During a Sprint Review, the Product Owner determines that she is going to release the current Increment to production. The stakeholders ask to stop the Sprint to react more quickly to the user feedback that is expected after this release. The Product Owner prefers to continue the Sprint to make progress with the next release. You facilitate a discussion on how to proceed. What are two acceptable results of this discussion? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): A,C
A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint. Delaying the start of the next Sprint interrupts progress and can reduce the Time-to-Market. Shortening the Sprint length allows the team to respond quicker to changes outside of the Sprint plan and while still allowing delivery of business value. Adding user feedback to the Product Backlog helps the Product Owner with ordering the backlog to maximize the flow of value.During the Sprint no changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal.
At the Sprint Planning, the Development Team is not able to forecast the number of Product Backlog items it can do in the upcoming Sprint due to unclear requirements. The Product Owner, however, was able to clearly define the business objective he hopes to achieve in the Sprint.Which of the following two actions would you support? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): A,D
All events are time-boxed events, such that every event has a maximum duration. The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal.

What are two ways in which technical debt relates to velocity? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): B,C
Technical debt is a natural occurrence when developing complex products. It is a concept in software development that reflects the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer. And how it is managed will depend on the team AND context of the situation.
A Scrum Team has been working together for nine Sprints. A new Product Owner comes in, unsure about his responsibilities.

The Product Owner however is relatively new to the company and to the product. What are two activities you would direct the new Product Owner towards focusing on? (Choose two.)
The ones that are closest to the work are the best ones to understand and explain what the work is and what the needs of the users and product are.
