In order to make investment decisions, the Product Owner is likely to look at the Total Cost of ß
Ownership (TCO) of the product being built. What costs will a Product Owner take into account?

The money spent on development of the product, often a fixed cost per Sprint multiplied by the Sprints required ß

All investments required to conceive, develop, operate and maintain the product

The accumulated cost over the earned value of the product

In order to maximize the value of the product, a Product Owner needs awareness of the ß
following:

Competitive research ß

Customer feedback

Product vision

Forecasting and feasibility

All of the above

In the middle of the Sprint, the customer decides that there are 2 new features she wants. The ß
Product Owner should...

Help manage and increase the velocity of the Development Team's work so they may add the requirements to the ß
end of the Sprint.

Ask the Scrum Master to help integrate the requirements with the Development Team.

Introduce these features at the next Sprint Planning meeting.

Introduce these features at the next Daily Scrum.

In the Sprint Planning meeting, the Product Owner and the Development Team were unable to ß
reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product-Backlog items. Because of this, the
Development Team couldn't figure out how many Product Backlog items it could forecast for the
upcoming Sprint. They were able to agree on a Sprint Goal, however. Which of the following two
actions should the Scrum Master support?

Cancel the Sprint. Send the entire team to an advanced Scrum training and then start a new Sprint. ß

Forecast the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial
design and plan. Once the time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, start the Sprint and continue to analyze, decompose,
and create additional functionality during the Sprint.
 Continue the Sprint Planning meeting past its time-box until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well
enough understood for the Development Team to make a complete forecast. Then start the Sprint.

Discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.

Ask everyone to take as much time as needed to analyze the Product Backlog first, and then reconvene another Sprint
Planning meeting.

It is mandatory for the Product Owner to monitor and share progress of Product Backlog ß
through...

A Product or Release burn-down chart ß

Any projective practice based on trends of work completed and upcoming work

Learning turns into 'validated learning' when assumptions and goals can be assessed through ß
results. What is a key way for a Product Owner to apply validated learning?

Release an Increment to the market to learn about the business assumptions built into the product. ß

Accept an Increment at the Sprint review to learn about the forecast of functionality that was developed.

Set the Sprint Goal before selecting Product Backlog items at Sprint Planning to learn about a Development Team's
productivity.

Multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product or system all select work from the same ß
Product Backlog.

True ß

False

Must the Product Owner be present at the Sprint Retrospective? ß

It is optional. Attendance is only required when the Product Owner gets invited by the Scrum Master. ß
 It is mandatory. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to assess its performance and improve
itself.

It is not allowed. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Development Team to inspect itself.

One of the Scrum events is the Daily Scrum. What are two intended outcomes of the Daily ß
Scrum?

A shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken next to achieve the best possible progress ß
toward the Sprint goal.

An updated Scrum board to make Sprint progress transparent for the stakeholders.

An update of completed tasks and of the remaining work so the Scrum Master can plan the next day.

A status report for the upper management indicating what each individual has done, will be doing, and what is impeding
him/her.

New impediments for the Scrum Master to take care of.

Product Owners must specify complete acceptance criteria for product Backlog item before the ß
team can select the item in Sprint Planning.

True ß

False
Scrum has a role called "Project Manager". ß

True ß

False

Scrum is a methodology that tells in detail how to build software incrementally. ß

True ß

False

Scrum is based on empirical process control theory. All of its artifacts must be transparent to ß
ensure sufficient accuracy of inspection. Select two ways to maintain the product backlog to
maximize its transparency?

The Product backlog always has the most actual insights. ß

Product backlog items should hold no more than 8 points of work, which is the average in the range of acceptable sizes of
1,2,3,5,8, and 13.

Product backlog is only updated at a release planning meeting with the stakeholders and the release train engineers
present.

Product backlog is only updated at the Sprint Review, when both the Scrum team and the stakeholders are available .

Product backlog items are sized appropriately, i.e. not bigger than a sprint and with preference for several doable items
in a sprint.

Scrum is based on empirical process control theory. All of its artifacts must be transparent to ß
ensure sufficient accuracy of inspection. Which two measures ensur that the product backlog is
transparent?

Select two ways in which technical debt impacts transparency. ß

When calculated and estimated, the total amount of technical debt shows exactly how long until the Product Owner ß
can release the Increment.

It leads to false assumptions about the current state of the system, specifically of an Increment being releasable at the
end of a Sprint.

As development progresses and code is added, the system becomes more difficult to stabilize, which results in future
work being slowed down in unpredictable ways.

It enhances transparency for the Product Owner as a Development Team is not allowed to do additional feature
development in a Sprint as long as there is technical debt.
