Question 1

The Scrum values promote Development Teams be cross-functional and have all the skills needed to build a

product within the team.

While starting Scrum, what would be the advantages of keeping the existing component teams (e.g. design,

database, backend, frontend)?

Options :

A : Component teams would have all the skills needed to focus on their specific technical layer.

B : Component teams generally have all the skills needed to deliver shippable Increments that add business value.

C : Because their productivity is already predictable, they can deliver shippable Increments more quickly than a newly formed team.

D : Because they have been working together for some time, there will be less initial disruption than a newly formed team. As they begin working, they will discover what works best and how to move towards cross- functional teams.

E : There is less communication overhead than working in feature teams.

Answer: D

Question 2

According to Scrum theory, how should a group of fifty people be divided into multiple Development Teams?

Options :

A : Allow the team leads to divide and select teams.

B : Understanding the product, the product vision and the Scrum framework, the group self-organizes into teams.

C : Create a skills matrix, identify role levels, and years of experience to assign people to teams.

D : The teams will rotate members every Sprint to spread knowledge.

Answer: B

Question 3

During the Sprint Retrospective, the newest developer says that his perspective and ideas have been ignored by the rest of the Developers throughout the Sprint. What Scrum values are touched here? (Choose three.)

Options :

A : Openness

B : Transparency

C : Courage

D : Respect

E : Focus

F : Commitment

Answer: A,C,D

Question 4

Peter is a new Product Owner on a newly formed Scrum Team. Peter has projected a product completion date

based on an estimated velocity of 21 completed points per Sprint. After the first 3 Sprints, the team has

determined that their maximum velocity is 15 points and they are unable to create shippable increments at the

end of each Sprint.

What is the best way to proceed?

Options :

A : The Sprints have failed to produce shippable Increments there for opportunities to inspect and adapt is lost. The Scrum Master would encourage the organization to add more team members in order to increase the team’s capacity.

B : The Scrum Master would coach the team on improving their estimations and commitment to completing the Sprint Backlog.

C : Extend the Sprint in order to complete the Sprint Backlog items.

D : Inform Peter that the projected completion date is not correct. The Development team would estimate the remaining work to produce a shippable Increment and suggest making it “Done” before working on new features. Based on empirical data, Peter can adjust the completion date and decide how to continue.

Answer: D

Question 5

In what two ways is velocity and technical debt related? (Choose two.)

Options :

A : They are not related because technical debt is non-functional and velocity is calculated based on end user functionality.

B : As the Development Team is working on new Product Backlog items, they may unexpectedly run into technical debt that will result the team’s velocity dropping.

C : A Development Team can artificially increase velocity by allowing technical debt to be incurred.

D : Adding estimates to technical debt will allow the Development Team to maintain constant velocity therefore ensuring predictability.

Answer: B,C
