develop the app. The team members have not used Scrum before. Which of the
following options are true regarding this question?

They may feel some frustration at first as they embark on the Scrum methodology and
in estimating user story work, so the product owner should work with the team to break
down user stories that are too large or to reduce the number per iteration, and over
time, the team will gain confidence in their estimating techniques.

This question describes a hybrid methodology, even though the team will be using
Scrum to develop the app.
You will help influence team member selection.

Ensure that the team members have a cross-functional set of skills, experiences, and
personalities.

perfect for this experiment. However, the project sponsor of this project is nervous about
using a new approach that's never been tried before. Which of the following actions should
you take in scenario?
Consider using a hybrid approach to help the sponsor feel a little more at ease,
because this will mix some of the processes with which they are familiar with agile
processes.

points. Which of the following statements are true regarding this question? (Choose two.)
Velocity is used to determine how long it will take to complete the work of the iteration. It
measures the speed with which the team progresses, not capacity. Kanban boards display work
based on capacity. Velocity is time bound.

13. You are using an agile project management methodology to deliver business value.
During each iteration, you and the team members are breaking down tasks into tangible
components that have enough features and functionality to allow the customer to examine
value and provide feedback to the team. Which of the following are true regarding this
question when using a Scrum methodology? (Choose two.)
The minimum viable product is a component of work, or a task, that's been broken down into the
lowest tangible feature, function, or result possible. The product owner is responsible for
determining if business value has been achieved. The project team does not manage or
prioritize the backlog; the product owner does. The Scrum master is a facilitator. Team
members do not report to the Scrum master, and they do not assign tasks to team members

21. Name the difference between the agile iterative approach and the agile incremental
approach as discussed in the Agile Practice Guide (PMI®, 2017).
The iterative approach uses prototypes and mockups produced in time-bound periods such as
sprints. The incremental approach produces usable deliverables at the end of the workflow,
