Estimates are made by the Product Owner, but are best checked with the Development Team

B

When is implementation of a Product Backlog item considered complete? A. At the end of the Sprint. B. When the item has no work remaining in order to be potentially released. C.

BC

Select two ways in which technical debt impacts transparency. (Choose two.) A. When calculated and estimated, the total amount of technical debt shows exactly how long until the Product Owner can release the Increment. B. It leads to false assumptions about the current state of the system, specifically of an Increment being releasable at the end of a Sprint. C. As development progresses and code is added, the system becomes more difficult to stabilize, which results in future work being slowed down in unpredictable ways. D.

CDF

User documentation is part of your definition of "Done". However, there aren't enough technical writers for all teams. Your Development Team doesn't have a technical writer. What should you do? A.

AD

Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach. A good way to continue is: A. The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as "Done" as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, so it doesn't mess up the Product Backlog. B. Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made. C. The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. The produced software is not usable. As the rules of Scrum have not been respected, it is the Scrum Master's duty to assess whether repair is possible, or a restart with a more reliable team. If not, the Scrum Master should cancel the project. D. The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which the remaining work can be done

A

Which of the following best describes an increment of working software? A. A decomposition of all Product Backlog items into tasks for future Sprint Backlog lists. B. Additional features in a usable state that complement those delivered in previous iterations. C. A new user interface design for functionality delivered in previous iterations. D. An automated test suite to verify functionality delivered in previous iterations. E. UML diagrams that describe how to deliver functionality in future iterations.

B

Currently, your Development Teams are organized to address a single layer only (for example, front end, middle tier, back end, and interfaces). What are three things to consider when deciding to move away from such component teams toward feature teams? (Choose three.) A. You cannot do Scrum without feature teams. B. Productivity may suffer when making this kind of move. C. Getting support from the business side first helps. D. Feature teams have less communication overhead. E. With feature teams, it is easier to calculate the productivity per team.

Put it on the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to decide what to do with it. C. Review the item, add the "Done" part of the estimate to the velocity and create a Story for the remaining work. D. Do not include the item in the Increment this Sprint.
