NEW QUESTION # 25
What is a Product Backlog? (Choose the best answer)
- A. It is a formally approved list of requirements to be implemented over a set period.
- B. It is a living artifact of product requirements that exists and evolves as long as a product exists.
- C. It is a detailed list of functionalities from which the Developers draw items, to be complemented by a separate Technology Backlog managed by the Developers.
- D. It is a list of references to Use Case documents that are stored in a central repository. The references should be viewable and clickable by anybody to enhance transparency.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Product Backlog is dynamic and evolves with the product. TheScrum Guidedefines it as: "The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product." Option A captures its living, evolving nature.
* B:"Formally approved" and "set period" suggest rigidity, unlike Scrum's adaptability.
* C:A separate "Technology Backlog" isn't in Scrum; all work is in one backlog.
NEW QUESTION # 26
What is the Product Owner accountable for in Scrum? (Choose the best answer)
- A. Creating and sustaining a Product Backlog that maximizes value and represents the needs of the stakeholders
- B. Describing an Increment at the Sprint Planning and making sure that the Developers deliver it by the end of the Sprint
- C. Refining the top-level Product Backlog items until they are ready to be handed over to the Developers
- D. Writing the User Stories so they are understandable to stakeholders
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Product Owner's core accountability is maximizing value through the Product Backlog. TheScrum Guide states: "The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team." Option B encapsulates this fully.
* A:The Developers deliver the Increment; the Product Owner doesn't ensure it.
* C:Refinement is part of management, but not the sole accountability.
NEW QUESTION # 27
How important is it for a Product Owner to order Product Backlog items by value points? (Choose the best answer)
- A. Using value points is the ultimate way for a Product Owner to predict the value that the product will provide.
- B. It is a good practice, keeping in mind that market reception is the best measure of value.
- C. Calculating value points is an upfront approach that conflicts with the empiricism of Scrum, and is therefore not acceptable.
Answer: B
Explanation:
TheScrum Guidetasks the Product Owner with ordering the Product Backlog to maximize value, but it doesn't mandate a specific method like "value points." Option B is correct-using value points (e.g., in techniques like WSJF-Weighted Shortest Job First) is a helpful practice, but empirical validation (market reception) remains the ultimate measure, aligning with Scrum's focus on inspection and adaptation. Option A overstates value points as "ultimate," ignoring real-world feedback. Option C is too rigid; Scrum allows flexibility in tools as long as empiricism is upheld. Thus, B is the best answer.
NEW QUESTION # 28
The Product Owner manages the Product Backlog. Who is accountable for estimating the effort to complete the Product Backlog items? (Choose the best answer)
- A. The Product Owner. The Product Owner is required to commit on delivery to the users and the stakeholders.
- B. The Developers. As a collective, they have a complete view of the work needed to transform Product Backlog items into Increments of product.
- C. The PMO. They have all the history on projects delivered, and this enables the IT department tomake delivery commitments.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Effort estimation is a technical task owned by the Developers, who execute the work. TheScrum Guidenotes:
"The Developers are responsible for... planning how to deliver the Increment." During Sprint Planning and refinement, they estimate effort based on their expertise.
* A:Correct-the Developers collectively assess what's needed to meet the Definition of "Done."
* B:PMO isn't a Scrum role; estimation stays within the team.
NEW QUESTION # 29
What pre-conditions must be fulfilled in order to allow Sprint Planning to begin? (Choose the best answer)
- A. A clear and non-negotiable Sprint Goal
- B. There are no such pre-conditions
- C. Enough "Ready" Product Backlog to fill the Sprint
- D. A fully refined Product Backlog
- E. A clear but negotiable business objective for the Sprint
- F. Formal budget approval to conduct another Sprint
Answer: B
Explanation:
Scrum imposes no formal pre-conditions for Sprint Planning beyond the Sprint starting. TheScrum Guide states: "Sprint Planning initiates the Sprint by laying out the work to be performed for the Sprint."
* A:A fully refined backlog isn't required; refinement is ongoing.
* B:Budget approval isn't a Scrum concept.
* C, D:The Sprint Goal is defined during, not before, Sprint Planning.
* E:Some "Ready" items help, but it's not mandatory; planning can refine items.
NEW QUESTION # 30
Why would the Product Owner concern themselves with technical debt? (Choose the best answer)
- A. The total cost of ownership (TCO) of the product will be impacted if technical debt is present and grows
- B. The Scrum Master is responsible for technical debt management
- C. They wouldn't, it is an issue for Developers
Answer: A
Explanation:
Technical debt affects product value, a Product Owner's core concern. TheScrum Guidedoesn't explicitly mention technical debt, but the Product Owner's accountability for "maximizing the value of the product" implies considering factors like TCO, which rises with debt due to rework or maintenance costs.
* A:Correct-debt impacts long-term value and cost.
* B:The Scrum Master facilitates, not manages debt.
NEW QUESTION # 31
If the Product Backlog is not ready for Sprint Planning, what happens? (Choose the best answer)
- A. Cancel the Sprint until backlog is ready
- B. Work during Sprint Planning to refine the backlog for one Sprint
- C. Identify enough work for the first day and set up a second Sprint Planning meeting when the Product Owner is ready
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Product Backlog is emergent and doesn't need to be fully "ready" before Sprint Planning. TheScrum Guidestates: "Sprint Planning initiates the Sprint by laying out the work to be performed for the Sprint." If items aren't refined, the team can refine them during planning to select enough for the Sprint.
* A:Canceling isn't an option; Sprints start immediately after the previous one.
* B:Splitting Sprint Planning isn't supported; it's a single time-boxed event.
NEW QUESTION # 32
Which statement is least accurate when providing a definition of "Done"? (Choose the best answer)
- A. It may vary depending on the project
- B. It is the exit criteria to determine whether a Product Backlog item is complete
- C. It is defined by the Scrum Master
- D. It becomes more complete over time
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Definition of "Done" is a team or organizational standard, not the Scrum Master's sole responsibility. The Scrum Guidestates: "If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product."
* A:Accurate-it defines completion.
* B:True-it can differ by context or product.
* C:Least accurate-the Scrum Team or organization defines it, not just the Scrum Master.
NEW QUESTION # 33
Holding a Sprint 0 is the most effective way to: (Choose the best answer)
- A. There is no Sprint 0 in Scrum
- B. Create a complete Product Backlog
- C. Work on team development
- D. Define a reference architecture
Answer: A
Explanation:
"Sprint 0" is a concept from pre-Scrum practices and isn't part of the official framework. TheScrum Guide mandates that Sprints deliver value: "A Sprint is a time-box of one month or less during which a 'Done', usable, and potentially releasable product Increment is created." A preparatory "Sprint 0" for architecture, team building, or backlog creation contradicts this by not producing an Increment.
* A, B, C:These may occur outside Sprints, but not as a "Sprint 0."
NEW QUESTION # 34
During which meeting do team members synchronize their work and progress and report any impediments to the Scrum Master for removal? (Choose the best answer)
- A. Sprint Planning meeting
- B. Weekly status meeting
- C. Sprint Retrospective
- D. Daily Scrum
Answer: D
Explanation:
The Daily Scrum is designed for synchronization and impediment reporting. TheScrum Guidestates: "The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work." Developers raise impediments, which the Scrum Master then addresses.
* A:Sprint Planning sets the Sprint's work, not daily sync.
* B:Correct-daily synchronization and impediment reporting.
* C:Retrospective focuses on improvement, not daily progress.
NEW QUESTION # 35
Which two statements explain why the Definition of "Done" is important to the Product Owner? (Choose the best two answers)
- A. It identifies undone work that can be addressed in a separate Sprint.
- B. It assures the Increment reviewed at the Sprint Review is usable so the Product Owner may choose to release it.
- C. It creates transparency regarding progress within the Scrum Team.
- D. It helps the Product Owner track the open work during a Sprint.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
The Definition of "Done" ensures quality and usability, critical for the Product Owner's value delivery:
* A:Per theScrum Guide, a "Done" Increment is usable, enabling the Product Owner to decide on releases at the Sprint Review.
NEW QUESTION # 36
What is typical work for a Product Owner in a Sprint? (Choose the best two answers)
- A. Update the work plan for the Developers on a daily basis.
- B. Work with the Developers on Product Backlog refinement.
- C. Create financial reporting upon the spent hours reported by the Developers.
- D. Collaborate with stakeholders, user communities, and product managers.
- E. Attend every Daily Scrum to answer functional questions on the discussed Sprint Backlog items.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
TheScrum Guideoutlines the Product Owner's responsibilities as maximizing value through Product Backlog management, which includes:
* C:"Developing and explicitly communicating the Product Goal" and refining the Product Backlog with Developers to ensure clarity and readiness.
NEW QUESTION # 37
Must the Product Owner be present at the Sprint Retrospective? (Choose the best answer)
- A. It is not allowed. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself.
- B. It is mandatory. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to assess its performance and improve itself.
- C. It is optional. Attendance is only required when the Product Owner gets invited by the Scrum Master.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Sprint Retrospective involves the entire Scrum Team-Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers- to inspect and improve. TheScrum Guidestates: "The Scrum Team inspects how the last Sprint went with regards to individuals, interactions, processes, tools, and their Definition of Done." The Product Owner's presence is mandatory because they are part of the team, contributing to discussions on collaboration and process (e.g., backlog refinement).
* A:Optional attendance contradicts the team-wide focus.
* C:Exclusion is incorrect; it's not just for Developers.
NEW QUESTION # 38
How does an organization know that a product built through Scrum is successful? (Choose the best answer)
- A. By the Product Owner and stakeholders accepting the Increment at the Sprint Review
- B. By measuring the actual time spent on development versus the time estimated for development
- C. By measuring that velocity has increased since the last release
- D. By releasing often, and updating key performance indicators (KPIs) on value after every release and feeding this information back into work on the Product Backlog
Answer: D
Explanation:
Success in Scrum is tied to value delivery, not internal metrics. Option B-frequent releases with KPI updates-aligns with Scrum's empirical nature: "Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking." Real- world feedback refines the Product Backlog, ensuring success.
* A:Velocity is an internal capacity metric, not a success indicator.
* C:Time variance is irrelevant to value.
NEW QUESTION # 39
If the Product Owner is not collaborating with the Developers during the Sprint, what should the Scrum Master do? (Choose the best answer)
- A. Coach the Product Owner on the values and benefits of Scrum and incremental delivery
- B. Cancel Scrum until a better Product Owner is identified
- C. Escalate to senior management
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner by fostering Scrum adoption: "The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including... Helping find techniques for effective Product Goal definition and Product Backlog management." If collaboration is lacking, coaching (C) aligns with this role, emphasizing Scrum's collaborative nature and incremental value delivery.
* A:Escalation bypasses the Scrum Master's responsibility to resolve issues.
NEW QUESTION # 40
Every Scrum Team should have: (Choose the best answer)
- A. The competencies and skills needed to deliver a Done Increment in a Sprint.
- B. At least one representative from each major software engineering discipline (like QA, Dev, UX).
- C. One Lead Developer and no more than eight other members.
Answer: A
Explanation:
TheScrum Guideemphasizes that a Scrum Team must be cross-functional, meaning it has all the competencies and skills necessary to create a "Done" Increment within a Sprint without relying on external resources.
Option A aligns directly with this principle: "The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers... They are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint." Option B, while suggesting a structured representation from disciplines, is too prescriptive and not a Scrum requirement-Scrum does not mandate specific roles like QA or UX within the Developers. Option C imposes a rigid team structure (one Lead Developer and a maximum of eight others), which contradicts Scrum's flexibility in team composition (typically 10 or fewer total, but no specific roles or limits beyond that are mandated). Thus, A is the best answer, focusing on capability rather than structure.
NEW QUESTION # 41
What two things should be done if the Product Owner is unavailable? (Choose the best two answers)
- A. In a permanent state of unavailability, a new Product Owner needs to be appointed. Development efforts without a Product Owner are not employing Scrum.
- B. Within the Sprint, the Developers make the best decisions possible to assure progress toward the Sprint Goal, re-aligning with the Product Owner once he/she is available again.
- C. There should be a Product Owner team to allow a different person from that team to instantly take over the role of Product Owner.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
The Product Owner is a singular, critical role in Scrum: "The Product Owner is one person, not a committee." Temporary or permanent unavailability requires specific actions:
* A:During a Sprint, the Developers' self-management allows them to proceed toward the Sprint Goal, adjusting with the Product Owner later, per: "The Developers are self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how."
* C:Permanent absence means Scrum isn't being followed without a Product Owner, necessitating a replacement: "For Product Owners to succeed, the entire organization must respect their decisions."
NEW QUESTION # 42
True or False: There must be a release every Sprint.
- A. False
- B. True
Answer: A
Explanation:
Scrum requires a "potentially releasable" Increment each Sprint, but actual release is at the Product Owner's discretion. TheScrum Guidestates: "The Increment must be usable... The Product Owner may choose to release it immediately."
* A:False-release isn't mandatory.
NEW QUESTION # 43
Which one of the following is NOT a responsibility of a self-organized Developers? (Choose the best answer)
- A. Do the work planned in accordance with the Definition of Done
- B. Pull Product Backlog items for the Sprint
- C. Determine the time for the Daily Scrum
- D. Reorder the Product Backlog
Answer: D
Explanation:
Self-organization gives the Developers autonomy over their work execution, but not over Product Backlog ordering, which is the Product Owner's domain. TheScrum Guidestates: "The Developers are the people in the Scrum Team that are committed to creating any aspect of a usable Increment each Sprint."
* A:Pulling items into the Sprint Backlog is their responsibility during Sprint Planning.
* B:Reordering the Product Backlog is the Product Owner's task: "Ordering Product Backlog items."
* C:Delivering "Done" work is their core duty.
NEW QUESTION # 44
When many Scrum Teams are working on the same product, should all of their Increments be integrated every Sprint? (Choose the best answer)
- A. Yes, but only for Scrum Teams whose work has dependencies.
- B. No, that is far too hard and must be done in a hardening Sprint.
- C. No, each Scrum Team stands alone.
- D. Yes, otherwise the Product Owners and stakeholders may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.
Answer: D
Explanation:
TheScrum Guidemandates that when multiple Scrum Teams work on one product, they produce a single integrated Increment: "Multiple Scrum Teams often work together on the same product... The Increment must be integrated and usable so that it can provide value." This ensures transparency and stakeholder feedback at the Sprint Review. Option A (hardening Sprint) is a misconception-Scrum rejects separate phases for integration. Option B contradicts the single-product focus. Option C limits integration to dependencies, but the Scrum Guiderequires full integration regardless. Option D correctly emphasizes the need for a cohesive, inspectable Increment, making it the best answer.
