Professional Scrum Master II Questions 71–75 (page: 16)

Updated On: 10-Feb-2026

An organization is using Scrum to build five new products.

What would be the best two options for the number of Product Owners the organization should have? (Choose two.)

  1. There is one Product Owner for each product (so five in total). Each Product Owner may delegate, share and align work within their individual Product Backlog.
  2. Enough Product Owners to delegate as much work needed to maximize utilization of all Development Team members.
  3. There is one Product Owner responsible for all five products. This person is not allowed to delegate any of the Product Owner responsibilities as he/she is accountable for the success of each product.
  4. There is one Product Owner responsible for all five products. In order to scale his/her role, he/she can delegate some of the individual Product Owner responsibilities to others within each product but would still remain accountable for the value of the work produced.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for maximizing the value of the product through the ordering and management of the Product Backlog. This reduces complexity in communication and understanding who to go to when there are questions about the product. The Product Owner may delegate his/her responsibilities but still remains accountable for the outcome of those responsibilities.



Your company has notified the stakeholders that they will be delivering the first release of a new product within ten Sprints. On the seventh Sprint, the Scrum Team discovers that they will not be able to include all of the expected features within the first release. The Product Owner believes if they remove some items from the Definition of Done they will be able to accelerate the development process. The Development Team objects to this idea as it will lead to technical debt.

As a Scrum Master, what would be the best two ways to explain to the Product Owner the impact of technical debt? (Choose two.)

  1. As long as there is still technical debt in the current release, feature development for the next release cannot be started. The Product Owner must first agree to this impact before allowing changes to the Definition of Done.
  2. Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as development progresses and functionality is added. The system can become more difficult to stabilize as work progresses. Development for the actual release as well as future releases will be slowed down in unpredictable ways.
  3. Releasing the version upon a reduced Definition of Done creates false assumptions about the actual state of the system. This will create many interruptions during the development of the next release as fixes will need to be done to the previous release caused from a reduction of quality.
  4. The amount of technical debt will need to be analyzed in order to understand the impact on subsequent releases in order to allocate additional Sprints at the end of the project.

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

The Definition of Done helps the Scrum Team have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency. The Definition of Done is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment. It also ensures that the work that is done is in usable condition and meets the Development Teams quality standards for future sustainability.



You are the Scrum Master for three Scrum Teams working on the same product. There is a single Product Backlog that all three Scrum Teams select from. Management is eager to improve the productivity of the teams and wants to standardize velocity across all three teams so that they can see how each team is delivering value.
When responding to management, which two statements are appropriate? (Choose two.)

  1. Velocity has no direct relationship with value.
  2. Standardizing velocity across teams can help with understanding which teams are creating more value.
  3. Incentivizing teams based on velocity can boost the Scrum Team's motivation to create more value.
  4. Velocity is the amount of business functionality that a Scrum Team creates in a Sprint. It is unique to that team and used as an input to Sprint Planning.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Working software is the primary measure of progress. Scrum is based on empirical process control theory where delivering working software frequently and measuring the impact helps the Product Owner maximize opportunity for the business to deliver value.



Which approach would you recommend to ensure that the Product Backlog items discussed at Sprint Planning are well understood, actionable, and easier to forecast?

  1. Having a separate group of business analysts and functional testers analyzing high-ordered Product Backlog items before Sprint Planning.
  2. Having the Product Owner work with stakeholders between the end of the last Sprint and before beginning the next to prepare the Product Backlog items so not to interrupt the Development Team.
  3. Having the business analysts in the Development Team create the upcoming Product Backlog items during a Sprint and adding them to the next Sprint's forecast.
  4. Having the Development Team use some time during each Sprint to help the Product Owner analyze, estimate, and design items at the top of the Product Backlog that is projected to be worked on in the upcoming Sprint.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog.
This is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items. During Product Backlog refinement, items are reviewed and revised. The Scrum Team decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team. However, Product Backlog items can be updated at any time by the Product Owner or at the Product Owner's discretion.



During the Sprint Review of a scaled development effort, each Scrum Team should demonstrate its individual Increment separately.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the Development Teams on all the Scrum Teams must mutually define the definition of "Done". Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly tested, ensuring that all Increments work together.
