Successful use of Scrum depends on how well people behave and act in ways that reflect the Scrum values. What can the value of openness affect?
Correct Answer:F
The Scrum Team and its stakeholders agree to be open about all the work and the challenges with performing the work.
If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, all of the Scrum Teams must mutually define a Definition of Ready (DoR). The DoR is a checklist that the Product Owner must fulfill before a Product Backlog item can be presented at the Sprint Planning. This protects the Development Team from interruptions and disruptions during the Sprint.
Correct Answer:B
Product Backlog items should be clear enough and have enough information for the Product Owner and Development to understand the work that needs to be done and to create a forecast of Product Backlog items to implement the Sprint Goal. Nothing stops the flow of Sprints, for example, we do not delay the Sprint because the items are not ready. In such cases, the “unready” items would be selected for the Sprint anyway and refined during the Sprint.
In the case that the Product Backlog items are not clear enough, the Development Team forecasts the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, start the Sprint and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint. At the end of the Sprint, the Scrum Team can discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.
Multiple Scrum Teams working from the same Product Backlog must have the same Sprint start dates.
Correct Answer:B
Multiple Scrum Teams could have the same Sprint start dates but it is not mandatory as the importance is on being able to integrate their shippable Increments at the end of their Sprints.
What should a Development Team do if it realizes it has selected too much work after starting the Sprint?
Correct Answer:B
The Sprint Backlog is a living artifact that evolves and changes as more is learned or discovered.
Paul, a Product Owner of one of the Scrum Teams, has been attending the Daily Scrum. During the Daily Scrum, the Development Team members have been reporting their daily work to Paul so that he is aware of their Sprint progress and what each member is working on.
What is the best action for the Scrum Master to take?
Correct Answer:B
Because the Development Team is the ones doing the work, they are best suited to inspect and adapt the progress toward the Sprint Goal. At minimum, this is done every 24 hours through the Daily Scrum. It is the Scrum Master’s responsibility to teach the Scrum Team the value and objective of each Scrum event in order for them to optimize the benefits of each event. Because the Daily Scrum is owned by the Development Team, it is up to them on how they should run it but the Scrum Master can provide guidance to ensure it adheres to the Scrum guidelines.
