweight
* Simple to understand
* Difficult to master
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
Scrum Master mock test 2 - 80 questions with explanations
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -
1. From the following answers select all that apply. The responsibilities of the Dev Team are...
*** Correct : Pull Product backlog itesm for the upcoming sprint
* Correct : Estimage the amount of the newly created product backlog imtes.
* Correct : Create tasks for sprint backlog items
X * Create new Product backlog items
X * Reorder the product backlog
Feedback
It is the responsibility of the development team to Estimage the amount of work of product backlog items and to select an appropriate number of
them for each sprint. They also break down the items into tasks during the sprint. Measuring the project performance is the responsibiliyt of the
Product owner while measuring the sprint performance is done by the development team. Creating new product backlog items, ordering them (Prioritization),
and making sure that everyone has a clear understading of them is the responsibility of the product owner.
2. Which of the following is the shortest timebox in a two-week sprint?
Correct : Sprint Retrospective
Feedback
Sprint Retrospective is the shortest even in scrum for all team members
3. Which of the following is not allowed is scrum?
Correct : Hardening sprints.
Feedback
It is possible to harden sprint, but it will not be scrum. scrum is free and offered in this guide. Scrum's roles, evernts, artifacts and rules are immutable
and although implementing only parts of scrum is possible, the result is not scrum. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as container for other
techniques, methodologies, and practices.
4. Who owns the the sprint backlog?
Correct : The development team
Feedback
The Sprint Backlog makes visible all of the work that the Development Team identifies as necessary to meet the Sprint Goal.
To ensure continous improvement, it includes at least one high priority process improvement identified in the previous retrospective meeting. The sprint backlog is a
plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the daily scrum. The development team modifies the sprint nacklog
throughout the sprint, and the sprint backlog emerges during the sprint. This emergence occurs as the deveelopment team works through the plan
and learns more about the work needed to achieve the sprint goal.
5. The Duration (length ) of the sprint is decided by
< Duration of scrum - Scrum team - DurS - ST >
** Correct : Scrum team
Feedback
The entire scrum team decides the duration of the sprint.
6. THe prerequisite or input to start the sprint planning meeting is (are)
Correct : None
Feedback
If even the one item from the Product backlog is not ready for the first sprint the entire scrum team may begin to refine the product backlog and do all other activities
during the sprint planning.
7. Imagine you are a scrum master. There are 10 professionals (devlopers and QAs) and the product owner. How should
you distribute people between development teams? Choose all applicable answers :
Correct : 2 teams of 6 and 4 people ( Decision made afte a short meeting and teams are self-organzining)
Correct : 3 teams of 4, 3 and 3 people ( each team is cross-functional)
8. 3. The product backlog refinement should not take more than 10% of the product owner's time
Correct False
Feedback
Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the development team. However, product backlog items can be updated at
anytime by the product owner or at product owner's discretion.
9. In scrum, all interactons between the stakeholders and the developemt team must be through the product owner
Correct : False
Feedback
Almost always thes interactions go through the product owner but of course, it is not prohibited to discuss some questions with stakeholders.
But those who want to change a prodcut backlog items priority must address the product owner.
10. The product backlog may be refined...
** Correct : Anytime needed
X * Right before the sprint planning
Feedback
Product backlog items can be updated at anytime by the product owner or at the product owner's discretion. விவேகம்
11. In the middle of the sprint the development team realise they are not able to complete all sprint backlog items.
what is the best action for the PO to reslove this issue?
Correct : The development team and the product owner
Feeback
If this situation is happening the product owner and the development team should discuss how they can resolve the issue.
12. From the following answers choose outcomes of the daily scrum. Select all that apply
Correct : The scrum master identifies new impediments ( if he or she presents at the meeting)
Correct : Everyone is clear on the next steps towards the sprint goal
X ** The impediments are discussed and possible solutions selected.
Feeback
impediments are pointed out in the daily scrum, but we dont discuss them. Each edeveloper informs everyone about the tasks they will handle
in the next 24 hours, which is how the team progresses toward the goal.
13. There are 4 scrum teams. they manage 1 product. In this case, when multiple teams are working on the same product, who should make
sure that their results may be integrated into one imcrement?
** Correct : Developers
X * Product owner
Feeback
It's up to the developers to find their way and ensure that their outputs will create an integrated increment that is potentially releasable.
14. who monitors the reamining work of the product backlog>
Correct : The product owner
Feedback
At any point in time, the total work remmaining to reach a goal can be summed. the product owner tracks this total work remaining at least
everu s[romt review. The product owner compares this amount with work remaining at prevous sprint reviews to assess progress toward completing
projected work by the desired time for the goal. This information is made transparent to all stakeholders.
15. WHich of the following is not a pillar of scrum?
Correct : Empiricism
16. One of the accountabilities of the product owner is to create the sprint goal before the sprint planning
Correct : False
Feedback
THe Sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected from the sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product increment and realizing the
sprint goal. The sprint backlog is a forecast by the develoment team about what functionality will be in the next increment and the work needed to
deliver that functionality into a "Done" increment.
17. The itesm selected from the product backlog for the sprint backlog must be "ready" at the beginning of the sprint planning
Correct : False
Feedback
The spring backlog is a forecast by the development team about what functionality will be in the increment and the work needed to deliver
that functionality into a "Done" increment.
18. The scrum master is the role in scrum. one of the responsibilities for the scrum master is to find,
track and help remove different obstacles. But who supports the scrum master in removing obstacles? choose all correct answeres from the following
X The project Manager / PO
** Correct The senior management
X The senior member of the Dev Team
Correct Development team
Feedback
THe development team can help the scrum master because of their understanding of how the work is done. Some impediments are rooted in
external causes, and that's why the scrum master might need to have the senior management's support in removing them.
19. which Scrum artefacts may be prioritiesed?
Correct : Both he product backlog and sprint backlog
Feeback20.
product backlog is ordered (Prioritized) based on the business value. the items in the sprint backlog follow the same order they had in the
product backlog and therefore, are prioritized.
20. The scrum master is a participant in the sprint restropective.
Correct : True
Feedback
The scrum master ensures that the meeting is positive and productive. THe scrum master teaches everyone to keep it within the time-box. The
scrum master participates as a peer team member in the meeting for accountability over the scrum process.
21. Team 1 and 2 work on two differnt projects. Team 1 has 5 members, and a velocity of 550. Team B has 9 members, and a velocity of 800.
which team has a higher performance?
*** Correct : It depends
Feeback
It depends on another factor. Velocity is not equal to value. The provided information is not enough. Velocity is defined locally, and its not possible
to compare one team's velocity with another.
22. The scrum is ......process control
Correct : Empirical
Feedback
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.
Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk.
Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control; transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
23. What should the product backlog itesm be refined? (Choose 2 answers )
*** Correct During the sprint, if they have not been refined in the previous sprints.
* Correct In one or two preceding sprints.
Feedback
Product Backlog refinement is a continuous activity. When an item is at the top of the backlog, which means it will be developed in the near
future, more refinements are usually needed to make sure it is clear and contains just enough details (not all possible details). It’s preferable to
have the items that will be selected in the Sprint Backlog completely refined before Sprint Planning; however, it’s OK to have more refinement
done during the development. Remember that there’s no such thing as Sprint 0 and there’s no time between two Sprints that can be spent on something
such as refinement. The team is also cross-functional and does the a-z of the work needed for each item, including refinement; they don’t use
people from other parts of the company.
24. Which of the following is a valid service from the Scrum Master to the Product Owner?
*** Correct Helping the Product Owner find techniques for managing the Product Backlog.
< SM to PO to Manage PB >
X* Planning scrum implementations within the organizaton
Feedback
Scrum master service to the product owner The scrum master serves the product owner in several ways, including : Ensuring that goals, scope and
product domain are understood by everyone on the scrum team as well as possible; finding techniques for effective product backlog management;
helping the scrum team understant the need for clear and concise சுருக்கமான product backlog items; understand planning in an empirical enviornment;
Ensuring the Product owner knows how to arrange the product backlog to maximize value; Understanding and praccicing agility; Facilitating scrum
events as requested or needed.
25. Our velocity was 250 at the end of the 6th sprint. It has become 275 at the end of the 11th sprint. Therefore, we're creating more value now,
compared to the past.
Correct : False
Feedback
Velocity and value are not related directly
26. The product owner can ask the developers to order the product backlog items instead of him/her
Correct : True
Feedback
The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the <Product Backlog>. Product Backlog management includes : Clearly
expressing product Backlog items; ordering the items inproduct backlog to best achieve goals and mssions; optimizing the value of the
work the development team performs; Ensuring that the product backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the scrum team
will work on next; ensuring the deveolpment team understands items in the product backlog to the level needed. The product owner may do the
above work, or have the development team do it. However, the product owner reamins accountabl.
27. THe development team is ready to start the first sprint, while the product backlog is not complete yet. What should the product owner do?
Correct : Let the team start the first sprint, and continue refining the product backlog
Feedback
THe team may do all necessary work in sprint planning. The product backlog is a dynamic concept that is never complete. You don't have to
have all the items identified before starting the first sprint.
28. In the middle of the sprint the dev team has realized that the are not able to finis all the sprint backlog items till the end of the sprint. after
some conversation, the dev team has decided to talk bout it with the product owner. what should the product owner do in the middle of the
sprint, when the development team realises they are not able to finish all the sprint backlog items?
Correct Help the developers adjust their work and meet the sprint goal
Feedback
It is ok some fo the items are not done by the end of the sprint. what we have in the sprint backlog is our best guess on what we can deliver. if
there's pressure on the developers to finish everything, they will start adding margins to their estimates, which truns into less productivity
because of parkinson's law. When the development team realizes they cannnot finish everything, they get help from the product owner to adjust
their work( tasks), to ensure they will deliver maximum value by the end of the sprint. Remember that they get help from the product owner to make
better decisions; the product owner doesn't make the adjustments directly.
29. From the following answers choose one which can be considered for prioritizing the product backlog?
Correct : Importance
Feedback
The most importan basis for ordering the product backlog is a value. "Importance" can also refer to a value, and that's why this is the right
answer. The size, risk, and cost affect the value, but do not impact ordering "directly"
30. The sprint retrospective is one of the event in scurm. which of the following two items are not topics of discussions within a sprint
retrospecitve?
Not within a SR
Correct Sprint backlog for the next sprint
Correct THe functionality implemented as a result of the sprint
Feedbakc
Sprint backlog for the next sprint and the functionality implemented as a result of the sprint are not a part of sprint restrospective topic.
31. & 32 missing ( Not the new questions)
33. The scrum team have a huge technical debt. From the following answers choose the best way to decrease technical debt.
Correct : By Improving the definition of "Done"
Feedback
There;s usually room for improving the definition of "Done". A good definition will let less technical depts pass on to the next sprints. Technical
debt is minor shortcomings in the code that makes it less than "good enough", and therefore creates risks in the future. It usually decreases velocity
in the future ( because the team has to fix the shortcomings), and as some of the debt might remain in the final product, the maintenance cost
will increase as well. Another Aguke way to reducing technical debt is continuous refactoring.
34. After 4 sprints, The Product Owner has doubts about the quality of the definition of "Done". what shol sh/he do?
** Correct increase the product quality by adaption of the definition of "Done" in the next Sprint Retrospective.
< Doubts Qaulity "DOD" - increase PQ by adoption - DOD in Next SpRetro >
Feedback
The scrum master encourages the scrum team to improve, within the scrum process framework, its development process ad practices to
make it more effective and enjoyable for the next sprint. During each sprint retrospective, the scrum team plans ways to increase product
quality by improving work processes or adapting the definition of "Done", if appropriate and not in conflict with a product or organizational
standarts.
35. A key measure of success for the Product owner is velocity.
Correct : False
Feeback
A key measure of success for the Product owner is < High Value Product >
36.All work that the developers should do originate from the product backlog
Correct : True
Feedback
THe product backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of requirements for any
changes to be made to the product.
37. The Product owner has decided to use burn-up charts instead of burn-down charts. What should be the response of the scrum Master?
New : Correct : There's nothing wrong with it.
Feeback
It is the product owner's decision which type of diagram to use.
38. What is the essence of scrum? Select the most appropriate option
Choose only ONE best answer
Correct : A small team of people that is highly flexible and adaptive
Feedback
The essense of scrum is a small team of people. THe individual team is highly flexible and adaptive. These strengths continue operating in single,
several, many, and networks of teams that develop, release, operate and sustain the work and
work products of thousands of people. They colloborate and interoperate through sophisticated development
architectures and target release environments.
39. The development team consists of 4 person and they are planning their own work for the sprint. Who assigns tasks to the developers?
Correct : Developer themselves
Feedback
They are self-organizing. no one (not even the scrum master) tells the development team how to trun product backlog into increments of
potentially releasable functionality.
40. As we know, Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. from the following statements, choose one which doesn't relate to scrum
< Doesn't relate to>
Correct : Scrum is a methodology to maximise the value of the product.
Feedback
scrum is a Framework.
41. One of the internal stakeholder wants to interract with the development team. What are the best ways to make it? select all that apply.
X * At the sprint Planning
Correct : Via the product owner
*** New : Correct : At the sprint review
X * At the daily scrums
Feedback
Direct interactions with the customer are limited to the sprint review, or via the product owner. However, this doesn't mean that it is prohibited to
meet with stakeholder in another (non-scrum) events such as backlog refinement, etc.
42. The average amount of work done per sprint is a
New : ***Correct : Velocity
Feedback
Velocity is the average amount of work done per sprint.
43. From the following answers, select correct statements about sprint the retrospective meeting.
New : Correct It's an opportunity for inspection and adaptation.
X It's 4 hours in a one month sprint
Feedback
All scrum ceremonies are opportunities for inspection and adaptation.
44. The product owner may ask the development team to order the product backlog items, however, he or she reamins accountable
Correct : True
Feedback
The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog. Product Backlog management includes: Clearly expressing Product Backlog items; in the
product backlog to best achieve goals and missions; Optimizing the value of the work the development team performs; ensuring that the product backlog is
visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the scrum team will work on next; ensuring the development team understands item in the product backlog
to the next level needed. The Product Owner may do the above work, or have the Development Team do it. However, the Product Owner remains accountable.
45. When multiple teams are working on the same product, their sprints should be synchronised, and their otuputs should be integrated into
on integrated increment.
Correct : True
Feedback
The output created by each team should be potentially releasable, and then they will be packaged into one integrated increment. This means that
each product backlog item will be handled by one team, and each team should be cross-functiona. Teams statart and finis their sprints at the
same time to reduce complexity.
46. The time to integrate the solution is ....
New : Correct : During the sprint
not
Feedback
The solution may be added at any time during the sprint. Integration is part of the development of each items, and a step in a normal definition of"Done". Agile projects
use continuous integration to make the output potentially releasable.
47. Who is responsible for managing the development team?
Correct : Development team
Feedback
The Development Team is self-organized and manages itself instead of receiving orders.
Development Teams have the following characteristics:
They are self-organizing. No one (not even the Scrum Master) tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality;
Development Teams are cross-functional, with all of the skills as a team necessary to create a product Increment;
Scrum recognizes no titles for Development Team members, regardless of the work being performed by the person;
Scrum recognizes no sub-teams in the Development Team, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and,
Individual Development Team members may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belongs to the Development Team as a whole.
48. It's allowed to have team leaders when many developers are working on a complex project.
New : Correct : False
Feedback
There is no team leader role in scrum team
49. 4 weeks sprint is better than 2 weeks sprint when there are many risks in development process
New : Correct : False
Feedback
When sprints are shorter, there are more opportunities for demonstration, receiving feedback, and adaptation. So, when risks are
higher, it's better to have shorter sprints ( if it's possible).
50. One of the point in the definition of "Done" of the scrum team is : "all the code is to be reviewed and approved by ICSO". ICSO is a third party
subject matter expert outside the scrum team. from the following answers choose the best one, appropriated for this text.
** New : Correct : The definition of "done" is less effective, because it contains conditions that are not completely under the infulence of the scrum team.
Feedback
The activities required to complete the product backlog items to a "done" state should be completely within the ownership and influence of the scrum team.
51. Whar are the benefits of having a solid product vision? (select all that apply)
Correct : It gives an overall direction to the sprints
Correct : It makes it easier to inspect the incremental progress of the product
Correct : It helps the team stay focused and make better decisions
Feedback
Product vision is not explained in the scrum guide and is not a mandatory part of the framework.
However, it's recommended to have one, and use it to help align the decisions and development with the expected outcome of the project.
52. There is one product backlog for a scaled scrum
Correct : True
Feedback
There is a single product backlog for the entire Nexus and all of its scrum teams. The product owner is accountable for the product backlog,
including its content, availability, and ordering.
53. How many product owners do 5 teams need if there is one product for all teams?
New : Correct : One
Feedback
One product backlog = One product owner
54. HOw much of the sprint backlog should be defined during the sprint planning meetings?
Correct : Just enough, so the development team can forecast what it can do, and to start the first several days of the sprint.
Feedback
The sprint backlog includes the items selected from the product backlog and the tasks created by decomposing the items. The items are completely
planned in the sprint planning, but not all tasks are created; just enought fo the first few days of development. The rest of the
tasks will be created during the sprint.
55. The vertical axis in a typical burn-down chart is
New : Correct : the amount of remaining work
Feedback
The horizontal axis is time, the verical axis is remaining amount of work, and the trend line shows the forecasted finish date if the product
backlog and the team capacity stay the same.
56. After some sprint events, the scrum master realized that the product owner has difficulties with product backlog managing. WHat is the
best action from the SM in response to the PO?
*** New : Correct : Help the Product owner order the items
Feedback
The scrum master is supposed to know the tools and techniques and to help everyone in that regard. However, it's only about helping, training,
coaching, and consulting, rather than taking over.
57. What does the development team prepare infrastructure for the development?
New : Correct : Throughout the product life
Feedback
We do not prepare the infrastructure and tools upfront because it requires an understanding of the whole product, which is agains the adaptation concept.
The required infrastructure and tools depemd on the product we're going to create, which in turn is defined through the product life. the
Infrastructure and tools will be prepared gradually throguh the project. There's no sprint zero in scrum. All sprints are the same, used to create
an increment of working software.
58. According to the scrum guide, the reason why the daily scrum is held at the same time and same place is....
Correct : To reduce complexity
Feedback
It's not wise to spend time everyday scheduling the next daily scrum when the meeting itself is only 15 minutes. we usually expect to
have a common place for the team and have them collocated. The meeting will be held in the same common place, in front of the scrum board;
we don't book a meeting room for it.
59. The scrum master has found that it is required to improve the communication between the product owner and the development team.
from the following answers choose the lease effective method to do it.
*** New : Correct : Act as a go-between from them
Feedback
Acting as a go-between weakens the team and blocks their self-organization. The scrum master is supposed to teach and coach.
60. What is the responsibility of the team leader in scrum?
Correct : There is no team leader in scrum
Feedback
There is no team leader in scrum
61. During the sprint....(Select all answers that apply)
** Correct : The scope may be clarified as more is learned.
** Correct : The scope may be re-negotiated as more is learned.
Feedback
During the script, as more is learned, the scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the product owner and development team. This is
mainly focused on the interpretation of the product backlog items and the tasks created by decomposing them.
62. Who should know the most about the project perfomance?
Correct : the product owner
Feedback
Measuring the release or project performance is the product owner's responsibility.
63. From the following answers, please choose one. what is right about the sprint backlog?
Correct : It's the development team's plan for the sprint.
Feedback
The Sprint backlog is created during the sprint planning and includes the items selected from the product backlog (by the development team), and the tasks
created by decomposing the items (by the development tema). Developers keep adding tasks during the sprint, so the sprint backlog updates. Its the development team's plan
for the current sprint. This plan is not detailed upfront. If the development team cannot deliver some of the items, they will go back to the product backlog
and will be ordered again, they do not go to the next sprint acutomatically. Each task is assigned to one developer or a pair of developers, but the ownnership
is still shared. Items are not assigned or owned but specific developers, all of them share accountabilility.
64. The team is in the middle of the sprint. One of the stakeholder wants a new requirement to be added in current sprint. What should the
develpment team do?
Correct : Ask the product owner to work with the customer
Feedback
It is up to product owner to reject this request, rather than the developers. So, they should just refer the customer to the product owner.
In very special cases, the new feature might be so special, and the project enviornment so influenced, that the introduction of the new
feature makes the current sprint goal invalid, and therefore the product owner will cancel the sprint. Remember, this doesn't happen often.
65. A sprint backlog item considered complete when.....
Correct : Everything is done based on the definition of "Done"
Feedback
When the item is completely based on the definition of "Done", the end users can use it, and it creates and increment of working software which is
potentially releasable.
66. Each member of the Dev Team must be cross-functional
**** New : Correct : No
Feedback
The development team as a whose is cross functinal, which means the sum of all developers with their different expertise. It doesn't mean that
we need to have cross-functional individuals, or "development team members".
Each indivicual is expert in one or more technical layers or aspects of the project, and the team they create is cross-functional( have
all the expertise required to get the job done, without any need for external resources).
67. The Product backlog is baseline at the beginning of the project.
*** Correct : Incorrect
Feedback
We don't baseline any artefact in scrum. THe product backlog is dynamic, and never complete.
68. During the sprint zero, the product owner must.....
Correct : All answers are incorrect because there is no sprint zero in scrum
Feedback
There's no such thing as a sprint zero. The first sprint is called sprint 1, and its exactly the same as other sprint : it creates an increment. The
infrastructure and tools and requirements are prepared gradually throughout the project.
69. According to the scrum guide, a four-hour sprint planning is common for the sprints that are ... long.
New : Correct : Two weeks
Feedback
Sprint planning is 8hours for a one-month sprint, and usually shorter proportionally for shorter springs.
70. The development team decided to add mandatory testing for DoD. What are the benefits of it? (Select all correct answers)
** New : Correct : Increments would be closer to being potentially shippable
Correct : Increased transparency of the increments
Correct : Increments would be more complete.
Feedback
Items are not really done unless we have tested them; so, tests should be included in the definition of "Done". In tbis case, the increments will be
closer to what we can partically call "Complete", "done", "potentially releasable", or "potentially shippable", to something useable for the users.
71. A new increment of working software must be available ..........
*** New : Correct : At the end of each sprint.
Feedback
An increment of "done" working software, which is potentially releasable, must be producted at the end of each sprint.
72. Which of the following answers may be considered as in increment?
Correct : The sum of all the product backlog items completed during a sprint and the value of the increments of all previous sprints,
Feedback
The increment is the sum of all product backlog items completed during a sprint and the valuse of increments of all previous sprints. At
the end of a sprint, the new increment must be "Done", which means it must be in useable
Condition and meet the scrum team's definition of "Done".
73. From the following answers, choose one, what is not a Development team responsbility
NOT A DT Responsibility
New : Correct : Breaking down Product Backlog items into smaller items.
Feedback
It is the Responsibility of the product owner to break down the large product backlog items into smaller ones. The DT usally
"Helps" in this, but it doesn't make them responsible.
74. Which of the following in not a role in scrum?
Correct : Project Manager
Correct : Team Leader
Feedback
3 roles PM, SM and DT. It's not allowed to define other roles or titles.
75. From the following answers, choose all that apply. What does not happen in the first sprint ( IN case where there are at least 5 sprints)?
Does not Happen
* Correct : Designing the complete architecture ( DOES NOT Happen )
** Correct : Creating a complete Product backlog ( DOES NOT Happen )
** X : Creating a piece of working Software ( IT HAPPEN )
Feedback
**** Product backlog cannot be completed in scrum as a product exists.*** Also architecture can not completed on the first sprint.
76. As we know from the scrum guide, Scrum teams are self-organizing and cross-functiona. Self-organizing scrum teams are characterised by
their ability to...
*** New : Correct : Make local decisions
< Self-organizing ST - Make LD >
* X Make project-based decisions.
Feedback
THe development team is focused on creating increments during sprints, and are self-organized to find out how best to accomplish it. Higher-level
decisions for the project are done by the product owner and other stakeholders.
77. The heart of scurm is a sprint, a time-box of one month or less. By using time-box in sprint, the team helps themselves limit work-in-progress.
New : Correct : Correct
Feedback
Time-box in scrum ceremonies help limit WIP.
78. The product backlog refinement or the product backlog grooming ( Old terminology) is the act of... to items in the product backlog.
Correct : adding details, estimates, and order
Feedback
Product backlog refinement is defined in the scrum guide as that act of adding detail, estimates,
and order to the product backlog items. Remember that product backlog refinement is an ongoing
activity, and is not timeboxed. The rule is that it shouldn't take more than 10% of the developer's time.
79. A company X has decided to be agile and adopt scrum. When happens if they adapt the scrum terminology to their current environment
(ENvironment of Company X)? Select all answers that apply
Correct : The change might not be obvious to everyone, and some benefits may be lost.
* Correct : The change might not be obvious to everyone, and therefore very little change happen.
Correct : Management may feel less enthusiastic about the change.
Feedback
Scrum is a framework rather than a methodology. It's very lightweight and only contains the essential required aspects. Therefore, it shouldn't
be tailored like methodologies.
80. Three pillars of scrum are :
Correct : Transparency, Inspection, Adapatation
வெளிப்படைத்தன்மை, ஆய்வு, தழுவல்
Feedback
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.
Scrum employs an iterative, incremental apporach to optimize predictability and control risk.
Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control: transparency, inspection, and adaptation. (T I A )
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
Scrum Master mock test 3 - 80 questions with explanations
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -
1. A company has four products. From the following answers which two are the most acceptable ways of forming scrum teams?
* Correct : There CAN be one product owner for each product
** Correct : There CAN be a single product owner for all products
< - Only can - no must >
Feedback
When there's one product, there should be only one product owner, even if the product is large and there are many development teams. However,
when there are multiple product,
there are two options :
1) consider them seperate and have a product owner for each of them, and
2) have only one product owner for all of them and develop them in the same way as larger project in order to ensure compatibility.
2. There are many type of ordering the product backlog. What is the benefit of using value points in ordering the Product backlog?
**** New : Correct : It makes the ordering more transparent
Feedback
Value ponts are relative units for value assigned to the Product backlog items it increase transparency (everyone understand why) when applied correctly.
3. The Product owner is the owner of the product Backlog
Correct : True
Feedback
The product owner is the sole responsible person, and they even "Own" the product backlog. Remember that the sprint backlog is owned by the development team.
This is not in contrast to the fact that the product backlog items are estimated by the developers; they provide this information to the product owner to be
included in the product backlog. There are multipe implications by saying that the product owner "Owns" the product backlog or is the sole responsbile person.
Only they can add items to the backlog or decompose them into smaller items; while this is done by input from the customers and dvelopers, and even the product
owner can delegate this responsibility to the developers. Only they can decide on the order of the items on the product backlog, while this is usually based on
the input from customers and developers.
4. No one is allowed to participate at the daily scrum, but the developers.
**** New : Correct : True
Feedback
Anyone can "attend" the daily scrum, but only the developers are allow to 'participate'
5. At the end of the sprint, product back log items worked on during the sprint, does not meet the definition of "done". Which two of the
following are the most approriate action with the undone product backlog items?
*** New : Correct : Don not include the item in the increment at this sprint
*** New : Correct : Return them to the product becklog. The product owner must decide what to do with it
Feedback
Tf there are undone product backlog items in sprint the team must : - Put it on the product backlog for the product owner to decide what to do with it
- Do not inclucde the item in the increment of this sprint.
6. There are 5 scrum teams and they develop single product. Who is responsible for a definition of "done" that can be applied to the
integrated increment?
*** New : Correct : THe scaled scrum intergation team
Feedback
THe scaled scrum intergation team is responsible for a definition of "Done" that can be applied to the integrated increment developed each sprint. All
scrum teams of a scaled adhere to this defintion of "Done".
7. The product owner doesn't spend enough time on product development. Which of the following options is the best response
from the scrum master?
Correct : Train the product owner why it's important for her/him to spend enough time on the project.
Feedback
The scrum is responsible for traning and coaching team members on a proactive way and convinces them to do the right thing. All other
options are either reactive, or not self-organized.
8. The product owner and the scrum master can't be part of the development team.
*** Correct : False`
Feedback
It is ok for the scrum master or for the product owner to be also a member of the development team.
9. The main benefit of sprint planning is that it allows a team to start a new sprint with a shared understanding of what they will work on for
that sprint, as well as an initial plan for how they approach that work. What happens when the product backlog is not clear enough at sprint planning?
*** New : Correct : Nothing. The sprint would be planned anyway.
Feedback
We prefer to have 'ready' items at the top of the prooduct backlog before sprint planning, which is doen thorugh product backlog refinment.
However, nothing stops out flow of sprints, for example we do not delay the sprint because the items are not ready. In scuhc cases, the 'Unready"
items would be selected for the sprint anyway, and refined during the sprint. "Ready" items are those that are clear, and small
enough to fit intoone sprint.
10. When a team that has relied mostly or entirely on manual testing decides to adopt scrum, it will quickly discover how hard it is to run
short sprints when there's a lot of manual testing to be done each sprint. It will also realize that unless it does something drastic,
the technical debts will continue to accumlate. Which two statements are right about technical debt?
*** New : Correct : It creates uncertainty because when more code is added, more problems will occur and the development slows down.
*** New : Correct : It creates false assumptions about the current state of the system, e.g. it might not be releasable.
Feedback
Technical debt creates uncertainty because when more code is added, more problesm will occur and the development slows down. Also, it
creates false assumptions about the current state of the systems, e.g. it might not be releasable.
11. Which of the following is true about the sprint review according to the scrum guide? (choose 2 answers)
** New : Correct : It is 4 hours in one month sprint.
** New : Correct : Stakeholders should attend
Feedback
“A Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed. During the sprint review, the
scrum team and stakeholders collaborate on what was done in the sprint. Based on that and any changes to the product backlog during the sprint,
attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done in order to optimize value. This is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and
the presentation of the increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration. This is at most a four-hour meeting for one-month sprints.
For shorter sprints, the event is usually shorter. The scrum master ensures that the event takes place and that attendees understand its purpose.
The scrum master teaches everyone involved to keep it within the time-box.
12. Each new sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous sprint.
Correct : True
Feedback
Nothing happens between two sprints - the next one starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous.
13. According to the scrum guide, which of the following roles can set the definition of "Done"?
<Note "DoD" - DT >
Correct : The Development Team
Feedback
The development organization may have a definition of
The development organization may have a definition of “Done” composed for all projects in which case the team will use it as
a minimum. Otherwise, the Development Team would be responsible for composing the definition of “Done”. When multiple teams are working on the same product, there can be more than one definition of “Done”, as long as they all have the minimums required by the development organization and can create an integrated Increment.
14. As we lmpw from the scrum guide, the Sprint is a time-box of one month or less. And ther are many advantage. But from the following
answers, whic one is not improved by using time-boxed sprints?
Correct : Technical Debt
Feedback
Technical Debt is any shortcoming in the solution that makes it less "good enough", and might create problems in future. Refactoring is a
common way of reducing technical debt. Timeboxing, however, doesn't help with technical debt. Timeboxing the sprints forces everyone to focus
on the most improtant parts of the work(prioritization). It aslo ensures there will be frequent increments which demonstrate progress. When
working inside timeboxes, it's better to limit work-in-progress, and get items done before going to the next ones. Otherwise, chaces whould be
high that the team ends up with many in-progress items, and not enough "Done" items at the end of the sprint.
15. How are product backlog itesm selected in scaled scrum?
Correct : Development Teams pull in items in agreement with the product owner.
Feedback
The develoment teams are self-organized and it's their responsibility to select items from the product backlog. When there are multiple teams, all
of them should do it together. They should also seek the acceptance of the product owner, since s/he should be able to have a history of items.
16. There are three team in scaled scrum. THey are all working on the same product. accordint to this, each tema should have its own
definition of "done"
Correct : False
Feedback
All teams can use the same definition of "Done", but individual scrum teams may choose to apply a more stringent definition
of "Done" within their own teams, but cannot apply less rigorous criteria than agreed for the increment.
17. In the middle of the sprint, the development team realized they cannot deliver the increment because of misunderstanding of the
functional requirements. What should they do?
** Correct : Collaborate with the Product owner to solve the problem
Feedback
The product owner is responsible for making all items clear and understood. If the problem wasn't solved, then there's no option other
than leaving it to go back to the product backlog at the end of the sprint, and be done later. The team is cross-functional and doesn't use external
help. We don't deliver partially complete items; everything should be done base on the definition of "done".
18. There are 5 scrum teams and they develop single product. How can the scrum master help multiple teams keeping their outpu aligned in a single
Product?
*** New : Correct : Teach them that it's their responsibility to work with the other teams to create aligned outputs and an integrated increment.
Feedback
The answer should be compatible with the self-organization concept; the scrum master or the product owner is not supposed to do anything
directly in this regard; it's only the responsibility of the development team(s) to find their way.
19. The development team is self-organized, and therefore, can decide to remove the daily scrum as daily meeting.
Correct : False
Feedback
Daily scrum is mandatory for development team in scrum.
20. Who's responsbile for ordering the product backlog?
*** Correct : The Product Owner
Feedback
The Product Owner is responsbile for ordering the product backlog and has the final say about it, product owner's decisions about the product
backlog should be respected by everyone: no one can override his/her decisions. THe product Owner's decisions can be influenced by any
stakeholder, but the last say still belongs to the product woner.
21. As we know from the scrum guide,.....and ...... are activities from the scrum master.
New : Correct : Facilitate inspection and adaptation opportunites as requested or needed
New : Correct : Helping the development team to create high-value products
X * Assign tasks with scrum team
Feedback
Due to scrum guide:- Facilitating scrum events are requested or needed - Removing implediments to development team's progress.
22. From the following list of answers, choose one which less likely to used by a scrum team.
<Less likely>
*** New : correct : WBS, Gantt chart
*** X : Wiki, online forum
feedback
WBS and Gantt chart are used in traditional projects because they are focused on an upfront understanding of the scope of the project.
The scope of agile projects evolves during the project.
23. Since the product owner is responsible for making the product backlog items clear to the developers when many development
Teams are working on the same product, one person won't be enough, and it might require having multiple Product owners.
Correct : False
Feedback
One product Backlog = one product owner
24. As described by Steve McConnel, The Cone of Uncertainty shows that (in scrum terminology)
New : Correct : The uncertainty is usually highest in the first few Sprints.
Feedback
The "cone of Uncertainty" is about the fact that uncertainty is highest at the beginning of the project, and reduced as we progress. This
uncertainty can be about the duration, requirements, etc.,
25. From the following answers choose the best. Which of the following best describes transparency?
26.
27.
28. .... is the most valuable metric for a product owner to measeure the progress of the product
New : Correct : The forecasted completion date.
Feedback
THe most important thing to calculate is the completion date of the project. That's also the most important thing that should be
communicted to the customer. Traditional criteria such as lines of code or man-hours spent on the project are not good measures of
performance. The velocity can be a guide in forecasting the completion date, but is not enoug, and is not the main reporting item.
29. If there are 40 developers for a scrum project, how should they be divided into teams?
Correct : Delveopers should decides
Feedback
Each Scrum team should(not must) have a maximum of 9 members. when more developers are required, multiple teams can work on the
same product and it will be called scaled srum. The developers are self-organized and decide how to form the teams.
30. From the following answers choose all when there is a reason why automated builds are important.
*** New : Correct : They allow frequent validation of the unit of software being worked on, ensuring it reamains in a portentially shippable state.
*** New : Correct : They support continuous integration
*** New : Correct : The build process is clearly defined and scripted, making it easy consistent and repeatebale.
Feedback
There a 3 reasons of this : - They allow frequent validation of the unit of software being worked on, ensuring it reamains in a portentially shippable state.
- They support continuous integration - The build process is clearly defined and scripted, making it easy consistent and repeatebale.
31.In 1 hour there will be the sprint review. The scrum team realized they haven't completed the sprint backlog. What happes to the incomplete
product backlog items?
Correct They would be re-estimate and moved back to the product backlog.
Feedback
The itesm should be re-estimated, because they have been partially done, and it would takes lesss effort to complete them in the future. whenever an
item is not done during the sprint ( for cancellation or reaching the end of the timebox), it would be moved back to product backlog, rather than
the next sprint backlog. This is so, because the product owner might reorder them, and they won't be on the top of the product backlog anymore.
32. Which statement is correct whem the developers are working in the middle of the sprint?
*** New : Correct : The scope may be clarififed as more is learned
Feedback
During the sprint, as more is learned, the scope may be clarified and re-negotiated by the product owner and the development team. This is
mainly focused on the interpretation of the product backlog itesm and the resk credte
33. At w?hich event must the product owner update the product backlog?
Correct : THe product backlog may be updated anytime.
X 8 The PB is updated after the sprint review.
Feedback
There's no "project plan" artefact in scrum. The product backlog is a form of planning in
Scrum projects' and it's updated continuously ( PRoduct backlog refinedment.)
34. The development team realized that the sprint goal becomes objolete and trying to convince the product ownere that the sprint
should be cancelled. What's the right response from the scrum master?
New : Correct : The scrum master should stop this because the development team does not have the authority to influence sprint canellation.
Feedback
Only the product owner has the authority to cancel a sprint, and the final decision belogns to her/him. Howerver, this decision can be influenced by
the customer (incl.stakeholders) or / and developers or/ and scrum master.
35. Who updates the work remainig during the sprint?
Correct : The Development Team
Feeback
The Sprint backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the daily scrum
The Development team modifies the sprint backlog thourghout 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
required to achieve the sprint goal.
- The Sprint backlog makes visible all of the work that the develoment team identifies as necessary to
meet the spring goal.
36. The purpose of the daily scrum for the developers is to inform the product owner of the progress.
Correct : False
Feeback
The main prupose of daily scrum is the synchronization for developers.
37. The sprint review is the only time when stakeholder feedbackis captured.
Correct : False
Feeback
The sprint review is probably the most important opportunity for capturing feedback, but adaptation is not limited to that. The product
Owner is constantly in contact with the stakeholders to identify new product backlog items, or to refine them.
38. As we know from the scrum guide, higher ordered product backlog items are usually clearer and more detailed than lower ordered ones.
How should a product backlog items be refined when it is located at the top? (Choose 2 answers)
*** New : Correct : In a way that ic can be "done" in timeboxed duration of one sprint.
*** New : Correct : In a way that ic's clear enough for the developers.
*** X : It should be clear which developer is responsible for it.
Feeback
Items at the top of the product backlog should be small enough to fit in one sprint. they should also be clear and detailed enough; but not too
detailed (eg. not with all the tasks identified), as it would be an upfront planning. Tasks are created gradually during the sprint. PRoduct backlog
items require multiple expertise, and are usually done by multiple developers. Therefore, they are not assigned. Tashks, however, are assigned to
the individual developers, while everyone statys accountable.
39. What type of skills are required for the Scrum Team to implement the increment after each sprint?
Correct : Any type of skill to accomplish the work
Feeback
The Scrum Team consists of a product owner, the development team, and a scrum master. Scrum Teams are self-organizing and cross-functional.
Self-organizing teams choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. Cross-functional
teams have all the competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others who are not part of the team. The team model
in scrum is designed to optimize flexibility, creativity, and productivity. The scrum team has proven itself to be increasingly effective
for all the earlier stated uses and any complex work.
40. Each Sprint Backlog item is assigned to the member of the Dev Team. He or she is responsible for this item.
Correct : False
Feeback
The ownership of the items and tasks are shared. The items are not even "assigned" to developers because they require multiple experties. Only
the tasks are assigned, and even then, their ownership is shared.
41. The reason why the technical debt is important for the product owner is that.....
*** New : Correct : It may increase the "total cost of onwership"
Feeback
42. From the following answers what are the responsibilities of the development team in scrum?
*** New : Correct : Provide Estimates
Correct : Design software
Correct : Make technical decisions
X Order the Prodcut Backlog ( PO's task )
X Prioritize the Prodcut Backlog ( PO's task )
Feeback
Desigining the software is part of the development and should be done by the developers. They are self-organized and make technical decisions.
Estimation is the responsibility of the developers because they are the people who will develop the items. The rest is done by the product owner.
43. Ths scrum Team is ready to realese a product. From the following answers choose 2 best of how the success of the product may be evaluated.
*** New : Correct : By improving KPIs through frequent releases
*** New : Correct : By increaseing the satisfaction of the customer.
X **** By delivering any increment every sprint.
Feeback
Customer and end-user satisfaction is important. IT's not an abstract measure like lines of code or velocity. There can be KPIs for
measuring the value of the releases, and when improved, will show our success. Increased velocity is desired, by it's not directly connected to
value and can be misleading. That's the same with production cost. It's also mandatory to deliver an Increment every sprint.
44. Scrum is a lightweight development methodology.
Correct : False
Feeback
Scrum is referred to as a "framework", rather than a "methodollogy"
45. According to the scrum guide, this scrum event creates a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next sprint.
Correct : Sprint Restrospective
Feeback
The Sprint Restrospective is an opportunity for the scrum team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next sprint.
46. At the beginning of the sprint planning the scrum team doesn't have enough information about future tasks. What' the maximum duration
of the sprint planning when the product backlog is not Crear?
Correct : 8 Hours
Feeback
Sprint planning is time-boxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month sprint.
47. Some teams establish a new baseline at the start of each project. A baselined product backlog is called :
New : Correct : Product backlog is not baselined in scrum
Feeback
"Baseline" is a term used in traditional environments for referring to a finalized upfront plan that would be followed in the furtue, and used for
evaluating the act performance. There's no uprfront planning and no baselines in scrum.
48. What is the main responsibility of the tester role in scrum?
New : Correct : Ther's no tester role is scrum
Feeback
49.
The Product owner can transfer some of his/her accountability to the developers.
*** New : Correct : False
Feeback
The Product Owner can delegate his/her responsibilities to the development team, but s/he stays accountable.
50. WHich of the following are typical works for a product owner between the end of the sprint planning and before the sprint review?
*** Choose only 2 not 3 here.
*** New : Correct : Cooperate with stakeholders
*** New : Correct : Refine the Product Backlog with the Development Team.
X Inform CEO about the progress of the product.
Feeback
Product Backlog refinement is continuous and can happen anytime. Besides that, the product owner is constantly in contact with the
developers to make sure everything is clear. They are alos in contact with the cusomer to understand their new requirement. Assignments and
sprint performance measurement are done by the developers, and only the developers
participate in the Daily Scrums.
51. According to the scrum guide what is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product?
Correct : The Product Backlog
Feeback
Everything we might want to apply to the product, including changes, are reflected in the product backlog. It's high-level but contains everything.
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of requirements for any
changes to be made to the product.
52. The product owner is the sole person responsible for managing the product backlog.
Correct : True
Feeback
The Product owner is the sole responsible person,
The product owner is the sole responsible person, and they even "Own" the product backlog. NOTE: remember that the sprint backlog is owned by the development team.
This is not however in contrast to the fact that the product backlog items are estimated by the developers, they provide this information to the product owner to be
included in the product backlog.
There are multipe implications by saying the product ownere "Owns" the product backlog or is the solre responsbile person. Only
can add items to the backlog or decompose them into smaller items; while this is done by input from the customers and dvelopers, and even the product owner can
delegate this responsibility to the developers. Only they can decide on the order of the items on the product backlog, while this is usually based on the input
from customers and developers.
53. The scrum master is a management role.
Correct : True
Feeback
The scrum master is a management role, but for the process, rather than for the people.
54. From the following answers choose the best which describes the definition of "Done"?
*** Correct : Everything that would make the output potentially releasable.
X * Anything that stakeholders find necessary.
Feeback
The definition of "Done" helps us understand when everything is done on a product backlog item, and it can become part of the increment. The
definition of "Done" is defined by the development organization, or the development team, rather than the product owner.
55. There should be the integration sprint to integrate the solution.
*** New : Correct : False
Feeback
There is no additional integration sprint in scrum. All sprints are the same and create increments. Integration is done during all sprints.
56. Which role is the equivalent of project manager is scrum?
Correct : None
Feeback
THe Project management activities are distributed among all three roles.
57. The sprint is cancelled....
Correct : When the sprint goal doesn't make sense anymore
Feeback
When the scrum team didn't complete all Sprint backlog items at the end of the sprint.
58. What is the velocity in scrum?
Correct : Average amount of work done per Sprint.
Feeback
Velocity is measure of the amout of work a Team can tackle during a single sprint and is the key metric in Scrum.
59. According to the scrum guide, who monitors the remaining work of the sprint backlog?
Correct : The development Team
Feeback
The product owner is responsible for measuring the progress of the project adn tracking the remaining work in the product backlog. The
Developent team is responsible for measuring the progress of the sprint and tracking the remaining work in the sprint backlog.
60. From the following answers select all that can be discussed in a sprint retrospective?
Select only one
**** New : Correct : The definition of "Done"
*** X The product backlog items for the next sprint
* X Refining the product backlog
Feeback
Sprint retrospective is used for planning for improvements. One of them is improving the definition of "Done"
61. In scrum the increment must be shipped.....
Correct : When it makes sense
Feeback
The increment should be potentially releasable (shippable), but we don't have to release all of them. It depends on the project environment and
the customer, and the product owner is supposed to decide on it.
62. Which two of the following are true about the scrum?
Correct : Scrum is a framework for developing and maintaining complex products
Correct : Scrum is based on empirical process control theory
Feeback
Scrum is a framework, not a methodology or body of knowledge. Scrum is empirical, rather than theoretical. Scrum is more about project delivery
rather than project management. Scrum is adaptive, rather than predicitve (it's more than just using sprints and related artefacts). Scrum
should be used entirely (we don not tailor it)
63. Who is checking that dev team are doing their tasks or items (in the sprint backlog) during the sprint?
Note : Sprint backlog monitoring > the development team
Correct : The development team
Feeback
The developers take responsibility for doing the tasks (assignment) themselves, and the development team ensures that all tasks are done
properly. Remeber that they are self-organized. When items are "Done", the product owner checks them, but this is focused on the item, rather
than individuals; all developers are accountable for their outputs.
64. It is OK for the items
It is OK for the items at the bottom of the Product Backlog to have less detail compared to those at the top.
Correct : True
Feeback
Items at the bottom of the Product Backlog won’t be developed soon, and therefore, we don't need to spend too much time making them.
Otherwise, it would be a form of upfront planning. Items at the bottom of the product backlog won't be developed soon, and therefore, we don't-have
need to spend too much time on them. Otherwise, it would be a form of upfron planning.
65. What is the main activity for the product owner during the sprint retrospective?
*** New : Correct : Participate as a Scrum Team member
Feedback
The whole scrum team should Participate in the rsprint restrospective to find an improvement to be applied in the next sprint; including the Product Owner.
66. Which of the following is a responsibility of team leaders when multiple teams are working on the same product?
Correct : There is no team leader in scrum
Feedback
There are only three roles in scrum, and it's not allowed to add other roles or titles : Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team.
67. No one attend the sprint planning but the scrum team.
Correct : False
Feedback
Everyone is free to "attend" the meetings, as long as they don't "Participate".
attend : கலந்து கொள்ளுங்கள்
Participate : பங்கேற்க
68. The product owner must invite stakeholders to the sprint retropstive.
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
The product owner invities the stakeholders to the sprint review meeting. The sprint retrospective is internal to the team. As usual, others
can attend, but they cannot participate.
69. The number of developers has increased from 8 to 15. Now the duration of the daily scrum event is not 15 minutes, but more. What's/he
the best response to this problem?
*** New : Correct : Divide the developers into two scrum team, with minimum dependency.
Feedback
The maximum number of development team members is 9 (Optimal size). If more is needed, it's possible to use scaled scrum(more than one
team working on the same product).
70. Choose 2 correct statements about the sprint backlog item that was not finished by the end of the sprint?
**** New : Correct : It won't be demonstrated at the sprint review meeting.
* Correct : It will be moved back to the product backlog.
X *** It will be completed in the next sprint.
Feedback
ONly the 100% complete items are demonstrated, to avoid confusion. When something is not complete, it will be move back to the product
backlog. If it's still on the top of the Product Backlog, development will continue in the next sprint.
71. Scrum is a container for other techniques and methodologies.
Correct : True
Feedback
Scrum us a process framework that has been used to manage work on complex products since the early 1990s. Scrum is not a process,
techniques, or definitive method. Rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques. Scrum makes clear
the relatvie efficacy if your prodcut management and work techniques so that you can continuously improve the product, the team, and the
working environment.
72. The Scrum Team and the development team are the same teams in scrum.
Correct : False
Feedback
The Development Team is part of the entire scrum team. But definitely not the same as a scrum team.
73. Which role is responsible to determine when a release can occur?
Note < Release - Product Owner >
*** New : Correct : The Product Owner
Feedback
It is the responsibility only of Product Owner.
74. The development team should have the supervisor to ensure the work is correctly exected
Correct : False
Feedback
There is no supervisor role in scrum
75. Scrum mandates the use of burn-down charts.
Correct : False
Feedback
It's common and recommended to use burn-down charts, but it is not mandatory.
76. Which two of the following is true about the daily scrum?
Correct : It is time-boxed
Correct : Only the development team participates at the meeting
Feedback
The Daily scrum is a 15-minutes time-boxed event for development team. The daily scrum is held evey day of the sprint. At this event, the
Development team plans work for the next 24 hours.
77. The scrum team is planning to start the first sprint. The product backlog item "ready" for selection in a sprint planning meeting when.....
*** New : Correct : It can be "done" within one sprint.
Feedback
Product backlog items that will occupy the development team for the upcoming sprint are
refined so that any one item can reasonably be "Done" within the sprint time-box. Product backlog items that can be "Done" by the development team within one
sprint are deemed "Ready" for selection in a sprint planning. Product backlog items usually acquire this degreee of transparency through the above described
refining activities.
78. It's Up to the development team to decide which scrum events are needed durint the script
Correct : False
Feedback
All scrum events are necessary for development team.
79. According to the scrum guide this role is responsible for representing the interests of the stakeholder.
Correct : The product owner
Feedback
The product owner is one person, not a committee. THe 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.
80. When multiple scrum teams are working on the same produdt, should their sprint length be the same?
Correct : No
Feedback
It is possible for the teams in a scaled scrum to have different sprint length, so long as the shorter length are evenly divisible into the longest one.
Aligning the sprint boundaries across the scaled scrum may help teams to take attention on delivering an integrated increments. Some of the teams
Can make partial progress in their own sprint cycles, but the entire scaled scrum must deliver a working increment so that the organization
can see whether it is making progress toward its delivery goal.
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
Scrum Master mock test 4 - 80 questions with explanations
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -
1. During the sprint .....(continue correct statement )
**** New : Correct : The scope may be re-negotiated as more is learned
Feedback
During the sprint :No changes are made that would endanger the sprint goal; quality goals do not decrease; the scope may be clarified abd re-negotiated
between the product owner and development team as more is learned.
2. According to the scrum guide, the sprint backlog makes visible all of the work the... identifies as necessary to meet the sprint goal
Correct : Development Team
Feedback
The Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal.
The Sprint backlog is a forecast by the development team of what functionality will be in the next increment, and the work needed to
deliver that functionality into a "Done" Increment.
3. An organization is building different products by using the scrum framework. How can they measure the success of using scrum?
* Only 2 not 3
* New : Correct : by increasing customer satisfaction
*** New : Correct : Through frequent releases and meeting the value metrics or KPIs
*** X by reducing costs
*** X by delivering an increment every sprint
Feedback
Customer and end-user satisfaction is important. It's not an abstract measure as in the case of lines of code or velocity. There can be some
KPIs for measuring the value of the releases, and when improved, will show our success. Increased velocity is desired, by it's not directly
connected to value and can be misleading. THis is the same with production cost. It's mandatory to deliver an increment every sprint.
4. The PRoduct owner is accountable for the result and therefore should have the final say over the DoD
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
Development teams deliver an increment of product functionality every sprint. This increment is usable, so a product owner may choose to
immediately release it. if the definition of "Done" for an increament is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development
organization, all scrum teams must follow it as a minimum.
5. Scrum shold be tailored for the project.
Correct : False
Feedback
Unlike methodologies, the Scrum “framework” is not tailored because it’s already limited to the essentials. Even the terms should not change.
However you need to add many practies and techniques to the framework.
6. What is the most optimal length of a sprint?
உகந்த
*** New : Correct : Short enough to minimise risk
* X Two weeks
Feedback
The lenght of sprint should be short enough to minimise risk but no more than 1 month.
7. The scrum team begins the first sprint. What is the main activities for the development team during this sprint? Select all correct answers.
Choose only one best answer.
Note increment , releasable product.
*** New : Correct : Turn the product backlog items it selects into the sprint backlog to an increment of potentially releaseable product functionality
Feedback
Development teams deliver an increment of product functionality every sprint. This increment is usable, so a product owner may choose to
immediately release it. If the definition of "Done" for an increment is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development
organization, all scrum teams must follow it as a minimum.
8. Who is responsible for ordering the items in the product backlog to best achieve goals and missions?
Correct : The product owner
Feedback
The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog. Product Backlog management includes:
…
* Clearly expressing Product Backlog items;
Ordering the items in the product backlog to best achieve goals and missions;
Optimizing the value of the work the evelopment team performs;
…
The Product Owner may do the above work, or have the Development Team do it.
The PO is responsible for identifying the Key Stakeholders and involving them as necessary.
The Scrum Master is responsible for facilitating the Scrum events.
9. A definition of done drives the quality of work and is used to assess when an item has been completed. From the following answers
choose incorrect (the least accurate) statement about the definition of done.
*** New : Correct : The product owner creates it.
Feedback
Definition of Done is created by the Development Team
10. The product owner is alos the owner and the creator of the definition of "Done".
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
Development team deliver an increment of product functionality every sprint. This increment is usable, so a product owner may choose to immediately
release it. If the definition of "Done" for a an increment is part of the convention,
standards or guidelines of the development organization, all scrum teams must follow it as a minimum.
If "done" for an increment is not convention of the development organization, the development team of scrum must define a definition of
"Done" Oppropriate fot the Product. If there are multiple scrum Teams working on the system or Product release, the development teams on all
the scrum teams mus mutually define the definition of "Done".
11. The sprint backlog must be baselined at the end of the each sprint planning.
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
We don't baseline any artefact in scrum. The sprint backlog is dynamics, and the changes during the sprint to include newly identified tasks.
12. As the sprint planning meeting progresses, the development team realise there are too many items in the sprint backlog. what are the
valid actions? select all correct answers.
New : Correct : Inform the product onwer about this and monitior progresses
*** New : Correct : Remove the items from the scprint backlog.
Feedback
When the development team realizes theya cannot finish everything, they receive help from the product owner to adjest their work (tasks), to
ensure they will deliver maximum value by the end of the sprint.
13. This role in scrum is responsible for planning releases
Correct : Product owner
Feedback
This is the responsibility of the Product owner
14.
15. As we know from the scrum guide, the sprint backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the daily
scrum. who can change the sprint backlog in the middle of the sprint?
Correct : Only the Development Team
Feedback
The sprint backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the Dialy Scrum. 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.
16. The prodcut owner may choose to delegate the responsibility of estimating to the development team or even to the scrum master. Item
is up to the PO.
Correct : False
Feedback
Estimating is the responsibility of the development team by default. The product owner doesn't have such authority in first place,to delegate it.
17. How long the sprint planning takes in 3 weeks sprint according to the scrum guide?
Correct : 6 hours
Feedback "D"
18. User stories are mandatory in scrum
Correct : False
Feedback
Although it is very good practice to user stories, they are not mandatory in scrum.
19. In the middle of the sprint, a development team realised that they can complete more tasks. They decide to add additional items
from the product backlog to the sprint backlog. Who should be present to decide additional work and acordingly modify the sprint backlog
( Choose 2 answers )
Correct : Development Team
*** New : Correct : Product Owner
* X Scrum Team
Feedback
Product Owner and members of the development team should decide which items they can add to the current sprint backlog.
20. From the following answers choose correct one. Which of the following helps the product owner avoid waste in the project?
New : Correct : Don't add much detail to the product backlog items until they move to the top of the backlog.
Feedback
There's no need to spend too much time on the items at the bottom of the product backlog. They can be broken down into smaller items and
have more details when they move to the top of the backlog.
21. The scrum team thinks that the product will be realised in 4 sprints. The product owner wants to create acceptance tests for all items. In
this case, what is the best response from the scrum master?
Correct : It is not necessary. The items should be discussed in more detail before development, rather than upfront.
Feedback
Scrum doesn't use upfront planning and design, and what described in this questions is a form of upfront prepration.
22. The scrum team realise the sprint goal by using this artefact.
**** New : Correct : Sprint Backlog
Feedback
The sprint backlog makes visible all the work that the development team identifies as necessary to meet the sprint goal. To ensure
continuous improvement, it includes at least one hihgh priority process improvement identified in the previous retrospecctive meeting.
23. Which of the following is correct about product backlog refinement?
*** Correct : It shouldn't consume more that 10% of the capacity of the development team.
Feedback
The scrum team decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the development
team. However, product backlog itm=ems can be updated at any time by the product owner or at the product owner's discretion (விவேகம்).
24. The sprint backlog is a list of tasks to be completed during the sprint. If new itesm must be added into the sprint backlog, this role in scrum
can do it.
Correct : The development team
Feedback
The sornt backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the daily scrum. The development team modifies
the sprint backlogh throughout the sprint, and the sprint backlog emerges during the sprint. This emergence occurs as the developement
team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the sprint goal.
25. At this scrum event the scrum team discusses the process improvements
*** New : Correct : Sprint Retrospective.
Feedback
The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint.
The purpose of the the sprint retrospective is to:
- Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relations-hips, process, and tools;
- Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements; and
- Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work.
26. According to the scrum guide, which of the following is not a scrum event?
Correct : Weekly status
Feedback
Scrum prescribes four formal events for inspections and adaptation, as described in the scrum events section of this document:
- Sprint planning
- Daily scrum
- Sprint Review
- Sprint Retrospective
27. For one month sprint, what is the recommended duration of the sprint review?
*** New : Correct : 4 hours
< Note : SR - 1M - 4 HRs >
Feedback
Sprint Review is a four-hour time-boxed meeting for one-month Sprints. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter.
28. One of the most important goal for all scrum team is to deliver product of the highest business value. According to this, what factos
will enable the scrum team to balance creativity, flexibility and productivity? Select all correct answers.
Correct : Having all the skills required to perform all their work without external help
Correct : Scructuring the team such that it can self-organize its work agains a common goal.
Feedback
There is no team leader in the scrum team and it is impossible to reward only part of Dev Team in Scrum.
29. Select all correct answers. During which meeting do team members synchronisse their daily work and report impediments for removal.
< Note : Report impedement - removal - Daily Scrum>
*** New : Correct : Daily Scrum
Feedback
The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the development team.
The daily scrum is held every day of the sprint. At it, the development team plans works for the next 24 hours. This optimizes team
collaboration and performance by inspecting the work since the last daily scrum and forecasting upcoming sprint work. The daily scrum
is held at the same time and place each day to reduce complexity
30. The maximum duration of the sprint planning is
Correct : 8 hours
Feedback
Sprint planning is time-boxed to a maximum duration of eight hours for a one month sprint. For shorter sprint, the vent is usually shorter.
31. Stakeholders provide feedback in the sprint review, and this feedback impacts the next sprint planning meeting
Correct : True
Feedback
The result of the sprint review is a revised product backlog that defines the probable product backlog items for the next sprint. The product
backlog may also be adjusted overall so as to meet new opportunities.
32. All of the following occur at the sprint planning meeting, except
Correct : The development team identify and order the major items that went well and ptential improvements.
Feedback
Having set the sprint goal and selected the product backlog items for the sprint, the development team decides how it will build this functionaliyt
into a "done" product increment during the sprint. The product backlog items selected for this print plus the plan for delivering them is called
the sprint backlog. The developement team usually starts by designing the system and the work needed to convert the product backlog into a
working product increment. Work may be of varying size or estimated effort. However, enough work is planned during sprint planning for the
development team to forecast what is believes it can do in the upcoming sprint. Work planned for the first days of the sprint by the development
team is decomposed by the end of this meeting, often to units of one day or less. The development team self-organizes to undertake the work in
the sprint backlog, both during sprint planning and as needed throughout the sprint.
33. The maximum duration of one sprint may be more than one month
Correct : False
Feedback
Each sprint may be considered a project with no more than a one-month horizon. Like projects, sprints are used to accomplish something. Each
sprint has a goal of what is to be built, a design and flexible plan that will guide building it, the work, and the resultant product incremment.
34. From the following answers choose all correct about the sprint retrospective.
*** New : Correct : The Sprint retrosppective is an opportunity for the scrum team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted
during the next sprint.
*** New : Correct : By the end of the sprint retrospective, the scrum team should have identified improvements that it will implement in the next sprint.
Feedback
The Sprint retrosppective happens after the sprint review; it's the last event in the sprint. It's threee hours in a one-month sprint, and all scrum
team members attend it. Its purpose is planning for improvements in the process( the way we're working), but it's not the only time we try to improve.
Similar to sprint planning, sprint review, and daily scrum, it's an opportunity for inspection and adaptation.
35. Scrum does not scale to large teams
** New : Correct : False
Feedback
Each scrum team should have a maximum of 9 members (optimmal). When more developers are required, multiple teams can work on the same
product and it will be called scaled scrum. The developers are self-organized and decide how to form the teams.
36. As we know from the scrum guide, the sprint retrospective is going after the sprint review.
*** New : Correct : True
Feedback
It is correct because sprint restrospective is the last meeting (event) in sprint.
37. The scrum team adapts the DoD at the ........
Correct : Sprint Retrospective
Feedback
During each sprint restrospective, the scrum team plans ways to increase product quality by improving work processes or adapting the definition
of "done", if appropriate and not in conflict with a product or organizational standards.
38. The sprint retrospective is
Correct : intended to promote continuous process improvements.
Feedback
The sprint retrospective is an opportunity for the scrum team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next sprint.
39. A new sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous sprint.
Correct : True
Feedback
Each new sprint starts immediately after the conslcustion of the previous one; there's no time between two sprints.
40. What is the best description of the sprint backlog?
Correct : The sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product increment and
realising the sprint goal.
Feedback
Explanation of the answer is in the answer : The sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for
delivering the product increment and realising the sprint goal. This is definitely the best description of the sprint backlog and as we think
(based on user answers) almost the same answers you will see at exam.
41. No one has the right to give the dev team additional tasks(not related to the current sprint) during the sprint. The sprint goal
should remain unchanged. These are conditions that increase the efficiency and productivity of the dev team. According to this, which
of the following is NOT correct?
*** New : Correct : The Sprint backlog is a list of everything that is required to complete in the sprint and this artefact fully completed at the sprint planning.
Feedback
The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint.
THe Sprint backlog is a list of everything that is required to complete in the sprint but this artefacts is not fully completed at the sprint planning and new
items my be added to the sprint backlog during the sprint.
42. According to the scrum guide,....lists all features, functions, requirements, enhancements, and fixes that constitue the changes to be
made to the product in future releases.
Correct : The Product Backlog
Feedback
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is know to be needed in the product. It is the single source of requirements for any
Changes to be made to the product. The product owner is responsible for the product backlog, including its content, availability, and ordering.
43. In scrum the product backlog is ordered by
Correct : Importance
Feedback
The product backlog is ordered by Importance. This importance is generated by the product owner.
44. There are sperate product backlogs in multiple scrum tesams with a single product.
Correct : False
Feedback
One product = one Product backlog = on product owner even for multiple scrum team.
45. The scrum master tracks the work remaining in the product backlog
Correct : False
Feedback
This is the responsibility of a product owner. At any point in time, the total reamining to reach a goal can be summed. The product owner
tracks this total work remainig at ;east every sprint review. The product owner compares this amount with working remainig at previous sprint
reviews to assess progress toward completing projected work by the desired time for the goal. This information is made transparent to all
stakeholders.
46. Who is responsbible for the burn-down chart and gantt chart in scrum?
Correct : NO one in scrum
Feedback
burn-down chart and gantt chart are not mandatory in scrum
47. The product backlog is baselined at the start of the project and not changed for at least first two sprints
Correct : False
Feedback
Product backlog cannot be baselined in scrum
48. This agile planning artefact must be updated at least once annually
Correct : Product Vision
Feedback
Product Vision is updated by product owner at least once a year
49. From the following answers, choose two true statements about the product owner
New : Correct : The product owner is expressing product backlog items
**** New : Correct : The Product owner facilitating scrum events as requested or needed
X *** The product owner ensuring the development team understands items in the product backlog to the level needed.
Feedback
The product owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the development team. How this is done
may vary widely across organizations, scrum teams, and individuals. THe product owner is the sole person responsible for managing the product
backlog. Product backlog management includes :
- Clearly expressing product backlog items;
- Ordering the itesm in the product backlog to best achieve goals and missions;
- Optimizing the value of the work the development team performs;
- Ensuring that the product backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the scrum team will work on next;
- Ensuring the development team understands items in the product backlog to the level needed.
50. How many weeks are rquired to release increment based on the following information : 240 point release backlog - 3 weeks per sprint
-45 points velocity per sprint?
Correct : 18 weeks
Feedback
45 points are velocity for 1 sprint (3 weeks). It means that velocity for 1 week is 15 point (45/3 =15) There are 240 points to complete release.
240 points/ 15 points (1 Week) = 16 weeks. But the duration of scrum is 3 weeks and the increment will be ready only after the third week of the srpint.
so the correct answer is 18 weeks.
51. This agile planning artefact must be updated at least once semi-annually
**** New : Correct : Product Roadmap
Feedback
Product roadmap should be updated at least once semi-annually
52. The product backlog may be updated only duing the product backlog refinement session an the sprint planning.
Correct : False
Feedback
Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the development team. However, product backlog items can be updated at
any time by the product owner or at the product owner's discretion.
53. A member of the development team expresses his or her concerns to the scrum master about performance issues of sprint backlog items.
What should the scrum master do?
New : Correct : Ask the member to share the issue with the development team
Feedback
The scrum master should ask the member to share the issue with the development team.
54. Non-functional or system or security requirements should always be written as user stories.
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
User stories are not mandatory in scrum. So they can be written in any form which is appropriate for the team.
55. This role reqpresents the interests of the stakeholders and ensures the value of the work completed.
Correct : Product owner
Feedback
The product owner is one person, not a committee. The product owner, may represent the desires of a committe in the product backlog, but
those wanting to change a product backlog item's priority must address the product owner.
56. Which two statements are true about the sprint backlog?
New : Correct : The sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product increment and
realizing the sprint goal
*** New : Correct : The sprint backlog makes visible all of the work that the development team identifies as necessary to meet the sprint goal.
Feedback
The sprint backalog is the set of prodcut backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product increment and realizing the
sprint goal. The sprint backlg 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 sprint backlog makes visible all the work that the development team identifies as
necessary to meet the sprint goal. To ensure continuous improvement, it includes at least one high priority process improvement identified in
the previous retrospective meeting.
57. In what ways does the product owner manage the value of the product? (Choose 2 answers)
Correct : PRoduct backlog order
Correct :Customer feedback via frequent releases
Feedback
The product owner manages the value of the product by:
1 - Product backlog order
2 - Customer feedback via frequent releases
58. At any point in time in a sprint, the total work remaining in the sprint backlog can be summed. Who is managing the progress of work
during a sprint?
Correct : The development team
Feedback
At any point in time in a Sprint, the total work remaining in the Sprint Backlog can be summed. The Development Team tracks this total work
remaining at least for every Daily Scrum to project the likelihood of achieving the Sprint Goal. By tracking the remaining work throughout the
Sprint, the Development Team can manage its progress.
59. According to the scrum guide, who is on the scrum team? select all correct answers.
Correct : Product owner, development team , scrum master
Feedback
The scrum team consists of a Product owner, development team ,and a scrum master
60. Scrum team uses the information of scrum artefacts to make ongoing decisions. The soundness of these decisions depends on
New : Correct : Artefacts' transparency
Feedback
Scrum relies on transparency. Decisions to optimize value and control risk are made based on the preceived state of the artefacts. To the extent
that transparency is complete, these decisions have a sound basis. To the extent that the artefacts are incompletely transparent, these decisions
can be flawed, value may diminis and risk may increase.
61. As we from the scrum guide, the empiricism provides....(Select all correct answers)
* Correct Frequent Opportunities to discuss different possibilities
*** New : Correct Frequenc opportunities to make informed decisions, reducing risk
XX Frequent opportunities to get information using which uncertainty can be completely eliminated.
Feedback
Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empricism. Empricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making
decisions based on what is know. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. Three
pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control; transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
62. At the sprint review, the stakeholders notice that product development is going very slow, the product progress is not very
visible and lacked transparency. In general, stakeholders can't understand what the team is doing and not sure about the value of
the product. Who is responsible for this?
Correct : The product owner
Feedback
Form the scrum guide: The PO is ensuring that the product backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the scrum team will
work on next. THe product owner is the lead facilitator of key stakeholder involvement. The PO is responsible for identifying the key stakeholders
for the product and involving them as necessary throughout the development effort. We will change the explanation to make it more clear.
63. 2 scrum teams develop one product. It was decided to create one moe scrum team to develop the same product. It means, that the
productivity and efficiency of the scrum team will increase,
Correct : False
Feedback
Each scrum team needs to mutually define their definition of "Done" so their combined work will be potentially releasable. This involves some
overhead work in Syncing up, and hence the impact to productivity.
64. After several sprints, scrum increases the transparency of which of the following?
Correct : Both
* Correct : Technical ability of team to create product increment
* Correct : Information on real progress
Feedback
Within just a few sprints, scrum increases the transparency of technical ability of the team to create product increment and information on real
progress.
65. As we know from the scrum guide, the DoD is
*** New : Correct : Initally defined per product by scrum team, but may change throughout the product development duration.
Feedback
Definition of "Done" initially defined per product by scrum team, by may change throughout the product development duration. At sprint
retrospective team may discuss changes in definition of done.
66. The scrum team has just finished the sprint planning. Which of the following statements are true? select all correct answers.
* New :Correct : After sprint planning, a sprint cannot proceed without a sprint goal
*** New :Correct : After sprint planning, a sprint can proceed withoug complete sprint backlog
Feedback
The sprint gal is an objective set for the sprint that can be met through the implementation of prodcut backlog. It provides guidance to the
development team on why it is building the increment. It is created during the sprint planning meeting. 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.
67. The.... decides the duration of the sprint.
*** New : Correct : Scrum team
Feedback
The "right" duration of sprint should balance the product owner's பசி appetite for receiving increments of value, with the ability of the
development team to supply those deliverables. THe scrum master may have some coaching duties to perform in that regards. So, the scrum
master is maybe the most important team member who decides the duration of sprint but we do not agress the that the scrum maste is the only
only one who decides the duration.
68. The increment must be in useable condition regardless of whether the product owner decides to release it. But what does the increment
mean in scrum?
Correct : The sum of the value of all increments from previous iterations intergared with the product backlog items "done" in latest sprint.
Feedback
The increment is the sum of all the product backlog items completed during a sprint and the value of the increments of all previous sprints. At
the end of a sprint, the new increment must be "Done", which means it must be in useable condition and meet the scrum team's definition of "Done".
69. As we know from the scrum guide, the role of scrum master in sprint retrospective is something like .....
Correct : Peer team member
Feedback
The scrum master ensures that the sprint retrospective is positive and productive. The scrum master teaches all to keep it within the time-box.
The scrum master participates as a peer team member in the meeting regarding the accountability over the scrum process.
70. The member of the development team can't be the scrum master
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
71. Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile framework.
Correct : True
Feedback
Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk.
72. What are best practices for the scrum team to ensure security requirements are satisfied? selec all correct answers.
* New : Correct : Add security concerns to the definition of "Done"
*** New : Correct : Have the scrum team create product backlog items for each concern.
Feedback
There are two good ways for a scrum team to ensure security concerns are satisfied: Add security concerns to the definition of "Done" have the
scrum team create product backlog items for each concern.
73. One of the senior manager wants the development team to take in a highly critical feature in the current sprint. What is the right response
to this for the development team?
** New : Correct : The Dev team must ask the senior manager to work with the product owner.
Feedback
As we know from the scrum guide, for the producct owner to succeed, the entire organization must respect his or her decisions. The product
owner's decisions are visible in the content and ordering of the product backlog. No one can force the development team to work from a different
set of requirements.
74. The scrum team discusses product backlog items at the sprint planning event. THe scrum maaster notices that the team is not
using user story format to capture the backlog items. The scrum master should
*** New : Correct : let the team decide the format of product backlog items.
Feeback
User Story is a very good method to write requirements. However, user stories are not mandatory in scrum. And only the team decides
which type of requirements they will use.
75. The scrum team is at the sprint planning meeting. The product owner has some requirements from the product backlog (In stories
format) but the team finds that the stories do not provide enough information to make a forecast. What is the next immediate step?
Correct : The development team makes it transparent that they cannot make a forcast with insufficient information and negotiates with the product
owner on refinin the stories to a ready state.
Feeback
The development team works to forecast the functinality that will be developed during the sprint. The product owner discusses the objective
that the sprint should achieve and the product backlog items that, if completed in the sprint, would achieve the sprint goal. The entire scrum
team collaborates on understanding the work of the sprint. The input to this meeting is the product backlog, the latest product increment,
projected capacity of the development team during the sprint, and past performance of the development team. 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.
76. As we know from the scrum guide, the frequency of inspection in scrum must be.....
*** New : Correct : In every event within the sprint.
*** New : Correct : Frequently, as decided by the team, but not getting in the way of work.
Feeback
Scrum users must frequently inspect scrum artifacts and progress toward a sprint goal to detect undesirable variances. Their inspection
should not be a so frequent that inspection gets in the way of the work. Inspections are most beneficial when diligently performed by
skilled inspectors at the point of work. Other than the sprint itself, which is a container for all other events, each event is scrum is
a fromal opportunity to inspect and adapt something.
77. It is impossible to organize the sprint review event without
* New: Correct : Stakeholders active participation
Feeback
A Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed.
During the sprint review, the scrum team and stakeholders collaborate about what was done in the sprint. Based on
that and any changes to the product backlog during the sprint, attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done to
optimize value. This is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and the presentation of the increment is intended to elict
feedback and foster collaboration.
78. In scrum, there is only one practice regarding testing: the increment must be tested progressively starting from unit testing, then
integration testing and then finally UAT
*** New : Correct : Not necessarily. It is up to the team to find the best approach to achive this
Feeback
It is only up to the team to find the best approach to achieve this.
79. The development team is at daily scrum event. During the event, a member of the dev team says he/she doesn't know when the task
will be completed. Choose the correct answer.
*** New : Correct : The development team should collaborate to plan alternative steps such as pairing the member with someone else to eliminate the risk
of not meeting the sprint goal.
Feeback
Development teams have the following characteristic: - They are self-organizing. No One (not even the scrum master) tells the development
Team how to trun product backlog into increments of potentially releasable functionality.
80. From the following answers choose three puproses of the sprint retrospective.
*** New : Correct : Inspect how the last sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools

Correct : During the sprint planning, the daily scrum, the sprint review and sprint retrospectives.
Feedback
adaptation occur during all scrum events.
25. Scrum should be tailored for the project
*** New :False
Unlike methodologies, the Scrum “framework” is not tailored because it’s already limited to the essentials.
Even the terms should not change let along adding or removing elements such as roles and events. However,
you need to add many practices and techniques to the framework.
26. The increment must be in useable condition regardless of whether the product owner decides to release it. But what does the
increment mean in scrum?
*** Correct : The sum of the value of all increments from previous iterations intergared with the product backlog items "done" in latest sprint.
Feedback
The increment is the sum of all the product backlog items completed during a sprint and the value of the increments of all previous sprints. At
the end of a sprint, the new increment must be "Done", which means it must be in useable condition and meet the scrum team's definition of "Done".
27. The sprint goal provides the following

31. A company x has decided to be agile and adopt scrum. What happens if they adapt the scrum terminology to their current
environment ( Environment of company x)? ( select all answers that apply)
Correct : The change might not be obvious to everyone, and some benefits may be lost.
* Correct : The change might not be obvious to everyone, and therefore very little change happen.
Correct : Management may feel less enthusiastic about the change.
Feedback
Scrum is a framework rather than a methodology. It's very lightweight and only contains the essential required aspects. Therefore, it shouldn't
be tailored like methodologies.
32. The scrum master has the authority to allow the development team to start developing without having the tasks identified and assigned.
*** New : Correct : false
Feedback
There are two problems with this statement : 1. The scrum master doesn't manage people and cannot forbid team members from doing something and cannot order
them to do certain things. S/he should always "convince" them to do the right thing by training and coaching.
2. The development team identifies the tasks and assigns them gradually, throughout the sprint. We don't do it upfront, at the beginning of the sprint.
33. From the following answers select all that can be discussed in a sprint retrospective?
*** Select only one ( 1 out of 3)
*** New : Correct : The definition of "Done"
* X The product backlog items for the next sprint
* X Refining the product backlog
Feeback
Sprint retrospective is used for planning for improvements. One of them is improving the definition of "Done"
34. In the middle of the sprint the dev team has realized that the are not able to finis all the sprint backlog items till the end of the sprint. after
some conversation, the dev team has decided to talk bout it with the product owner. what should the product owner do in the middle of the
sprint, when the development team realises they are not able to finish all the sprint backlog items?
Correct Help the developers adjust their work and meet the sprint goal
Feedback
It is ok some fo the items are not done by the end of the sprint. what we have in the sprint backlog is our best guess on what we can deliver. if
there's pressure on the developers to finish everything, they will start adding margins to their estimates, which truns into less productivity
because of parkinson's law. When the development team realizes they cannnot finish everything, they get help from the product owner to adjust
their work( tasks), to ensure they will deliver maximum value by the end of the sprint. Remember that they get help from the product owner to make
better decisions; the product owner doesn't make the adjustments directly.
35. From the following answers choose three puproses of the sprint retrospective.
**** New : Correct : Inspect how the last sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools
*** New : Correct : Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements.
*** New : Correct : Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the scrum team does its work.
Feeback
The purpose of the sprint retrospective is to:
- Inspect how the last sprint went with regards to people, relationships, procress, and tools;
- Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements;
- Creat a plan for implementing improvements to the way the scrum team does its work.
36. At the end of the sprint, product backlog items worked on during the sprint, does not meet the definition of "done". Which two of the
following are the most approriate action with the undone product backlog items?
*** New : Correct : Don not include the item in the increment at this sprint
**** New : Correct : Return them to the product becklog. The product owner must decide what to do with it.
Feedback
Tf there are undone product backlog items in sprint the team must : - Put it on the product backlog for the product owner to decide what to do with it
- Do not inclucde the item in the increment of this sprint.
37. Which two statements are true about the sprint backlog?
*** New : Correct : The sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product increment and
realizing the sprint goal
**** New : Correct : The sprint backlog makes visible all of the work that the development team identifies as necessary to meet the sprint goal.
Feedback
The sprint backalog is the set of prodcut backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product increment and realizing the
sprint goal. The sprint backlg 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 sprint backlog makes visible all the work that the development team identifies as
necessary to meet the sprint goal. To ensure continuous improvement, it includes at least one high priority process improvement identified in
the previous retrospective meeting.
38. Each member of the dev team must be cross-functional
**** Correct : No
Feedback
The development team as a whose is cross functinal, which means the sum of all developers with their different expertise. It doesn't mean that
we need to have cross-functional individuals, or "development team members".
Each indivicual is expert in one or more technical layers or aspects of the project, and the team they create is cross-functional( have
all the expertise required to get the job done, without any need for external resources).
39. The maximum duration of a/ one sprint may be more than one month
Correct : False
Feedback
Each sprint may be considered a project with no more than a one-month horizon. Like projects, sprints are used to accomplish something. Each
sprint has a goal of what is to be built, a design and flexible plan that will guide building it, the work, and the resultant product incremment.
40. Is sprint review a formal meeting?
*** New : Correct : No
Feedback
Sprint review is a scrum event, but informal meeting.

track and help remove different obstacles. But who supports the scrum master in removing obstacles? choose all correct answeres from the following
Correct
X The project Manager / PO
Correct The senior management
X The senior member of the Dev Team
Correct Development team
42. According to the scrum guide,.... lists all features, functions, requirements, enhancements, and fixes that consistute the changes
to be made to the product in future releases
Correct : The Product backlog.
43. No one attends the sprint planning but the scrum team.
Correct False
Everyone is free to "attend" the meetings, as long as they don't "participate"
44. It is ok for the items at the bottom of the product backlog to have less detail compare to those at the top.
*** New : Correct : Ture
45. The scrum master is a management role.
Correct : True
46. what are the benefits of having a solid product vision are ( Choose 3 answers)
Correct :
It gives an overall direction to the sprints
It makes it easier to inspect the incremental progress of the product
It helps the team stay focused and make better decisions.
47. All work that developers should do originate from the product backlog.
Correct : True
48. The maximum length of the sprint retrsopective is
** New Correct 3 hours for a monthly sprint. For shorter sprints, it is usually shorter.
Feedback
The sprint restsrospective occurs after the sprint review and prior to the next sprint planning.
This is at most at three-hours meeting for one-month sprints. For shorter sprints, the event is-scrum
usually shorter.
49. Who should know the most about the project performance?
Correct : The product owner
50. From the following answers choose all when there is a reason why automated builds are important.
*** New : Correct : They allow frequent validation of the unit of software being worked on, ensuring it reamains in a portentially shippable state.
*** New : Correct : They support continuous integration
*** New : Correct : The build process is clearly defined and scripted, making it easy consistent and repeatebale.
Feedback
There a 3 reasons of this : - They allow frequent validation of the unit of software being worked on, ensuring it reamains in a portentially shippable state.
- They support continuous integration - The build process is clearly defined and scripted, making it easy consistent and repeatebale.
51. One of the senior manager wants the development team to take in a highly critical feature in the current sprint. What is the right
response to this for the development team? what is the right response to this for the development team?
Correct : The dev team must ask the senior manager to work with the producgt owner.
52. The product owner does not have to be one person, and the role can be played by a committee,
Correct : False
53. Scrum mandates the use of burn-down charts.
Correct : False
54. According to the scrum guide how much time should a product owner spend with the team?
X Correct As much as is needed to do all their sprint activities
55. Some teams establish a new baseline at the start of each project. A baselined product backlog is called :
*** New : Correct : Product backlog is not baselined in scrum
Feeback
"Baseline" is a term used in traditional environments for referring to a finalized upfront plan that would be followed in the furtue, and used for
evaluating the act performance. There's no uprfront planning and no baselines in scrum.
56. From the following answers choose the best which describes the definition of "Done"?
**** New : Correct : Everything that would make the output potentially releasable.
X * Anything that stakeholders find necessary.
Feeback
The definition of "Done" helps us understand when everything is done on a product backlog item, and it can become part of the increment. The
definition of "Done" is defined by the development organization, or the development team, rather than the product owner.
57. 2 scrum teams develop one product. It was decided to create one more scrum team to develop the same product. It means, that the
productivity and efficiency of the scrum team will increase
Correct : False
58. As we know from the scrum guide, the sprint retrospective is going after the sprint review.
*** New : Correct : True
Feedback
It is correct because sprint restrospective is the last meeting (event) in sprint.
59. In scrum, the product backlog is .....
*** New : Correct : A prioritized features list, containing short descriptions of all functionality desired in the product.
Feeback
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product and is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product.
The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, including its content, availability, and ordering.
A product backlog is never completed.
60. From the following answers, select correct statements about sprint the restropective meeting.
*** New : Correct It's an opportunity for inspection and adaptation.
X It's 4 hours in a one month sprint
Feedback
All scrum ceremonies are opportunities for inspection and adaptation.
61. The product owner must invite stakeholders to the sprint retrospective.
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
The product owner invities the stakeholders to the sprint review meeting. The sprint retrospective is internal to the team. As usual, others
can attend, but they cannot participate.
62. What is the best description of a sprint backlog?
Correct : The sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product increment and
realising the sprint goal.
Feedback
Explanation of the answer is in the answer : The sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint, plus a plan for
delivering the product increment and realising the sprint goal. This is definitely the best description of the sprint backlog and as we think
(based on user answers) almost the same answers you will see at exam.
63. Which two of the following are the most important considerations in multiple scrum teams forming?
New : Correct : Having an effective mixture of skill in each team to avoid dependencies
*** New : Correct : Having proper size in each team
Feeback
All teams should be cross-functional, with optimal size 3 and 8 members. Also, it is very important for teams to avoid dependencis on each other as much as it possible.
64. How many weeks are required to release increment based on the following information:- 240 points
release backlog - 3 -week per sprint - 45 points velocity per sprint?
Correct 18 Weeks
X 12 Weeks
X 16 weeks
X 6 weeks
45 points are velocity for 1 Sprint ( 3 Weeks). It means that velocity for 1 week is 15 points (45/3 = 15)
There are 240 points to complete resele 240 points / 15 points ( 1 week) =16weeks.
But the duration of scrum is 3 weeks and the increment will be ready only after the thrid week of the
sprint. So the correct answer is 18 week.
65. Stakeholders provide feedback in the sprint review, and this feedback impacts the next sprint planning meeting
Correct : True
Feedback
The result of the sprint review is a revised product backlog that defines the probable product backlog items for the next sprint. The product
backlog may also be adjusted overall so as to meet new opportunities.
66. Sprint backlog emerges during the sprint.
Correct : True
67. Scrum team uses the information of scrum artefacts to make ongoing decisions. The soundness of these decisions depends on
New : Correct : Artefacts' transparency
Feedback
Scrum relies on transparency. Decisions to optimize value and control risk are made based on the preceived state of the artefacts. To the extent
that transparency is complete, these decisions have a sound basis. To the extent that the artefacts are incompletely transparent, these decisions
can be flawed, value may diminis and risk may increase.
68. In the middle of the sprint, the development team realized they cannot deliver the increment because of misunderstanding of the
functional requirements. What should they do?
** Correct : Collaborate with the Product owner to solve the problem
Feedback
The product owner is responsible for making all items clear and understood. If the problem wasn't solved, then there's no option other
than leaving it to go back to the product backlog at the end of the sprint, and be done later. The team is cross-functional and doesn't use external
help. We don't deliver partially complete items; everything should be done base on the definition of "done".
69. Which one of the following statements are correct: when multiple scrum teams are working on the same product ....
New : Correct There's only one product backlog for all of them
Feedback
There's only one product backlog for all of them. "One" Project and "One" product has only "one" Product Backlog and "One" Product Owner.
Otherwise, prioritization and accountability would be difficult.
70. The scrum team is planning to start the first sprint. The product backlog item "ready" for selection in a sprint planning meeting when.....
**** New : Correct : It can be "done" within one sprint.
Feedback
Product backlog items that will occupy the development team for the upcoming sprint are
refined so that any one item can reasonably be "Done" within the sprint time-box. Product backlog items that can be "Done" by the development team within one
sprint are deemed "Ready" for selection in a sprint planning. Product backlog items usually acquire this degreee of transparency through the above described
refining activities.
71. The Product Owner forecasts the completion date by using this method.
*** New : Correct By any method s/he finds appropriate.
Feedback
Using a trend line in the burn-down chart can help (if the team is suing the chart), as well as simple or complex formulas
such as the one mentioned above. But all fo these are just guides for the product owner and s/he should conside all factors
and come up with a reliable completion date forecast.
72. Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile framework.
*** Correct : True”
73. After some sprint events, the scrum master realized that the product owner has difficulties with product backlog managing. WHat is the
best action from the SM in response to the PO?
**** New : Correct : Help the Product owner order the items
Feedback
The scrum master is supposed to know the tools and techniques and to help everyone in that regard. However, it's only about helping, training,
coaching, and consulting, rather than taking over.
74. In the middle of the sprint, the scrum team realized they can't complete the sprint backlog. Who would try to resolve this case?
Correct : the development team and the product owner.
75. The develeopment team is free to change its engineering practies or methods to develop the product whenever they want.
Correct : True
76. The team is in the middle of the sprint. One of the stakeholder wants a new requirement to be added in the current sprint. waht
should the development team do?
Correct : Ask the product owner to work with the customer
77. From the following answers what is the best description of the job of a product owner? he or she....
Correct : Working with stakeholders to identify the most important requirements in order to maximize value.
Feedback
All items are less or more applicable, but remember that the main responsibility of the product owner is to maximize value, and "working with stakeholder to
identify the most important requirements" is the closest answer to "increasing value".
78. When do development team members become the total (exclusive) owner of a sprint backlog iteam?
New : Correct : Newver, all sprint backlog items are "Owned" bu the entire development
Team, even though each one may be done by an individual development.
79. The Product owern and scrum master may be the part of the development team?
Correct : True
80. The product owner can delegate to the development team the expressig of product backlog items.
*** New : Correct True
Feedback
From the scrum guide, the product owner is the sole person responsible for managing the product backlog.
PRoduct backlog management includes :
* Clearly expressing product backlog items;
The product owner may do the above work, or have the development team do it. However, the product owner remains accountable.

Scrum Master mock exam 2nd Time - 80 randomly selected questions out of 3210
Dt:11092020
2. How should developers deal with non-functional features ?
*** New : Correct : Incorporate them into every Increment
Non-functional features are usually part of the Definition of Done and should be considered for every Product Backlog item
and every Increment. Sometime, some non-functional features that address a very particular part of the software can be added as separate items in the Product Backlog.All Sprints are the same. There’s no Sprint zero, hardening Sprint, release Sprint, integration Sprint, etc
7. The development team own each sprint backlogs
*** New : Correct : False
9. It's up to the development team to decide which scrum events are needed during the sprint
**** New : Correct : False
All Scrum events are necessary; they should never be removed.
13. Scrum does not scale to large teams
**** New : Correct : False
Feedback
Each scrum team should have a maximum of 9 members (optimmal). When more developers are required, multiple teams can work on the same
product and it will be called scaled scrum. The developers are self-organized and decide how to form the teams.
14. When multiple scrum teams are working on the same product, should their sprint length be the same?
*** New : Correct : No
Feedback
It is possible for the teams in a scaled scrum to have different sprint length, so long as the shorter length are evenly divisible into the longest one.
Aligning the sprint boundaries across the scaled scrum may help teams to take attention on delivering an integrated increments. Some of the teams
Can make partial progress in their own sprint cycles, but the entire scaled scrum must deliver a working increment so that the organization
can see whether it is making progress toward its delivery goal.
17. Which of the following is not allowed is scrum?
* Correct : Hardening sprints.
Feedback
It is possible to harden sprint, but it will not be scrum. scrum is free and offered in this guide. Scrum's roles, evernts, artifacts and rules are immutable
and although implementing only parts of scrum is possible, the result is not scrum. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as container for other
techniques, methodologies, and practices.
19. As we know, the sprint retrospective Occours after the sprint review and prior to the next sprint planning.
What are the puproses of the sprint Retrospective? (Select all that apply):
*** Correct Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools
Correct Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements
Correct Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work
24. Choose 2 correct statements about the sprint backlog item that was not finished by the end of the sprint?
**** New : Correct : It won't be demonstrated at the sprint review meeting.
* Correct : It will be moved back to the product backlog.
X *** It will be completed in the next sprint.
Feedback
ONly the 100% complete items are demonstrated, to avoid confusion. When something is not complete, it will be move back to the product
backlog. If it's still on the top of the Product Backlog, development will continue in the next sprint.
26. During the sprint .....(continue correct statement )
**** New : Correct : The scope may be re-negotiated as more is learned
Feedback
During the sprint :No changes are made that would endanger the sprint goal; quality goals do not decrease; the scope may be clarified abd re-negotiated
between the product owner and development team as more is learned.
27. The Product owner is accountable for the result and therefore should have the final say over the DoD
**** New : Correct : False
Feedback
Development teams deliver an increment of product functionality every sprint. This increment is usable, so a product owner may choose to
immediately release it. if the definition of "Done" for an increament is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development
organization, all scrum teams must follow it as a minimum.
41. A key measure of success for the Product owner is velocity.
Correct : False
Feeback
A key measure of success for the Product owner is < High Value Product >
47. The sprint retrospective is
* Correct : intended to promote continuous process improvements.
Feedback
The sprint retrospective is an opportunity for the scrum team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next sprint.
48. The development team realized that the sprint goal becomes objolete and trying to convince the product ownere that the sprint
should be cancelled. What's the right response from the scrum master?
*** New : Correct : The scrum master should stop this because the development team does not have the authority to <<< influence sprint canellation >>>.
Feedback
Only the product owner has the authority to cancel a sprint, and the final decision belogns to her/him. Howerver, this decision can be influenced by
the customer (incl.stakeholders) or / and developers or/ and scrum master.
50. The scrum team has just finished the sprint planning How complete should the sprint backlog be at this stage?
**** New : Correct : Complete enough to show the work for the next few days and to begin the work.
51. One of the internal stakeholder wants to interract with the development team. What are the best ways to make it? select all that apply.
Correct : Via the product owner
**** Correct : At the sprint review
X * At the sprint Planning
X * At the daily scrums
Feedback
Direct interactions with the customer are limited to the sprint review, or via the product owner. However, this doesn't mean that it is prohibited to
meet with stakeholder in another (non-scrum) events such as backlog refinement, etc.
58. As we know from the scrum guide, the frequency of inspection in scrum must be.....
**** New : Correct : In every event within the sprint.
*** New : Correct : Frequently, as decided by the team, but not getting in the way of work.
Feeback
Scrum users must frequently inspect scrum artifacts and progress toward a sprint goal to detect undesirable variances. Their inspection
should not be a so frequent that inspection gets in the way of the work. Inspections are most beneficial when diligently performed by
skilled inspectors at the point of work. Other than the sprint itself, which is a container for all other events, each event is scrum is
a fromal opportunity to inspect and adapt something.
59. Which of the following is true about the sprint review according to the scrum guide? (choose 2 answers)
** New : Correct : It is 4 hours in one month sprint.
** New : Correct : Stakeholders should attend
Feedback
“A Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed. During the sprint review, the
scrum team and stakeholders collaborate on what was done in the sprint. Based on that and any changes to the product backlog during the sprint,
attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done in order to optimize value. This is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and
the presentation of the increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration. This is at most a four-hour meeting for one-month sprints.
For shorter sprints, the event is usually shorter. The scrum master ensures that the event takes place and that attendees understand its purpose.
The scrum master teaches everyone involved to keep it within the time-box.
60. Ths scrum Team is ready to realese a product. From the following answers choose 2 best of how the success of the product may be evaluated.
**** New : Correct : By improving KPIs through frequent releases
New : Correct : By increaseing the satisfaction of the customer.
* X By delivering any increment every sprint.
Feeback
Customer and end-user satisfaction is important. IT's not an abstract measure like lines of code or velocity. There can be KPIs for
measuring the value of the releases, and when improved, will show our success. Increased velocity is desired, by it's not directly connected to
value and can be misleading. That's the same with production cost. It's also mandatory to deliver an Increment every sprint.
62. How can we ensure that the non-functional or so-called performance requirements are addressed in the solution ? (Choose 2 answers)
** New : Correct Add them to the definition of “Done”
**** New : Correct Add them as items to the Product Backlog
* X Use hardening sprints to improve performance
Feeback
Performance, like security, scalability and maintainability is a non-functional feature. Non-functional features are normally added to the
definition of “Done” because they apply to all functional features. For some non-functional features, such as performance, it’s possible to
create non-technical, independent items in the Product Backlog. This is usually done when we have to make an improvement in the previously
done features.
71. Which of the following does not describe scrum?
*** New : Correct : A Software development process
77. From the foloowing answers choose correct one. Which of the foloowing helps the product owner avoid waste in the project?
**** New : Correct : Don't add much detail to the product backlog items until they move to the top of the backlog.
Feedback
There's no need to spend too much time on the items at the bottom of the product backlog. They can be broken down into smaller items and
have more details when they move to the top of the backlog.
78. In the middle of the sprint, the development team decides to divide the sprint backlog and assign ownership of every sprint backlog item
to seperate individuals in the team. What should be the response of the scrum master?
*** New :Correct : He or she should coach the team to collectively take ownership of the sprint backlog items even though an individual works on a specific team.
Feedback
Scrum recognize no titels for development team members, regardless of the work being performed by the person; scrum recognize no sub-teams in the
development team, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and,
individual development team members may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belogns to the development team as a whole.

to seperate individuals in the team. What should be the response of the scrum master?
*** New : Correct : He or she should coach the team to collectively take ownership of the sprint backlog items even though an individual works on a specific team.
Feedback
Scrum recognize no titels for development team members, regardless of the work being performed by the person; scrum recognize no sub-teams in the
development team, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and,
individual development team members may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belogns to the development team as a whole.
5. Ths scrum Team is ready to realese a product. From the following answers choose 2 best of how the success of the product may be evaluated.
*** New : Correct : By improving KPIs through frequent releases
*** New : Correct : By increaseing the satisfaction of the customer.
X **** By delivering any increment every sprint.
Feeback
Customer and end-user satisfaction is important. IT's not an abstract measure like lines of code or velocity. There can be KPIs for
measuring the value of the releases, and when improved, will show our success. Increased velocity is desired, by it's not directly connected to
value and can be misleading. That's the same with production cost. It's also mandatory to deliver an Increment every sprint.
6. When multiple scrum teams are working on the same product, should their sprint length be the same?
*** New : Correct : No
Feedback
It is possible for the teams in a scaled scrum to have different sprint length, so long as the shorter length are evenly divisible into the longest one.
Aligning the sprint boundaries across the scaled scrum may help teams to take attention on delivering an integrated increments. Some of the teams
Can make partial progress in their own sprint cycles, but the entire scaled scrum must deliver a working increment so that the organization
can see whether it is making progress toward its delivery goal.
7. From the following answers select all that can be discussed in a sprint retrospective?
Select only one
**** New : Correct : The definition of "Done"
*** X The product backlog items for the next sprint
* X Refining the product backlog
Feeback
Sprint retrospective is used for planning for improvements. One of them is improving the definition of "Done"
12. From the following answers, choose two true statements about the product owner
New : Correct : The product owner is expressing product backlog items
**** New : Correct : The Product owner facilitating scrum events as requested or needed
X *** The product owner ensuring the development team understands items in the product backlog to the level needed.
17. There are many type of ordering the product backlog. What is the benefit of using value points in ordering the Product backlog?
**** New : Correct : It makes the ordering more transparent
Feedback
Value ponts are relative units for value assigned to the Product backlog items it increase transparency (everyone understand why) when applied correctly.
18. Each member of the Dev Team must be cross-functional
**** New : Correct : No
Feedback
The development team as a whose is cross functinal, which means the sum of all developers with their different expertise. It doesn't mean that
we need to have cross-functional individuals, or "development team members".
Each individual is expert in one or more technical layers or aspects of the project, and the team they create is cross-functional( have
all the expertise required to get the job done, without any need for external resources).
19. The scrum Master has the authority to allow the development team to start developing without having the tasks identified and assigned.
**** New : Correct : false
Feedback
There are two problems with this statement :
1. The scrum master doesn't manage people and cannot forbid team members from doing something and cannot order
them to do certain things. S/he should always "convince" them to do the right thing by training and coaching.
2. The development team identifies the tasks and assigns them gradually, throughout the sprint.
We don't do it upfront, at the beginning of the sprint.
20. According to the scrum guide, Which statement is NOT true about the scrum?
**** New : Correct : Desinged for static requirements
< NOT TRUE>
Feedback
A product backlog is never complete. The earliest development of it lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements. The product
backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. the Product backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to
identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. If a product exists, its product backlog also exists. Due to this
requirements cannot static.
22. This agile planning artefact must be updated at least once semi-annually
**** New : Correct : Product Roadmap
Feedback
Product roadmap should be updated at least once semi-annually
23. Product backlog management is the process by which this role in scrum ( often in collobaration with others) adds, adjusts, refines, and prioritizes
backlog items within the product backlog to make sure the most valueable product is shipped to customers
*** New : Correct The Product Owner
Feedback
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to
the product.
The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, including its content, availability, and ordering.
25. The product owner is alos the owner and the creator of the definition of "Done".
*** New : Correct : False
Feedback
Development team deliver an increment of product functionality every sprint. This increment is usable, so a product owner may choose to immediately
release it. If the definition of "Done" for a an increment is part of the convention,
standards or guidelines of the development organization, all scrum teams must follow it as a minimum.
If "done" for an increment is not convention of the development organization, the development team of scrum must define a definition of
"Done" Oppropriate fot the Product. If there are multiple scrum Teams working on the system or Product release, the development teams on all
the scrum teams mus mutually define the definition of "Done".
27. One of the internal stakeholder wants to interract with the development team. What are the best ways to make it? select all that apply.
X * At the sprint Planning
Correct : Via the product owner
*** New : Correct : At the sprint review
X * At the daily scrums
Feedback
Direct interactions with the customer are limited to the sprint review, or via the product owner. However, this doesn't mean that it is prohibited to meet with stakeholder in another (non-scrum) events such as backlog refinement, etc.
28. Our velocity was 250 at the end of the 6th Sprint. It has become 275 at the end of the 11th Sprint. Therefore, we’re creating more value now, compared to the past.
*** New : Correct : False
31. The time to integrate the solution is ....
*** New : Correct : During the sprint
X * At the end of the sprint cycle
Feedback
The solution may be added at any time during the sprint. Integration is part of the development of each items, and a step in a normal definition of "Done". Agile projects
use continuous integration to make the output potentially releasable.
34. A definition of done drives the quality of work and is used to assess when an item has been completed. From the following answers
choose incorrect (the least accurate) statement about the definition of done.
**** New : Correct : The product owner creates it. ( It is created by Dev Team>
Feedback
* Definition of Done is created by the <Development Team>
45. As we know from the scrum guide, the Sprint is a time-box of one month or less. And ther are many advantage. But from the following
answers, which one is not improved by using time-boxed sprints?
*** New : Correct : Technical Debt < Not improved in time-boxed sprints >
Feedback
Technical Debt is any shortcoming in the solution that makes it less "good enough", and might create problems in future. Refactoring is a
common way of reducing technical debt. Timeboxing, however, doesn't help with technical debt. Timeboxing the sprints forces everyone to focus
on the most improtant parts of the work(prioritization). It aslo ensures there will be frequent increments which demonstrate progress. When
working inside timeboxes, it's better to limit work-in-progress, and get items done before going to the next ones. Otherwise, chaces whould be
high that the team ends up with many in-progress items, and not enough "Done" items at the end of the sprint.
50. As described by Steve McConnel, The Cone of Uncertainty shows that (in scrum terminology)
*** New : Correct : The uncertainty is usually highest in the first few Sprints.
Feedback
The "Cone of Uncertainty" is about the fact that uncertainty is highest at the beginning of the project, and reduced as we progress.
This uncertainty can be about the duration, requirements, etc.,
51. Which of the following is correct about product backlog refinement?
**** New: Correct : It shouldn't consume more that 10% of the capacity of the development team.
Feedback
The scrum team decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the development
team. However, product backlog itm=ems can be updated at any time by the product owner or at the product owner's discretion (விவேகம்).
<<<<< Dont make silly mistakes; Note becareful in reading till the end of the sentense and make sure you are selecting the right answers >>>>>
58. Time can be allocated between the two sprints for integration.
*** New : Correct : False
59. The product backlog is baselined at the beginning of the project.
or
The product backlog is baselined at the start of the project and not changed for at least first two sprints
*** New : Correct : Incorrect / False
Feedback
Product backlog cannot be baselined in scrum

Feedback
All scrum ceremonies are opportunities for inspection and adaptation.
70. One of the point in the definition of "Done" of the scrum team is : "all the code is to be reviewed and approved by ICSO". ICSO is a third party
subject matter expert outside the scrum team. from the following answers choose the best one, appropriated for this text.
*** New : Correct : The definition of "done" is less effective, because it contains conditions that are not completely under the infulence of the scrum team.
Feedback
The activities required to complete the product backlog items to a "done" state should be completely within the ownership and influence of the scrum team.
71. When do development Team members become the the total(exclusive) owner of a Sprint Backlog item?
