PSM-II Scrum Exam Questions and Free Practice Test

Question 25

Peter is a new Product Owner on a newly formed Scrum Team. Peter has projected a product completion date based on an estimated velocity of 21 completed points per Sprint. After the first 3 Sprints, the team has determined that their maximum velocity is 15 points and they are unable to create shippable increments at the end of each Sprint.
What is the best way to proceed?

A. The Sprints have failed to produce shippable Increments there for opportunities to inspect and adapt is los

B. The Scrum Master would encourage the organization to add more team members in order toincrease the team’s capacity.

C. The Scrum Master would coach the team on improving their estimations and commitment to completing the Sprint Backlog.

D. Extend the Sprint in order to complete the Sprint Backlog items.

E. Inform Peter that the projected completion date is not correc

F. The Development team would estimate the remaining work to produce a shippable Increment and suggest making it “Done” before working on new feature

G. Based on empirical data, Peter can adjust the completion date and decide how to continue.

Correct Answer:D

Question 26

What would be good ways of creating Development Teams that would support the Scrum values?

A. Project Managers will allocate individuals to specific teams.

B. Bring all the developers or existing teams together and let them propose how to organize into the new structure and self-organize into Development Teams.

C. The operations manager determines the new team structures and assignments.

D. Direct managers personally re-assign current reports to new teams.

Correct Answer:B
The ones that will be doing the work are the best ones to decide on what Development Team structures work best.

Question 27

Which role is responsible for determining when it is most appropriate to update the Sprint Backlog?

A. The Product Owner

B. The Development Team

C. The Scrum Team

D. The Scrum Master

Correct Answer:B
The Development Team is responsible for tracking the remaining work of the Sprint.

Question 28

During the Sprint Retrospective, the team is discussing the quality issues that prevented the team from delivering a releasable Increment at the end of the Sprint. The Development Team does, however, mention that they were able to achieve a high velocity.
What are the best two responses for Steven, their Scrum Master, to take? (Choose two.)

A. Stress the value of working software over measured velocity.

B. Agree and acknowledge the Development Team’s hard work, so they will be motivated to do even more in the next Sprint.

C. Acknowledge the hard work but remind the Development Team that they need to improve in order to do even more in the next Sprint.

D. Facilitate a discussion on how to improve the quality to a level high enough for the Increment to be releasable, even if the measured velocity drops in the next Sprint.

Correct Answer:AD
Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. The primary objective of a Sprint (iteration) is to produce a potentially shippable product Increment. Having an Increment
will allow the Scrum Team to know the right thing to do in the upcoming Sprint. Having a velocity is important but working software is the primary measure of progress.

Question 29

Scrum is based on which of the following?

A. Defined process.

B. Complex process.

C. Empiricism.

D. Hybrid model

Correct Answer:C
Scrum addresses complex problems in complex environments and asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. What is known can only be discovered in hindsight.

Question 30

What Development Team structure is best suited to produce integrated increments?

A. Every Development Team has the abilities to develop functionality from beginning to end throughout all technical layers.

B. Each Development Team specializes in one technical layer of the system (e.

C. GUI, database, middle tier, interfaces).
