How many weeks are required to release increment based on the following information: - 240 points release backlog - 3-week per Sprint - 45 points velocity per Sprint

45 points are velocity for 1 Sprint (3 weeks). It means that velocity for 1 week is 15 points (45/3 = 15)There are 240 points to complete release. 240 points / 15 points (1 week) = 16 weeks. But the duration of Scrum is 3 weeks and the increment will be ready only after the third week of the Sprint. --> So the correct answer is 18 weeks.

Who is accountable for a bad Product Backlog management setup?

However, the Product Owner remains accountable.

All work to be done by the Development Team must ultimately originate from the Product Backlog?

I think, in the broad sense the answer is "yes". The PB is the source for the Sprint Backlog. The Sprint Backlog is the source of the Dev Team work. However, only the Dev Team knows how to implement Sprint Backlog Items. It can involve technical tasks, for example, removing some technical debt or even installing a development environment for a new developer.

THIRD PILLAR: Adapatation

If an inspector determines that one or more aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits, and that the resulting product will be unacceptable, the process or the material being processed must be adjusted. An adjustment must be made AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to minimize further deviation.

What happens when a Sprint is cancelled?

If part of the work is potentially releasable, the Product Owner typically accepts it Any completed and "Done" Product Backlog items are reviewed All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put back on the Product Backlog ------ o The work done on them depreciates quickly and must be frequently re-estimated.

If it's not possible to complete the Sprint Backlog, who would try to resolve it?

If this situation is happening Product Owner and Development team should discuss how they can resolve issues

What is the cone of uncertainty?

In complex adaptive problems, the amount of the unknown is really huge in the initial stages and will likely trend down over the course of the product development. The trend is called the cone of uncertainty.

The Product Owner has doubts about the quality of the definition of "Done". What should s/he do?

Increase product quality by adaptation the definition of "Done" in the next Sprint Retrospective. The Scrum Master encourages the Scrum Team to improve, within the Scrum process framework, its development process and practices to make it more effective and enjoyable for the next Sprint. 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 a product or organizational standards.

The definition of done is used to:

Increase transparency. Guide the development team on how many product backlog items to select for the sprint. Create a shared understanding of when work is complete.

What are the benefits to the Scrum development team of self-organization?

Increased feeling of accountability Increased commitment Increased creativity

Incremental deliveries ensure what?

Incremental deliveries of "Done" product ensure a potentially useful version of working product is always available.

What are some of the characteristics of good Product Backlog Items?

Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimatable, Small, and Testable.

Which two statements explain why the definition of "Done" is important to the Product Owner?

It assures the Increment reviewed at the Sprint review is usable so the Product Owner may choose to release it. It creates transparency regarding progress within the Scrum Team. All Scrum Team members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency. This is the definition of "Done" for the Scrum Team and is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment. The Increment reviewed at the Sprint Review must be useable, so a Product Owner may choose to immediately release it.

What is a Product Backlog?

It is a living artifact of product requirements that exists and evolves as long as a product exists.

What is a Product Backlog?

It is a living artifact of product requirements that exists and evolves as long as a product exists. The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product and is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product. The Product Backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. Higher ordered Product Backlog items are usually clearer and more detailed than lower ordered ones. As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.

What is the primary purpose of the Scrum Master at the Daily Scrum?

Manage the time-box

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?

Management may feel less anxious. The organization may not understand what has changed within scrum and the benefits of scrum may be lost. Without a new vocabulary as a reminder of the change, very little change may actually happen.

The Sprint Review is just a demo of the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint. Do you agree?

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)?

Who is responsible for the Project Plan and Gantt Chart in Scrum?

Is a safety check by itself a complete Sprint Retrospective?

No.

Is retrospective safety enhanced by inviting outside spectators who weren't working on the team?

No. If the team needs to discuss issues with outsiders it's usually better to do this after the retrospective.

A Product Owner can measure success by an increase in the team's velocity?

No. It is just one of the first steps to success. Success in Scrum is getting maximum value with the existing resources. Value, as defined in a Scrum context, is the financial (or social) benefit an organization receives or might receive by creating and releasing the product under development. In order for value to actually be captured, a release of the product must occur. The sooner you release, the sooner you can start capturing the value created by the product.Increase in team's velocity shows that the Dev Team became more mature and can do more in the same time frame

Not more than 10%

Should the entire Sprint work be decomposed within Sprint Planning?

Not necessary. Work planned for the first few days of the Sprint by the Dev. Team is decomposed by the end of this meeting, often to units of one day or less. Dev. Team members collaboratively assign these work units among themselves.

What is the maximum length of a Sprint?

Not so long that the risk is unacceptable to the Product Owner; Not so long that other business events can't be readily synchronized with the development work; No more than one calender month

Who or what limites the authority of the Product Owner?

Nothing

The Product Owner's authority to change and update the Product Backlog is unlimited, except for:

Nothing. The entire organization must respect a Product Owner's decisions.

The Product Owner's authority to change and update the Product Backlog is unlimited, except for ?

Nothing. The entire organization must respect a Product Owner's decisions. For the Product Owner to succeed, the entire organization must respect his or her decisions. No one is allowed to tell the Development Team to work from a different set of requirements, and the Development Team isn't allowed to act on what anyone else says.

Scrum Team decides they need to create one more artifact UI markup to better understand the product feature, can they proceed or not since Scrum Teams should capture product features/needs only in Product Backlog?

Of course, the team can proceed. Right, PB is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product. If the Scrum Team does not understand what should be done next, it means the PB needs to be refined. The Product Owner should put his product vision as backlog items, maybe with help of the Development Team.

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.

True

True or false? The purpose of a Sprint is to produce a done increment of working product.

True

ll work to be done by development team must ultimately originate from Product Backlog?

True

True or false? The Scrum Master is a management role.

True //Appears to contradict later question, claiming that the Scrum Master is not a Manager. Possible explanation from Google - Scrum Master has a 'management' function, in terms of managing the implementation of scrum, but not in a hierarchical manner.

All scrum teams must have a Product Owner and Scrum Master

True and the productivity and progress depends on their availability

A discussion of what to do next is an additional even in the Sprint Review.

True, and it may capture probable Backlog Items for the next Sprint, but the scope of the next Sprint is deferred until Sprint Planning

As a decomposition of the selected Product Backlog Items, the Sprint Backlog changes and may grow as the work emerges.

True.

Scrum does not have a role called "project manager."

True.

The Development Team may work with the Product Owner to remove or add work if it finds it has more or less capacity than it expected.

True.

The Product Owner can help clarify or optimize the Sprint when asked by the Development Team.

True.

The purpose of a sprint is to produce a done increment of a working product.

True.

Product Backlog Refinement practice focuses on Items for upcoming Sprints, not the current Sprint in progress. True or false?

True. Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog. The Items in the current Sprint are no longer on the Product Backlog, because they are now on the Sprint Backlog. However, it is certainly fine for the Product Owner to add detail and clarification to the current Sprint's work as well.

Scrum Master is a "management" position

True. (It is a Manager "servant" position!) The Scrum Master manages the Scrum process. If the Scrum Master is not a management position, he or she may not have the influence to remove impediments. The Scrum Master does not manage the team.

What two things should be done if the Product Owner is unavailable?

Within the Sprint, the Development Team makes the best decisions possible to assure progress toward the Sprint Goal, re-aligning with the Product Owner once he/she is available again. In a permanent state of unavailability, a new Product Owner needs to be appointed. Development efforts without a Product Owner are not employing Scrum. The Scrum framework consists of Scrum Teams and their associated roles, events, artifacts, and rules. Each component within the framework serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and usage. The Scrum Team consists of a Product Owner, the Development Team, and a Scrum Master. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Development Team. In the absence of a Product Owner, the latter accountability is not performed.

What two things should be done if the Product Owner is unavailable?

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?

Without a new vocabulary as a reminder of the change, very little change may actually happen. The organization may not understand what has changed with Scrum and the benefits of Scrum may be lost. Management may feel less anxious.

What are two typical activities for a Product Owner in a Sprint?

Work with the Development Team on Product Backlog refinement. Collaborate with stakeholders, user communities and product managers The Product Owner represents the stakeholders to the Scrum Team. This typically requires active interaction in order to be able to represent stakeholders and their needs. Product Backlog refinement is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items.

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 the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.

As a product owner, how would you minimize dependencies between the Scrum Teams?

You identify the dependencies and reorder the product backlog for them

You're a product lead with a good track record and the organization has asked you to take the lead of a new product. The product will have 6 teams working on it but they are all new to Scrum. You're starting to form a Product Backlog. How would you minimize dependencies between Scrum Teams?

You work with the Development Teams on how to best parse the work.

What are some examples of Product Backlog management techniques where a Scrum Master can coach the P.O. and the Dev. Team:

a) Creating a common standard that defines the preferred level of description and transparency each Product Backlog Item should meet before introducing them in Sprint Planning. The Team can then use this standard as a guideline to decompose the Items. b) In addition to using value, a P.O. can choose input from the Dev. Team on ordering the items based on their technical coherence. d) Techniques like writing the items in the form of user stories and their Acceptance Tests.

How often should Development Team members change?

as needed

Empiricism provides

b) frequent opportunities to discuss different possibilities c) frequent opportunities to make informed decisions, reducing risk

During the Daily Scrum, a team member says he does not know when his task will be complete

How can one Scrum team build a potentially shippable product increment within one Sprint?

1) By checking code in multiple times per day, and by reducing or eliminating branches in the version control system. 2) By full-time allocation to one team, focusing on only one set of Sprint goals. 3) By improved collaboration techniques: pair programming, working in a team room, and eliminating "over the wall" hand offs. 4) By using modern software engineering approaches, such as test-driven development (TDD), continuous design, continuous integration, merciless refactoring. 5) By organizing teams around features rather than architectural components. 6) By agreeing to a smaller amount of feature scope at the Sprint Planning Meeting, allowing more time for integration, testing, and fixing during each Sprint.

What are the two primary ways a Scrum Master keeps a Development Team working at its highest level of productivity?

1) By facilitating Development Team decisions 2) By removing impediments that hinder the Development Team A Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Development Team. Facilitation and removing impediments serves a team in achieving the best productivity possible.

What skills are often useful or necessary on a Scrum Development Team?

1) Coding 2) Software design/architecture 3) Database 4) Business domain knowledge and requirements analysis 5) User interface design, user experience, information architecture 6) Testing 7) Technical writing

What two (2) things does the Development Team do during the first Sprint?

1) Deliver an increment of releasable software. 2) Develop and deliver at least one piece of functionality. OR 1) Build a thin slice of potentially shippable functionality. 2) Test the product. The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a time-box of one month or less during which a "Done", usable, and potentially releasable product Increment is created. This applies to every Sprint

The three pillars of empirical process control are:

1) Inspection 2) Transparency 3)Adaptation Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control: transparency, inspection, and adaptation

To avoid technical debt, what should the team write down in their definition of done?

1) Regression tests for new functionality run automatically with every build. 2) Manual, exploratory testing has been conducted. 3) All previous regression tests pass. 4) Duplicate code has been removed through refactoring. 5) Messy and poorly designed code has been cleaned up through refactoring. 6) Checkout and build are fully reproducible, typically with one or two commands. 7) Code has been written by pairs, or at least reviewed by other team members.

What is the Development Team responsible for?

1) Resolving internal conflicts. 2) Planning how to meat a Sprint goal. 3) Increasing Productivity and learning. 4) Coordinating daily during the Sprint to meet the Sprint goal.

What is the order of Scrum Events?

1) Sprint Planning Meeting 2) Daily Scrums (Daily) 3) Sprint Review Meeting 4) Sprint Retrospective Meeting Backlog Refinement Meeting: required activity, not required event

What are effective ways for the Scrum Master to encourage collaboration between the Scrum Development Team and Product Owner?

1) Teach the team to talk in terms of business needs and objectives. 2) Listen to their communications. 3) Teach the Product Owner about technologies the team uses.

What two conditions of a Sprint foster creativity, quality, and productivity?

1) The Development Team should not be interrupted during the Sprint. 2) The Sprint Goal should remain intact.

Who must attend the Sprint Planning Meeting?

1) The Product Owner. 2) The Scrum Development Team. 3) The Scrum Master.

Who is on the Scrum Team?

1) The Scrum Master 2) The Product Owner 3) The Development Team The Scrum Team consists of the Scrum Master (manages the process), the Product Owner (decides what to do) and the Development Team (does the work).

What are the explicitly defined questions in the Daily Scrum Meeting?

1) What did I do yesterday (or since the last Scrum Meeting)? 2) What will I do today (or before the next Scrum Meeting)? 3) What impedes me (blocks my progress, reduces my effectiveness, etc.)?

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?

1) Without a new vocabulary as a reminder of the change, very little change may actually happen. 2) The organization may not understand what has changed with Scrum and the benefits of Scrum may be lost. 3) Management may feel less anxious.

What is the recommended size for a Development Team (within the Scrum Team)?

3 to 9 Optimal Development Team size is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work. Fewer than three Development Team members decreases interaction and results in smaller productivity

The maximum length of the Sprint Review (its time-box) is:

4 hours for a monthly Sprint. For shorter Sprints it is usually shorter. Sprint Review is a four-hour time-boxed meeting for one-month Sprints. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter.

The time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting is?

8 hours for a monthly Sprint. For shorter Sprints it is usually shorter.

What best describes Scrum?

A framework within which complex products in complex environments are developed. OR A framework with built-in reality checks for complex work in uncertain domains. Scrum is not a process or a technique for building products; rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques.

When is the Sprint Backlog created?

During the Sprint Planning Meeting, though the tasks needed to accomplish the fixed goals will change during Sprint execution.

The Sprint Backlog is fully formulated in the Sprint Planning meeting and does not change during the Sprint. (T/F)

False The Sprint Backlog makes visible all of the work that the Development Team identifies as necessary to meet the Sprint Goal. The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint.

It is mandatory that the product increment be released to production at the end of each Sprint. (T/F)

False The product increment should be usable and releasable at the end of every Sprint, but it does not have to be released.

In a Scrum organization, what is a responsibility of management external to the Scrum Team?

Help resolve team-reported impediments and improve the larger organization.

What often happens to the Product Backlog as development continues from Sprint to Sprint?

It gets larger, because every Sprint Review demonstration prompts requests for more or different features.

When does a Development Team member become the sole owner of a Sprint Backlog item?

Never. All Sprint Backlog Items are "owned" by the entire Development Team, even though each one may be implemented by an individual development team member. Sprint Backlog and all of its items are collectively owned by the Development Team. No individual team member can claim ownership over an item as this would block communication and collaboration.

In Scrum, is it acceptable to postpone testing until another Sprint?

No. In Scrum, teams attempt to build a potentially shippable product increment every Sprint.

Does Scrum have a concept of a "partially done" PBI?

No. It's important to avoid self deception.

Do most people use most features of most software products?

No. Many people wish the 20% of features they actually use the most had been properly tested.

Is Test Driven Development (TDD) a part of Scrum?

No. Scrum is only a feedback framework. It does not specify particular technical practices.

How many Sprints are planned during a Sprint Planning Meeting?

One Sprint only. Once a team has established a consistent velocity, the Product Owner can use this velocity to make longer range forecasts and release plans.

What is a good size for a Sprint Task?

One person-day or less, so other team members can easily detect when a task is stuck.

Does Scrum have rules, or just guidelines?

Scrum has had a few simple rules for a decade or two, with minor refinements.

What is the role of Management in Scrum?

Support the Product Owner with insights and information into high value product and system capabilities. Support the Scrum Master to cause organizational change that fosters empiricism, self-organization, bottom-up intelligence, and intelligent release of software. Management has no active role in the actual product development through Scrum. However, management external to the Scrum team is incredibly important in setting the vision and strategy to guide the overall direction of the organization.

Who is required to attend the Daily Scrum?

The Development Team Only the people doing the work described on the Sprint Backlog need to inspect and adapt at the Daily Scrum. If the Scrum Master or Product Owner is also on the Development Team, they will need to be at the Daily Scrum. Otherwise, the Scrum Master simply has to make sure the Development Team knows how to conduct a Daily Scrum and does so.

Who is responsible for managing the progress of work during a Sprint?

The Development Team The Development Team uses the Daily Scrum to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and to inspect how progress is trending toward completing the work in the Sprint Backlog.

Who should know the most about the progress toward a business objective or a release, and be able to explain the alternatives most clearly?

The Product Owner The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog, which includes that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the Scrum Team will work on next.

During a Sprint, a Development Team determines that it will not be able to finish the complete forecast. Who should be present to review and adjust the Sprint work selected?

The Product Owner and the Development Team. During the Sprint, scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the Product Owner and Development Team as more is learned.

The Development Team should have all the skills needed to

Turn the Product Backlog items it selects into an increment of potentially releasable product functionality. The Development Team consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable increment of "Done" product at the end of each sprint. Development teams are cross-functional, with all of the skills as a team necessary to create a product increment.
