Which of the following are criteria to order Product Backlog items? (choose all that apply)

  1. Value of Product Backlog items.
  2. Dependencies between Product Backlog items.
  3. Dependencies to other products.
  4. The availability of the Scrum Master.
  5. All of the above.

Answer(s): A,B,C

Explanation:

The Product Owner orders the Product Backlog items according to various criteria, such as:
The value of Product Backlog items. The Product Owner aims to maximize the value of the product and the work of the Scrum Team. Therefore, they prioritize the items that deliver the most value to the stakeholders and the users, considering factors such as customer satisfaction, market share, revenue, social impact, etc.
The dependencies between Product Backlog items. The Product Owner tries to minimize the dependencies between items, as they may create complexity, uncertainty, and risk. Therefore, they order the items in a way that reduces or eliminates the dependencies, or resolves them as early as possible.
The dependencies to other products. The Product Owner also considers the dependencies that the product has to other products, such as platforms, frameworks, libraries, services, etc. Therefore, they order the items in a way that aligns with the availability and compatibility of those products.


Reference:

Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: "The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes ... ordering Product Backlog items; and, ensuring that the Product

Backlog is transparent, visible and understood."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: "The ordering of the items in the Product Backlog is the sole responsibility of the Product Owner. They order Product Backlog items to best achieve goals and missions."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: "Higher ordered Product Backlog items are clearer and more refined than lower ordered ones."



True or False: The value delivered by a product can only be determined by revenue.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The value delivered by a product can not be determined by revenue alone, because:
Revenue is only one aspect of value, and it may not reflect the true impact or benefit of the product for the stakeholders, the users, and the society. For example, a product may generate high revenue, but also cause environmental damage, ethical issues, or customer dissatisfaction. Value is a subjective and relative concept, and it may vary depending on the context, the perspective, and the criteria of the evaluation. For example, a product may have different value for different segments of customers, or for different markets or regions. Value is dynamic and emergent, and it may change over time due to various factors, such as feedback, competition, innovation, or regulation. For example, a product may lose its value as new alternatives or solutions become available, or as customer needs or preferences evolve.


Reference:

Scrum Guide 2020, page 6: "The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: "The Product Goal describes a future state of the product which can serve as a target for the Scrum Team to plan against." Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: "The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes ... optimizing the value of the work the Scrum Team performs."



When multiple Scrum Teams are working on the same product, should all of their Increments be integrated every Sprint?
(choose the best answer)

  1. Yes, in order to accurately inspect what is done.
  2. Yes, but only for Scrum Teams whose work has dependencies.
  3. No, each Scrum Team stands alone.
  4. No, that is far too hard and must be done in a hardening Sprint.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When multiple Scrum Teams are working on the same product, they should integrate their Increments every Sprint because:
It allows them to accurately inspect what is done and what is potentially releasable. By integrating their work frequently, they can ensure that the product is in a usable and valuable state at the end of each Sprint, and that it meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. It enables them to adapt to changes and feedback faster. By integrating their work frequently, they can reduce the complexity and risk of integration, and discover and resolve any issues or dependencies sooner. They can also incorporate any new insights or requirements into their Product Backlog and Sprint Planning.
It fosters collaboration and alignment among the teams. By integrating their work frequently, they can share their learnings and best practices, and coordinate their efforts towards a common vision and goal. They can also leverage the collective intelligence and creativity of the teams to deliver a better product.


Reference:

Scrum Guide 2020, page 10: "When a Product Backlog item or an Increment is described as "Done", everyone must understand what "Done" means. Although this varies significantly per Scrum Team, members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 10: "The moment a Product Backlog item meets the Definition of Done, an Increment is born."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 10: "Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together." Scrum Guide 2020, page 14: "The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver Increments of potentially releasable functionality that adhere to the Scrum Team's current Definition of Done." Scrum Guide 2020, page 15: "The Sprint Review is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and the presentation of the Increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration."



A Scrum Master is working with a Scrum Team that has Developers in different physical locations. The Developers meet in a variety of meeting rooms and have much to do logistically (for example: reserve meeting rooms and set up conference calls) before the Daily Scrum.

What action should the Scrum Master take?
(choose the best answer)

  1. Allow the Developers to self-manage and determine for themselves what to do.
  2. Ask the Developers to alternate who is responsible for meeting setup.
  3. Set up the meeting and tell the Scrum Team that is how it will be done.
  4. Inform management and ask them to solve it.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Scrum Master should allow the Developers to self-manage and determine for themselves what to do because:
It respects the autonomy and empowerment of the Developers. The Developers are accountable for organizing and managing their own work, and they are the best people to decide how to conduct their Daily Scrum. The Scrum Master should not impose or dictate how the meeting should be set up or run, as that would undermine the self-organization and collaboration of the Developers. It supports the continuous improvement and adaptation of the Developers. The Developers are expected to inspect and adapt their process and practices, and to find ways to overcome any challenges or impediments they face. The Scrum Master should not solve the problems for them, but rather facilitate their problem-solving and learning abilities. It aligns with the role and responsibilities of the Scrum Master. The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum, and for helping everyone understand and enact Scrum theory, values, principles, and practices. The Scrum Master is not a manager or a leader of the Developers, but rather a servant-leader who enables them to work effectively.


Reference:

Scrum Guide 2020, page 6: "Developers are the people in the Scrum Team that are committed to creating any aspect of a usable Increment each Sprint." Scrum Guide 2020, page 6: "The Developers are accountable for ... organizing and managing their work."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 12: "The Developers can select whatever structure and techniques they want, as long as their Daily Scrum focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal and produces an actionable plan for the next day of work. This creates focus and improves self-management." Scrum Guide 2020, page 13: "The Daily Scrum is an internal meeting for the Developers. If others are present, the Scrum Master ensures that they do not disrupt the meeting." Scrum Guide 2020, page 7: "The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. They do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the organization."
