PSM I Quiz 7

Who is responsible for crafting the Sprint Goal at the Sprint Planning?

After the Development Team forecasts the Product Backlog items it will deliver in the Sprint, the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal.

Who is responsible for tracking the total work remaining in the Sprint Backlog to project the likelihood of achieving the Sprint Goal?

At any point in time in a Sprint, the total work remaining in the Sprint Backlog can be summed. The Development Team tracks this total work remaining at least for every Daily Scrum to project the likelihood of achieving the Sprint Goal. By tracking the remaining work throughout the Sprint, the Development Team can manage its progress.

The Daily Scrum time-box depends on the size of the Development team.

False. The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team of any size.

What is the Sprint Backlog?

The Product Backlog items selected for this Sprint plus the plan for delivering them. The Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal.

It is a good practice to have at least two Product Owners on big projects.

The Product Owner is one person, not a committee, but the Product Owner may represent the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog.

The Scrum Master does the following regarding the Daily Scrum (select all applicable variants):

The Scrum Master Ensures that the Development Team has the meeting, but the Development Team is responsible for conducting the Daily Scrum. Teaches the Development Team to keep the Daily Scrum within the 15-minute time-box. If others are present at the Daily Scrum, ensures that they do not disrupt the meeting.

How does the Scrum Master serve the Development Team? Select the three most appropriate answers.

The Scrum Master serves the Development Team in several ways, including: Coaching the Development Team in self-organization and cross-functionality; Helping the Development Team to create high-value products; Removing impediments to the Development Team's progress; Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed; and, Coaching the Development Team in organizational environments in which Scrum is not yet fully adopted and understood.

How does the Scrum Master help the Product Owner? Select the three most appropriate answers.

The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including: Ensuring that goals, scope, and product domain are understood by everyone on the Scrum Team as well as possible; Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog management; Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items; Understanding product planning in an empirical environment; Ensuring the Product Owner knows how to arrange the Product Backlog to maximize value; Understanding and practicing agility; and, Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed.

What are the Scrum Artifacts? Select all applicable items.

The Scrum artifacts are Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog and Increment.

What are the three main qualities the team model in Scrum is designed to optimize?

The team model in Scrum is designed to optimize flexibility, creativity, and productivity.

Definition of Done can be reviewed and adapted during each Sprint Retrospective. True or False?

True. During each Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Team plans ways to increase product quality by improving work processes or adapting the definition of "Done", if appropriate and not in conflict with product or organizational standards.

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. The Scrum Guide requires only the work planned for the first days of the Sprint is decomposed by the end of the Sprint Planning, often to units of one day or less. However, the Development Team should be able to explain to the Product Owner and Scrum Master how it intends to work as a self-organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment.

What are Product Backlog features? Select three.

A Product Backlog is never complete. The earliest development of it only lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements. The Product Backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.

What is the result of the Sprint Review?

A revised Product Backlog that defines the probable Product Backlog items for the next Sprint. The result of the Sprint Review is a revised Product Backlog that defines the probable Product Backlog items for the next Sprint. The Product Backlog may also be adjusted overall to meet new opportunities.

Who participates in the Sprint Review? Select all applicable variants.

During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders collaborate about what was done in the Sprint. Based on that and any changes to the Product Backlog during the Sprint, attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done to optimize value.The Product Owner, The Development Team, The Scrum Master, and The Key Stakeholders

The Sprint Backlog is created at the Sprint Planning. It is prohibited to add new work into the Sprint Backlog later by the Development Team.

False. 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. As new work is required, the Development Team adds it to the Sprint Backlog.

What belongs solely to the Development Team?

Only the Development Team can change its Sprint Backlog during a Sprint. The Sprint Backlog is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Development Team plans to accomplish during the Sprint, and it belongs solely to the Development Team.

What part of the capacity of the Development Team does Product Backlog refinement usually consume?

Product Backlog refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team.

What are the two essential features a Scrum Team should possess?

Scrum Teams are self-organizing and cross-functional. Self-organizing teams choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. Cross-functional teams have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team. It should have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team.
