Who is responsible for engaging the stakeholders?

  1. The Business Analyst.
  2. The Development Team.
  3. The Team Manager.
  4. The Project Manager.
  5. The Product Owner.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

The Product Owner is responsible for engaging the stakeholders, as stated in the Scrum Guide1: "The Product Owner is one person, not a committee. The Product Owner may represent the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog, but those wanting to change a Product Backlog item's priority must address the Product Owner."



How much work must a Development Team do to a Product Backlog item it selects for a Sprint?

  1. A proportional amount of time on analysis, design, programming, testing, and documentation.
  2. As much as it can fit into the Sprint. Any remaining work will be transferred to a subsequent Sprint.
  3. All development work and at least some testing.
  4. As much as it has told the Product Owner will be done for every Product Backlog item it selects in conformance with the definition of "Done".

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The Development Team must do as much work as it has told the Product Owner will be done for every Product Backlog item it selects in conformance with the definition of "Done", as stated in the Scrum Guide1: "The Development Team works to forecast the functionality that will be developed during the Sprint. The Product Owner discusses the objective that the Sprint should achieve and the Product Backlog items that, if completed in the Sprint, would achieve the Sprint Goal. The entire

Scrum Team collaborates on understanding the work of the Sprint."



Which statement best describes the Sprint Backlog as outcome of the Sprint Planning?

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

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The Sprint Backlog is the Development Team's plan for the Sprint, as stated in the Scrum Guide1:
"The Sprint Backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the Daily Scrum. The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint."



What does it mean for a Development Team to be cross-functional?

  1. The Development Team includes not only developers but also business analysts, architects, and testers.
  2. The Development Team includes cross-skilled individuals who are able to contribute to do what is necessary to deliver an increment of software.
  3. Developers on the Development Team work closely with business analysts, architects, developers and testers who are not on the team.
  4. The Development Team is a virtual team drawing from separate teams of business analysts, architects, developers and testers.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A cross-functional Development Team is one that includes cross-skilled individuals who are able to contribute to do what is necessary to deliver an increment of software, as stated in the Scrum Guide1: "Cross-functional teams have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team."



Sprint burndown charts are an efficient tracking tool, because they show:

  1. An estimate of the total work remaining for the Sprint.
  2. How much effort has gone into a Sprint.
  3. How many hours have been worked by each Development Team member.
  4. How many Product Backlog items remain.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A Sprint burndown chart shows an estimate of the total work remaining for the Sprint, as stated in 3:
"A sprint burndown chart tracks work remaining in a sprint. It shows how much work remains at any given point during a sprint. It helps teams monitor whether they will finish all planned tasks by the end of a sprint."
