What happens when a Sprint is cancelled? Select three.
When a Sprint is cancelled, any completed and "Done" Product Backlog items are reviewed. If part of the work is potentially releasable, the Product Owner typically accepts it. All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put back on the Product Backlog.
YES or NO: Could the Sprint Planning be finished if only work planned for the first days of the Sprint is decomposed to units of one day or less?
YES: if the remaining work is also estimated, maybe in bigger units
What are the three main qualities the team model in Scrum is designed to optimize?
flexibility, creativity, and productivity.
How does Definition of "Done" help the Scrum Team? (3)
-Assess when work is complete on the product Increment -Guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during a Sprint Planning Ensures artifact transparency
What comprises Scrum (select four)?
-roles -events -artifacts -rules.
What are the two essential features a Scrum Team should possess? 1: It should choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team 2: It should be flexible enough to complete all the work planned for the Sprint even if some team members are on vacation 3: It should use tools, processes and techniques approved by the Organization 4: It should have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team

A: Make sure the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint includes at least one high priority process improvement. B: Make sure the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint includes all the improvements.

Who is responsible for monitoring progress toward high-level goals?
PRODUCT OWNER: Product owner tracks total work remaining at least every Sprint Review.
