Question 22

Steven is a Scrum Master of a Scrum Team that is new to Scrum. At the halfway point of the Sprint, the Product Owner comes to Steven telling him that he is concerned the Development Team will not be able to complete the entire Sprint Backlog by the end of the Sprint.
What should Steven do in this situation?

A. Motivate the Development Team to meet their commitment to the Product Owner.
B. Coach the Product Owner that with complex software development, you cannot promise the entire scope that was forecast during Sprint Plannin
C. As more is learned during the Sprint, work may emerge thataffects the Sprint Backlog.
D. Advise the Product Owner that the Development Team owns the Sprint Backlog and it is up to them to meet their commitment
E. No one tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality.
F. Add more people to the Development Team to meet the Product Owner’s expectations.

Correct Answer:B
Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. The Sprint Backlog is a forecast by the Development Team about what functionality will be in the next Increment and the work needed to deliver that functionality into a ‘Done’ Increment. The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal.
Why C is incorrect:
a) The Dev Team does not commit to finishing all items in the Sprint Backlog. Committing to completing all items would be fixed scope and fixed time leaving no room to adapt. They commit to the Sprint Goal and doing the right thing.
b) It’s also incorrect for the PO to focus on completing the entire Sprint Backlog. Finishing everything should not be his main focus. Having a shippable increment that meets the Sprint Goal is more important than trying to finish everything. The advice in option C is equivalent to “Don’t worry, they’ll get everything done.” but because of the complex domain, you cannot guarantee everything will get done.

Question 23

How much work must a Development Team do to a Product Backlog item it selects for a Sprint?

A. An equal amount of time on analysis, design, programming, testing and documentation.
B. As much as it has informed the Product Owner will be done for every Product Backlog item it selects in conformance with the definition of “Done”.
C. All development work and at least some testing.
D. As much as it can fit into the Sprin
E. Any remaining work will be moved to a subsequent Sprint.

Correct Answer:B

Question 24

As a Scrum Master, you observe that the Product Owner is not collaborating with the Development Team effectively.
What action would you take?

A. Send the Product Owner to training.
B. Nominate a proxy Product Owner.
C. Act as the go-between.
D. Coach the Product Owner.

Correct Answer:D
A Scrum Master coaches those inside and outside the team on the values of Scrum and incremental delivery.

Question 25

What is a Product Owner responsibility that he/she might delegate?

A. Writing User Stories
B. Ordering the Product Backlog
C. Representing stakeholders to the Scrum team
D. Attending the Sprint Review

Correct Answer:B
The Development Team may need to order the Product Backlog as they would know the most about technical limitations, risks, or dependencies between Product Backlog Items. As User Stories is a localized practice, Scrum does not govern it or dictate the practice. How the team describes the items is up to them as long as it has enough information to be transparent and understood.
