Steven, the Scrum Master, is approached by one of the Development Team members saying that they are not completing regression tests for all of the work they are performing to the level defined in the Definition of Done. They have discussed this with the Product Owner and decided to remove regression testing from the Definition of Done.

  1. Reject the decision as the long term maintainability of the product will be negatively impacted by modifying the Definition of Done.
  2. Accept the decision as a mutual agreement has been made between the Development Team and the Product Owner.
  3. Ask the Development Team and the Product Owner what problem they are trying to solve by altering the Definition of Done and removing regression testing from it. In what ways will this decision impact transparency and quality?

  3. The scope changes have not been tracked adequately and the change request process has not been followed properly.
  4. The stakeholders have not been using the Daily Scrum effectively to track the Development Team’s progress.
  5. The Scrum Master has not ensured transparency.
  6. The project plan proposed to the sponsors at the start of the project followed stringently.

Answer(s): A,B,E

Explanation:

One of the principles of agility includes working closely with business people. In order to manage stakeholder expectation, there must be open communication (through collaboration and transparency) throughout the project cycle. This maximizes alignment, helps with making business decisions, and reduces risk.
Although, the Scrum Guide does not directly state that the Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring transparency it is implicit. The Scrum Master is responsible for the process in which Scrum is adopted and enacted. Scrum is founded on empiricism and the Scrum Master helps those inside and outside the team work in an empirical environment which includes transparency (one of the three pillars of empiricism).



Three Development Teams are currently building a single product and pulling work from the same Product Backlog. All three teams have identified that they will need Dan, a database specialist, to work full time in their team for the next several Sprints.
What should Steven, the Scrum Master, do to solve this potential problem?

  1. Manage the items in the Sprint Backlogs so that Dan can be utilized evenly for each team.
  2. Assign Dan to the team with the most urgent tasks first and then move him to the next team and so on until the required support is completed.
  3. Facilitate a discussion with all Development Teams on how they want to deal with this issue, and help them implement their preferred solution.
