Question 1

Which two ways of creating Scrum Teams are consistent with Scrum's values? (choose the best two answers)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: AC

Question 2

True or False: A Scrum Master fulfills the same role as a traditional Project Manager.

Accepted Answer

A Scrum Master does not fulfill the same role as a traditional Project Manager. A Project Manager is typically responsible for planning, executing, monitoring,
controlling, and closing a project, as well as managing the scope, schedule, budget, quality, risks, and stakeholders of the project1. A Scrum Master is a servantleader for the Scrum Team, who helps the team understand and enact Scrum values, principles, and practices, and removes impediments to the team’s
progress2. A Scrum Master does not manage the project, the scope, the schedule, the budget, or the team, as these are either shared responsibilities or emergent
outcomes of the Scrum framework[3][3]. A Scrum Master also does not have authority over the team or the stakeholders, but rather facilitates collaboration and
empowerment among them4.

Question 3

What is the typical size for a Scrum Team? (choose the best answer)

Accepted Answer

The typical size for a Scrum Team is 10 or fewer people, including the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the Developers. The Scrum Guide states that "The
Scrum Team is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work within a Sprint. Fewer than three people decrease interaction and
results in smaller productivity gains. Having more than ten people requires too much coordination. Large teams generate too much complexity for an empirical
process to be useful."1 This means that the optimal Scrum Team size is between 3 and 10 people, depending on the context and the nature of the work.

Question 4

What does it mean to say that an event has a timebox? (choose the best answer)

Accepted Answer

To say that an event has a timebox means that the event has a fixed duration that cannot be exceeded. The Scrum Guide states that "All events are time-boxed
events, such that every event has a maximum duration. Once a Sprint begins, its duration is fixed and cannot be shortened or lengthened. The remaining events
may end whenever the purpose of the event is achieved, ensuring an appropriate amount of time is spent without allowing waste in the process."1 This means that
the timebox sets an upper limit for the event, but the event can end sooner if the goal is met.

Question 5

What is a Product Owner typically responsible for during a Sprint? (choose the best two answers)

Accepted Answer

? The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for
managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and
missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the
right time.
? A Sprint is a timebox of one month or less within which a “Done” product Increment is created. A Sprint consists of the Sprint Planning, Daily Scrums, the
development work, the Sprint Review, and the Sprint Retrospective. A Sprint is also a feedback loop that allows the Scrum Team and the stakeholders to inspect
and adapt the product and the process.
? During a Sprint, a Product Owner is typically responsible for:
? The other options are not valid or relevant responsibilities of a Product Owner during a Sprint. They are either too administrative, micromanaging, or unrelated to
the product value delivery. They are:

Question 6

Who is accountable for creating a valuable and usable Increment each Sprint? (choose the best answer)

Accepted Answer

The Developers are accountable for creating a valuable and usable Increment each Sprint. They are the people in the Scrum Team who are committed to
delivering a “Done” Increment that meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. They are responsible for managing and organizing their work within the
Sprint, collaborating with the Product Owner and the Scrum Master, and applying their skills and creativity to create a product that delivers value to the
stakeholders and customers.

Question 7

What might indicate to a Product Owner that she needs to work more with the Scrum Team?
(choose the best answer)

Accepted Answer

? One of the possible indicators that a Product Owner needs to work more with the Scrum Team is when the Increment presented at the Sprint Review does not
reflect what she thought she had asked for. This means that there is a gap or a misunderstanding between the Product Owner and the Developers regarding the
Product Backlog items, the acceptance criteria, the Definition of Done, or the product vision and goals.
? The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for
managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and
missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the
right time.
? The Developers are accountable for creating a “Done” Increment that meets the Definition of Done each Sprint. The Developers are responsible for planning
and executing the Sprint Backlog, designing and building the product functionality, testing and improving the product quality, and delivering a potentially releasable
Increment. The Developers work closely with the Product Owner to understand and clarify the Product Backlog items, provide feedback and estimates, and
suggest improvements and innovations.
? The Sprint Review is an event that occurs at the end of each Sprint, where the Scrum Team and the stakeholders inspect the Increment and adapt the Product
Backlog if needed. The Sprint Review is an opportunity for the Product Owner to validate that the Increment meets her expectations and delivers value to the
customers and users. The Sprint Review is also an opportunity for the Developers to demonstrate their work and receive feedback from the Product Owner and the
stakeholders.
? If the Increment presented at the Sprint Review does not reflect what the Product Owner thought she had asked for, it may indicate that there was insufficient or
ineffective communication, collaboration, or alignment between the Product Owner and the Developers during the Sprint. This may result in wasted effort, rework,
delays, or dissatisfaction for both parties. To avoid or resolve this situation, the Product Owner needs to work more with the Scrum Team by doing some of the
following actions:

Question 8

How much work is required of the Developers to complete a Product Backlog item selected during the Sprint Planning?
(choose the best answer)

Accepted Answer

? The Developers are the people in the Scrum Team who are accountable for creating a “Done” Increment that meets the Definition of Done each Sprint. The
Developers are responsible for planning and executing the Sprint Backlog, designing and building the product functionality, testing and improving the product
quality, and delivering a potentially releasable Increment. The Developers work closely with the Product Owner to understand and clarify the Product Backlog
items, provide feedback and estimates, and suggest improvements and innovations.
? The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. The Definition of Done is
used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment.
? The amount of work required of the Developers to complete a Product Backlog item selected during the Sprint Planning depends on the Definition of Done. The
Definition of Done may vary from one Scrum Team to another, depending on the context and domain of work. However, it must be consistent within one team. If
there are multiple Scrum Teams working on one product, they must share a common Definition of Done. If there is an organizational standard for a Definition of
Done, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum.
? The Developers must ensure that each Product Backlog item they complete during a Sprint meets the Definition of Done. This means that they must perform all
the necessary tasks and activities to deliver a high-quality product functionality that is usable, valuable, and potentially releasable. This may include analysis,
design, development, testing, documentation, integration, deployment, or any other aspects that contribute to the quality and usability of the product.
? The other options are not valid or relevant measures for the amount of work required of the Developers to complete a Product Backlog item. They are either too
vague, arbitrary, or unrealistic. They are:

Question 9

Which two things are appropriate for a Scrum Master to do, if the Scrum Team does not have
the tools and environment to completely finish each selected Product Backlog item? (choose the best two answers)

Accepted Answer

Scrum Explore
The correct answers are A and D.
* A. Coach the Scrum Team to improve its skills, tools and environment over time and adjust the Definition of Done accordingly. This is an appropriate action for a
Scrum Master, as it
helps the Scrum Team to overcome the impediments that prevent them from delivering a potentially releasable Increment. The Definition of Done should reflect the
current reality of the Scrum Team, but also be a source of continuous improvement12.
* D. Have the Scrum Team establish a Definition of Done that is actually possible to achieve given current circumstances. This is also an appropriate action for a
Scrum Master, as it ensures that the Scrum Team has a clear and shared understanding of what it means to complete a Product Backlog item. The Definition of
Done should be realistic and achievable, but also challenging and ambitious12.
* B. Refocus the current Sprint on establishing the Scrum Team’s environment instead of delivering an Increment. This is not an appropriate action for a Scrum
Master, as it violates the purpose of the Sprint, which is to deliver a valuable product Increment that meets the Sprint Goal. The Scrum Team should not change
the Sprint Goal or scope during the Sprint, unless the Product Owner decides to cancel the Sprint3.
* C. Encourage the Product Owner to accept partially done Increments until the situation improves. This is not an appropriate action for a Scrum Master, as it
compromises the quality and value of the product. The Product Owner should only accept Increments that meet the Definition of Done and the acceptance criteria.
Partially done Increments increase technical debt and risk, and reduce transparency and feedback12.
* E. Declare the Scrum Team not ready for Scrum. This is not an appropriate action for a Scrum Master, as it undermines the Scrum values and principles. The
Scrum Master should support the Scrum Team in adopting and applying Scrum, regardless of the challenges and constraints they face. The Scrum Master should
foster a culture of empiricism, self-organization, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Question 10

True or False: Dependencies could influence how the Product Owner orders Product Backlog items.

Accepted Answer

Dependencies are relationships between Product Backlog items that affect their order of implementation. For example, a Product Backlog item may depend on
another one to be completed first, or it may have a dependency on a third-party system or resource. Dependencies could influence how the Product Owner orders
Product Backlog items, as they may introduce risks, constraints, or uncertainties that affect the value delivery. The Product Owner should try to minimize
dependencies and order the Product Backlog items in a way that maximizes value and minimizes waste.
