Scrum is based on empiricism. All of its artifacts must be transparent to ensure sufficient accuracy of inspection. How can the Scrum Team maintain the Product Backlog to maximize its transparency?

(choose the best answer)

  1. The Product Backlog is only updated at the Sprint Review, when both the Scrum Team and the stakeholders are available.
  2. Product Backlog items should hold no more than 8 points of work, which is the average in the range of acceptable sizes of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13.
  3. Product Backlog items must be sized such that the highest ordered items are no bigger than a Sprint.
  4. The Product Backlog is only updated at a release planning meeting with the stakeholders and the change control board present.
  5. The Product Backlog is continually kept up to date with the most recent insights.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

The Scrum Team can maintain the Product Backlog to maximize its transparency by continually keeping it up to date with the most recent insights because:
It reflects the current state of the product and the work. The Product Backlog is a dynamic and emergent artifact that represents all the possible features, functions, requirements, enhancements, and fixes that constitute changes to the product. By updating it frequently, the Scrum Team can ensure that the Product Backlog is accurate, complete, and relevant. It enables the Product Owner to optimize the value of the product and the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes ordering, refining, and communicating the Product Backlog items. By updating it frequently, the Product Owner can incorporate new learnings, feedback, opportunities, and changes into the product decisions and priorities.
It supports the inspection and adaptation of the Scrum Team and the stakeholders. The Product Backlog is a source of information and transparency for everyone involved in the product development. By updating it frequently, the Scrum Team and the stakeholders can inspect the progress and outcomes of each Sprint, and adapt their plans and actions accordingly.

Scrum Guide 2020, page 10: "The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: "The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes ... 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 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."



Which three of the following are true about Scrum?
(choose the best three answers)

  1. Scrum implements self-management by replacing Project Managers with Scrum Masters.
  2. Scrum is based on empiricism and lean thinking.
  3. Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products.
  4. Scrum is a methodology where you can pick and choose which parts of Scrum you think will work for your environment.
  5. Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and your usage of Scrum to develop complex products.

Answer(s): B,C,E

Explanation:

The following are true about Scrum:
Scrum is based on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism is the principle of making decisions based on what is observed and experienced, rather than on theory or speculation. Lean thinking is the philosophy of eliminating waste and maximizing value in any process or system. Scrum applies these concepts by providing a framework for inspecting and adapting the product and the process, and by focusing on delivering the most valuable features to the customers and stakeholders. Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products. A complex product is one that has unpredictable or unknown aspects that require creativity, experimentation, and adaptation to deliver. A framework is a set of minimal and essential rules and roles that provide structure and guidance, but leave room for flexibility and innovation. Scrum provides such a framework for teams to collaborate and deliver complex products iteratively and incrementally, while embracing change and feedback.
Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and your usage of Scrum to develop complex products. Scrum consists of three roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers), five events (Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective), and three artifacts (Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment). Each of these components has a clear definition, accountability, and goal that contributes to the overall effectiveness and value of Scrum. Removing or changing any of these components may cause the benefits of Scrum to be lost or diminished.


Reference:

Scrum Guide 2020, page 3: "Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking." Scrum Guide 2020, page 3: "Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems." Scrum Guide 2020, page 4: "Each component within the framework serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and usage."



A Scrum Team is required to deliver a done Increment by the end of a Sprint. Select two statements that explain what done means.
(choose the best two answers)

  1. No work is left to meet the Definition of Done.
  2. Whatever the Product Owner defines as quality.
  3. Ready for integration.
  4. Ready to be released to end users.
  5. All work the Developers are willing to do.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

A Scrum Team is required to deliver a done Increment by the end of a Sprint. Done means:
No work is left to meet the Definition of Done. The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. It is a shared understanding among the Scrum Team and the stakeholders of what it means for work to be complete. It may include criteria such as coding standards, testing, documentation, security,

performance, etc. If a Product Backlog item or an Increment does not meet the Definition of Done, it cannot be released or presented at the Sprint Review.
Ready to be released to end users. The Increment is a concrete output of the Sprint that adds value to the product. It is a potentially releasable functionality that adheres to the Scrum Team's current Definition of Done. It is not necessarily released at the end of each Sprint, but it must be in a state that allows for immediate release if the Product Owner decides so. The Increment should also align with the Sprint Goal and the Product Goal, and satisfy the needs and expectations of the customers and stakeholders.


Reference:

Scrum Guide 2020, page 10: "The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product." Scrum Guide 2020, page 10: "The moment a Product Backlog item meets the Definition of Done, an Increment is born."
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."



In accordance with Scrum theory, how should a group of 100 people be divided into multiple Scrum Teams?
(choose the best answer)

  1. Create a matrix of skills, seniority, and level of experience to assign people to teams.
  2. Check with the allocation department to see who has worked together before and make these the first teams.
  3. Understanding the product, the product vision and the rules of the Scrum framework, the people divide themselves into teams.
  4. It does not really matter since you can rotate the teams every Sprint to spread knowledge.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In accordance with Scrum theory, a group of 100 people should be divided into multiple Scrum Teams by understanding the product, the product vision and the rules of the Scrum framework, and then dividing themselves into teams because:
It respects the self-organization and empowerment of the people. The people are the ones who have the knowledge, skills, and experience to create and deliver the product. They are also the ones who will work together as Scrum Teams, collaborating and coordinating their efforts. Therefore, they should have the autonomy and authority to decide how to form their teams, based on their preferences, interests, and capabilities.
It supports the alignment and coherence of the Scrum Teams. The people should have a clear and shared understanding of the product, the product vision, and the rules of the Scrum framework before forming their teams. This can help them to align their goals and missions, to ensure that they are working on the same product and towards the same vision. It can also help them to follow the same principles and practices of Scrum, to ensure that they are working effectively and consistently. It fosters the collaboration and synergy of the Scrum Teams. The people should form their teams in a way that maximizes their collaboration and synergy. This can mean choosing team members that complement each other's skills and strengths, that have good rapport and trust, that can communicate and coordinate well, and that can deliver a valuable Increment each Sprint.


Reference:

Scrum Guide 2020, page 5: "Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value in each Sprint."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 5: "Scrum Teams are self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 9: "Multiple Scrum Teams working together on a product use one Product Backlog."
Scrum Guide 2020, page 9: "The Product Owner is one person, not a committee."
