PSM 1 Practice Test Questions with 100% Accurate answers. Graded A+

Scrum is founded on - Empiricism Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Who is responsible for crafting the Sprint Goal at the Sprint Planning? - The Scrum Team After the Development Team forecasts the Product Backlog items it will deliver in the Sprint, the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal. How does Definition of "Done" help to the Scrum Team? - 1) DoD ensures artifact transparency 2) DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment 3) DoD guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during a Sprint Planning The Daily Scrum always should take exactly 15 minutes. For example, if your team managed doing it in 5 minutes, you should spend 10 more minutes on some useful team activity like Product Backlog refinement, but not more (T/F) - False All events in Scrum are time-boxed. It means that every event has a maximum duration. However, the Scrum Guide does not require a minimal duration for any event. As Scrum Teams mature, they can do some events faster (e.g. the Sprint Planning or the Sprint Retrospective). Who has the authority to cancel the Sprint? - The Product Owner Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel the Sprint, although he or she may do so under influence from the stakeholders, the Development Team, or the Scrum Master. The Scrum Master does the following regarding the Daily Scrum - Teaches the Development Team to keep the Daily Scrum within the 15-minute time-box Ensures that the Development Team has the meeting If others are present at the Daily Scrum, ensures that they do not disrupt the meeting Is it allowed to skip the Daily Scrum if there is nothing interesting to talk about? - No Each event in Scrum is a formal opportunity to inspect and adapt something. These events are specifically designed to enable critical transparency and inspection. Failure to include any of these events results in reduced transparency and is a lost opportunity to inspect and adapt. What is the input to the Sprint Planning? - The Product Backlog The latest product Increment Projected capacity of the Development Team during the Sprint Past performance of the Development Team How does the Scrum Master serve the Organization? - Working with other Scrum Masters to increase the effectiveness of the application of Scrum in the organization Leading and coaching the organization in its Scrum adoption Planning Scrum implementations within the organization Who is responsible for coping with incomplete artifact transparency? - The Scrum Master The Scrum Master's job is to work with the Scrum Team and the organization to increase the transparency of the artifacts. This work usually involves learning, convincing, and change. Could the Product Owner and the Scrum Master be a part of the Development Team? - Yes Yes if they are also executing the work of the Sprint Backlog. Who is responsible for all estimates in the Product Backlog? - The Development Team The Development Team is responsible for all estimates in the Product Backlog. The Product Owner may influence the Development Team by helping it understand and select trade-offs, but the people who will perform the work make the final estimate. All the Scrum Teams working on the same product should have the same Sprint length. (T/F) - False Scrum does not require having aligned Sprints for multiple teams. What are the two essential features a Scrum Team should possess? - It should have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team It should choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team Definition of Done can be reviewed and adapted during each Sprint Retrospective. (T/F) - True During each Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Team plans ways to increase product quality by improving work processes or adapting the definition of "Done", if appropriate and not in conflict with product or organizational standards. The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to: - Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools; Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements; Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work. The Scrum Master is focused primarily on the Scrum Team and usually does not care about those outside the Scrum Team. (T/F) - False The Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Scrum Team. The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum Team understand which of their interactions with the Scrum Team are helpful and which aren't. The Scrum Master helps everyone change these interactions to maximize the value created by the Scrum Team. What does Burn-down Chart show? - How much work remains till the end of the Sprint *Burn-down chart shows the evolution of remaining effort against time. Select the five Scrum Values - 1) Commitment 2) Courage 3) Focus 4) Openness 5) Respect What belongs solely to the Development Team? - The Sprint Backlog Only the Development Team can change its Sprint Backlog during a Sprint. The Sprint Backlog is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Development Team plans to accomplish during the Sprint, and it belongs solely to the Development Team.
