Which topics should be discussed in the Sprint Review?

  1. The Scrum process, and how it was used during the Sprint.
  2. Coding and engineering practices.
  3. Sprint results.
  4. All of the above.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

All of the above topics should be discussed in the Sprint Review, as stated in [4]: "The purpose of this meeting is to inspect what was delivered during this sprint and adapt what we want to deliver next.
This means we will discuss three things:
What did we do this sprint?
How did we do it?
What do we want to do next?"



A member of the Development Team takes the Scrum Master aside to express his concerns about data security issues.
What should the Scrum Master do?

  1. Add security to the definition of "Done".
  2. Tell the Product Owner to stop further development of features until the issues are fixed.
  3. Create a Product Backlog item for security.
  4. Go check with the testers.
  5. Ask the person to share the issue with the team as soon as possible.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

The Scrum Master should ask the person to share the issue with the team as soon as possible, as stated in [5]: "The Scrum Master should encourage transparency and collaboration within the team and with other stakeholders. If there is a concern about data security issues, it should be brought up to the team and discussed openly. The team can then decide how to handle it, whether by creating a Product Backlog item, updating the definition of "Done", or taking some other action."



The Product Backlog is ordered by:

  1. The Product Owner with the most valuable items placed at the top.
  2. Risk, where safer items are at the top, and riskier items are at the bottom.
  3. Items are randomly arranged.
  4. Size, where small items ale at the top and large items are at the bottom.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Product Backlog is ordered by the Product Owner with the most valuable items placed at the top, as stated in [6]: "The Product Owner is responsible for ordering items on their product backlog based on their value to customers and users. Value can be measured by various factors, such as business value, customer satisfaction, risk reduction, learning opportunities, etc. The most valuable items are placed at the top of the product backlog so that they can be delivered sooner by the development team."



What happens if the Development Team cannot complete its work by the end of the Sprint?

  1. The Sprint is extended and future Sprints use this new duration.
  2. The Sprint length holds and the Development Team continuously learns what is actually possible to do within a Sprint of this length.
  3. The Sprint is extended temporarily. Lessons are taken to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If the Development Team cannot complete its work by the end of the Sprint, then the Sprint length holds and the Development Team continuously learns what is actually possible to do within a Sprint of this length, as stated in [7]: "If a Development Team determines it has overcommitted itself for a Sprint, one option is to collaborate with the Product Owner to negotiate removing or reducing scope. Another option is to simply work hard and do its best, without cutting quality or pressuring individuals. In either case, the Development Team learns from its experience and uses this learning when planning future Sprints."



User documentation is part of your definition of "Done". However, there aren't enough technical writers for all teams. Your Development Team doesn't have a technical writer.
What should you do?

  1. Form a separate team of technical writers that will work on an on-demand basis for the various Product Owners. Work order will be first in, first out.
  2. Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by any available technical writers.
  3. Wait until you have a technical writer on your Development Team to take care of this.
  4. Your Development Team is still responsible for creating user documentation. In this case, the Development Team members will write it.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, the Development Team is responsible for creating a "Done" Increment that meets the Definition of "Done". User documentation is part of the Definition of "Done" in this scenario, so the Development Team must create it. The other options are not consistent with Scrum values and principles, such as self-organization, cross-functionality, and empiricism.
