Question 1 of 80
1. Question
Usually, there is a prescriptive approach in a methodology for selecting practices and tools but a framework is a boundary, which leaves room for other practices and tools.
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 4 of 80
4. Question
What should a Scrum Master do when the Developers decide not to conduct Sprint Retrospective?
Pick 1Correct
Scrum Master does not have a position to instruct others. Scrum Master tools are teaching, coaching, mentoring, facilitating, helping, and guiding. In addition, a Scrum Master should focus on the Developers empowerment. So, it is not an acceptable policy to raise issues to top management immediately. Furthermore, the level of freedom depends on the maturity level of the Team. Even, the most mature Team does not have complete freedom because they should at least work within organizational boundaries. Finally, the main elements of Scrum are mandatory and immutable so the Team should not remove them because the result is not Scrum.

Question 5 of 80
5. Question
What are the characteristics 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 6 of 80
6. Question
In a project, customers are not satisfied with the software pages’ load speed. The Product Owner knows that they are right. How can the Scrum Master help the Product Owner to cope with this issue?
Pick 2Correct
This issue is a type of non-functional requirement that can be managed by adding them to the Definition of Done, adding them to the Product Backlog, or adding them to the acceptance criteria. In addition, transparency is the fundamental thing that all Scrum Team members should try to increase. So, the Product Owner should have the courage to talk about the issue directly with the Developers. On the other hand, the Scrum Team uses empiricism approach so they always inspect and adapt their way of working. Therefore, if the Product Owner finds a concern should share it with the Developers as soon as possible in order to prevent further deviation. Consequently, although the Sprint Retrospective is a great time to talk about this issue, the Team should not wait until this event occurrence. Finally, the Scrum Master should not give the solution (i.e. ask DevOps group) because it harms the Team’s self-management.

Question 8 of 80
8. Question
Daily Scrum is a mandatory event of Scrum that should be conducted every day. Who should start the meeting every day?
Pick 1Correct
Daily Scrum is an event just for the Developers in which they check their progress towards the Sprint Goal and make a plan for the next 24 hours. Consequently, the Scrum Master and the Product Owner are not present in the meeting to start the Daily Scrum. In addition, using a token is just a technique and optional which is not a required rule to determine who should start the meeting. Finally, the Developers themselves decide on who should start the meeting.

Question 9 of 80
9. Question
The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product. So (s)he selects enough Product Backlog Items for the Sprint to maximize the value.
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 12 of 80
12. Question
In a project, the Developers should wait for the result work of a third-party to continue its work, otherwise, they will be idle. Therefore, they ask the Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog in order to maximize their utilization. As a Scrum Master, what would you advise?
Pick 1Correct
The Product Owner’s main accountability is maximizing the flow of value delivery. His/her tool to meet this purpose is Product Backlog ordering. Maximizing people’s utilization is not a goal of Scrum. Instead, Scrum focuses on creating and delivering value. Maximizing Team utilization does not guarantee the Team creates maximum value. If the Developers are really idle, they can work on improving their working process, paying back technical debt, refactoring, improving their knowledge, …

Question 20 of 80
20. Question
You are in the tenth Sprint and your stakeholders are really unhappy about the result of the product and disappointed about their investment. What do you think may cause this situation?
Pick 3Correct
The Sprint Review is a great place to inspect and adapt the progress of the project at the end of each Sprint. After ten Sprints, this just shows that both the Scrum Team and the stakeholders have not been using this event adequately. The stakeholders might not participate in the Sprint Reviews actively. The Product Owner might not inform the stakeholders continuously. Moreover, even they might not have gathered feedback from the market effectively. On the other hand, there is no project manager role in Scrum and indeed there are not any control mechanisms like project control, PMO (project management office), etc. in Scrum projects. Finally, the stakeholders should not push their ideas to the Scrum Team.

Question 25 of 80
25. Question
What will happen for the undone Sprint Backlog Items at the end of the Sprint?
Pick 1Correct
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 27 of 80
27. Question
You are the Scrum Master of a Scrum Team. The Developers for each release need to ask the DevOps team to prepare some prerequisites. However, the DevOps team usually does the preparation with delay. The Developers ask you for help. What would be your first reaction to the Developers?
Pick 1Correct
According to the Scrum definition, the Developers are self-managing and cross-functional. Therefore, the Scrum Master should continuously help the Developers to be empowered. So, the first reaction should be to ensuring if they have already tried to resolve the issue by themselves. This reaction teaches them as a self-managing Team at first they should try to resolve the problems on their own and if they could not resolve the issue then they can ask the Scrum Master for help. Furthermore, resolving issues on behalf of the Developers prevents their growth as a Team and harms their self-management. Plus, the Scrum Team as a whole should try to cope with the problems without management interference. Asking managers for help should be the last solution. Finally, the Developers should not compromise with problems, issues, and as is situations because with this approach they will not get empowered and will not be able to create high-quality valuable increments continuously.

Question 28 of 80
28. Question
What most important things happen if the Developers decide to conduct the Daily Scrum event every three days?
Pick 3Correct
Daily Scrum is an event just for the Developers in which they check their progress towards the Sprint Goal, make a reliable plan for the next 24 hours, and raise impediments. Fundamentally, it is a great inspect and adapt opportunity. On the other hand, there are not any control mechanisms in Scrum. Therefore, managers should not control the Team. In addition, updating the Scrum board is the Developers’ responsibility. Finally, although a lot of work will be accumulated for the Team to update the Scrum board, it is not one of the most important consequences of conducting the Daily Scrum event every three days.

Question 30 of 80
30. Question
Three Teams work on the same product. You are the Scrum Master of all three Teams. One day, they come to you and explain that for a few upcoming Sprints they need an external technical expert fulltime. Over the organization, there is just one person who has this expertise. As the Scrum Master, what do you think are the most important subjects in this situation?
Pick 3Correct
In a situation that multiple Teams need a rare expert resource, at first, they should directly share the issue with that expert to collaborate with him/her for finding a solution. For example, some Developers with an interest in that expertise can be volunteers to learn from that expert and then come back to their Teams and take responsibility for that work. In addition, they should still be able to produce integrated releasable done Increments at the end of each Sprint. On the other hand, maximizing Developers’ utilization is not a goal in Scrum.

Question 31 of 80
31. Question
Doing daily integration interrupts the Team’s focus. Therefore, they have decided to postpone all integration work into a separate Sprint called Integration Sprint. Is it acceptable behavior?
Pick 1Correct
There is just regular Sprint in Scrum within which the Developers try to create releasable Increment. Therefore, there are no such things as Sprint Zero, Hardening Sprint, Stabilization Sprint, Integration Sprint, etc.
On the other hand, if they postpone integration work to the future, they will not create a done Increment and cannot gather feedback from the market.Incorrect

Question 33 of 80
33. Question
When can a Sprint be canceled?
Pick 2Correct
A Sprint is canceled when the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete or if it no longer makes sense. This might occur if the company changes direction or because of the market or technology conditions change. Just Product Owner has the authority to cancel a Sprint. Although others can affect her, she has the final say.

In the middle of the Sprint, the Developers find they have overcommitted. Who is responsible for adjusting the Sprint work and negotiating the scope?
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 44 of 80
44. Question
In scaled Scrum environment, all the Scrum Teams should have the same Sprint length.
Pick 1Correct
In scaled Scrum, having the same Sprint length for all Scrum Teams is not mandatory. However, having the same Sprint length is a good practice. Furthermore, Scrum Teams can have different Sprint lengths and it is better that the Sprint lengths be multiple of each Sprint length. For example, if the longer Sprint is four weeks, the shorter Sprint can be two weeks while the shortest Sprint can be one week. Because at the end of the longest Sprint length, all Scrum Teams should have an opportunity to bring an integrated releasable increment collectively.

Can the Developers change 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 47 of 80
47. Question
What is the usual comparison of Product Backlog Items average size in the Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog?
Pick 1Correct
During the Product Backlog refinement, Items are expressed with more details and broken down to the smaller Items that can be finished in a Sprint. In addition, more effort will pay to refine Items on top of the Product Backlog because they have more probability to be implemented in the upcoming Sprints so usually PBIs on top of the Product Backlog are smaller than PBIs in the bottom. Further, the Developers select Items for the Sprint from the top of the Product Backlog. Consequently, the average size of the Items in the Product Backlog is usually larger than the size of Items in the Sprint Backlog.

Question 49 of 80
49. Question
When is a feature done?
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
How does the Definition of Done help the Developers?
Pick 3Correct
Definition of Done is a fundamental concept of Scrum which creates a common understanding of when work is complete, helps developers understand how many Product Backlog Items they can select for each Sprint and increases transparency. In addition, it can be considered as a development process and contains many things such as quality criteria, metrics, non-functional requirements, etc. Finally, it is created by the Scrum Team (or the organization which can make minimum rules for all teams over the organization). The Team should have a Definition of Done at least based on the organization definition or with more stringent criteria.

Which one is true about the Definition of Done and 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.

Question 52 of 80
52. Question
If a Product Backlog Item is not Ready according to the “Definition of Ready,” the Developers should not select it for the Sprint.
Pick 1Correct
There is no “Definition of Ready” concept in Scrum so the Developers cannot refuse PBIs because they are not ready. Through Product Backlog refinement, the Product Owner and the Developers collaborate to clarify all aspects of the PBIs but if they did not do so, they would select PBIs from the top of the Product Backlog, start the Sprint, and add more details to the selected PBIs during the Sprint.

Question 56 of 80
56. Question
Which factors should be considered when dividing Developers into multiple Teams in scaled Scrum?
Pick 1Correct
The Developers in Scrum are self-organizing and self-managing, so based on knowing the product and its vision, they should decide how to divide themselves into multiple teams. Moreover, nobody else such as the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, or top management should make this decision.
In addition, they should consider each team should be cross-functional which means each team should have all required skills to convert Product Backlog Items to a releasable Increment. Also, they should adhere to the recommended size of each Team.
Furthermore, based on the situations, Teams’ compositions can be changed after each Sprint if needed.
On the other hand, developers’ utilization is not important as long as the teams deliver the product to the customer continuously.

Question 59 of 80
59. Question
The best tool for comparing Teams’ performance in scaled Scrum is velocity.
Pick 1Correct
Velocity is the average amount of work that a Team can complete in a single Sprint. Its main use is helping Teams during the Sprint Planning as a guide to the Teams’ capacity. It means how much work they could pick to complete until the end of the Sprint. In addition, velocity is a relative concept, which cannot be used for comparing other projects and other Teams. Different Teams have different characteristics, skills, experiences, and different goals. Using velocity as a comparison tool is wrong that can lead Teams to focus on increasing their velocity through unacceptable ways like inflation in estimation or cutting quality corners instead of delivering high value and quality software continuously.

Postponing feature completion to the end of the release increases integration risks and related issues.
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.

Question 67 of 80
67. Question
Which two of the following options are true?
Pick 2Correct
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.
In addition, there is no title and no sub-team among the Developers. Therefore, having an Architect role or architecture sub-team is not acceptable.

Question 69 of 80
69. Question
Which is true about the required effort amount for preparing development environment, tools, and infrastructures in a project lifecycle?
Pick 1Correct
The development environment, tools, and infrastructures required for the development should be prepared and improved gradually during the project. It is obvious that it uses more effort at early Sprints and decreases during the middle and last Sprints. In addition, during each Sprint, the Team should try to produce at least one potential releasable business functionality in order to get feedback from customers.

Question 71 of 80
71. Question
What is NOT true about technical debt?
Pick 1Correct
Technical debt comes from making bad technical decisions and is the eventual consequence of poor technical choices. The Team should pay it back continuously. If the Team does not pay back, it will decrease the development speed over time. Although its measurement is hard, its growth would lead to wrong assumptions about Increments delivery and even might prevent creating the releasable product.
On the other hand, each Sprint’s purpose is to create at least one releasable business functionality. So stopping it to pay the technical debt back is not a proper policy.
