Which statement best describes the Sprint Backlog as an outcome of the Sprint Planning? (Choose the best answer)

  1. It is a complete list of all work to be done in a Sprint.
  2. Each task is estimated in hours.
  3. It is the Developers' plan for the Sprint.
  4. Every item has a designated owner.
  5. It is ordered by the Product Owner.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Scrum Guide defines the Sprint Backlog as "a plan by and for the Developers" that includes selected Product Backlog items and a plan to deliver the Sprint Goal. Option C accurately reflects this ownership and purpose. Option A is too absolute--while it's a plan, it's not necessarily "complete" as it can evolve during the Sprint. Option B is incorrect--Scrum does not mandate hour-based estimates; estimation is up to the Developers' discretion. Option D is false--items don't require individual owners; the Developers collectively own the Sprint Backlog. Option E is wrong--the Product Owner orders the Product Backlog, not the Sprint Backlog, which is managed by the Developers. Thus, C is the best description.


Reference:

Scrum Guide (2020), Section: "Sprint Backlog."



Which two (2) metrics will help a Product Owner establish that value is being delivered? (Choose the best two answers)

  1. Time to market.
  2. Customer satisfaction.
  3. Velocity.
  4. Productivity.
  5. Budget spent.

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

The Product Owner's primary accountability is maximizing the value of the product, per the Scrum Guide. Metrics should reflect outcomes, not just internal process efficiency:

A (Time to market): Faster delivery of Increments to the market validates value through real-world feedback, a key Scrum principle.

B (Customer satisfaction): This directly measures whether the product meets user needs, aligning with value delivery.

C (Velocity): While useful for Developers to gauge capacity, it's an internal metric, not a direct indicator of value.

D (Productivity): This focuses on effort, not outcome, and isn't tied to value in Scrum.

E (Budget spent): Spending doesn't guarantee value; it's a cost metric, not a value metric.

Thus, A and B best help the Product Owner assess value.

Scrum Guide (2020), Section: "The Product Owner."



The Product Owner is accountable for the functionality included in each Increment. Does he or she have the final say over the definition of "Done"?

  1. Yes, the Product Owner is responsible for the definition of "Done". The Developers may be consulted.
  2. No, the Scrum Team is responsible for the definition of "Done". The Product Owner may be consulted.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Scrum Guide clarifies that the definition of "Done" is a shared commitment created by the Scrum Team: "The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product." While the Product Owner defines what goes into the Increment (via the Product Backlog), the definition of "Done" is a collaborative effort, often driven by the Developers' technical expertise and organizational standards, with input from the Product Owner on value and quality expectations. Option A incorrectly gives the Product Owner sole authority, while B correctly reflects the team's collective responsibility, with the Product Owner as a contributor, not the final arbiter.


Reference:

Scrum Guide (2020), Section: "Definition of Done."



Who is responsible for clearly expressing Product Backlog Items? (Choose the best answer)

  1. The Product Owner.
  2. The Scrum Master.
  3. The Scrum Master, or the Scrum Master may have the Developers do it.
  4. The business analyst who represents the Product Owner in the Developers.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Scrum Guide explicitly states: "The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes... clearly expressing Product Backlog items." This responsibility ensures that the items reflect stakeholder needs and are understandable to the Developers. Option B is incorrect--the Scrum Master facilitates and coaches, not manages the Product Backlog. Option C is wrong--neither the Scrum Master nor Developers are accountable for this; it's the Product Owner's role. Option D introduces a "business analyst" role, which isn't part of Scrum; the Product Owner directly handles this duty without delegation to a proxy. Thus, A is correct.

Scrum Guide (2020), Section: "The Product Owner."



The time-box for a Daily Scrum is? (Choose the best answer)

  1. The same time of day every day.
  2. Two minutes per person.
  3. 4 hours.
  4. 15 minutes.
  5. 15 minutes for a 4-week Sprint. For shorter Sprints it is usually shorter.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The Scrum Guide defines the Daily Scrum as a 15-minute time-boxed event: "The Daily Scrum is a 15- minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team." This duration is fixed regardless of Sprint length, ensuring consistency and focus on synchronizing work and identifying impediments. Option A refers to a scheduling practice, not the time-box. Option B is arbitrary and not Scrum-defined. Option C is far too long and contradicts the Scrum Guide. Option E incorrectly suggests variability based on Sprint length, which isn't supported--15 minutes is the standard. Thus, D is the correct answer.
