In the Sprint planning meeting, the Product Owner and the Development Team were unable to reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Development Team couldn't figure out how many Product Backlog items it could forecast for the upcoming Sprint. They were able to agree on a Sprint Goal, However. Which of the following two actions should the Scrum master support?(Choose Two)
1. (Forecast 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.)

Sprint Retrospective
a development team also their product owner to re-order the product backlog. The team is waiting for an external supplier to deliver a specific software component. Without that component there won't be enough work in the next Sprint to occupy the full team. The Product Owner asks the Scrum Master for help. What would be good advice to give the product Owner?
Tell the product Owner that his primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the product backlog

Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity pf 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:
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

The event can take no more than a maximum amount of time
The Sprint review is mainly an inspect and adapt opportunity for which group?
The scrum Team and stakeholders
You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using scum. In the initial project there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e. one for the front-end , one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services. This resembles what is known as component teams. But you have read that it's a good idea to have a team organized by feature. What are the advantages of keeping component teams while starting Scrum?
There's less initial disruption than organizing into new teams. As they Strat ,they will discover what works best, and how to potentially re-organize towards this.
Which outcome is expected as Scrum Teams mature?
They will improve their definition of "Done" to include more stringent criteria.
What is the role of management in Scrum?
To facilitate the Scrum Teams with insights and resources that help them improve.
What is the purpose of the Sprint Review?
To inspect the product increment with the stakeholders and collect feedback on next steps.
A properly functioning Scrum Team will have at least one release Sprint and may well have several
True
Multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product or system all select work from the same Product Backlog.
True
Scrum master is essentially the same thing as a traditional PM (Project Manager)
True
The purpose of a sprint is to produce a done increment of product
True
To get started in terms of what to build, Scrum requires no more than a Product Owner with enough ideas for a first Sprint, a Development Team to implement those ideas and a Scrum Master to help guide the process.
True
Which answer best describes the topics covered in Sprint Planning?
What can be done and how to do it
The Product Owner must release each increment to production
When it makes sense
When is a Sprint over?
When the time-box expires.

Whoever the Development Team decides should start.
If burn down charts are used to visualize progress, what do they track?
Work remaining across time
When many Scrum teams are working on the same product, should all their increments be integrated every Sprint?
Yes, otherwise the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done
During a Sprint, when is new work or further decomposition of work added to the Sprint Backlog?
as soon as possible after they are identified
