Question 1

What would be typical Scrum Master activities during the Sprint?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B

Question 2

Technical Debt can lead to false assumptions about the current state of the system and the Increment reviewed
at the end of the Sprint.

Accepted Answer

Technical debt is any shortcomings in the code. It is a natural by-product of software development (unavoidable) and can at best be managed. If neglected, it will
compound and have a negative effect on the team’s ability to the deliver value. A team can have an artificially high velocity by taking shortcuts or introducing
technical, debt into the system. This can give a false assumption about the current state of the product. It can look good on the surface but underneath can be a
mess.

Question 3

Peter, a Project Manager, has raised concerns about your Scrum Team’s productivity and progress towards the objectives.
Which is the best way to respond to Peter’s concerns?

Accepted Answer

One of the key pillars that support the empirical process control is Transparency. Transparency will help manage stakeholder expectations and allow the teams to
effectively adapt if and when needed.

Question 4

Paul is a Product Owner for multiple products. Each product is allocated a dedicated Scrum Team and a set budget. Based on the average velocity of a previous
product release, Paul had estimated a new product to take 9 Sprints to complete. The average velocity of the previous product release was 50 completed units of
work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the Development Team reported an average velocity of 40 completed units per Sprint, while not fully completing the
required integration tests. The Development Team estimates that integration testing would require additional effort to make the increments shippable. The
Development Team is unsure if the required velocity is achievable.
What is the most effective way to recover?

Accepted Answer

Scrum is founded on empirical process control and asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Scrum employs
an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. At the end of every Sprint, an increment of ‘done’ work must be available in order to
inspect and adapt accordingly.

Question 5

During the Sprint, the Development Team realizes they might not be able to finish all of the items in the Sprint Backlog.
What should happen?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C

Question 6

As a Scrum Master, you observe that the Product Owner is not collaborating with the Development Team effectively.
What action would you take?

Accepted Answer

A Scrum Master coaches those inside and outside the team on the values of Scrum and incremental delivery.

Question 7

What would be good ways of creating Development Teams that would support the Scrum values?

Accepted Answer

The ones that will be doing the work are the best ones to decide on what Development Team structures work best.

Question 8

Which two statements best describe a Sprint Goal? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely up to the Development Team. Only the Development Team can assess what it can
accomplish over the upcoming Sprint.
The Sprint Goal is an objective set for the Sprint that can be met through the implementation of Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the Development Team
on why it is building the Increment. It is created during the Sprint Planning meeting. The Sprint Goal gives the Development Team some flexibility regarding the
functionality implemented within the Sprint. The selected Product Backlog items deliver one coherent function, which can be the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Goal can
be any other coherence that causes the Development Team to work together rather than on separate initiatives.

Question 9

Which of the following are time-boxed events in Scrum?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: E

Question 10

Your company has notified the stakeholders that they will be delivering the first release of a new product within ten Sprints. On the seventh Sprint, the Scrum Team
discovers that they will not be able to include all of the expected features within the first release. The Product Owner believes if they remove some items from the
Definition of Done they will be able to accelerate the development process. The Development Team objects to this idea as it will lead to technical debt.
As a Scrum Master, what would be the best two ways to explain to the Product Owner the impact of technical debt? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The Definition of Done helps the Scrum Team have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency. The Definition of
Done is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment. It also ensures that the work that is done is in usable condition and meets the
Development Teams quality standards for future sustainability.
