SCRUM TEST
What are two effective ways for the scrum team to make non functional requirements visible?
Add them to the Product Backlog and keep the Product Owner posted on the expected effort. Run the integration and regression tests before the end of the Sprint, and capture the open work for the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint.
During a sprint, when is new work or further decomposition of work added to the sprint backlog?
As soon as possible after it is identified.
A scrum master is introducing scrum to a new Team. The Team has decided that a sprint retrospective is unnecessary. What action should the scrum master take?
Begin facilitating productive and useful sprint retrospectives
What are two ways that regulatory compliance issues are dealt with in Scrum?
During the Sprint Retrospective, the Development Team assesses how to add these expectations to their Definition of Done so every future Increment will meet these security requirements. If needed they can work with external specialists to better understand the requirements. They are added to the Product Backlog and addressed throughout the next Sprints, combined with creating the business functionality in those Sprints, no matter how small the business functionality.
How should a scrum team deal with non-functional requirements?
Ensure that every increment meets them!
Who starts the daily scrum?
Whoever the Development Team decides should start.
During the Sprint, the Scrum Master's role is to do which two of the following?
coaching the team in self management, and monitor the progress of the developers, teach the team to keep their meetings to the timebox.
What are examples of non functional requirements
security, performance, speed
Every scrum team should have.......
the competencies and skills needed to deliver an increment in a sprint.
who determines when it is appropriate to update the sprint backlog during a sprint?
the developers
Who is responsible for the sizing of product backlog items?
the developers!!!! The Developers who will be doing the work are responsible for the sizing. The Product Owner may influence the Developers by helping them understand and select trade-offs. Multiple Scrum Teams often work together on the same product. One Product Backlog is used to describe the upcoming work on the product.
What topics should be discussed during the sprint review?
the product increment/sprint results
what may be included in the sprint backlog?
user stories, tasks, tests, sub tasks, bugs. basically anything that a scrum team intends to work on during a sprint should be in the sprint backlog.
Several sprints into a project, the product owner tells the scrum master that a key stakeholder just started using the product. The stakeholder is unhappy with the quality of the product. What is the best way for the scrum master to handle this?
Coach the Product Owner on effective ways to communicate this concern to the Development Team and encourage the Product Owner to add the performance issue to the Product Backlog.
true or false: the developers do not meet with stakeholders - only product owners meet with stakeholders
FALSE!
What techniques could the scrum master use when the scrum team gets caught in an internal disagreement about which agile practices to apply?
Involve the complete Development Team. Use coaching techniques; such as open questions and active listening.
the IT manager asks a scrum team for a status report describing the progress throughout the sprint. the scrum team asks the scrum master for advice. the scrum master should:
Talk to the IT manager and explain that progress in Scrum comes from inspecting an Increment at the Sprint Review.
As the sprint planning progresses, the developers realize that the workload may be greater than their capacity to complete the work. What are two valid actions?
The Development Team ensures that the Product Owner is aware, starts the Sprint, and monitors progress. Remove or change selected Product Backlog items.
A developer takes the scrum master aside to express his concerns about data security issues. What should the scrum master do?
Ask the developer to share his concerns with the team ASAP
During sprint planning, the product owner and the developers are unable to reach an understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Developers are unable to determine how many Product Backlog items they can forecast for the upcoming sprint. However, the Product Owner and the Developers are able to agree on a Sprint Goal. What actions should the scrum master support?
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. Discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.
