Which one of the following is not a Scrum Artifact?
- A.
Product Backlog
- B.
Story
- C.
Sprint Backlog
- D.
Increment of Potentially Shippable Product Functionality
Correct Answer
B. StoryExplanation
The correct answer is "Story" because a story is not a Scrum Artifact. In Scrum, the three main artifacts are the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and the Increment of Potentially Shippable Product Functionality. The Product Backlog contains all the requirements and features prioritized by the product owner. The Sprint Backlog contains the tasks and user stories selected for a specific sprint. The Increment of Potentially Shippable Product Functionality is the sum of all the completed and tested product backlog items. However, a "Story" is not specifically mentioned as a Scrum Artifact.Rate this question:

Identify the levels of planning in an agile model?1-Iteration Level2-Release Level3-Sprint Level4-Product Level
- A.
1,2,3
- B.
2,3
- C.
4
- D.
4,2,3,1
Correct Answer
D. 4,2,3,1Explanation
The levels of planning in an agile model are as follows: 4-Product Level, 2-Release Level, 3-Sprint Level, and 1-Iteration Level. This means that the planning starts at the iteration level, where specific tasks and goals are identified for a short period of time. Then, the planning moves to the sprint level, where a set of iterations are grouped together to achieve a larger goal. After that, the planning is done at the release level, where multiple sprints are combined to deliver a complete product. Finally, the highest level of planning is done at the product level, where the overall vision and strategy for the product are defined.Rate this question:

Independent means that the user story can be developed and tested in isolation. Negotiable means that the details of the user story can be discussed and adjusted. Valuable means that the user story provides value to the user or customer. Estimable means that the effort required to complete the user story can be estimated. Small means that the user story is small enough to be completed within a single iteration. Testable means that the user story can be tested to ensure it meets the desired outcome.Rate this question:

This ensures that the work done by each team can be integrated and released as a cohesive product. While each team may have their own specific criteria for "done," it is crucial that these differences are discussed and reconciled during a hardening Sprint to ensure a unified definition of "done" across all teams.Rate this question:
