Question 1 of 80
1. Question
Scrum is a technique.
Pick 1Correct
A methodology is a set of principles, tools, and practices, which can be used to guide processes to achieve a particular goal. Usually, there is a prescriptive approach in a methodology and tends to replace the creativity, autonomy and, thinking of people.
A framework is a boundary, which leaves room for other practices and tools to be included but provides much of the process required. Usually, a framework is an abstract process with a freedom of selecting and using other concrete processes and practices in it.
Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. The Scrum framework is purposefully incomplete, only defining the parts required to implement Scrum theory. So, the Scrum Team on its own defines how it wants to create value through a variety of practices and tools.
Therefore, Scrum is a framework not a methodology, technique, tool, or practice.

Question 6 of 80
6. Question
Why does a Scrum Team always need a Scrum Master?
Pick 1Correct
The Scrum Master has two main accountabilities. First, establishing Scrum properly and helping the Team to be mature and effective about using Scrum. Second, causing the removal of impediments. It may seem when a Team becomes mature, they will not need a Scrum Master. Indeed, it is not true. According to the second accountability that impediments can always occur, even when the Team becomes mature, the Team always needs a Scrum Master. In fact, a Scrum Team is always encountering challenges, while the challenges’ difficulty, level, and shape may differ. Being more mature, having higher level challenges.

Question 7 of 80
7. Question
What are the traits of a high-performance Scrum Team?
Pick all that applyCorrect
A high-performance Scrum Team lives the Scrum Values deeply. Mistakes are mandatory and when they are made, they are celebrated. There are many constructive conflicts based on trust in the Team. Instead of living by the rules, they make the rules. They help their customers become more successful. The Team can release the Increment with just one press of a button through an automated continuous delivery pipeline. They evolve DoD (Definition of Done) over time and add more stringent criteria to it continuously and adhere to it completely. Almost every Sprint, the Team reaches the Sprint Goal and sometimes they exceed expectations. You can obviously see a high level of creativity, productivity, and accountability in the Team. Members are highly knowledgeable, autonomous, and self-organizing and use continuous improvement in all aspects of their processes and environment.

Question 11 of 80
11. Question
One of the best ways that a Scrum Master can help the Product Owner for Product Backlog management is ordering the Product Backlog instead of the Product Owner. Is it the right behavior?
Pick 1Correct
According to the Scrum Guide, one of the Scrum Master’s services to the Product Owner is finding techniques for effective Product Goal definition and Product Backlog management, so (s)he can suggest these techniques to the Product Owner. In addition, (s)he should help the Product Owner to understand the product planning in an empirical environment. Doing ordering instead of the Product Owner prevents self-organization fostering. The Scrum Master’s tools are just coaching, mentoring, facilitating, training, and teaching others to work properly in the Scrum framework and in this case Product Backlog management.

Question 12 of 80
12. Question
What will happen if the Scrum Master selects Product Backlog Items for the Sprint?
Pick 1Correct
The Product Owner or Scrum Master should not determine or force the Developers to select enough items from the Product Backlog because this manner decreases their commitment, as they may not believe they can finish all the selected items until the end of the Sprint. It is up to the Developers to select enough items for the Sprint without any worry about blame or outside force, as they know the best how to do the work. Therefore, the authority of selecting enough amount of PBIs for the Sprint belongs to the Developers.

Question 14 of 80
14. Question
What is the purpose of having Artifacts?
Pick all that applyCorrect
Scrum’s artifacts represent work or value. They are designed to maximize transparency of key information. Each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured. However, we do not have complete and comprehensive plans in Scrum, because there are always some unknowns in the project so they are fundamentally incomplete and dynamic. Finally, they are not created for the organization’s control. Indeed, we try to empower the Scrum Teams to be self-managing and cross-functional to manage their work on their own.

Question 15 of 80
15. Question
Having too few Developers decreases interaction and results in smaller productivity gains.
Pick 1Correct
The Scrum Team is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work within a Sprint, typically 10 or fewer people. In general, smaller teams communicate better and are more productive. Too few members decrease interaction and results in smaller productivity gains. Smaller Teams may encounter skill constraints during the Sprint, causing the Team to be unable to deliver a potentially releasable Increment. Too large Team requires too much coordination. Large Teams generate too much complexity for an empirical process to be useful.

Question 20 of 80
20. Question
Why is not it recommended to change Team composition in the middle of the Sprints?
Pick 3Correct
Adding new members to the Team will lead to a temporary reduction in productivity because new member needs time to be familiar with the Team’s environment, culture, and the product and old members need to collaborate on new member’s onboarding. Furthermore, a bigger Team does not mean that it can create more value. It is recommended to change Team composition at the beginning of the Sprints.

Question 23 of 80
23. Question
What will happen if the Developers accept the work that one outside the Team orders them to do in the middle of the Sprint?
Pick 2Correct
The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the Developers’ work. Changing the Sprint Backlog items in the middle of the Sprint may endanger the Sprint Goal and interrupt Team’s focus. So, in this case, the Developers should inform the Product Owner so that (s)he can work with the one who has ordered unplanned work.
On the other hand, accepting unplanned work does not mean you are creating the highest value. In addition, respect does not mean you should always create all things that the stakeholders want because it may not necessarily create value.

Question 24 of 80
24. Question
Implementing all tasks of the selected Product Backlog Items for the Sprint means the Developers have created a done and potentially releasable Increment at the end of the Sprint.
Pick 1Correct
The Developers try to produce a done usable and potentially shippable and releasable Increment and piece of working software at the end of each Sprint.
On the other hand, finishing their tasks does not necessarily mean they create a releasable Increment because they may miss some tasks for converting the selected Product Backlog Items into a done Increment.Incorrect

Question 25 of 80
25. Question
What are the commitments of the Artifacts?
Pick 1Correct
Each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured:
● For the Product Backlog it is the Product Goal.
● For the Sprint Backlog it is the Sprint Goal.
● For the Increment it is the Definition of Done.Incorrect

Question 27 of 80
27. Question
How does the Scrum Team deal with the undone Items at the end of the Sprint?
Pick 3Correct
If the Team does not complete all Sprint Backlog Items at the end of the Sprint, the Sprint will be over with the completed Items. There is no blame or other same things. However, it is a valuable fact as an input for the Sprint Retrospective to inspect if there is any problem in the development process or anything else.
Extending or shortening a special Sprint duration is forbidden. Undone Items should not be included in the Increment. Instead, all undone Items should be re-estimated and move back to the Product Backlog and if through Product Backlog ordering, these Items remain on top of the Product Backlog, they can be selected for the next Sprint.

Question 35 of 80
35. Question
When is a Sprint finished?
Pick 1Correct
Sprint is the sole event that cannot be finished or over earlier or later than its predefined time-box duration. Other events are time-boxed but can be finished earlier if the team achieves each event’s goal.
On the other hand, it is possible that the Team finishes all selected Sprint Backlog Items and tasks before the Sprint time-box, but the Team should continue the Sprint until the end of the related time-box by accepting new Items from the Product Backlog by negotiating with the Product Owner.

Question 37 of 80
37. Question
Why is conducting Daily Scrums at the same time and place important?
Pick 1Correct
The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute daily meeting. Changing its place and time regularly leads to a coordination overhead for a member to prepare a place and increases complexity for the Team members to find the meeting time and place. Having it at the same time and place reduces its overhead and complexity.

Question 38 of 80
38. Question
Which factors should be considered to determine the Sprint length?
Pick all that applyCorrect
Sprints enable predictability by ensuring inspection and adaptation of progress toward a Product Goal at least every calendar month. When a Sprint’s horizon is too long the Sprint Goal may become invalid, complexity may rise, and risk may increase. Shorter Sprints can be employed to generate more learning cycles and limit risk of cost and effort to a smaller time frame. Each Sprint may be considered a short project.

Leaving the Sprint Backlog intact when the Developers find they have overcommitted in the middle of the Sprint, may lead to some undone Items at the end of the Sprint.
Pick 1Correct
When the Developers are in the middle of the Sprint, they could not change the Sprint Backlog items by themselves. If they find they have overcommitted, they should inform the Product Owner to review the items together and negotiate the scope if necessary or they might leave the Sprint Backlog intact that may lead to some undone items at the end of the Sprint, which naturally will move back to the Product Backlog.

Question 45 of 80
45. Question
Because the Developers can add or remove the tasks as an element of the Sprint Backlog, so we can say they can update the Sprint Backlog.
Pick 1Correct
Sprint Backlog contains three elements: Sprint Goal, Sprint Backlog Items, and Tasks. Although changing Sprint Goal and Sprint Backlog Items are not allowed, tasks could be added or removed at any time during the Sprint when the Developers learn more about the work needed to realize the Sprint Goal. So, the Sprint Backlog could be updated and changed during the Sprint.

Question 48 of 80
48. Question
The Product Backlog is not a comprehensive plan and exists as long as the project exists.
Pick 1Correct
All upfront effort to create a complete and comprehensive plan is a type of waste because during the project when members learn more about the project and new things emerge, changes in the requirements and direction are inevitable. So, some of the planned work should be thrown away. On the other hand, Scrum is an adaptive approach, not predictive, and uses empiricism. Furthermore, there are not any phases such as requirement specification phase or special Sprints such as Sprint Zero in Scrum for project upfront planning. Finally, it is not a baseline plan with a purpose to maintain it intact.
Briefly, Product Backlog provides just enough information to enable the Developers to select and develop PBIs for the next few Sprints. Also, it evolves throughout the project and is never complete.

Question 49 of 80
49. Question
The Developers have agreed that a feature is complete. Is it enough to have a done feature?
Pick 1Correct
Finishing Product Backlog Items is an important concept in Scrum. It emphasizes that all Team members should have a common understanding of done. Therefore, Definition of Done is introduced as part of the Scrum and defines all required work that should be completed before an end user be able to use the product and nothing else remains before its release.
Although the Product Owner approval could be required, it does not mean the PBI completeness. As a tip, the Product Owner approval would be a criteria in the Definition of Done. Furthermore, approving PBIs’ completeness is not the Scrum Master’s responsibility. In addition, there could be many things in the Definition of Done that customers do not know about such as code quality metrics’ thresholds, so customers also could not determine PBIs’ completeness. Finally, the Developers’ agreement is not enough about an Item’s completeness because they may forget to do some tasks for having a usable and releasable feature.
Done or completeness of a PBI can be explained through the following statements:
– When everything is done based on the Definition of Done
– When there is nothing more to do before it can be used by the end users
– When it is potentially releasable and shippable
– The Item is usable by the end user

Question 50 of 80
50. Question
Passing the Definition of Done would be an item of the Acceptance Criteria.
Pick 1Correct
Definition of Done is a concept with a set of requirements that should be applied to a feature in order to be called complete. On the other hand, Acceptance Criteria or Conditions of Satisfaction contains a list of scenarios that should be passed to ensure that the feature is working as expected. The difference is that there is one Definition of Done for the product and is common for all features while there is a separate and specific Acceptance Criteria for each feature. Passing Acceptance Criteria would be an item of the Definition of Done.

How many hours per day should the Developers work?
Pick 1Correct
Developers should be fast and nimble through their productive processes and individuals’ skills not by working overtime, organizational policies, or forces. Overtime is a symptom that there are some problems in the process or environment. On the other hand, establishing a balance between work and personal life leads to better productivity that occurs at a sustainable pace. This sustainable pace is usually between 6 and 8 hours a day. Working in Sprints at a sustainable pace improves the Scrum Team’s focus and consistency.

Postponing feature completion to the end of the release prevents having reliable inspect and adapt based on the market feedback.
Pick 1Correct
The main purpose of the Sprint time-box is developing releasable features and getting feedback from the market, customers, and stakeholders based on done features frequently. Postponing feature completion will lead to miss gathering feedback and lose inspect and adapt opportunities and limit the Product Owner to be as nimble as possible about releasing features. In addition, each release usually contains outputs of several Sprints, and postponing feature completion to the end of the release, increases integration risks and related issues.

Project burn-down chart trend line can be used to show the forecast date by then all remaining work in the Product Backlog will likely be completed.
Pick 1Correct
Project or release burn-down chart indicates the remaining work at the end of each Sprint. Its Y-axis shows the total remaining work and the X-axis shows Sprint numbers. If you draw a trend line from the project beginning remaining work to the amount of the remaining work at the end of the current Sprint and continue to cross the X-axis, the intersect point shows the forecast date that all remaining work will likely be completed if nothing changes in the Product Backlog or the Team composition. It means adding or removing PBIs to/from Product Backlog or increasing/decreasing the number of Team members will affect this forecast.

Productive Scrum Teams use a few early Sprints of the project to only implement comprehensive and reliable architecture and infrastructure.
Pick 1Correct
Developers should have some guidelines for deciding and handling architectural and infrastructural concerns. They should handle these concerns as a part of other Product Backlog Items during each Sprint. Doing a lot upfront in order to make a comprehensive architecture at the beginning of the project is a type of waste. Handling architecture should be done incrementally based on the learnings that emerge during the Sprints. It is obvious that it uses more effort at the early Sprints and decreases during the middle and last Sprints. On the other hand, during each Sprint, the Team should try to produce at least one potential releasable business functionality in order to get feedback from customers. Therefore, adding architectural and infrastructural items to the Product Backlog in order to do in the early Sprints is a valid policy.
