True or False: Scrum has a role called “Project Manager”.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Scrum does not have a role called "Project Manager." In Scrum, the team is self-organizing and cross-functional, with no designated project manager. Instead, Scrum has three main roles: the Product Owner, who represents the stakeholders and prioritizes the product backlog; the Scrum Master, who facilitates the Scrum process and removes any obstacles that the team may encounter; and the Development Team, responsible for delivering the product increment. This structure promotes collaboration and empowers the team to make decisions collectively, rather than relying on a single project manager.Rate this question:

C. Sprint results.Explanation
The Sprint Review is a crucial event in Scrum where the development team presents the increment they have built during the sprint to the stakeholders. It provides an opportunity to inspect the product increment and gather feedback from stakeholders. The discussion in the Sprint Review should primarily focus on the sprint results, which include the completed user stories, any unfinished work, and the overall progress towards the project goal. While the Scrum process and coding/engineering practices are important, they are not the main topics to be discussed in the Sprint Review.Rate this question:

Who is responsible for tracking the remaining work of the Sprint?
- A.
The Product Owner.
- B.
The Scrum Master.
- C.
The Project Manager.
- D.
The Development Team.
- E.
The Development Team in consultation with the Product Owner.
Correct Answer
D. The Development Team.Explanation
The Development Team is responsible for tracking the remaining work of the Sprint. They are self-organizing and cross-functional, meaning they have the skills and expertise to estimate and track their own work. The Development Team collaborates with the Product Owner to understand the requirements and priorities, but ultimately, it is their responsibility to track and manage the remaining work to ensure the Sprint goal is achieved. The Scrum Master is responsible for facilitating the Scrum process and removing any impediments, while the Project Manager is not a role in Scrum methodology.Rate this question:

The Development Team should have all the skills needed to:
- A.
Turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of potentially releasable product functionality.
- B.
Complete the project within the date and cost as calculated by the Product Owner.
- C.
Do all of the development work, expect for specialized testing that requires additional tools and environments.
Correct Answer
A. Turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of potentially releasable product functionality.Explanation
The correct answer is "Turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of potentially releasable product functionality." This answer aligns with the principle of self-organization in Scrum. The Development Team is responsible for delivering a potentially releasable Increment at the end of each Sprint. They should have all the necessary skills to take the items from the Product Backlog and transform them into a working product functionality. The answer also dismisses the idea of completing the project within a specific date and cost, as these are determined by the Product Owner, not the Development Team. Additionally, it states that the Development Team is responsible for all development work, except for specialized testing that may require additional tools and environments.Rate this question:

True or False: The Sprint Goal is a result of Sprint Planning, as is the Sprint Backlog.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The Sprint Goal is indeed a result of Sprint Planning, along with the Sprint Backlog. During Sprint Planning, the Scrum Team collaboratively defines the Sprint Goal, which is a concise statement that describes the objective of the Sprint. The Sprint Backlog, on the other hand, is a list of items selected from the Product Backlog that the Scrum Team plans to work on during the Sprint to achieve the Sprint Goal. Therefore, both the Sprint Goal and the Sprint Backlog are outcomes of the Sprint Planning process.Rate this question:

What is the main reason for the Scrum Master to be at the Daily Scrum?
- A.
To make sure every team member answers the three questions.
- B.
He or she does not have to be there; he or she only has to ensure the Development Team has a Daily Scrum.
- C.
To write down any changes to the Sprint Backlog, including adding new items, and tracking progress on the burn-down.
- D.
To gather status and progress information to report to management.
Correct Answer
B. He or she does not have to be there; he or she only has to ensure the Development Team has a Daily Scrum.Explanation
The main reason for the Scrum Master to be at the Daily Scrum is to ensure that the Development Team has a Daily Scrum. The Scrum Master's role is to facilitate and support the Scrum process, and one of their responsibilities is to ensure that the team is following the Scrum framework correctly. By being present at the Daily Scrum, the Scrum Master can ensure that the team is conducting the meeting and following the guidelines of Scrum. This helps to maintain the integrity of the Scrum process and ensures that the team is working effectively and efficiently.Rate this question:

Which of the following criteria to order Product Backlog items?
- A.
Value of Product Backlog items.
- B.
Dependencies between Product Backlog items.
- C.
Dependencies to other products.
- D.
The availability of the Scrum Master.
- E.
All of the above.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Value of Product Backlog items.
B. Dependencies between Product Backlog items.
C. Dependencies to other products.Explanation
The Product Backlog is a prioritized list of all the desired features, enhancements, and fixes for a product. The criteria for ordering Product Backlog items include the value of the items, dependencies between the items, and dependencies to other products. The value of an item determines its importance and impact on the product. Dependencies between items indicate that certain items need to be completed before others can be started. Dependencies to other products imply that certain items are dependent on the completion of work in other products. Considering all of these criteria ensures that the Product Backlog is ordered in a way that maximizes value and efficiency.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. The value of work currently represented in the Product Backlog.
B. Arranging the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint.Explanation
The value of work currently represented in the Product Backlog and arranging the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint are not appropriate topics for discussion in a Sprint Retrospective. The Sprint Retrospective is a time for the team to reflect on their performance and identify areas for improvement. It is not the appropriate forum to discuss the Product Backlog or the planning for the next Sprint. Instead, the team should focus on discussing how they work together, their definition of "Done," and any team relations issues that may be hindering their progress.Rate this question:

- A.
Add them to the Product Backlog and keep the Product Owner posted on the expected effort.
- B.
Add them to the definition of “Done” so the work is taken care of every Sprint.
- C.
Run the integration and regression tests before the end of the Sprint, and capture the open work for the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint.
- D.
Put them on a separate list on the Scrum board, available for all to see.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Add them to the Product Backlog and keep the Product Owner posted on the expected effort.
B. Add them to the definition of “Done” so the work is taken care of every Sprint.Explanation
One good way for the Development Team to make non-functional requirements visible is by adding them to the Product Backlog and keeping the Product Owner posted on the expected effort. This ensures that the non-functional requirements are included in the overall prioritization and planning of the project. Another good way is to add them to the definition of "Done" so that the work related to non-functional requirements is taken care of in every Sprint. This ensures that the non-functional requirements are considered as part of the team's commitment for each Sprint and are not overlooked.Rate this question:

- A.
Sprint Review.
- B.
Release Planning.
- C.
Daily Scrum.
- D.
Sprint Retrospective.
- E.
Refinement Meeting
Correct Answer(s)
A. Sprint Review.
C. Daily Scrum.
D. Sprint Retrospective.Explanation
The three feedback loops in Scrum are Sprint Review, Daily Scrum, and Sprint Retrospective. The Sprint Review provides feedback on the product increment, allowing stakeholders to inspect and adapt the product. The Daily Scrum is a daily meeting where the team inspects progress and adjusts the plan for the day. The Sprint Retrospective is a meeting at the end of each sprint where the team reflects on their processes and identifies areas for improvement. These three feedback loops are essential in Scrum to continuously improve the product and the team's performance.Rate this question:
