The time-box for a Daily Scrum?

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

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B, because the time-box for a Daily Scrum is 15 minutes. The Scrum Guide states that "the Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours."



Which phrase best describes a Product Owner?

  1. Go-between development team and customers.
  2. Value optimizer.
  3. Requirements engineer.
  4. Team manager.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B, because a Product Owner is best described as a value optimizer. The Scrum Guide states that "the Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the Development Team." Therefore, a Product Owner should focus on delivering value to the customers and stakeholders through the product.



The length of a Sprint should be:

  1. Short enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner.
  2. Short enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events.
  3. No more than one calendar month.
  4. All of these answers are correct.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide1, the heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a time-box of one month or less during which a "Done", useable, and potentially releasable product Increment is created. Sprints have consistent durations throughout a development effort. A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint. The length of a Sprint should be short enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner, short enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events, and no more than one calendar month.

During a Sprint Retrospective, for what is the Product Owner responsible?

  1. Participating as a Scrum Team member.
  2. Summarizing and reporting the discussions to the stakeholders that he/she represents in the Scrum Team.
  3. Capturing requirements for the Product Backlog.
  4. The Product Owner should not take part in Sprint Retrospectives.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide1, the Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint. The Sprint Retrospective occurs after the Sprint Review and prior to the next Sprint Planning. The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase quality and effectiveness. The Product Owner is part of the Scrum Team and should participate as a Scrum Team member in the Sprint Retrospective.

Scrum Guide



Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach.

A good way to continue is:

  1. The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as "Done" as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, so it doesn't mess up the Product Backlog.
  2. Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made.
  3. The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. The produced software is not usable. As the rules of Scrum have not been respected, it is the Scrum Master's duty to assess whether repair is possible, or a restart with a more reliable team. If not, the Scrum Master should cancel the project.
  4. The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which the remaining work can be done.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide1, each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together. In order to provide value, the Increment must be usable. Multiple Increments may be created within a Sprint. The sum of the Increments is presented at the Sprint Review thus supporting empiricism. However, an Increment may be delivered to stakeholders prior to the end of the Sprint. The Sprint Review should never be considered a gate to releasing value. Therefore, a good way to continue is for the Development Team to make sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as "Done" as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, so it doesn't mess up the Product Backlog.
