1 / 30

During the sprint planning meeting, the product owner mentions that Feature A should be implemented since it has the highest ROI. The team argues that they think that Feature B would give the maximum benefit to a section of users as they found out during previous conversations. What should happen now? (choose the best option)

The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Developers. The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog.

2 / 30

Can Scrum be used in a company where product time, scope, and budget are established in advance? (choose all options that apply)

Scrum Guide: Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams, and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. The Scrum framework, as outlined herein, is immutable. While implementing only parts of Scrum is possible, the result is not Scrum. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as a container for other techniques, methodologies, and practices.

3 / 30

A developer who specializes in testing is concerned about the Scrum Team skipping one point from the Definition of Done-load testing. She shares with you that all developers and the Product Owner agree on removing load testing from the Definition of Done. What would you do as a Scrum Master? (Choose the best two options)

The Scrum Master does not accept or reject decisions.
When the team does changes to the DoD, the SM knows the right questions to ask:
-Why are we making the change and what do we want to achieve?
-Will this change reduce transparency in some way?
-Will we still be able to create valuable increments every Sprints?

4 / 30

The Scrum values promote Scrum Teams to be cross-functional and have all the skills needed to build a product within the team. While starting Scrum, what would be the advantages of keeping the existing component teams (e.g. design, database, backend, frontend)? (Choose the best option)

The ones that will be doing the work are the best ones to decide on what Developer's structures work best.

5 / 30

A team is adopting some technical practices to achieve greater agility. One of the practices is continuous integration. The product is extremely complex and has multiple integration points. The integration and build process takes a long time, which is a major hurdle in achieving the goal of continuous integration. What is the best recommendation for the team? (choose the best option)

Technical practices need to be introduced early in an agile team and one of the critical practices is continuous integration. If the process is time-consuming or difficult, the team must figure out a way to reduce the time and complexity. Continuous integration $(mathrm{Cl})$ is the practice of merging all developer working copies to shared mainline several times a day. The main aim of $mathrm{Cl}$ is to prevent integration problems. The practice aims to reduce rework and thus reduce cost and time. So Investigate how to reduce the time taken for integration and build.

6 / 30

How is risk managed in Agile? (choose the best option)

The risk is monitored and audited on an ongoing basis throughout each iteration and exposed during iteration planning, execution, review, and retrospective.

7 / 30

Ryan, who is a Scrum Master, on one of the Scrum Teams has approached you asking for advice. Their Daily Scrum requires more than 15 minutes and the team has suggested dividing themselves into two separate teams in order to stay within the time box. As another Scrum Master, what would be the best response? (Choose the best option)

The relationship between cause and effect can become more clear when more information emerges.

8 / 30

Regression testing is part of the agreed Definition of Done of a Scrum Team. During lunch, one of the Developers tells you that during every Sprint they are not completing full regression testing for all of the Product Backlog Items of the Sprint Backlog. Developers have discussed with the Product Owner and decided to change the Definition of Done to make testing optional. Which two actions are appropriate? (choose the best two options)

The Scrum Master serves the Scrum Team in several ways, including Coaching the team members in self-management and cross-functionality; Helping the Scrum Team focus on creating high-value Increments that meet the Definition of Done; Causing the removal of impediments to the Scrum Team's progress; and, Ensuring that all Scrum events take place and are positive, productive, and kept within the timebox. The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including Helping find techniques for effective Product Goal definition and Product Backlog management; Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items; Helping establish empirical product planning for a complex environment; and, Facilitating stakeholder collaboration as requested or needed. From the options provided, Coaching is the best option as the main objective of Scrum Master is to make the team self-managed & Cross-Functional. Although the Scrum Master knows that testing would make the increment not releasable, he or she needs to coach the Scrum Team to understand why

9 / 30

Two Scrum Teams are working on the same Product to have the increment ready. One Scrum Team has a goal of $80 %$ of code coverage and they are running performance tests. The other Scrum Team leaves code coverage up to the criteria of each developer, they do not run performance tests because they consider that User Acceptance tests are way more important. As a Scrum Master, what do you think of this scenario? (Choose the best option)

If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the Developers on all the Scrum Teams must mutually define the Definition of Done.

10 / 30

A Scrum Team is working on a mobile application. After some successful releases, the Product Owner received a lot of requests from users, and the Stakeholders would invest more to hire more Developers to add a second team to move faster with the development. What are the changes that will most likely happen to the teams? (Choose the best two options)

Multiple Scrum Teams for 1 Product =>1 Product Backlog =>1 Product Owner. Multiple Scrum Teams often work together on the same product. One Product Backlog is used to describe the upcoming work on the product. The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog. The Product Owner is one person, not a committee. Just like the membership changes within a Scrum Team, adding or removing additional Scrum Teams to the same Product Development will impact productivity in the initial stages. Scrum Teams are crossfunctional, with all the skills as a team necessary to create a product Increment. Scrum recognizes no titles for Scrum team members, regardless of the work being performed by the person; Scrum recognizes no sub-teams, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and, Individual Developers may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belongs to the Developers as a whole.

11 / 30

For the past several sprints, the Scrum Master found that the team's burn-down chart used to slope downward gently, flattening toward the middle of the Sprint, and then rapidly declining to zero on the last day. How should the Scrum Master interpret this trend? (choose the best option)

There is no information provided about work getting added or removed to the sprint and even if that did happen (it is not allowed), the planned trajectory will also be changed. The most plausible explanation is that either they actually relax in the middle of the sprint or they do not update the hours. Since they seem to be getting stuff completed regularly, the most likely scenario is hours not getting updated.

12 / 30

A distributed team is practicing Agile. The team is spread across different locations and has a fairly high rate of turnover. One of the concerns that came up in the retrospectives is that the teams do not end up creating enough technical documentation to enable new team members to ramp up quickly. What is the best solution to address this issue? (choose the best option)

The Manifesto for Agile Software Development values "working software over comprehensive documentation". This core value asks us to think about how much and which kinds of documents are needed and when they need to be written. The goal in Agile should be to find the right balance between documentation and discussion.

13 / 30

Which two statements best describe a Sprint Goal? (Choose the best two options)

The number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely up to Developers. Only they can assess what it can accomplish over the upcoming Sprint. The Sprint Goal is an objective set for the Sprint that can be met through the implementation of the Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the Developers on why it is building the Increment. It is created during the Sprint Planning meeting. The Sprint Goal gives the Developers some flexibility regarding the functionality implemented within the Sprint. The selected Product Backlog items deliver one coherent function, which can be the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Goal can be any other coherence that causes the Developers to work together rather than on separate initiatives.

14 / 30

The CEO, a key stakeholder for your team's product, approaches you. He fears an important part of the product's envisioned features is not getting the needed priority. This uncertainty is worrying him deeply. How can you help the CEO? (choose the best two options)

The lack of transparency is best served by joining inspection during Sprint Review. As a stakeholder, the CEO should work with the Product Owner to make his expectations known.

15 / 30

Early into the planning of a release, a team felt they could not demonstrate any working system in the first three Sprints because the user interface would not be built until the fourth Sprint. What should you as the Scrum Master of the team recommend? (choose the best option)

Working software is the primary measure of progress as per the Agile principles, therefore the team must find a way to show a working system. Further, the coach should avoid dictating to the team how they should schedule their work but gently suggest to them that they need to find a way to showcase their work.

16 / 30

The product owner has asked the developers not to perform all of the testing listed in the definition of done to ensure the product is ready to release into production for a customer in 2 weeks' time. (choose the best two options)

It is likely that unknown errors will be released into production. This may result in instability issues with the product and lower customer satisfaction. The developers are professionals. It would be unprofessional to knowingly release poor-quality products.

17 / 30

In the middle of the sprint execution, a developer was required by his original manager to support an important task outside the sprint work. What is recommended for the team member to do? (choose the best option)

The team member should politely decline and explain to the manager about his ownership and accountability for the Scrum Team. Other than the backlog refinement, the developers should work on the tasks related to the sprint goal. If any external authority brings different work, the team should explain how they self-manage their work in Scrum way. After that, the team can refer them to speak with the Product owner if the external authority still wants to add this new work.

18 / 30

Sam is a developer within a scrum team. Sam believes that the top item in the product backlog is not very clear. He asks the other team members if they understand it. They have expressed to Sam that it does seem unclear and they are not able to help. What should you as a scrum master do? (choose the best option)

Sam should discuss his concerns with the product owner; if the product owner is unable to clarify then the item should not be chosen for the current sprint until the item can be clarified.

19 / 30

There are developers working on the Product with complex functionalities. They need a full-time external Java specialist for the upcoming sprint. As a scrum master, what will you consider while solving the problem? (choose the best two options)

Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value for each Sprint. They are also self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how. Java specialist does not belong to Scrum Team so Developers from Scrum Team with an interest in the Java domain step up to take on this work in their respective teams.

20 / 30

One week into a four-week sprint, the Developers have realized that they won't be able to deliver half of the Sprint Backlog items. The Product Owner is not happy with this, because the customer is expecting most of those features for a release at the end of the Sprint. What is the best course of action for the Scrum Master? (choose the best option)

The fact that it cannot deliver everything, is not a reason for canceling the Sprint. Sprints are only canceled when they don't make sense anymore. For example, the customer doesn't need the Sprint Backlog items anymore. When developers realize that they won't be able to deliver a high percentage of the items, it's a good idea for the Product Owner to check the sprint Backlog and make changes in the priorities (if needed), since items at the bottom of the Sprint Backlog will probably stay incomplete.
The Sprint Backlog is composed of the Sprint Goal (why), the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint (what), as well as an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (how). The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint in order to achieve the Sprint Goal. Consequently, the Sprint Backlog is updated throughout the Sprint as more is learned. It should have enough detail that they can inspect their progress in the Daily Scrum.

21 / 30

A team was trying to estimate a story using the Planning Poker technique. Linda, a junior developer, felt the story deserved a story point of 22, whereas Rex, a senior developer, felt it should be 8 . After multiple rounds of discussion, there was still no consensus. What should the Scrum Master do to resolve this conflict? (choose the best option)

Usually Scrum master considers the large estimate but in this case, it's 22 which should not be considered under a sprint. So you should seek the team's support to decide on this, as if it is large then it should be broken down to fit in a sprint.

22 / 30

You are the Scrum Master for four Scrum Teams working on one product. Several of the developers notify you that their teams will need the full-time help of an external technical specialist in the upcoming two Sprints. What key concerns should the Scrum Master take into account? (Choose the best option)

The Scrum Master needs to coach the Developers to work in a way that they don't depend on Mary and they can take ownership of this issue by themselves.

23 / 30

The CTO assigned Developers with similar skills into new teams that will work on the same product. He would like that each team can work and focus on a specific architectural layer of the Product. What are the positive or negative impacts of his decision? (Choose the best two options)

Developers are structured and empowered by the organization to organize and manage their own work. The resulting synergy optimizes the Developers' overall efficiency and effectiveness. Developers have the following characteristics: They are self-managing. No one (not even the Scrum Master) tells the Developers how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality; Developers are cross-functional, with all the skills as a team necessary to create a product Increment; Scrum recognizes no titles for Developers, regardless of the work being performed by the person; Scrum recognizes no sub-teams in the Developers, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and, Individual Developers may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belongs to the Developers as a whole.

24 / 30

A Senior Software Engineer and you have a talk over coffee. She tells you she thinks Scrum is really cool, but that it doesn't work for projects that require complex architecture decisions upfront. Being a Scrum ambassador, you respond by telling her that in Scrum: (choose the best two options)

Architecture emerges during the Sprints. It will likely need more attention in early sprints. A few of the other answers are somewhat right but do not explain the way Scrum looks at emergent architecture.

25 / 30

Kleopatra is a new Developer in a Scrum Team and she managed to complete a task that meets the Definition of Done even during her first week in the company. When the Product Owner released the Increment it broke something in the client's domain. What is true? (Choose the best four options)

As stated in the Scrum Guide an Increment is a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal. The Definition of Done creates transparency by providing everyone a shared understanding of what work was completed as part of the Increment. The increment is something that meets the Definition of Done. It's not Kleopatra's fault, if her work meets the Definition of Done, then it's part of the Increment. The issue is with the Definition of Done, it's not strong enough.

26 / 30

During a Sprint Planning meeting, the Product Owner and Developers agree on a Sprint Goal but they are unable to agree on the top priority Product Backlog items. As a result, the Developers are unable to anticipate how many Product Backlog items they might expect for the forthcoming Sprint. Which of the following actions should be supported by the Scrum Master? (choose the best option)

The Product Backlog refinement process was insufficient for producing Product Backlog items that could be readily understood and forecasted for a Sprint. Cancel the Sprint Planning meeting and ask everyone to spend as much time as needed analyzing the Product Backlog before reconvening for another Sprint Planning meeting.

27 / 30

True or False, During the Sprint Review of a scaled development effort, Developers of each Scrum Team should demonstrate their individual Increment in a separate branch of the code.

If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the Developers on all the Scrum Teams must mutually define the Definition of Done. Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly tested, ensuring that all Increments work together.

28 / 30

True or False, If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, all of the Scrum Teams must mutually define a Definition of Ready (DoR). The DoR is a checklist that the Product Owner must fulfill before a Product Backlog item can be presented at the Sprint Planning. This protects the Developers from interruptions and disruptions during the Sprint.

Product Backlog items should be clear enough and have enough information for the Product Owner and Development to understand the work that needs to be done and to create a forecast of Product Backlog items to implement the Sprint Goal. Nothing stops the flow of Sprints, for example, we do not delay the Sprint because the items are not ready. In such cases, the “unready” items would be selected for the Sprint anyway and refined during the Sprint. In the case that the Product Backlog items are not clear enough, the Developers forecasts the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the timebox for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, start the Sprint and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint. At the end of the Sprint, the Scrum Team can discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.

29 / 30

During the Sprint Retrospective, the Developers raised some problems. Coordination of meetings is an issue because some team members work from home and many members don't work full time. Some members strongly suggest having the Daily Scrum every other day to save time. As a Scrum Master, which would be your concerns? (Choose the best three options)

The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work. The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. To reduce complexity, it is held at the same time and place every working day of the Sprint. If the Product Owner or Scrum Master are actively working on items in the Sprint Backlog, they participate as Developers. Developers can select whatever structure and techniques they want, as long as their Daily Scrum focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal and produces an actionable plan for the next day of work. This creates focus and improves self-management. Daily Scrums improve communications, identify impediments, promote quick decision-making, and consequently eliminate the need for other meetings.

30 / 30

The director of engineering in your organization always stresses the importance of meeting deadlines in order for the engineering department to be seen as a reliable source for the product management department. The director has calculated that the team’s velocity needs to increase an additional 15% to meet the commitment he made to management for the release date of the product. He asks the Scrum Master, to increase his team’s velocity. Which would be the best two responses for Scrum Master to take? (Choose the best two options)

The Scrum Master serves the organization by helping employees and stakeholders understand and enact Scrum and empirical product development and causing a change that increases the productivity of the Scrum Team. So in this scenario, he/she should explain the use of velocity in the context of Scrum which is to forecast work rather than increase productivity. Also, the scrum master’s primary responsibility is to remove impediments and if it is at the organizational level then he/she should raise those to the appropriate authority and make it transparent to all stakeholders.
