  1. Creating financial reporting upon the spent hours reported by the Developers.
  2. Collaborating with stakeholders, users, and customers.
  3. Updating the work plan for the Developers on a daily basis.
  4. Working with the Scrum Team on Product Backlog refinement.
  5. Nothing.
  6. Attending every Daily Scrum to answer questions about the Sprint Backlog items.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the right time. A Sprint is a timebox of one month or less within which a "Done" product Increment is created. A Sprint consists of the Sprint Planning, Daily Scrums, the development work, the Sprint Review, and the Sprint Retrospective. A Sprint is also a feedback loop that allows the Scrum Team and the stakeholders to inspect and adapt the product and the process. During a Sprint, a Product Owner is typically responsible for:
Collaborating with stakeholders, users, and customers: The Product Owner engages in frequent and regular interactions with the people who have a stake or interest in the product, such as customers, users, sponsors, managers, or other teams. The Product Owner solicits and incorporates their input, feedback, and insights to understand their needs and expectations, discover new opportunities or ideas, align and collaborate on the product direction and priorities, and validate and deliver value to them.
Working with the Scrum Team on Product Backlog refinement: The Product Owner works closely with the Developers to clarify, refine, and review the Product Backlog items and their acceptance criteria. The Product Owner provides clear and concise descriptions of what is needed and why it is valuable for each Product Backlog item. The Product Owner also empowers and trusts the Developers to make technical decisions and trade-offs that best meet the product goals and quality standards. The Product Owner also involves key stakeholders in defining and prioritizing the Product Backlog items and their acceptance criteria.
The other options are not valid or relevant responsibilities of a Product Owner during a Sprint. They are either too administrative, micromanaging, or unrelated to the product value delivery. They are:
Creating financial reporting upon the spent hours reported by the Developers: This is not a responsibility of a Product Owner during a Sprint. This is an administrative task that does not contribute to the value or quality of the product or service delivered. It may also create unnecessary overhead or bureaucracy for the Developers. The Product Owner should focus on maximizing value rather than tracking hours.
Updating the work plan for the Developers on a daily basis: This is not a responsibility of a Product Owner during a Sprint. This is a micromanaging task that does not respect the self-organization or cross-functionality of the Developers. The Developers are responsible for planning and executing their own work during a Sprint, based on their empirical experience and collaboration. The Developers also update their progress daily during the Daily Scrum event. Nothing: This is not a valid answer for a Product Owner's responsibility during a Sprint. A Product Owner has many important responsibilities during a Sprint, as mentioned above. A Product Owner should be actively involved in collaborating with stakeholders, users, customers, and Developers throughout a Sprint to maximize value delivery.
Attending every Daily Scrum to answer questions about the Sprint Backlog items: This is not a mandatory responsibility of a Product Owner during a Sprint. The Daily Scrum is an event for the Developers to inspect their progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt their plan for the next 24 hours. The Daily Scrum is not a status meeting or a reporting session for anyone else. The Product Owner may attend the Daily Scrum as an observer or as an invited participant if they have something valuable to contribute or if they need some clarification from the Developers.

True or False: All planned work for the Product done by the Scrum Team must originate from the Product Backlog.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of truth for the Scrum Team and the stakeholders. It contains all the requirements, features, functions, enhancements, fixes, and anything else that can deliver value to the customers and users of the product.
The Product Owner is accountable for managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the right time. The Developers are accountable for creating a "Done" Increment that meets the Definition of Done each Sprint. The Developers are responsible for planning and executing the Sprint Backlog, designing and building the product functionality, testing and improving the product quality, and delivering a potentially releasable Increment. The Developers work closely with the Product Owner to understand and clarify the Product Backlog items, provide feedback and estimates, and suggest improvements and innovations.
All planned work for the Product done by the Scrum Team must originate from the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not work on anything that is not in the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not add or remove anything from the Product Backlog without consulting with the Product Owner. The Scrum Team does not accept or implement any requests or changes that are not in the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not create any other artifacts or documents that are not derived from or related to the Product Backlog.

True or False: A Product Owner with multiple teams working on one product should maintain separate Product Backlogs for each team.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In Scrum, there is only one product and one Product Backlog for a given product. The Product Backlog is the single source of truth for the Scrum Team and the stakeholders. It contains all the requirements, features, functions, enhancements, fixes, and anything else that can deliver value to the customers and users of the product. The Product Backlog is ordered by the Product Owner based on the product vision, goals, and value.
Having multiple Product Backlogs for one product would create confusion, duplication, inconsistency, and waste. It would also make it harder to align the Scrum Teams and the stakeholders on the same product direction and priorities. Therefore, a Product Owner with multiple teams working on one product should not maintain separate Product Backlogs for each team. The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the right time. In some cases, when there are multiple Scrum Teams working on one product, it may be necessary to have some form of scaling or coordination mechanism to ensure alignment and collaboration among the teams. However, this does not mean that there should be multiple Product Owners or Product Backlogs. Instead, there should be ways to facilitate communication, feedback, integration, and transparency among the teams and with the Product Owner. For example, some frameworks or practices that can help with scaling Scrum are Nexus, LeSS, SAFe, or Scrum of Scrums.

Who should make sure everyone on the Scrum Team does their tasks for the Sprint? (choose the best answer)

  1. The Project Manager.
  2. The Product Owner.
  3. The Scrum Master.
  4. The Scrum Team.
  5. All of the above.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The Scrum Team is a self-organizing and cross-functional team that delivers valuable products in an agile way. The Scrum Team consists of one Product Owner, one Scrum Master, and Developers. They are all accountable for creating a valuable, useful, and potentially releasable product Increment each Sprint.
The Scrum Team is responsible for making sure everyone on the Scrum Team does their tasks for the Sprint. The Scrum Team does not rely on any external authority, manager, or leader to assign or monitor their work. The Scrum Team collaborates and coordinates their work as one unit, without any hand-offs or silos. The Scrum Team also inspects and adapts their work based on empirical evidence and feedback.
The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the right time. The Developers are accountable for creating a "Done" Increment that meets the Definition of Done each Sprint. The Developers are responsible for planning and executing the Sprint Backlog, designing and building the product functionality, testing and improving the product quality, and delivering a potentially releasable Increment. The Developers work closely with the Product Owner to understand and clarify the Product Backlog items, provide feedback and estimates, and suggest improvements and innovations.
The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. The Scrum Master does this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the organization.
The other options are not valid or relevant answers for who should make sure everyone on the Scrum Team does their tasks for the Sprint. They are either nonexistent or irrelevant roles in Scrum. They are:

The Project Manager: There is no "Project Manager" role in Scrum. Scrum is a framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products, not projects. A project is a temporary endeavor with a fixed scope, time, and cost. A product is a valuable solution that evolves over time to meet customer needs and market conditions. A project manager is a role in traditional project management, a discipline for planning, executing, and controlling projects. A project manager coordinates and controls the activities of the project team and the stakeholders and ensures that the project meets the quality standards and expectations.
The Product Owner: The Product Owner is not responsible for making sure everyone on the Scrum Team does their tasks for the Sprint. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner does not assign or monitor tasks to the Developers. The Product Owner collaborates with them to clarify and refine the Product Backlog items and their acceptance criteria.

All of the above: This is not a valid answer because it includes two invalid options: The Project Manager and The Product Owner.
