All Sprints must be one month or less.

An organization has decided to adopt Scrum, but management wants to change the terminology to fit with terminology already used. What will likely happen if this is done?

All answers apply.

The length of a Sprint should be:

All of the above. - No more than one calendar month. - Short enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner. - Short enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events.

A Scrum Master is working with a Scrum Team that has members in different physical locations. The Scrum Team meets in a variety of meeting rooms and has much to do logistically (for example, set up conference calls) before the Daily Scrum. What action should the Scrum Master take?

Allow the Scrum Team to self-manage and determine for itself what to do.

A Product Backlog is:

An inventory of things to be done for the Product. Managed by the Product Owner. Ordered based on priority, value, dependencies, and risk.

How often should Scrum Team membership change?

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

In the middle of the Sprint, the customer decides that there are two new features she wants. The Product Owner could:

Ask the Developers to consider whether they can add these features to the current Sprint. Add these features to the Product Backlog.

What tactic should a Scrum Master use to divide a group of 100 people into multiple Scrum Teams?

Ask the people to divide themselves into teams.

Which two ways of creating Scrum Teams are consistent with Scrum's values?

Bring all the people together and let them organize into Scrum Teams. Existing teams propose how they would like to go about organizing into the new structure.

What are three ways Scrum promotes self-management?

By the Scrum Team deciding what work to do in a Sprint. By having the Scrum Master protect the Scrum Team from interruptions. By being a lightweight framework.

The Product Owner is not collaborating with the Development Team during the Sprint. What are two valuable actions for a Scrum Master to take?

Fasle

During 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.)

Forecast the Product Backlog items that are most likely to meet the Sprint Goal and create the Sprint Backlog. Conclude Sprint Planning and start the development work. Continue to analyze, decompose and create additional functionality during the Sprint During the next Sprint Retrospective discuss why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recure

How often should customer satisfaction be measured?

Frequently.

A Project Manager working with your Scrum Team has raised concerns about progress and money spent. What are the two best responses?

Have a discussion with the Project Manager; share the current impediments and forecast for the Sprint Promote transparency by sharing the Product Backlog and ensuring the Project Manager has access

What three things might a Scrum Product Owner focus on to ensure the product delivers value?

Immediately after the first sprint

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?

Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly. Opportunities to inspect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are lost. The Sprint Backlog may become inaccurate.

The Defnition of Done serves which three purposes?

Increase transparency. Guide the Developers on how many Product Backlog items to select for the Sprint. Create a shared understanding of when work is complete.

Why is it important that there is only one Product Owner per product?

Which statement best describes the Sprint Backlog as the output of the Sprint Planning?

It is the Scrum Team's plan for the Sprint.

Which statement best describes the Sprint Review?

It is when the Scrum Team and stakeholders inspect the outcome of a Sprint and figure out what to do next.

My job as a Product Owner focuses on the following:

Working with customers and stakeholders to identify the most valuable product requirements. Writing clear, transparent User Stories.

What is a Product Owner typically responsible for during a Sprint?

Working with the Scrum Team on Product Backlog refinement. Collaborating with stakeholders, user communities and product managers.

A Scrum Team has been working on a product for 9 Sprints. A new Product Owner who is new to Scrum joins the team and understands she is accountable for the Product Backlog. However, she is unsure about the purpose of the Product Backlog. She has read that the Product Backlog should be a list of all user features for the product. She goes to the Scrum Master asking where to put the other types of requirements that are going to be taken into account. Are all of the following types of requirements acceptable on a Product Backlog? Stability requirements Performance requirements Product Functionality Documentation Fixes

Yes, they all belong on the Product Backlog. The Product Backlog is supposed to be the "single source of truth" for all the work for the product.

You are a product manager with a proven track record in your company. Your management has asked you to take the lead in the development of a new product. Six teams new to Scrum will build this product. You have gathered a number of requirements and ideas into an early form of a Product Backlog. How would you minimize dependencies between the Scrum Teams?

You work with the Developers on how to best analyze and break apart the work.
