The Product Owner.

The Developers.

The Scrum team.

The Scrum Master.

Question 62

Steven is Scrum Master and leads three Scrum teams that are all working on the same product and using the same Product Backlog. Management wants to standardize how velocity is calculated across all three teams in order to identify which teams are high performing and which teams need more support. What would be the best two responses Steven could provide to management? (Choose the best two answers)

Select all that apply

There is no direct relationship between velocity and value.

It's a good idea to standardize velocity across teams to see which ones are producing the most value.

Providing incentives based on velocity can increase the Scrum team’s motivation to produce more value.

The amount of business functionality that a Scrum team creates in a Sprint is known as velocity. It's specific to that team and is used to inform Sprint Planning.

Question 63

Which approach would you recommend to ensure that the Product Backlog items discussed at Sprint Planning are well understood, actionable, and easier to forecast? (Choose the best answer)

Before Sprint Planning, having a separate group of business analysts and functional testers analyze high-ordered Product Backlog items.

Having the Product Owner collaborate with stakeholders between the end of the previous Sprint and the start of the next to prepare the Product Backlog items so that the Developers are not interrupted.

During a Sprint, the Scrum team's business analysts create upcoming Product Backlog items and add them to the forecast for the next Sprint.

Having the Developers use some time during each Sprint to help the Product Owner analyze, estimate, and design items at the top of the Product Backlog that is projected to be worked on in the upcoming Sprint.

Question 64

During the Sprint Review of a scaled development effort, Developers of each Scrum team should demonstrate their individual Increment in a separate branch of the code.

True

False

Question 65

Select two ways in which Scrum uses timeboxing to promote self-management? (Choose the best two answers)

Select all that apply

Timeboxes ensure that the Developers commit to completing the items in the Sprint Backlog by the end of the Sprint.

Timeboxes encourage the ones closest to the problem to make the best possible decisions within the time frame given the current situation.

Timeboxes can help teams plan how many additional Sprints are needed for User Acceptance testing.

Timeboxes helps everybody concentrate on the same problem at the same time.

Question 66

Your organization requires all Increments to pass user acceptance testing (UAT) before it is allowed to be released to production. Is it a good idea to postpone UAT until the end of the project to prevent the Developers from being disrupted during the Sprints? (Choose the best answer)

No, because the state of the Product Increment won’t be transparent and the communications won't be good enough.

It depends on the team’s Definition of Done.

Yes, because the Scrum team is a self-managing team and should not be disrupted during development.

Yes, because UAT is done in a hardening Sprint before the release Sprint.

Question 67

During the Sprint Review, one of the stakeholders announces that due to recent market changes, there is a risk that funding might be reduced for the project. This triggers tensions to rising and arguments to break out between members. As a Scrum Master, what would be the best actions to take? (Choose the best three answers)

Select all that apply

Defend the original budget and request the stakeholders to adhere to the original agreed funding for the product.

Encourage the stakeholders and Product Owner to focus on delivering the highest value items for the next Sprint

Be objective and request for a short break for people to calm down.

Avoid getting involved as it is the Product Owner’s responsibility to manage stakeholder expectations.

Inform everyone that the team needs to stay busy until the information is formally announced.

Question 68

Your organization's director of engineering emphasizes the importance of meeting deadlines in order for the engineering department to be seen as a reliable source for the product management department. The director has calculated that the team's velocity needs to increase by 15% in order to meet the product's release date commitment he made to management. He requests that Steven, the team's Scrum Master, should increase the velocity of his team. Which of the two options would be the best for Steven? (Choose the best two answers)

Select all that apply

He explains how a team uses a Sprint's velocity to forecast work for the next Sprint rather than to predict future productivity perfectly. He prompts the director to the Product Owner for all information on the development process.

He informs the director of any organizational impediments to the team's productivity that he is aware of. He suggests collaborating with him on how to remove these impediments.

He educates his director on how it is part of a team’s self-management to improve velocity. He invites the director to the next Sprint Retrospective to brainstorm on how they can improve.

He helps the director understand that it typically takes a few Sprints for a team to gradually increase the velocity up to the level expected. Meanwhile he presents this to the team as a challenge and a company goal, leaving it however up to them to figure out exactly how to achieve this.

He tells the director that this is not his responsibility in Scrum. He tells the director to work with the Product Owner to check whether the estimates on the Product Backlog are being respected during implementation.

Question 69

In what ways does the Scrum Master keep the Developers working at their highest level of productivity? (Choose the best answer)

By causing the removal of impediments to the Scrum team’s progress and helping the Scrum team focus on creating high-value Increments that meet the Definition of Done

By helping the Developers with user acceptance tests and tracking defects.

By ensuring each member takes turns speaking at the Daily Scrum and ending the event on time.

By keeping the Scrum board and burn-down chart updated daily.

Question 70

Which of the following statements are true about the Scrum Master accountability? (Choose the best answer)

The Scrum Master assigns tasks to Developers and ensures they are completed within the committed timebox.

The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum team understand which interactions are helpful and teaches the Developers to keep the Scrum meetings within the timebox.

The Scrum Master is responsible for updating the Scrum board and ensuring team members avoid conflicts.

At the Sprint Review, the Scrum Master demonstrates the completed Increment and answers any questions from the stakeholders.
