Select all that apply

It will be inspected during the Sprint Review, and if the stakeholders approve, it will be included in the Increment.

Do not include the item in the Increment for the Sprint.

Split the item and add the completed work estimation to the current Sprint so that velocity is not impacted, and add the 'undone' work to the next Sprint.

Estimate the remaining work needed to make it ‘done’ and add it to the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to decide what to do with it.

Question 32

You have been hired as a Scrum Master for a company that has been doing business for over fifty years. In order to stay competitive, they have started an initiative to digitize their legacy systems. The company has several Scrum teams working on different components that will be integrated into a single back-office platform. Your team is responsible for building the back-office platform and integrating all other components. The Scrum teams work in two-week Sprints and are expected to deliver all functionality in six Sprints. During development, the requirements change in the other components and have been slowing down your team’s progress. Because of these changes, your team has estimated that they will not be able to deliver all expected work within the original timeframe. The Scrum teams working on the other components confirm that they are still on track for meeting the expected delivery date. The program manager in charge of the digitization initiative is upset and angry with your team. As a Scrum Master, what could you do to help the Product Owner? (Choose the best answer)

To redefine the possible delivery date, you suggest working with the program manager and other teams on the ordering and value your team's open Product Backlog items.

You shorten your team’s Sprints in order to be ready sooner.

You remove all items from the Product Backlog for which development has forecasted to be beyond the expected date. These are likely to be low value anyhow.

You suggest adding additional Developers to the team in order to increase velocity and meet the original date.

Question 33

Question 34

Steven is a Scrum Master for three different teams building a single product from the same Product Backlog. Developers from each team have approached Steven, complaining that their teams need Nicole, an external specialist, to commit full time for their next Sprint. Which three acceptable solutions would Steven consider? (Choose the best three answers)

Select all that apply

For Sprints that require Nicole’s expertise for more than one team, combine the teams into one and separate them again when they no longer need to share her services.

Investigate whether applying additional techniques or frameworks for scaling Scrum would be appropriate for this product team in the future, since you have multiple Scrum teams working on the same product, with dependencies between the teams.

Developers with an interest in Nicole’s domain could volunteer to take on this work in their respective teams.

Ask Nicole for a plan to hire and train additional people in her domain, and in the meantime work with the Product Owner and the Developers to re-prioritize the work so that tasks not depending on Nicole can be done first.

Have the Developers re-order the Product Backlog (with the Product Owner's consent) so that Nicole can serve one team full-time during a Sprint.

Create a team with Nicole and members from the other teams to work in Nicole’s domain temporarily to serve the other existing teams.

Question 35

At the fifth Sprint Retrospective, the Product Owner mentions that he is surprised about the amount of technical debt that has built up in the system and that the product is not able to support an adequate number of users.

The Developers propose to only hold the Daily Scrum on Mondays. Which two responses would be most appropriate for Steven? (Choose the best two answers)
