3) Batching of product release into one big bang -
ANSWER-Answer: All the above
What is the cone of uncertainty? - ANSWER-In complex adaptive
problems, the amount of the unknown is really huge
in the initial stages and will likely trend down over the
course of the product development.
The trend is called the cone of uncertainty.
What is the Critical Path Method (CPM)? - ANSWER-A way that
planners calculate the duration of the project during
,the initial stages by inputting such assumptions on things like
product definition, people productivity, etc.
What is Empiricism based on? - ANSWER-Based on the concept that
complex problems are hard to predict. Applies
an iterative, incremental approach to optimize
predictability and control risk.
Empiricism advocates observation rather than prediction to navigate
complex adaptive problems.
Select the best answer. Scrum is a newer way of doing things to
address complex problems. It is a new way because
a) It offers new terminology for traditional practice
b) It is easier to master than the traditional way
c) It increases the opportunity to control risk and optimize the
predictability of progress
d) It is closely associated with emerging technologies - ANSWER-

Scrum brings in new terminology, but it is not the primary difference.
It is easy to learn, but difficult to master. There is
incidental association of a lot of emerging technologies executed in

'd'.
How is progress measured in Scrum? What are the key performance
indicators (KPI)? - ANSWER-Answer: Only the
Increment is a measure of
progress in Scrum.
, In Scrum, Team Velocity (Rate of Completion) is a good metric to track
the progress of product development.
a) Yes
b) No - ANSWER-Answer: No. This is only an internal metric used by
the team to manager their work. It is not an indicator of progress for
stakeholders.
Is the Scrum Master only a teaching role? - ANSWER-Answer: No,
they are not just teachers or coaches, they are
responsible for many other activities that are instrumental in
transforming teams into value creators. An example of a
critical activity the play is when the Scrum Team runs into issues that
prevent it from achieving their goal and if these
issues are outside of the team's influence, the Scrum Master owns
these impediments and resolves them. They also
help the organization to adopt Scrum, set the goals to
improve the way of working in Scrum, etc.
What are the 5 values of Scrum? - ANSWER-1) Commitment
2) Courage
3) Focus
4) Openness
5) Respect
