When many Scrum Teams are working on the same product, should all of their increments be integrated every Sprint?

  1. Yes, but only for Scrum Teams whose work has dependencies.
  2. Yes, otherwise the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.
  3. No, each Scrum Team stands alone.
  4. No, that is far too hard and must be done in a hardening Sprint.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B, because the Scrum Guide states that "at the end of a Sprint, the new Increment must be `Done, ' which means it must be in useable condition and meet the Scrum Team's definition of `Done'. An increment is a body of inspectable, done work that supports empiricism at the end of the Sprint. The increment is a step toward a vision or goal." Therefore, all the increments from different Scrum Teams working on the same product should be integrated every Sprint to enable inspection and adaptation by the Product Owner and stakeholders.



What is the accountability of the Product Owner during Sprint 0? (Choose the best answer.)

  1. There is no such thing as Sprint 0.
  2. Gathering, eliciting, and analyzing the requirements that will be inserted into the Product Backlog.
  3. Make the complete project plan to commit date, budget, and scope to the stakeholders.
  4. Determine the composition of the Development Teams so they have the capacity to deliver the completed forecast.
  5. Make sure enough Product Backlog items are refined to fill the first 3 Sprints.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

There is no such thing as Sprint 0 in Scrum, as stated in [7]: "Sprint 0 is a term used by some people who use Scrum to describe an initial period before starting Sprints where they do some upfront planning or analysis. However, this is not part of Scrum and contradicts its principles of empirical process control, iterative delivery, and responding to change."



At the seventh Sprint Review, the stakeholders are disappointed and angry. They have determined that the product or system being built will not meet their needs and will cost more than they are willing to spend.
What factors likely led to this? (Choose two.)

  1. The Project Management Office (PMO) has not been engaged adequately.
  2. The Product Owner has not been keeping the stakeholders aware of the progress of the project.
  3. The stakeholders haven't been using the Sprint Reviews to inspect and evaluate progress.
  4. The stakeholders were not allowed to enter the development area.

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, the Sprint Review is a time for the Scrum Team and the stakeholders to inspect the product Increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed. The Product Owner is responsible for keeping the stakeholders aware of the progress of the project and inviting them to the Sprint Review. If the Product Owner has not been doing this, or if the stakeholders have not been using the Sprint Review to inspect and evaluate progress, then they may be disappointed and angry at the seventh Sprint Review. The other options are not likely factors that led to this situation, as they are either irrelevant (such as the PMO or the development area) or incorrect (such as delaying the release).



Every Scrum Team must have a Product Owner and Scrum Master. (Choose the best answer.)

  1. True. Outcomes affected by their participation and availability.
  2. False. A Product Owner can be replaced by a subject matter expert in the Scrum Team.
  3. False. A Scrum Master is only required when asked for by the Scrum Team.
  4. True. Each must be 100% dedicated to the Scrum Team.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, every Scrum Team must have a Product Owner and a Scrum Master, as they are essential roles for Scrum. The outcomes of the Scrum Team are affected by their participation and availability, as they provide guidance, support, and facilitation to the Development

Team and the stakeholders. The other options are false, as they imply that a Product Owner or a Scrum Master can be replaced or optional, which is not consistent with Scrum.



Which two things should the Development Team do during the first Sprint? (Choose two.)

  1. Make up a plan for the rest of the project.
  2. Analyze, describe, and document the requirements for the subsequent Sprints.
  3. Develop at least one piece of functionality.
  4. Define the major product features and release plan architecture
  5. Create an increment of potentially releasable software.

Answer(s): C,E

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, the Development Team should do two things during the first Sprint:
develop at least one piece of functionality and create an increment of potentially releasable software. These are the goals of every Sprint, regardless of its order. The other options are not things that the Development Team should do during the first Sprint, as they are either out of scope (such as making a plan for the rest of the project or defining major product features and release plan architecture) or unnecessary (such as analyzing, describing, and documenting requirements for subsequent Sprints).
