What are two effective ways for a Scrum Team to ensure security concerns are satisfied? (choose the best two answers)

Correct Answer:AC
These are the best answers because they ensure that security concerns are addressed in a transparent and consistent way. By adding security criteria to the Definition of Done, the Scrum Team can make sure that every Increment meets a high standard of quality and security. By creating Product Backlog items for specific security concerns, the Scrum Team can prioritize and plan them in collaboration with the Product Owner and stakeholders. References:
✑ Scrum Guide, page 14: “The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state
of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product.”
✑ Scrum Guide, page 15: “The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product.”

True or False: The Product Owner makes sure the Developers select enough from the Product
Backlog for a Sprint to satisfy the stakeholders.

Correct Answer:B
The Product Owner does not make sure the Developers select enough from the Product Backlog for a Sprint. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Developers, but the Developers are self-managing and decide how much work they can do in a Sprint1. The Product Owner and the Developers collaborate on the scope of the Sprint during Sprint Planning, but the final decision is up to the Developers2. The Product Owner should not interfere with the Developers’ work during the Sprint, but should provide feedback and guidance on the product value[3][3]. References:

When is a Product Backlog item considered complete? (choose the best answer)

Correct Answer:C
The Definition of Done is a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, and ensures transparency of the quality of the work done1. A Product Backlog item is considered complete when it meets the Definition of Done, which means that it is usable and potentially releasable, and that it meets the quality standards set by the Scrum Team and the stakeholders2. The other options are not sufficient to determine the completeness of a Product Backlog item, as they may not reflect the actual value and quality of the product.

A product's success is measured by: (choose the best three answers)

Correct Answer:ACF
A product’s success is measured by the value it delivers to the customers and the organization. The impact on cost, revenue, and customer satisfaction are three important indicators of value. The Scrum Guide states that "The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team."1 The Product Owner should consider the cost of developing and maintaining the product, the revenue generated by the product, and the satisfaction of the customers and users who use the product. These factors help the Product Owner to prioritize the Product Backlog, define the Product Goal, and collaborate with the stakeholders.

Which of the following are criteria to order Product Backlog items? (choose all that apply)

Correct Answer:ABC
The Product Owner orders the Product Backlog items according to various criteria, such as:
✑ The value of Product Backlog items. The Product Owner aims to maximize the value of the product and the work of the Scrum Team. Therefore, they prioritize the items that deliver the most value to the stakeholders and the users, considering factors such as customer satisfaction, market share, revenue, social impact, etc.
✑ The dependencies between Product Backlog items. The Product Owner tries to minimize the dependencies between items, as they may create complexity, uncertainty, and risk. Therefore, they order the items in a way that reduces or eliminates the dependencies, or resolves them as early as possible.
✑ The dependencies to other products. The Product Owner also considers the dependencies that the product has to other products, such as platforms, frameworks, libraries, services, etc. Therefore, they order the items in a way that aligns with the availability and compatibility of those products.
References:
✑ Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: “The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes … ordering Product Backlog items; and, ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible and understood.”
✑ Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: “The ordering of the items in the Product Backlog is the sole responsibility of the Product Owner. They order Product Backlog items to best achieve goals and missions.”
✑ Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: “Higher ordered Product Backlog items are clearer
and more refined than lower ordered ones.”

Scrum requires that the Product Owner must use which of the following items? (choose all that apply)

Correct Answer:E
Scrum does not require that the Product Owner must use any of the following items:
✑ Burndown chart: A burndown chart is a graphical representation of work left to do versus time. It can be used to track progress and forecast completion dates of projects or Sprints. However, it is not mandatory or prescribed in Scrum. It is one of the possible techniques that a Product Owner may use to monitor and communicate product development.
✑ Feature burn-up: A feature burn-up chart is a graphical representation of features completed versus time. It can be used to track progress and forecast scope changes of projects or Sprints. However, it is not mandatory or prescribed in Scrum. It is one of the possible techniques that a Product Owner may use to monitor and communicate product development.
✑ Critical Path Analysis: Critical Path Analysis is a project management technique that identifies the sequence of tasks that must be completed on time for a project or Sprint to finish on schedule. It can be used to plan, monitor, and control complex projects or Sprints. However, it is not mandatory or prescribed in Scrum. It is one of the possible techniques that a Product Owner may use to manage product development.
✑ Project Gantt chart: A project Gantt chart is a graphical representation of tasks, dependencies, durations, and milestones of a project or Sprint. It can be used to plan, monitor, and control complex projects or Sprints. However, it is not mandatory or prescribed in Scrum. It is one of the possible techniques that a Product Owner may use to manage product development.
Therefore, the correct answer is none of the above.
