A new member has just joined an existing Development Team that has been together for several Sprints. During the Sprint, the individual has been trying to share his ideas and viewpoints but is continuously ignored by the rest of the Development Team.Which three Scrum Values has the Development Team been neglecting? (Choose three.)
Answer(s): B,E,F
The Scrum Team members have courage to do the right thing and work on challenging problems. The Scrum Team agree to be open (to speak and listen) about all the work and the challenges with performing the work.Scrum Team members respect each other's skills, experience, and opinions.
Which two behaviors would reflect Servant Leadership in a Scrum Master? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): A,B
The Scrum Master is responsible for serving the team by facilitating and removing impediments to ensure there are minimal roadblocks in the way of the team. The Scrum Master also coaches the Scrum Team and organization to ensure the benefits of Scrum is realized."Removing every impediment for the Development Team" may seem like the right thing to do but by doing it this way, the Dev Team's ability to self-organize would be limited. There are some impediments that will depend solely on the Scrum Master and there will be some that require collaboration with the Dev Team. The former might be working with the finance department to renew services that the team is using. The latter might be lack of skills to make a particular item done. The Scrum Master can coach the team on finding different solutions to resolve the issue."Removing impediments" is good. "Removing every impediment for the Development Team" is not so good and sometimes not even possible.
Collaboration issues and technical dependencies between multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product can be fully resolved by using the correct version control tools.
Answer(s): B
When working on complex problems in complex environments, it cannot be guaranteed that applying a specific process or tool will fix the problem. Although, process and tools are important it's more important that people collaborate and try to find different solutions together and not rely solely on a tool to fix the problem.
Which two statements are the most accurate in regards to scaling Scrum for large projects requiring multiple Scrum Teams? (Choose two.)
A person or team working on a single problem at a time is typically more effective than one that is working on multiple problems congruently as they can fully focus and dedicate their energy to resolving the problem before moving to the next. Having a well-structured Product Backlog can help minimize dependencies and increase focus for each team.
Your Scrum Team has been working together for over a dozen Sprints. The Scrum Team consists of 10 members. Each Sprint takes four weeks. As a Scrum Master, you observe that the Developers are hardly collaborating; during the Sprint members are primarily working on their own items. You also notice that the items on the Sprint Backlog are mostly unrelated. You suspect that the lack of a Sprint Goal might be the cause.Although you have encouraged the use of a Sprint Goal, both the Product Owner and the Developers have concluded that they are unable to create Sprint Goals based on the wide variety of items on their Product Backlog.What might explain why this Scrum Team is struggling to craft a Sprint Goal? (Choose all that apply.)
Answer(s): B,C,D
Many people misinterpret the Scrum Guide as stating the Development Team size is limited to 3-9 members.In reality, it only states that there is inherent risk attached to having less than 3 members and more than 9 members. As the number of members increases, the lines of communication also increase. This can be calculated using the Group intercommunication formula: n(n - 1) / 2 where n is the number of members.Some teams are able to handle the risk and "synergize" whereas others might struggle. Saying that, the relationship between defining a Sprint Goal and Development Team size is unclear.But the relationship between the ordering of the Product Backlog, the PO having clear objectives, and the Sprint Goal are direct. The Product Owner typically comes to the Sprint Planning with a business objective in mind and Product Backlog items related to the business objective. After deciding what can be done for the upcoming Sprint, the Scrum Team will craft a Sprint Goal that would be met through the implementation of the items. This is not dependent on the size of the team nor length of the Sprint.Scrum is also a framework that's fit for purpose. Some projects/products are not fit for Scrum... or, better stated, Scrum is not suitable for all projects/products.
