Question 13

At the Sprint Planning, the Development Team is not able to forecast the number of Product Backlog items it can do in the upcoming Sprint due to unclear requirements. The Product Owner, however, was able to clearly define the business objective he hopes to achieve in the Sprint.
Which of the following two actions would you support? (Choose two.)

A. The Development Team forecasts the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the business objective and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and pla

B. Once the time- box for the SprintPlanning meeting is over, they start implementation and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.

C. If all agree they can extend the Sprint Planning until the Development Team can forecast enough Product Backlog items before starting the implementation.

D. Allow the Development Team members as much time as needed to review the Product Backlog items and reconvene with the Product Owner when they are confident enough to make a forecast for the Sprint.

E. They discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to occur again.

Correct Answer:AD
All events are time-boxed events, such that every event has a maximum duration. The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal.

Question 14

In order to start the first Sprint, Scrum only requires a Product Owner with enough ideas, a Development Team to execute on those ideas, and a Scrum Master to guide the process.

A. True

Correct Answer:A
In complex domains, you are only able to know the outcomes in hindsight. Empiricism, from which Scrum was founded on, asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. New knowledge will emerge as work is being done.

Question 15

What must the Development Team do during the first Sprint?

A. Create a potentially shippable product Increment that includes at least one piece of functionality.

B. Analyze and estimate the requirements for the subsequent Sprints.

C. Create a project plan in order to map functional development to Sprint dates.

D. Only design and develop the architecture and infrastructure.

Correct Answer:A
Sprints promote iterative and incremental development.

Question 16

What would be two boundaries, defined in Scrum, that give guidance for teams to effectively self-organize? (Choose two.)

A. Timeboxing the events in Scrum to allow for regular inspection and adaptation creating opportunities to adjust course in any given path.

B. Clearly defined functional teams within the Development Team to define handoff phases during development.

C. Creating an integrated and potentially shippable Increment by the end of each Sprint.

D. Having a mixture of different levels of skills and experience to promote domain knowledge sharing.

Correct Answer:AC
Time-boxing promotes regularity and focus for self-organized teams. Having shippable Increments allows teams to collaboratively make decisions on what needs to be done next.

Question 17

Which of the following are feedback loops in Scrum?

A. Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective

B. Daily Standup, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective

C. Release Planning, Daily Scrum, and Sprint Review

D. Grooming, Daily Status, and Sprint Review

Correct Answer:A

Question 18

A. Short enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner.

B. Short enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events.

C. No more than one month.

D. All of these answers are correct.

Correct Answer:D
