Question 35

A Development Team has a total of six members, 4 members who work full time in the office and 2 members who work part time at home. The Development Team is complaining that it is too difficult to synchronize every day and has suggested having the Daily Scrum every other day instead.
What would be three key concerns if the Daily Scrum is held less frequently? (Choose three.)

A. Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly.

B. Opportunities to inspect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are reduced.

C. Less information about the progress will be shared causing the Sprint plan to become inaccurate and reducing transparency over progress toward the Sprint Goal.

D. The Scrum Master loses the ability to update the burndown chart adequately.

E. The Product Owner cannot accurately inspect utilization of the individual team members.

Correct Answer:ABC
The Daily Scrum is an internal meeting for the Development Team to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and to inspect how progress is trending toward completing the work in the Sprint Backlog. The Daily Scrum optimizes the probability that the Development Team will meet the Sprint Goal. Every day, the Development Team should understand how it intends to work together as a self-organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment by the end of the Sprint.
Reducing the frequency of the event will increase the length of the feedback loop and adds risk if the team deviates too far off course.

Question 36

How often should Development Team membership change?

A. Frequently in order to share knowledge.

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

C. Never, as it conflicts with the Scrum process.

D. As needed, as long as it doesn’t impact productivity.

Correct Answer:B
It is not mandatory that the same team stay together, although it must be understood that any changes to the team will impact how they work together.
