Question 5

When do Development Team members take ownership of a Sprint Backlog item?

  • A. At the Sprint planning meeting.
  • B. During the Daily Scrum.
  • C. Never. All Sprint Backlog Items are “owned” by the entire Development Team, even though each one may be done by an individual Development Team member.
  • D. Whenever a team member can accommodate more work.
Answer:

C


Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1
, the Sprint Backlog is the property of the Developers and no one else
can tell them which items they should work on. The Developers can select any item from the Product
Backlog that they forecast they can complete within a Sprint. The Developers are self-organizing and
decide how to turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of value. Therefore, no one owns a
Sprint Backlog item, but the entire Development Team is accountable for it.

Question 6

The purpose of a Sprint is to produce a done Increment of product.

  • A. True
  • B. False
Answer:

A


Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1
, the heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a time-box of one month or less
during which a “Done”, useable, and potentially releasable product Increment is created. The
Increment is a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal. Each Increment is additive to all
prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together.

Question 7

Who creates the definition of “Done”?

  • A. The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team’s productivity.
  • B. The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members’ definition.
  • C. The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product’s success.
  • D. The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization).
Answer:

D


Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1
, 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
created by the development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the
development organization). The definition guides the Development Team in creating a “Done”
Increment.

Question 8

Five new Scrum Teams have been created to build one product. A few of the developers on one of
the Development Teams ask the Scrum Master how to coordinate their work with the order teams.
What should the Scrum Master do?

  • A. Teach the Product Owner to work with the lead developers on ordering Product Backlog in a way to avoid too much technical and development overlap during a Sprint.
  • B. Teach them that it is their responsibility to work with the other teams to create an integrated Increment.
  • C. Collect the Sprint tasks from the teams at the end of their Sprint Planning and merge that into a consolidated plan for the entire Sprint.
  • D. Visit the five teams each day to inspect that their Sprint Backlogs are aligned.
Answer:

B


Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1
, when multiple Scrum Teams are working together on the same
product, they must mutually define and comply with the same definition of “Done”, which includes
creating an integrated Increment at least by the end of each Sprint. The Scrum Master should teach
and coach the Developers that it is their responsibility to work with other Scrum Teams to create an
integrated Increment that meets the definition of “Done”. The other options are not aligned with
Scrum values and principles.

Question 9

Which two things should the Development Team do during the first Sprint? (Choose two.)

  • A. Make up a plan for the rest of the project.
  • B. Analyze, describe, and document the requirements for the subsequent Sprints.
  • C. Develop at least one piece of functionality.
  • D. Analyze, design, and describe the complete architecture and infrastructure.
  • E. Create an increment of potentially releasable software.
Answer:

C,E


Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1
, each Sprint is a project with no more than a one-month horizon. The
Sprint Goal gives guidance to why the Scrum Team is building an Increment. The Development Team
consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of “Done”
product at the end of each Sprint. Therefore, in the first Sprint, as in any other Sprint, the
Development Team should develop at least one piece of functionality and create an increment of
potentially releasable software. The other options are not consistent with Scrum values and
principles.

Question 10

What are three ways Scrum promotes self-organization? (Choose three.)

  • A. By not allowing documentation.
  • B. By the Development Team deciding what work to do in a Sprint.
  • C. By preventing stakeholders from entering the development room.
  • D. By removing titles for Development Team members.
  • E. By being a lightweight framework.
Answer:

B,D,E


Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1
, Scrum promotes self-organization by giving autonomy and
empowerment to the Developers who decide how to do their work within a Sprint. The Developers
have no titles other than Developer, regardless of their specialization or skills. Scrum is a lightweight
framework that minimizes prescription and maximizes flexibility and adaptability.
