QUESTION 45
During Sprint Planning, the Development Team was not able to confidently forecast a Sprint Backlog but the Scrum Team was able to create a Sprint Goal for upcoming Sprint. What action should the Scrum Master take?

Postpone the Sprint in order for the Product Owner to refine the Product Backlog to the level needed.

Extend the Sprint Planning time-box until the Development Team can forecast enough items to begin the Sprint.

Forecast the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.

QUESTION 46
Steven is a Scrum Master for three different teams building a single product from the same Product Backlog.
Development Team members from each team have approached Steven complaining that their teams need Nicole, an external specialist, to commit full time for their next Sprint.
Which three acceptable solutions would Steven consider? (Choose three.)

For Sprints that require Nicole’s expertise for more than one team, combine the teams into one and separate when they no longer need to share her services.

Investigate whether applying additional techniques or frameworks for scaling Scrum would be appropriate for this product team in the future, since you have multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, with dependencies between the teams.

People from the Development Teams with an interest in Nicole’s domain could volunteer to take on this work in their respective teams.

Ask Nicole for a plan to hire and train additional people in her domain, and in the meantime work with the Product Owner and Development Teams to re-prioritize the work so that tasks not depending on Nicole can be done first.

Have the Development Team re-order the Product Backlog so Nicole can serve one team full-time in a Sprint.

Create a team with Nicole and people from the teams to temporarily work in Nicole’s domain to serve the existing teams.

QUESTION 47
User documentation is part of your Definition of Done. However, there are not enough technical writers for all teams. Your Scrum Team does not have a technical writer. What needs to be done?
(choose the best answer)

Your Scrum Team is still accountable for creating user documentation. In this case, the Developers will write it.

Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by any available technical writers.

Form a separate team of technical writers that will work on an on-demand basis for the various Product Owners. Work order will be first in, first out.

QUESTION 48
A Scrum Team must have a Product Owner and Scrum Master.

False. A Scrum Master is only necessary when requested or needed.

True. Each must be a full-time member on the Scrum Team.

True. Their participation and availability will impact the outcomes produced by the Scrum Team.

Arrange one-on-one coaching sessions where concerns the Scrum Master has identified can be discussed.

Hold longer, more in-depth retrospectives with formal learning as part of the retrospective.

Schedule group training about Scrum.

Require senior management to mandate that all teams in the organization must follow and enact Scrum.

Educate stakeholders and customers about Scrum.

QUESTION 50
Respect is one of the five Scrum values. Which statements demonstrate respectful behavior in the Scrum Team?
(choose the best two answers)

Respect the accountabilities of the Scrum Team members.

Respect the Product Owner by letting them change the Sprint Goal during the Sprint

Respect people, their experience, diversity, and difference in opinion

Respect stakeholder expectations that Scrum Teams will meet their forecast.

Explanation
Respect is one of the Scrum values that means recognizing the value of each individual and their contribution, trusting them to fulfill their tasks, listening to and considering their ideas, and acknowledging their accomplishments. Respect also means honoring the diversity of people, their experiences, and their opinions.
Respect facilitates collaboration, learning, and creativity in the Scrum Team.
Some statements that demonstrate respectful behavior in the Scrum Team are:
Respect the accountabilities of the Scrum Team members. This means that each role in the Scrum Team has a clear set of responsibilities and expectations, and that other team members respect those boundaries and do not interfere with or undermine them. For example, the Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Developers, and the Developers respect that by following the Product Owner’s guidance on what to work on and what not to work on. The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide, causing change that increases the productivity of the Scrum Team, and working with other Scrum Masters to increase the effectiveness of the application of Scrum in the organization. The Developers respect that by adhering to the Scrum framework, being open to feedback and improvement, and collaborating with other Scrum Teams when needed.
Respect people, their experience, diversity, and difference in opinion. This means that each person in the Scrum Team is valued as a skilled professional who brings unique perspectives and insights to the team.
The team members respect each other’s expertise, skills, and ideas, and are willing to learn from each other and from their stakeholders. They also respect that people may have different opinions or preferences on how to approach a problem or a solution, and they seek to understand those differences rather than dismiss or ignore them. They engage in constructive dialogue and respectful disagreement when necessary, and they support team decisions even if they are not their personal choices.
Some statements that do not demonstrate respectful behavior in the Scrum Team are:
Respect the Product Owner by letting them change the Sprint Goal during the Sprint. This is not respectful because it violates the Scrum framework and undermines the Developers’ autonomy and commitment. The Sprint Goal is a shared objective that provides guidance to the Developers on why they are building an Increment. It is crafted by the Product Owner in collaboration with the Developers during Sprint Planning, and it remains fixed for the duration of the Sprint unless a significant change occurs that invalidates it. Allowing the Product Owner to change the Sprint Goal during the Sprint would disrupt the focus and alignment of the Developers, introduce uncertainty and confusion, and reduce transparency and accountability.
Respect stakeholder expectations that Scrum Teams will meet their forecast. This is not respectful because it implies that stakeholders have unrealistic or unreasonable expectations that are not based on empirical evidence or feedback. The forecast is a plan for what functionality will be delivered in an Increment by the end of a Sprint. It is based on what is known at Sprint Planning, but it is not a guarantee or a commitment. The forecast may change during the Sprint as new information emerges or as unforeseen challenges arise. The Scrum Team respects stakeholders by being transparent about their progress and any changes to their forecast, by delivering a valuable Increment at least by the end of every Sprint, by seeking feedback from stakeholders during Sprint Review, and by incorporating that feedback into future Sprints.

QUESTION 51
After several Sprints, a key stakeholder starts using the product. The stakeholder is surprised by the slow performance and complains to the Product Owner. The Product Owner comes to the Scrum Master asking for advice.
What is the best action for a Scrum Master to take?

Wait until the next Sprint Retrospective as it is the most opportune time to modify the Definition of Done.

Bring the concern to the testers in the Development Team and ask them to include performance testing.

Explain to the Product Owner that it’s up to the Development Team to. decide on acceptable performance standards as they own the Definition of Done.

Encourage the Product Owner to bring the performance concerns to the Development Team and work with them on how to improve performance, and ultimately have stronger Definition of Done.

QUESTION 52
Steven is a Scrum Master for three different teams building a single product from the same Product Backlog. Development Team members from each team have approached Steven complaining that their teams need Nicole, an external specialist, to commit full time for their next Sprint.
Which three acceptable solutions would Steven consider? (Choose three.)

For Sprints that require Nicole’s expertise for more than one team, combine the teams into one and separate when they no longer need to share her services.

Investigate whether applying additional techniques or frameworks for scaling Scrum would be appropriate for this product team in the future, since you have multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, with dependencies between the teams.

People from the Development Teams with an interest in Nicole’s domain could volunteer to take on this work in their respective teams.

None. A new Sprint starts immediately following the conclusion of the previous Sprint.

Enough time for the last Increment to finish testing.

Enough time for the Product Owner to prepare the Product Backlog for Sprint Planning.

All of the above are allowed.

QUESTION 54
Which approach would you recommend to ensure that the Product Backlog items discussed at Sprint Planning are well understood, actionable, and easier to forecast?

Having a separate group of business analysts and functional testers analyzing high-ordered Product Backlog items before Sprint Planning.

Having the Product Owner work with stakeholders between the end of the last Sprint and before beginning the next to prepare the Product Backlog items so not to interrupt the Development Team.

Having the business analysts in the Development Team create the upcoming Product Backlog items during a Sprint and adding them to the next Sprint’s forecast.

Having the Development Team use some time during each Sprint to help the Product Owner analyze, estimate, and design items at the top of the Product Backlog that is projected to be worked on in the upcoming Sprint.

(choose the best answer)

Visit the five Scrum Teams each day to facilitate alignment and synchronization of their Sprint Backlogs.

Collect the Sprint tasks from the teams at the end of their Sprint Planning and merge that into a consolidated plan for the entire Sprint.

Teach the Product Owner to work with the lead developers on ordering Product Backlog in a way to avoid too much technical and development overlap during a Sprint.

Teach them that it is their responsibility to form Scrum Teams with the skills and knowledge to create an Increment by the end of every Sprint.

QUESTION 58
After some small experiments with Scrum, your company decides to do a complete project with Scrum. As Scrum Master; you have been invited to the “project kick-off meeting” with IT and product management The Product Owner asks how many Sprints IT will need to first figure out architecture and infrastructure issues. What are two options to explain how such work is managed using Scrum?
(choose the best two answers)

You explain that product management should not worry about such typical IT work. You inform them that you will assure that the team members reach out to the right people within the IT organization when needed During each Sprint Planning event they will keep the Product Owner updated about the additional effort it will take for that Sprint. That effort will come on top of the effort for the forecasted functional development.

You explain that technical risks are best controlled when architecture and infrastructure emerge alongside the development of functionality. The additional advantage is that business value is created faster and sooner.

You thank product management for understanding that these efforts indeed require effort and budget You confirm that architecture and infrastructure are best addressed before starting Scrum, but that the exact budget is difficult to calculate upfront You say you will organize this work in timeboxed Sprints of no more than 30 days to limit risk and be transparent toward product management on the actual progress.

You educate the Product Owner to add this work to the Product Backlog to uphold transparency. Ask the Developers to plan work during the first several Sprints to estimate these items, while also creating some business functionality in these early Sprints

QUESTION 59
You are the Scrum Master of a Scrum Team that is new to Scrum. The Product Owner comes to you halfway through the Sprint and says, “l do not feel like the De-velopers will be able to meet the forecast that they developed during Sprint Planning.” What should you do in this situation?
(choose the best answer)

Coach the Product Owner that achieving the Sprint Goal is the Scrum Team’s objective. A forecast is only used to initially estimate the effort required to reach the Sprint Goal.

Agree to help the Product Owner by having a discussion with the Developers about the importance of meeting their forecast.

Add more people to the Scrum Team to meet the Product Owner’s ex-pectations.

Talk to the Developers. Challenge and inspire them to complete all of the work so that they meet their forecast.

QUESTION 60
Successful use of Scrum depends on how well people behave and act in ways that reflect the Scrum values. What can the value of openness affect?

Collaboration efforts.

Level of product quality.

Team member happiness.

Time to market.

Trust from stakeholders.

All of the above.

QUESTION 61
The Development Team has suggested to move the Daily Scrum to every other day instead of every day.
What is the most appropriate action for the Scrum Master to take?

Learn why the Development Team wants this, coach the team on why the Daily Scrum is important and work with them to improve the outcome of the Daily Scrum.

Support the self-organizing team’s decision.

Have the Development Team members vote on which days the Daily Scrum should occur.

QUESTION 62
The director of engineering in your organization always stresses the importance of meeting deadlines in order for the engineering department to be seen as a reliable source for the product management department. The director has calculated that the team’s velocity needs to increase an additional 15% to meet the commitment he made to management for the release date of the product.
He asks Steven, the team’s Scrum Master, to increase his team’s velocity. Which would be the best two responses for Steven to take? (Choose two.)

He explains how a team uses the velocity of a Sprint primarily to forecast work for the next Sprint, not to perfectly predict future productivity. He refers the director to the Product Owner for all information concerning the progress of development.

He informs the director of organizational impediments he is aware of that prevent the team from being more productive. He suggests collaborating with him on how to remove these impediments.

He educates his director how it is part of a team’s self-organization to improve velocity. He invites the director to the next Sprint Retrospective to brainstorm on how they can improve.

He helps the director understand that it typically takes a few Sprints for a team to gradually increase the velocity up to the level expected. Meanwhile he presents this to the team as a challenge and a company goal, leaving it however up to them to figure out exactly how to achieve this.

He tells the director that this is not his responsibility in Scrum. He tells the director to work with the Product Owner to check whether the estimates on the Product Backlog are being respected during implementation.

QUESTION 63
During the Sprint Review the Product Owner introduces the functionality that is likely to be done over the next Sprints. The Chief Security Officer reminds everyone that through the envisioned functionality, sensitive personal user data will be stored. This might be the subject of external security audits. He reminds everyone of important non-functional requirements with regards to security. These were not applicable and not considered previously What are two effective ways the Scrum Team can manage these high-security concerns?
(choose the best two answers)

They are discussed, determined, and documented in parallel Sprints to not disturb the actual feature development Once analyzed, they should be applied to the work already done before further feature development can continue.

The impact of these security concerns on past and future work needs to be determined before new Sprints can start. A list of security-related Product Backlog items needs to be passed on to the Product Owner before starting the next Sprint

They are added to the Product Backlog and addressed throughout the next Sprints, combined with creating the business functionality in those Sprints, no matter how small that business functionality.

During the Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Team assesses how to add these expectations to the Definition of Done so every future Increment will live up to these requirements. If needed they can work with external specialists to better understand the requirements

They should be managed by a separate specialist team in a parallel Sprint, so they can be specifically resolved through an improved application design without hindering functional development.
