In what two ways is velocity and technical debt related? (Choose two.)

  1. They are not related because technical debt is non-functional and velocity is calculated based on end user functionality.
  2. As the Development Team is working on new Product Backlog items, they may unexpectedly run into technical debt that will result the team’s velocity dropping.
  3. A Development Team can artificially increase velocity by allowing technical debt to be incurred.
  4. Adding estimates to technical debt will allow the Development Team to maintain constant velocity therefore ensuring predictability.

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

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 new Product Owner has joined an existing Scrum Team that has been working together for eight Sprints. The Development Team has grown to have a good understanding of the functionality and business for the product they have been building. The Product Owner, being new to the company, is unsure about his responsibilities.
As a Scrum Master explain what two acceptable ways of helping the Product Owner would be. (Choose two.)

  1. You advise the Product Owner to start building a good relationship with the stakeholders of the product. Ongoing interaction with them is important to regularly align with changing organizational or market expectations. The Product Owner is also expected to invite the right stakeholders to the Sprint Review meeting.
  2. You inform the Product Owner that, in today’s highly competitive markets, it is important that the Development Team is updated on changing business priorities on a daily basis. The Daily Scrum allows the Development Team to adapt to the changes in scope without delay.
  3. You tell the Product Owner to make sure that there are no ambiguities or possible misunderstandings in the items on the Product Backlog when they are handed over to the Development Team. This is best done by capturing the functional requirements during an analysis phase, resulting in documents that are considered as the working product of such analysis Sprints.
  4. You advise the Product Owner to rely on the Development Team and the stakeholders to formulate the Product Backlog, as they are the ones most knowledgeable. By asking questions and working with them the Product Owner will quickly be up to speed.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

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.



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 andpromote 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.
