Scrum - PSM Study guide

Remind the Product Owner that his primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog.

A Development Team asks 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?

True

A properly functioning Scrum Team will have at least one Release Sprint and may well have several.

Productivity may suffer when making this kind of move, Getting support from the business side first helps, and Feature teams have less communication overhead.

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.)

Collect the Sprint tasks from the teams at the end of their Sprint Planning and merge that into a consolidated plan for the entire Sprint.

Five new Scrum Teams have been created to build one product. A few of the developers on one of the Development Teams ask the Scrum Master how to coordinate their work with the order teams. What should the Scrum Master do?

The Scrum framework being adopted and used properly.

For which is the Scrum Master responsible?

As needed, while taking into account a short term reduction in productivity

How often should Development Team membership change?

Ensure every Increment meets them.

How should a Development Team deal with non-functional requirements?

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. and Discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.

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?

False

Scrum has a role called "Project Manager".

False

Scrum is a methodology that tells in detail how to build software incrementally.

Opportunities to insect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are lost, Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly, and The Sprint plan may become inaccurate

The Daily Scrum is an event that happens every day. What would be three key concerns if the frequency were to be lowered to every two or three days? (Choose three.)

True

The purpose of a Sprint is to produce a done Increment of product.

By the Development Team deciding what work to do in a Sprint, By removing titles for Development Team members, and By being a lightweight framework

What are three ways Scrum promotes self-organization?

The event can take no more than a maximum amount of time.

What does it mean to say that an event has a time-box?

It can't. Only Product Owners can cancel Sprints.

When can a Development Team cancel a Sprint?

Never. All Sprint Backlog Items are "owned" by the entire Development Team, even though each one may be done by an individual Development Team member

When do Development Team members take ownership of a Sprint Backlog item?

During the Sprint Retrospective.

When is it most appropriate for a Development Team to change the definition of "Done"?

What can be done and how to do it.

Which answer best describes the topics covered in Sprint Planning?

Sprint Retrospective

Which of the following is required by Scrum?

A framework within which complex products in complex environments are developed.

Which statement best describes Scrum?

The Development Team

Who must attend the Daily Scrum?

The Development Team ensures that the Product Owner is aware, starts the Sprint, and monitors progress & Remove or change selected Product Backlog items.

As the Sprint Planning meeting progresses, the Development Team sees that the workload is greater than they can handle. Which two are valid actions? (Choose two.)

requirements for the subsequent Sprints & Create an increment of potentially releasable software.

Which two things should the Development Team do during the first Sprint?

The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization).

Who creates the definition of "Done"?

The Development Team.

Who determines when it is appropriate to update the Sprint Backlog during a Sprint?

The Development Team

Who should make sure everyone on the Development Team does his or her tasks for the Sprint?
