EVALUATION QUESTIONS ANSWERS
COMPLETE SOLUTION VERIFIED PASS
●● Your company has notified the stakeholders that they will be
delivering the first release of a new product within ten Sprints. On the
seventh Sprint, the Scrum Team discovers that they will not be able to
include all of the expected features within the first release.
The Product Owner believes if they remove some items from the
Definition of Done they will be able to accelerate the development
process. The Development Team objects to this idea as it will lead to
technical debt.
As a Scrum Master, what would be the best two ways to explain to the
Product Owner the impact of technical debt?
(Choose two.)
A.
As long as there is still technical debt in the current release, feature
development for the next release cannot be started. The Product Owner
must first agree to this impact before allowing changes to the Definition
of Done.
B.
Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as
development progresses
,Answer: B, C
Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as
development progresses and functionality is added. It also creates false
assumptions about the actual state of the system.
"Extra Sprints" are not allocated in Scrum to account for technical debt.
Each Sprint should create a POTENTIALLY releasable Increment.
●● Part of the team's Definition of "Done" requires creating or updating
technical documentation in order to maintain the product and/or features
in the future. The team's technical writer will be on vacation during the
Sprint.
What should you do?
A.
Encourage the technical writers from other teams to form a specialized
team to organize and plan the work for multiple teams.
B.
The Development Team members will write it as they are still
responsible for creating the documentation to make the Increment done
in conformance with their Definition of "Done."
C.
Wait until the technical writer returns before continuing with related
items.
D.

documentation to the Product Backlog to be done in a subsequent Sprint.
Answer: B.
The Development Team members will write it as they are still
responsible for creating the documentation to make the Increment done
in conformance with their Definition of "Done."

needed to deliver an Increment in accordance with their Definition of
Done.
●● A new Product Owner has joined an existing Scrum Team that has
been working together for eight Sprints.
The Development Team has grown to have a good understanding of the
functionality and business for the product they have been building. The

responsibilities.
As a Scrum Master explain what two acceptable ways of helping the
Product Owner would be.
(Choose two.)
A.

You inform the Product Owner that, in today's highly competitive
markets, it is important that the Development Team is updated on
changing business priorities on a daily basis. Th
Answer: A, D
The Product Owner is the direct line of communication with the
stakeholders. The PO must communicate with them to understand the
business value of the Product. The PO can then communicate the value

C is incorrect because there is no "analysis phase" in Scrum.
●● What is management's role in Scrum?
A.
To provide the necessary environment and support needed as defined by
the Scrum Guide by providing insights and resources that help the
