Which two scenarios would best represent a self-organizing Development Team? (Choose two.)

  1. The Development Team members are strictly focused on the work within their functional role and always handing off the work to other roles in a timely matter.
  2. Management works with the Scrum Master to optimize the Development Team’s progress during the Sprint.
  3. Development Team members collaboratively select and re-plan their work throughout the Sprint.
  4. The Development Team invites external people to the Sprint Planning to help them create a complete and detailed Sprint Backlog.
  5. The Development Team creates its own Sprint Backlog, reflecting all work that is part of the Definition of Done.

Answer(s): C,E

Explanation:

A self-organized team is a team that is able to self-manage and decide how best to accomplish their work.



Steven is a Scrum Master of a Development Team that has members working in different cities and time zones. Organizing the Scrum events is time consuming and requires a lot of effort to set up and run. The Development Team proposes to only hold the Daily Scrum on Mondays.
Which two responses would be most appropriate from Steven? (Choose two.)

  1. Coach the team on why having a Daily Scrum every day is an important opportunity to update the Sprint plan and how it helps the team self-organize work toward achieving the Sprint Goal.
  2. Ensure that there is an overall consensus by having the Development Team members vote.
  3. Help the Development Team understand that lowering the frequency of communication will only increase the feeling of disconnect between the team members.
  4. Acknowledge and support their decision.

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum Team understands the purpose and value of the Scrum events. Because the Daily Scrum is owned by the Development Team, it will decide how best to run the event. And if needed the Scrum Master will coach the team to ensure thedecisions stay within the boundaries of the Scrum framework.



Steven is a Scrum Master of a Scrum Team that is new to Scrum. At the halfway point of the Sprint, the Product Owner comes to Steven telling him that he is concerned the Development Team will not be able to complete the entire Sprint Backlog by the end of the Sprint.What should Steven do in this situation?

  1. Motivate the Development Team to meet their commitment to the Product Owner.
  2. Coach the Product Owner that with complex software development, you cannot promise the entire scope that was forecast during Sprint Planning. As more is learned during the Sprint, work may emerge that affects the Sprint Backlog.
  3. Advise the Product Owner that the Development Team owns the Sprint Backlog and it is up to them to meet their commitments. No one tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality.
  4. Add more people to the Development Team to meet the Product Owner’s expectations.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. The Sprint Backlog is a forecast by the Development Team about what functionality will be in the next Increment and the work needed to deliver that functionality into a ‘Done’ Increment. 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.

Why C is incorrect:
a)The Dev Team does not commit to finishing all items in the Sprint Backlog. Committing to completing all items would be fixed scope and fixed time leaving no room to adapt. They commit to the Sprint Goal and doing the right thing.
b)It’s also incorrect for the PO to focus on completing the entire Sprint Backlog. Finishing everything should not be his main focus. Having a shippable increment that meets the Sprint Goal is more important than trying to finish everything. The advice in option C is equivalent to “Don’t worry, they’ll get everything done.” but because of the complex domain, you cannot guarantee everything will get done.



Scrum addresses which of the following four risks in software development? (Choose four.)

  1. The complexity and unpredictability of the requirements.
  2. The stability and complexity of the technology.
  3. The skills and working relationships of the people on the teams.
  4. The timescale of the planned work.
  5. The clear definitions of stages and gateways in the overall governance model.
  6. The definition of incentive and bonus strategies by HR for all team members.

Answer(s): A,B,C,D

Explanation:

Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products of the highest possible value. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk.
