If burndown charts are used to visualize progress, what does a trendline through a release burndown chart indicate?

  1. When all work will be completed so the Scrum Team can start work on a new Product Backlog.
  2. When the project will be over if the Product Owner removes work that is equal in effort to any new work that is added.
  3. When the work remaining is projected to be completed if nothing changes on the Product Backlog or Development Team.
  4. The evolution of the return of investment on the project.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The trendline is based on the team's average velocity and the projective completion to zero is based on the team's velocity. The burndown chart is a helpful tool for Development Teams to self-manage BUT it is not mandatory as the teams will decide the best way to manage their own progress and promote transparency.



What is a good way for a Scrum Team to ensure that security concerns are addressed and transparent?

  1. Add Security Sprints to resolve security concerns when needed.
  2. Have the Scrum Team create Product Backlog items for each concern and/or add security concerns to the definition of "Done".
  3. Create a separate backlog for security items and only work on the items when a specialist becomes available.
  4. Delegate the work to an external team.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Product Backlog and the Definition of "Done" are artifacts that promote transparency.



Technical Debt can lead to false assumptions about the current state of the system and the Increment reviewed at the end of the Sprint.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Technical debt is any shortcomings in the code. It is a natural by-product of software development (unavoidable) and can at best be managed. If neglected, it will compound and have a negative effect on the team's ability to the deliver value. A team can have an artificially high velocity by taking shortcuts or introducing technical, debt into the system. This can give a false assumption about the current state of the product. It can look good on the surface but underneath can be a mess.



When technical debt occurs, the system will become more unstable as development progresses and code is added resulting in future work being slowed down.

  1. True
  2. False
