NEW QUESTION # 36
A Scrum Team has been working together for nine Sprints. A new Product Owner comes in, unsure about his responsibilities. As the Scrum Master you have observed how the functional and business insights of the Developers have grown over the past Sprints. The Product Owner however is relatively new to the company and to the product. What are two activities you would direct the new Product Owner towards focusing on?
(choose the best two answers)
- A. You advise the Product Owner to rely on others in the Scrum Team and the stakeholders to formulate the Product Backlog, as they are the ones that are up to speed. By questioning them and working with them the Product Owner will quickly become more productive.
- B. You tell the Product Owner to make sure that there are no ambiguities or possible misunderstandings in the items on the Product Backlog when they are handed over to the Scrum Team. This is best done by capturing the functional requirements during an analysis phase, resulting in documents that are considered as the working product of such analysis Sprints.
- C. You inform the Product Owner that, in today's highly competitive markets, it is important that the Developers are updated on changing business priorities on a daily basis. It is why Scrum has this daily meeting. At this Daily Scrum the Developers can adapt to the changes in scope without delay.
- D. You advise the Product Owner to start building a good relationship with the stakeholders of the product. On-going interaction with them is important to regularly align with changing organizational or market expectations. The Product Owner is also expected to invite the appropriate stakeholders to the Sprint Review.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Developers.
The Product Owner is also accountable for managing the Product Backlog, which is an ordered list of what is needed in the product. The Product Owner should collaborate with the Developers and the stakeholders to create and refine the Product Backlog, as well as to define and communicate the product vision and goals.
Therefore, as a Scrum Master, you should direct the new Product Owner towards focusing on:
Building a good relationship with the stakeholders of the product (A), which is a valid option as it helps the Product Owner to understand and align with the changing organizational or market expectations, as well as to invite and receive feedback from the appropriate stakeholders during the Sprint Review, which is an event that inspects the outcome of the Sprint and determines future adaptations.
Relying on others in the Scrum Team and the stakeholders to formulate the Product Backlog (D), which is another valid option as it helps the Product Owner to leverage the functional and business insights of the Developers and the stakeholders, who are more familiar with the product and the customer needs. By questioning them and working with them, the Product Owner will quickly become more productive and effective.
The other options are not correct because they:
Inform the Product Owner that it is important that the Developers are updated on changing business priorities on a daily basis at the Daily Scrum (B), which is not a good option as it shows a misunderstanding of the purpose and format of the Daily Scrum, which is an event for the Developers to inspect their progress and plan their work for the next 24 hours, not a status report or a meeting for changing requirements or scope. The Product Owner should respect and support the Developers' commitment to their Sprint Goal and Sprint Backlog, and only introduce changes that do not endanger them.
Tell the Product Owner to make sure that there are no ambiguities or possible misunderstandings in the items on the Product Backlog by capturing the functional requirements during an analysis phase, which is not a good option as it shows a misunderstanding of the nature and process of the Product Backlog, which is a dynamic and emergent artifact that can change as more is learned about the product, users, market, and technology. The Product Owner should collaborate with the Developers to refine and clarify the Product Backlog items throughout the product development, not create detailed documents that are considered as final outputs of analysis Sprints.

NEW QUESTION # 40
Self-management is more effective when it happens within boundaries.
Select two relevant boundaries for self-management provided by the Scrum framework.
(choose the best two answers)
- A. Having an even number of members in a Scrum Team to be able to do pair programming and be more productive.
- B. Clearly defining sub-responsibilities and handovers within the Scrum Team.
- C. Creating a valuable and useful Increment by the end of each Sprint.
- D. Timeboxing work to allow for frequent inspection.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The best two answers are A and C.
A) Timeboxing work to allow for frequent inspection. This is a relevant boundary for self-management provided by the Scrum framework, as it helps the Scrum Team to organize their work into fixed-length Sprints and other events, such as the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Planning, the Sprint Review, and the Sprint Retrospective. Timeboxing enables the Scrum Team to inspect their progress, adapt their plan, and deliver value regularly and predictably.
C) Creating a valuable and useful Increment by the end of each Sprint. This is also a relevant boundary for self-management provided by the Scrum framework, as it guides the Scrum Team to focus on delivering a product Increment that meets the Sprint Goal and the Definition of Done. Creating a valuable and useful Increment requires the Scrum Team to collaborate, communicate, and coordinate effectively, and to apply their skills and creativity to solve complex problems.

NEW QUESTION # 41
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.)
- A. Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as development progresses and functionality is added. The system can become more difficult to stabilize as work progresses. Development for the actual release as well as future releases will be slowed down in unpredictable ways.
- B. As long as there is still technical debt in the current release, feature development for the next release cannot be started. The Product Owner must first agree to this impact before allowing changes to the Definition of Done.
- C. Releasing the version upon a reduced Definition of Done creates false assumptions about the actual state of the system. This will create many interruptions during the development of the next release as fixes will need to be done to the previous release caused from a reduction of quality.
- D. The amount of technical debt will need to be analyzed in order to understand the impact on subsequent releases in order to allocate additional Sprints at the end of the project.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
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.

NEW QUESTION # 45
Towards the end of Sprint Planning, the Product Owner and the Developers have not been able to reach a clear, mutual understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Developers could not figure out how many Product Backlog items they could forecast for the upcoming Sprint. The Product Owner did make it clear what business objective he is hoping to achieve with this Sprint. Which of the following two actions would you support?
(choose the best two answers)
- A. The team splits up and everybody takes as much time as they need to study the Product Backlog items first. The Product Owner should be available to answer individual questions. The group reconvenes when all team members are better prepared and restart the Sprint Planning meeting before the Sprint can start.
- B. If all agree, they can continue the Sprint Planning meeting as a team past its timebox, until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well enough understood for the Developers to make a complete forecast. Then start the Sprint.
- C. They discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.
- D. The Developers forecast the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the business objective and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the timebox for the Sprint Planning event is over, they start the Sprint and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
A) They discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur. This is a good action to take, as it shows that the Scrum Team is willing to inspect and adapt their process and improve their collaboration and communication. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to identify the root causes of the problem and create a plan for implementing improvements in the next Sprint.
D) The Developers forecast the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the business objective and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the timebox for the Sprint Planning event is over, they start the Sprint and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint. This is also a good action to take, as it shows that the Scrum Team is flexible and adaptive, and does not let uncertainty or ambiguity prevent them from delivering value. The Developers can use the Sprint Goal as a guide to select and refine the Product Backlog items during the Sprint, and collaborate with the Product Owner to ensure that they are meeting the expectations and needs of the stakeholders.

3. Scrum Roles
Learning clearly defined roles of individuals in Scrum to improve efficiency. Scrum roles define the main responsibilities for those on the team. Roles in Scrum aren't jobbed titles. Empiricism, self-organization, and constant development are the core of Scrum. The Scrum roles, therefore, include a minimum description of responsibilities and accountability to encourage teams to conduct work effectively. Scrum Roles can be divided into two main categories; Core and Non-core. The core roles are further divided and described below:
- Product Owner
- Scrum Team
- Scrum Master
4. Phases of Scrum Project
Learning the main processes and phases involved in Scrum. These phases can be divided into 3 main groups namely pregame, game and postgame. The phases are listed below:
- Release
- Estimation and Planning
- Initiation
5. Scaling Scrum
Scaling is becoming more effective as you grow. This refers to connecting several teams to deliver complex solutions that need proper coordinated working. The larger the size of a team, the greater the contact lines between team members, making it more difficult to establish trust and a shared goal. Scaling scrum will, therefore, help to establish personal relationships and maintain desired results. Scaling scrum comprises of the following contents:
- Mapping to Scrum from Traditional Roles
- Maintaining Stakeholder Engagement
- Maintaining Traditional Roles to Scrum
- Use of Scrum in Portfolios and Programs
- Scrum of Scrums (SoS) Meeting
6. Mock Product Development
