What are the two essential features a Scrum Team should possess? - ANS-It should choose
how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team
-It should have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on
others not part of the team
A system is decomposed into elements like workflows, features, capabilities, etc. How it
affects Scrum Teams on a scaled project? - ANSIt will be reflected in the implementation.
Two ways how Dev Teams can ensure a good application architecture? - ANS* Architecture
is an ongoing discussion
* The DT should have a set of architecture principles and follow them
How to start a big complex project? - ANSForm 1-2 teams of best developers for
implementing the core, add more teams later.
During sprint review stakeholders notice that the product development progress is not very
clearly visible and lacked transparency. Moreover, they are not able to understand the next
steps. Who is responsible for this? - ANSProduct Owner is responsible
Scrum Team decides they need to create one more artifact UI markup to better understand
the product feature, can they proceed or not since Scrum Teams should capture product
features/needs only in Product Backlog? - ANSOf course, the team can proceed. Right, PB
is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product. If the Scrum
Team does not understand what should be done next, it means the PB needs to be refined.
The Product Owner should put his product vision as backlog items, maybe with help of the
Development Team.
Can the PO invite stakeholders to PBL refinement sessions? - ANSI would say the PO
should not usually do this. The PO must be the arbiter of product value and how it is
represented to the team. Frequently key stakeholders do not know exactly what they want
and how it can be achieved. This is a job for the PO to understand their needs, decide how
they can be fulfilled with the maximum value.
Does the Product Backlog contain only functional requirements for the Product? - ANSNo
A Project Manager working with your Scrum Team has raised concerns about progress and
money spent. What are the two best responses? - ANS1) Scrum doesn't have PMs*
2) Share the PB and forecast for the sprint*
Who are the individuals the PO should consult with when considering the value of a
Product? - ANSThe most important individuals for maximizing value for the Product are the
Key Stakeholders. The PO should identify and involve them as necessary throughout the
development effort. The Key Stakeholders are typically customers, purchasers, users, and
, the people that fund the product's development. These people may be internal or external to
the Organization.
What is Product Owner work that a Product Owner might delegate? Choose one from (a.
Ordering PB, b. Writing user stories, c. Facilitating meetings). - ANSThe Product Owner can
delegate ordering the product backlog
What three things might a Scrum Product Owner focus on to ensure his product delivers
value? - ANS-Key Stakeholder Involvement
-Product Marketplace
-Product Release Decisions
My job as a Product Owner focuses on the following (Choose 2 answers): - ANS-Clearly
communicating project or release status and strategies to customers and stakeholders
-Working with customers and stakeholders to identify the most important product
requirements
All work to be done by the Development Team must ultimately originate from the Product
Backlog? - ANSI think, in the broad sense the answer is "yes". The PB is the source for the
Sprint Backlog. The Sprint Backlog is the source of the Dev Team work. However, only the
Dev Team knows how to implement Sprint Backlog Items. It can involve technical tasks, for
example, removing some technical debt or even installing a development environment for a
new developer.
A Product Owner can measure success by an increase in the team's velocity? - ANSNo. It is
just one of the first steps to success. Success in Scrum is getting maximum value with the
existing resources. Value, as defined in a Scrum context, is the financial (or social) benefit
an organization receives or might receive by creating and releasing the product under
development. In order for value to actually be captured, a release of the product must occur.
The sooner you release, the sooner you can start capturing the value created by the
product.Increase in team's velocity shows that the Dev Team became more mature and can
do more in the same time frame
The Sprint Review is mainly an inspect and adapt opportunity for which group? - ANSThe
Scrum Team and Stakeholders
If two Scrum Teams are added to the development of a product that previously only had one
Scrum Team, what will be the immediate impact on productivity of the original Scrum Team?
- ANSIts productivity is likely to decrease
What three factors are best considered when establishing the sprint length? Choose 3
answers. - ANS-is good because the bigger part of interaction with the Key Stakeholders
happens at the Sprint Review meeting. If the Sprint length is bigger, this feedback loop
becomes longer.
-Shorter Sprints is an effective way to hone in on the requirements or try out the technology
before committing to a solution.
-Shorter Sprints suppose that the Dev Team produces "done" increments more frequently. It
allows the PO to release the increments more frequently too.
