Who is accountable for tracking the remaining work toward the Sprint Goal? (Choose the best answer.)

  1. The Developers.
  2. The Scrum Master.
  3. The Product Owner.
  4. The Project Manager.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, the Developers are accountable for tracking the remaining work toward the Sprint Goal, as they are responsible for creating a valuable Increment that meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. The other options are not valid, as they imply that someone else outside the Development Team (such as the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, or the Project Manager) is accountable for tracking the remaining work, which is not consistent with Scrum values and principles.



Which approach is best for Scrum Teams in order to produce valuable Increments? (Choose the best answer.)

  1. Each Developer works on the component where they feel that they can contribute.
  2. Each Scrum Team is accountable for developing functionality from beginning to end.
  3. Each Scrum Team works on an independent set of components.
  4. Each Scrum Member works only as an independent layer of the system.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, the best approach for Scrum Teams in order to produce valuable Increments is to have each Developer work on the component where they feel that they can contribute. This means that the Developers can self-organize and collaborate effectively to deliver a valuable Increment that meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. The other options are not valid approaches, as they either imply that the Developers work in silos or rely on external people (such as developing functionality from beginning to end, working on an independent set of components, or working only as an independent layer of the system).



Who is accountable for clearly expressing Product Backlog items? (Choose the best answer.)

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

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, the Product Owner is accountable for clearly expressing Product Backlog items, as he or she is responsible for managing and prioritizing the Product Backlog. The other options are not valid, as they imply that the Product Owner can be replaced by a business analyst, or that the Scrum Master or the Developers can express the Product Backlog items.



An organization has decided to adopt Scrum, but management wants to change the terminology to fit with terminology already used.
What will likely happen if this is done? (Choose the best answer.)

  1. Without a new vocabulary as a reminder of the change, very little change may actually happen.
  2. The organization may not understand what has changed within Scrum and the benefits of Scrum may be lost.
  3. Management may feel less anxious.
  4. All answers apply.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, changing the terminology of Scrum may have negative consequences, such as losing the benefits of Scrum, not understanding what has changed, or having very little change at all. Therefore, all answers apply to this question. The Scrum Guide recommends using the same terminology as in the guide to avoid confusion and misunderstanding.



Which three of the following are time-boxed events in Scrum? (Choose the best three answers.)

  1. Release Planning.
  2. Release Retrospective.
  3. Sprint Retrospective.
  4. Sprint Planning.
  5. Sprint Testing.
  6. Sprint 0.
  7. Daily Scrum.

Answer(s): C,D,G

Explanation:

According to the Scrum Guide, the time-boxed events in Scrum are Sprint Retrospective, Sprint Planning, and Daily Scrum. These events have a maximum duration that cannot be exceeded. The other options are not time-boxed events in Scrum, as they are either not part of Scrum (such as Release Planning, Release Retrospective, Sprint Testing, and Sprint 0) or not events at all (such as Definition of Done).
