After several Sprints, a key stakeholder starts using the product. The stakeholder is surprised by the slow performance and complains to the Product Owner. The Product Owner comes to the Scrum Master asking for advice.What is the best action for a Scrum Master to take?

  1. Wait until the next Sprint Retrospective as it is the most opportune time to modify the Definition of Done.
  2. Bring the concern to the testers in the Development Team and ask them to include performance testing.
  3. Explain to the Product Owner that it’s up to the Development Team to. decide on acceptable performance standards as they own the Definition of Done.
  4. Encourage the Product Owner to bring the performance concerns to the Development Team and work with them on how to improve performance, and ultimately have stronger Definition of Done.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The highest priority of agility is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Because the Development Team is the one doing the work and increments must meet performance standards, they can expand their Definition of Done to include more stringent criteria for higher quality.



During the Sprint Review, the Product Owner decides to release the current Increment to production. The stakeholders suggest temporarily delaying the next Sprint in order to respond more quickly to user feedback after the release. The Product Owner prefers to continue to the next Sprint and make progress towards the next release. Steven, the Scrum Master, begins facilitating the discussion.
What would be two acceptable outcomes of the discussion? (Choose two.)

  1. Continue with the Sprints and include the customer feedback in the Product Backlog.
  2. Delay the next Sprint to allow the Development Team to work on new customer feedback.
  3. Continue with the Sprints but shorten the Sprint time-boxes to allow for shorter feedback loops.
  4. Continue with the Sprints but allow the Sprint Goal within the Sprint to change according to the customer feedback.

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

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.)

  1. The Development Team forecasts the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the business objective and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the time- box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, they start implementation and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.
  2. If all agree they can extend the Sprint Planning until the Development Team can forecast enough Product Backlog items before starting the implementation.
  3. Allow the Development Team members as much time as needed to review the Product Backlog items and reconvene with the Product Owner when they are confident enough to make a forecast for the Sprint.
  4. They discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to occur again.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

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.



Steven is a Scrum Master on a new Scrum Team.
What would be the best way for him to determine if the Product Owner is interacting enough with the Development Team during a Sprint?

  1. Check whether the Product Owner is actively engaged at the Daily Scrums.
  2. Check whether the Increment presented at the Sprint Review meets the Product Owner’s expectations.
  3. See whether the Product Owner has provided enough information at the Sprint Planning to make his/her presence optional during the Sprint. The level of autonomy within Development Team can be the result of having the right presence from the Product Owner.
  4. The Product Owner must always be present with the Development Team. Unavailability of the Product Owner is prohibited in Scrum.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Outcomes of the Scrum Team are affected by the Product Owner’s participation and availability. During a Sprint he/she is responsible for answering questions from the Development Team about items in the current Sprint and optimizing the value of the work the Development Team does.
