Who Pull Product Backlog items for the Sprint? ✔️ Dev Team
Sam is from product and marketing area, but he is not an expert in software
development. He was assigned as the Product Owner. Should we choose
another person instead?
Yes, we need an expert on our specialist work, capable of communicating with
the customer
Yes, we need an expert on our specialist work, who is part of the Team
No, he doesn't need to be an expert on our specialist work, given that he gets
expert help when needed
No, he doesn't need to be an expert on our specialist work, he just needs to be
business oriented ✔️ No, he doesn't need to be an expert on our
specialist work, he just needs to be business oriented
The Product Owner is to be mainly business-oriented, and they do not need to
be technical; Development Team handles all the technical aspects of the
project.
,- If you manage a digital product that end users employ, such as a web or
mobile app, then you usually do not require in-depth technical skills, such as,
being able to program in Java, write SQL code, or know which machine
learning framework there are and if, say, TensorFlow is the right choice for
your product.
- *if you look after a technical product* — a *product that is integrated into a
larger offering* like a physics engine, which forms part of a computer game—
then you will require the appropriate technical skills in order to formulate
technical requirements and define software interfaces (APIs).
- the same applies if you are a *component owner*, someone who looks after
an architecture building block like a service, component, or layer that forms
part of a digital product: You will benefit from having hands-on experience in
the appropriate technologies.
How does an organization know that a product built through Scrum is
successful?
By measuring that velocity has increased since the last release
By releasing often, and updating key performance indicators (KPIs) on value
after every release and feeding this information back into work on the Product
Backlog
By measuring the actual time spent on development versus the time
estimated for development
By the Product Owner and stakeholders accepting the Increment at the Sprint
Review ✔️ By releasing often, and updating key performance
indicators (KPIs) on value after every release and feeding this information
back into work on the Product Backlog
Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing
opportunities for feedback. If a product isn't released, the opportunity to
capture user and market feedback is lost.
When should the Product Owner update the project plan?
The Product Backlog is the plan in Scrum. It is updated as new information
and insights emerge.
, Before the Sprint Planning to know how much work will have to be done in
the Sprint.
After the Daily Scrum to ensure an accurate daily overview of project
progress.
Scrum forbids having a project plan.
The Product Owner shouldn't be occupied by that. It is work for the Project
Manager. ✔️ The Product Backlog is the plan in Scrum. It is updated as
new information and insights emerge.
The Product Backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it
will be used evolves. The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to
identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful.
The Agile Principle "Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not
done - is essential" is best summed up by which phrase?
Maximize your work.
Avoid waste.
Work as little as possible.
What matters is quantity.
Only deliver once completed. ✔️ Avoid waste.
Once a Sprint begins, its duration is fixed and cannot be shortened or
lengthened. The remaining events may end whenever the purpose of the event
is achieved, ensuring an appropriate amount of time is spent without allowing
waste in the process.
How does Definition of "Done" help to the Scrum Team? Select the three most
applicable items.
DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment
Guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items
it can select during a Sprint Planning
DoD helps in inspection and adaptation
DoD ensures artifact transparency
DoD helps to calculate velocity of the Scrum Team ✔️ DoD is used to
