D) The velocity at which new functionality can be created is reduced when you have technical debt.
77) Resposta: A e D -> Quando abrimos mão da qualidade pela velocidade, o resultado é um grande número de erros (débitos técnicos). Isso diminui a velocidade do time e com isso aumenta o custo do projeto.
78) How important is it for a Product Owner to order Product Backlog items by value points? A) Using value points is the ultimate way for a Product Owner to predict the value that the product will provide. B) It is a good practice, keeping in mind that market reception is the best measure of value. C) Calculating value points is an upfront approach that conflicts with the empiricism of Scrum, and is therefore not acceptable.
78) Resposta: B -> O Backlog do produto é sempre ordenado por valor para o negócio, ele precisa estar alinhado com as demandas do mercado e focado no ROI (Retorno sobre o investimento).

A Dev. Team has technical specialists in addition to Developers. They perform their work when the Sprint Backlog needs their special skills, but they are idle others: A) Continue to have the specialist deliver fully-integrated Increments. Gradually facilitate the team to organize their work to fully leverage these special skills. If required, they can enhance everyone's domain of expertise, so that everyone is productive as a team without idle time. B) Let the PM coordinate their staffing needs and plan partial allocations to avoid idle time C) Defer and accumulate the special work to later Sprints until it needs full-time specialists. Add them to the team for that time frame alone. Prior to that, deliver the Increment with subbing.

Dev. Teams working for the same product should have one common Product Backlog d) The Dev. Team finalized all estimates
Answer: B Because the P.O. strives to maximize the collective value of the Product and the Dev. Team's work To achieve that, they can follow any appropriate logic for ordering. It does not always need to be the individ. business value.
When more Scrum Teams are added to a project that works on one single product, the productivity of the original Scrum Teams most likely will increase a) TRUE b) FALSE
Answer: B FALSE Each Scrum Team needs to mutually define their definition of done so their work will be potentially releasable. That involves some overhead work in syncing up, and hence the impact to productivity.
The difference between the Product Burn-down Chart and the Sprint Burn-down Chart is A) In the product, the number of product backlog items is shown on the y-axis.

A discussion of what to do next is an additional even in the Sprint Review. A) False B) True, and the scope of the next Sprint is also finalized here C) True, and it may capture probable Backlog Items for the next Sprint, but the scope of the next Sprint is deferred until Sprint Planning
Answer: C Every Scrum event is an opportunity for inspection and adaptation. In the Sprint Review, inspecting the product Increment provides insights and clarity. This newly found knowledge is used to 'adapt the next steps,' i.e., find out what to do next.
Select the best answer. Scrum is a newer way of doing things to address complex problems. It is a new way because a) It offers new terminology for traditional practice b) It is easier to master than the traditional way c) It increases the opportunity to control risk and optimize the predictability of progress d) It is closely associated with emerging technologies
Answer: C Scrum brings in new terminology, but it is not the primary difference. It is easy to learn, but difficult to master. There is incidental association of a lot of emerging technologies executed in Scrum, but that is not the reason for its identity as a new way. Scrum does not guarantee success, but it increases the likelihood of success by controlling the risk and optimizing predictability.
In the Sprint Review, the presentation of the product Increment to stakeholders is A) To get the Sprint completion sign-off B) To provide the status of the project C) To elicit feedback
Answer: C The Sprint Review is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and the presentation of the Increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration.
In the middle of a Sprint, a Dev. Team identifies a defect. Initially, they were not sure about the cause of the defect, and hence they involved the P.O. to discuss. After discussing, both the P.O. and the Dev. Team agreed that the defect is indeed a clear gap in the feature being developed in their Sprint and not a new requirement. The defect should be A) Deferred to the Product Backlog since it is a new req. B) Deferred since this is not a critical defect C) Fixed in the current Sprint.
Answer: C The defect is from the work performed in the current Sprint.
In the middle of the Sprint, a Dev. Team finds that they have more room for additional work. They decide to change the Sprint Backlog by adding a few more Backlog Items from the Product Backlog. Who should be present to decide the additional work and accordingly modify the Sprint Backlog? A) Senior members of the Dev. Team B) Scrum Master C) Dev. Team D) P.O. E) Scrum Team
Answer: C&D Only the Dev. Team can make changes to the Sprint Backlog and it is the P.O.'s job to optimize the value of their work and they are needed to explain the content of the Product Backlog and give mutual consent on the next work.
In the first few Sprints, the Dev. Team is expected to focus on A) Setting up the basic infrastructure needed for subsequent Sprint work B) Reviewing and base-lining the project plan so the changes can be controlled C) Iteratively refining the requirements and obtaining sign-off from the P.O. D) Delivering a usable and potentially releasable produce Increment E) All of the above
Answer: D The Dev. Team must try to deliver at least one piece of functionality NOT Only in the first few Sprints but in every single Sprint.

When can the Product Backlog be updated?
At any time when done by the Product Owner or at the Product Owner's discretion.
The process of regular inspection and adaptation employs knowledgeable and skilled inspectors. What are two ways in which the Product Owner takes the lead in the inspection process?
At the Sprint Review the Product Owner shares the current state of Product Backlog, which, combined with the inspection of the Increment, leads to an updated Product Backlog. The Product Owner invites stakeholders to the Sprint Review to learn how the current state of the marketplace influences what is the most valuable thing to do next. Scrum users must frequently inspect Scrum artifacts and progress to detect undesirable variances. The primary tool for the Product Owner to uphold transparency is the Product Backlog. Product Backlog is a living artifact that is actively maintained and updated to reflect reality. At the Sprint Review, attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done to optimize value, which is processed into an updated Product Backlog

Choose 3 activities which may be the responsibilities of the Product Owner: - Break down epic user stories into smaller ones - Create user stories - Prioritize backlog - Design software - Facilitate meetings - Provide estimates - Make technical decisions
Break down epic user stories into smaller ones Create user stories Prioritize backlog Feedback: Designing the software is part of the development and should be done by the developers. They are self-organized and make technical decisions, and volunteer for tasks (assign them to themselves). Estimation is the responsibility of the developers because they are the people who will develop the item. The rest is done by the Product Owner.
The Product Owner is not collaborating with the Development Team during the Sprint. What are two valuable actions for a Scrum Master to take?
Bring up the problem in the Sprint Retrospective Coach the Product Owner in the values of Scrum and incremental delivery
How should the Product Owner forecast the completion date?
By any method he/she finds appropriate Feedback: Using a trend line in the burn-down chart can help (if the team is using that chart), as well as simple or complex formulas such as the one mentioned above. But all of these are just guides for the Product Owner and s/he should consider all factors and come up with a reliable completion date forecast.

Learning turns into 'validated learning' when assumptions and goals can be assessed through results. What is a key way for a Product Owner to apply validated learning? A) Release an Increment to the market to learn about the business assumptions built into the product. B) Accept an Increment at the Sprint review to learn about the forecast of functionality that was developed. C) Set the Sprint Goal before selecting Product Backlog items at Sprint Planning to learn about a Development Team's productivity.
Correct answer: A) Release an Increment to the market to learn about the business assumptions built into the product. Feedback: The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be generated. This assumption remains invalidated when not checked against users and market.
Who creates the definition of "Done"? A) The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization) B) The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members' definitions C) The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product's success D) The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team's productivity
Correct answer: A) The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization) Feedback If the definition of "done" is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. The Development Team of the Scrum Team can complement it with elements specific for the product or context. If "done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the Scrum Team must define a definition of "done" appropriate for the product.
In order to make investment decisions, the Product Owner is likely to look at the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the product being built. What costs will a Product Owner take into account? A) The money spent on development of the product, often a fixed cost per Sprint multiplied by the Sprints required B) All investments required to conceive, develop, operate and maintain the product C) The accumulated cost over the earned value of the product
Correct answer: B) All investments required to conceive, develop, operate and maintain the product Feedback The owner of a product is not only accountable for development and release of a product, but also the cost of maintaining and operating the product. If a person 'owns' the product, he/she can be expected to be responsible for the complete lifecycle of a product.

The process of regular inspection and adaptation employs knowledgeable and skilled inspectors. What are two ways in which the Product Owner takes the lead in the inspection process? A) At the Sprint Review the Product Owner shares the current state of Product Backlog, which, combined with the inspection of the Increment, leads to an updated Product Backlog. B) At the Daily Scrum the Product Owner inspects the Sprint burn-down for progress towards a complete Increment and re-planning the team's work. C) At the end of Sprint Planning the Product Owner verifies the Sprint Backlog for completeness in order to allow the Sprint to start. D) The Product Owner invites stakeholders to the Sprint Review to learn how the current state of the marketplace influences what is the most valuable thing to do next.
Correct answers: A, D A) At the Sprint Review the Product Owner shares the current state of Product Backlog, which, combined with the inspection of the Increment, leads to an updated Product Backlog. D) The Product Owner invites stakeholders to the Sprint Review to learn how the current state of the marketplace influences what is the most valuable thing to do next.

Which KVA categories should the Product Owner consider to measure and track the creation and delivery of value to the marketplace (select three)?
The current value is the organization's current value in the marketplace. The three pillars of value are: -ability of employees to generate revenues - likelihood of the employees to continue creating value - likelihood of the customer to continue generating revenues there are other measurements that could have been used. However, most either was later reflected in these measures, or they were circumstantial, explained in a number of indirect ways. Time to market consists of direct evidence of the software organization's ability to bring new features, functions, and products to the customers. Productivity was excluded, as speed is only one component of time to market; lean, focused functionality comes to market quicker than overburdened functionality developed with higher productivity. Much of the software in the marketplace is encumbered. Despite being able to get it to the market rapidly, the customers may not want to implement it. They may have found that it was too hard to implement the last release, that much of the functionality was irrelevant to their needs, and that the overall product was flawed with unneeded functionality as well as hard to use because of defects. As this occurs to software, more and more of the software organization's budget is consumed maintaining the product, further reducing the funds available to innovate.

Does the Scrum Team members respect each other to be capable, independent people?
YES
Does the Scrum Team agree to be open about their work?
YES. The Scrum Team and its stakeholders agree to be open about all the work and the challenges with performing the work.
Could the Product Owner and the Scrum Master be a part of the Development Team?
Yes
Every scrum team must have a product owner and scrum master
Yes, and each Scrum team's performance may be affected by their degree of participation as influenced by any other responsibilities ( e.g. other teams for which they are also the Scrum Master or PO)
When many Scrum teams are working on the same product, should all their increments be integrated every Sprint?
Yes, but only for Scrum teams whose work has dependencies.
When many Scrum Teams are working on the same product, Should all of their increments be integrated every Sprint?
Yes, otherwise Product Owners may not be able to inspect what is done accurately.
When many Scrum Teams are working on the same product, should all of their increments be integrated every Sprint?
Yes, otherwise the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.
Could the Product Owner and the Scrum Master be a part of the Development Team?
Yes. Scrum does not prohibit the Product Owner or the Scrum Master do development work. However, it is not the best practice because it could create a conflict of interest.
During the Daily Scrum, a team member says he does not know when his task will be complete a) it is acceptable as sprint review date is far away b) replace the team member with new team member c) dev. team should collaborate to plan alternative steps such as pairing with someone else, etc. to eliminate the risk of not meeting the Sprint Goal d) Scrum Master should mentor the team member on how to est. the task
c) dev. team should collaborate to plan alternative steps such as pairing with someone else, etc. to eliminate the risk of not meeting the Sprint Goal
A scrum team needs to develop a web application in increments. Some of the sprints have sprint goals like this: 'Develop data layer for functionality a'. What is your inference? a) the scrum team follows horizontal decomposition of product backlog items. this is recommended. b) the scrum team follows vertical decomposition of product backlog items. this is recommended. c) the scrum team follows horizontal decomposition of product backlog items. this is not recommended. d) the scrum team follows vertical decomposition of product backlog items. this is not recommended.
c) the scrum team follows horizontal decomposition of product backlog items. this is not recommended. It is preferable to decompose the product backlog items such that each can produce usable business functionality instead of producing a technical component. such decomposition based on usable business functionality is also called as vertical decomposition. A horizontal decomposition on the other hand makes the team as technical component that will have external dependencies.
You are in a Scrum Team that is in the middle of the Sprint. Your team gets some additional team members. The likely results is: a) the team can take more stories on the top of originally sprint backlog b) the team will have to do sprint planning again and get buy-in from new members of the new planning c) the team may suffer in its productivity
c) the team may suffer in its productivity The productivity will not increase bc there will be a learning curve for new members. the sprint cannot be aborted to go back to sprint planning. the sprint can only be cancelled by the p.o. upon their inference that the sprint goal is not valid anymore.

Scrum relies on what?
transparency
What are the three pillars of Scrum?
transparency, inspection, and adaptation
What does the "cone of uncertainty" tell us about Scrum projects? (Choose two answers)
The "cone of uncertainty" is about the fact that uncertainty is highest at the beginning of the project, and reduced as we progress. This uncertainty can be about the duration, requirements, etc.
What is the Sprint Backlog?
- 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. - The Sprint Backlog is a forecast by the Development Team about what functionality will be in the next Increment and the work needed to deliver that functionality into a "Done" Increment. - 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. --------------------------------------------------- The Product Backlog items selected for this Sprint plus the plan for delivering them
What factors should be considered by the Product Owner in the release decision (select four)?
Can customers actually absorb the new release? The costs and benefits of the upgrade The risk that the product's value can get out of line with the marketplace The customers that will be constrained by the new release
How does Definition of "Done" help to the Scrum Team?
DoD is used to 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 DoD ensures artifact transparency
How frequently the Product Owner should communicate and re-iterate his product vision to the Scrum Team and the Key Stakeholders?
Early and often
It is a good practice to have at least two Product Owners on big projects.
False. (The Product Owner is one person, not a committee, but the Product Owner may represent the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog.)
Sort Scrum events in the right order.
Sprint Planning Daily Scrum Sprint Review Sprint Retrospective
Please, select a time-box for each Scrum event.
Sprint Planning - 8 hours or less Daily Scrum - 15 minutes Sprint Review - 4 hours or less Sprint Retrospective - 3 hours or less
In which meetings the Key Stakeholders are allowed to participate?
The Sprint Review
Who are the typical Key Stakeholders (select three)?
The people responsible for making the funding decisions for the product development effort The people responsible for paying to use the product The human people who actually use the product under development
How does the Scrum Master help the Product Owner?
Understanding product planning in an empirical environment Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog management
How can the Product Owner bring his product vision to life (select 3)?
Utilizing the underlying empirical product planning features of Scrum Articulating the product vision to the Scrum Team and the Key Stakeholders early and often Via the Product Backlog and iterating towards that vision every Sprint
Product Backlog Refinement ...
Is an ongoing process, Takes no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team Is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to Product Backlog items
When a product grows, it is quite possible that the PO will get help from other Product Managers and others in the organization who interact regarding the customer facing activities and knowledge of the product marketplace. Is it a good idea for the PO to proxy or outsource some of their PO Scrum Team duties to these people (for example, Scrum Team facing duties)?
No.
The Sprint Review is just a demo of the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint. Do you agree?
No. The Sprint Review contains much more activities to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog. For example: - The Product Owner also explains what has not been "Done"; - The entire group collaborates on what to do next, so that the Sprint Review provides valuable input to subsequent Sprint Planning; - Review of the timeline, budget, potential capabilities, and marketplace for the next anticipated releases of functionality.
What does Product Backlog management include?
Optimizing the value of the work the Development Team performs Ordering the items in the Product Backlog to best achieve goals and missions Ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the Scrum Team will work on next
