Question 19

Collaboration issues and technical dependencies between multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product can be fully resolved by using the correct version control tools.

A. True

B. False

Correct Answer:B
When working on complex problems in complex environments, it cannot be guaranteed that applying a specific process or tool will fix the problem. Although, process and tools are important it’s more important that people collaborate and try to find different solutions together and not rely solely on a tool to fix the problem.

Question 20

In Scrum, how would budgeting and financial forecasting be performed? (Choose two.)

A. Frequently inspect the outcomes of the delivered Sprint Increments to understand how much value is being produced per investment spent.

B. A single release may be funded with several Sprints where every Sprint is producing shippable increments.

C. Budgeting is not necessary as the only funding necessary is the operational costs of the Scrum Teams.

D. Fixed budgets are not allowed in Scrum.

Correct Answer:AB
The cost of developing, delivering, and sustaining products can impact how the flow of value is managed throughout the life of a product. Each Sprint is an opportunity to inspect the investment (financial, time, effort, etc.) against the returned value (customer satisfaction, revenue, etc.) of the work that has been delivered. The team can then decide on what it should do next to maximize the value of the investment.

Correct Answer:C
All events are time-boxed events, such that every event has a maximum duration. Once a Sprint begins, its duration is fixed and cannot be shortened or lengthened. The remaining events may end whenever the purpose of the event is achieved, ensuring an appropriate amount of time is spent without allowing waste in the process.
