o The Development Team

o The Scrum Master

Correct

The Product Owner is a vital leader in terms of getting feedback from the key stakeholders in
the Sprint Review.

3. 3. Question
The Sprint Backlog is created at the Sprint Planning. It is prohibited to add new work into the
Sprint Backlog later by the Development Team.

o True
 o False
Correct

The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint
Backlog emerges during the Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team
works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the Sprint
Goal. As new work is required, the Development Team adds it to the Sprint Backlog.

4. 4. Question
Imagine the following situation. At the Sprint Retrospective meeting the Scrum Team
identified some improvements that can be done. What should the Scrum Team do? Select
the best option.

o Make sure the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint includes at least one high
priority process improvement.

o Make sure the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint includes all the improvements.

o Assign responsible team members for every improvement. Check the

progress at the next Retrospective.

o Assign a responsible team member for at least one improvement. Check the
progress at the next Retrospective.
Incorrect

The Sprint Backlog makes visible all the work that the Development Team identifies as
necessary to meet the Sprint Goal. To ensure continuous improvement, it includes at least
one high priority process improvement identified in the previous Retrospective meeting.

7. 7. Question
Who has the “last say” on the order of items in the Product Backlog?

o The Product Owner and The Scrum Master

o The Development Team

o The Scrum Master

o The Product Owner

Correct

While the Product Owner is not the only person who may influence the ordering of the
Product Backlog, the Product Owner has the “last say” on the order of the Product Backlog,
and those wanting to change the order of the Product Backlog have to influence the Product
Owner to do so.

8. 8. Question
What are the time-boxes for the Sprint Review and the Sprint Retrospective?

o 4 hour time-box for each

o 3 hour time-box for each

o 3 and 4 hours respectively

o The Product Owner is responsible for inviting the Key Stakeholders to the Sprint
Review meeting

10. 10. Question

What happens when a Sprint is cancelled? Select three.

o At the Sprint Retrospective the Scrum Master determines who from the
Development Team is responsible for cancelling the Sprint

o Several top Product Backlog Items are taken into the Sprint Backlog to replace
the obsolete items

o All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put back on
the Product Backlog

o If part of the work is potentially releasable, the Product Owner typically

accepts it

o Any completed and “Done” Product Backlog items are reviewed

Correct

When a Sprint is cancelled, any completed and “Done” Product Backlog items are reviewed.
If part of the work is potentially releasable, the Product Owner typically accepts it. All
incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put back on the Product Backlog.

11. 11. Question

What could be a source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product?
 o The CEO of the Organization

o The Product Backlog

o The Key Stakeholders

Incorrect

The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product and
is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product.

12. 12. Question

How long does the Product Backlog exists?

o While at least one Development Team is working on it

o Till the final Product Release

o Not more than 5 years

o While the Product exists

Correct

The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to
be appropriate, competitive, and useful. If a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.

13. 13. Question

If an item in the Sprint Backlog cannot be finished by the end of the Sprint (it turned out there
is a lot more work to do than was estimated), the Sprint is cancelled.

o False

o True
Correct

The Sprint is cancelled only in the case if the Sprint Goal became obsolete. If some work
could not be done, the Sprint Backlog should be re-negotiated between the Product Owner
and Development Team.

14. 14. Question

Which KVA categories should the Product Owner consider to measure and track the creation
and delivery of value to the market place (select three)?

o Employee Satisfaction

o Capability Building

o Risk Reduction
 o Ability to Innovate

o Ability to Innovate

15. 15. Question

Who participates in the Sprint Review? Select all applicable variants.

o The Development Team

o The Organization CEO

o The Scrum Master

o The Key Stakeholders

o The Product Owner

Correct

During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders collaborate about what was
done in the Sprint. Based on that and any changes to the Product Backlog during the Sprint,
attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done to optimize value.

16. 16. Question

How frequently the Product Owner should communicate and re-iterate his product vision to
the Scrum Team and the Key Stakeholders?

o Early and often

o Every Sprint Retrospective

o Once at the first Sprint Planning

o Every Daily Scrum

Correct

The PO should communicate and re-iterate his product vision to the Scrum Team and the
Key Stakeholders early and often, reminding all involved of how that vision aims to maximize
the value of the product and of the work the Scrum Team performs.
17. 17. Question
Select the three best options to finish the sentence below.

Technical debt …

o is a lack of technical supplies

o belongs entirely to the Development Team. No one else should know about it.

o reflects some extra development work

o compromises long-term quality of the Product

o is a real risk which can genuinely be incurred

Incorrect

Technical debt is a concept in programming that reflects the extra development work that
arises when code that is easy to implement in the short run is used instead of applying the
best overall solution. In other words it can be defined as the longer term consequences of
poor design decisions. Technical debt is a real risk which can genuinely be incurred.
It compromises long-term quality of the Product.

One of the ways of handling technical debt is recording it on the Product Backlog. So, it
becomes visible to the Scrum Team.

18. 18. Question

Who is responsible for crafting the Sprint Goal at the Sprint Planning?

o The Scrum Team

o The Product Owner

o The Scrum Master

o The Key Stakeholders

o The Development Team

Correct

After the Development Team forecasts the Product Backlog items it will deliver in the Sprint,
the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal.

19. 19. Question

The Development Team should be able to explain to the Product Owner and Scrum Master
how it intends to work as a self-organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the
anticipated Increment.

o False
 o True
Incorrect

By the end of the Sprint Planning, the Development Team should be able to explain to the
Product Owner and Scrum Master how it intends to work as a self-organizing team to
accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment.

20. 20. Question

What is the essence of Scrum? Select the most appropriate option.

o The Scrum Master and the Product Owner

o The Development Team

o The Scrum Guide

o A small team of people that is highly flexible and adaptive

Correct

The essence of Scrum is a small team of people. The individual team is highly flexible and
adaptive. These strengths continue operating in single, several, many, and networks of
teams that develop, release, operate and sustain the work and work products of thousands
of people. They collaborate and interoperate through sophisticated development
architectures and target release environments.

21. 21. Question

Who is responsible for managing the Product Backlog?

o Scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the Product Owner and
Development Team as more is learned

o Quality goals do not decrease

 o No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal

o The Sprint Goal is changed frequently to reflect the status of the remaining work
Incorrect

During the Sprint:

o No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal;

o Quality goals do not decrease; and,
o Scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the Product Owner and
Development Team as more is learned.

23. 23. Question

Product Backlog Refinement …
Select the three most applicable sentence endings.

o Is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to Product Backlog items

o Answers the question: how will the work needed to deliver the Increment be
achieved

o Is an ongoing process

o Usually happens 2-4 times in dependency of the Sprint length

o Usually takes no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team

o Is time-boxed to a maximum of 4 hours

Incorrect

Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the
Product Backlog. This is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the
Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items. It usually consumes
no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team.

24. 24. Question

What is the order of items in the Product Backlog?

o Less valuable and most unclear items at the bottom

o The recently added items at the top

o The less clear items at the top

o Alphabetical

she can delegate some work related to product backlog management to the Development
Team.

26. 26. Question

Who are the typical Key Stakeholders (select three)?

o The people responsible for paying to use the product

o The people responsible for product marketing

o The human people who actually use the product under development

o The people responsible for product development

o The people responsible for making the funding decisions for the product
development effort
Incorrect

According to the Scrum Glossary, a stakeholder is “a person external to the Scrum Team
with a specific interest in and knowledge of a product that is required for incremental
discovery. Represented by the Product Owner and actively engaged with the Scrum Team at
Sprint Review.”
Typically, they fall into one of three broad categories:
o The Users – The human people who actually use the product under development
o The External Customers – The people responsible for paying to use the product
o The Internal Customers – The people responsible for making the funding
decisions for the product development effort

27. 27. Question

What is the Sprint Backlog?
 o The Product Backlog items selected for this Sprint

o The Product Backlog items selected for this Sprint plus the Team Backlog items

o The plan for delivering Product Backlog items

o The Product Backlog items selected for this Sprint plus the plan for
delivering them

o The Scrum Master and the Development Team

o The Product owner and the Development Team

o The Development Team

o The Product owner and the Scrum Master

 o The Scrum Team

o The Scrum Master

o The Product Owner

Correct

The Development Team is responsible for all estimates in the Product Backlog. The Product
Owner may influence the Development Team by helping it understand and select trade-offs,
but the people who will perform the work make the final estimate.

30. 30. Question

Where Scrum can be used? Check all the applicable items.

o Development of almost everything we use in our daily lives as individuals

and societies

o Research and identifying of viable markets, technologies, and product

capabilities

o Development and sustaining of Cloud and other operational environments

o Managing the operation of an organization

o Development of products and enhancements

o Development of software and hardware

Incorrect

Scrum has been used to develop software, hardware, embedded software, networks of
interacting function, autonomous vehicles, schools, government, marketing, managing the
operation of organizations and almost everything we use in our daily lives, as individuals and
societies.

Scrum has been used extensively, worldwide, to:

o Research and identify viable markets, technologies, and product capabilities;

o Develop products and enhancements;
o Release products and enhancements, as frequently as many times per day;
o Develop and sustain Cloud (online, secure, on-demand) and other operational
environments for product use; and,
o Sustain and renew products.

31. 31. Question

What does Cone of Uncertainty show?

o Dependencies, start times and stop times for project tasks

 o How much is known about the Product over time

o How much work remains till the end of the Sprint

o Hierarchy of tasks that comprise a project

Correct

The Cone of Uncertainty describes the evolution of the amount of uncertainty during a
project.

32. 32. Question

What factors should be considered by the Product Owner in the release decision (select
four)?

o The risk that the product’s value can get out of line with the marketplace

o Can customers actually absorb the new release?

o The costs and benefits of the upgrade

o The customers that will be constrained by the new release

o The amount of work remaining toward the Sprint Goal

o Does the Increment meet the Definition of “Done”?

o Approval of the Key Stakeholders

Incorrect

While Scrum doesn’t require a release to occur every Sprint, it should be noted that the more
elapsed time that accumulates since the last release, the higher the risk that the product’s
value will get out of line with the marketplace. Product Owners should keep this risk in the
forefront of their mind.
Another factor in the release decision is whether your customers can actually absorb your
frequent releases. Most customers approach this upgrade decision using a common sense
method of weighing the costs and benefits of the upgrade(new increment). This is all the
more reason to make sure that your releases are of the utmost value, and offer relatively low
absorption costs. Regardless of the benefits and costs, some customers will still be
constrained, so this constraint should be a consideration when deciding how often or
whether to release.
The PO is the one and only person who can decide whether to release the latest increment
of the product.
The Increment is “Done” by its definition.

33. 33. Question

The Sprint Review is just a demo of the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint. Do
you agree?
 o No, the Sprint Review contains much more activities

o Yes. There is no much difference.

o No, the demo also should include the Items completed in the previous Sprints
that were not demonstrated for some reason
Correct

No. The Sprint Review contains much more activities to inspect the Increment and adapt the
Product Backlog.
For example:

o The Product Owner also explains what has not been “Done”;
o The entire group collaborates on what to do next, so that the Sprint Review
provides valuable input to subsequent Sprint Planning;
o Review of the timeline, budget, potential capabilities, and marketplace for the next
anticipated releases of functionality.

34. 34. Question

The Product Owner should be expertly aware of the marketplace for the product.

o True

o False

o It depends
Correct

The Product Owner should be expertly aware of the marketplace for the product. They
should constantly be gathering and re-gathering information and data regarding the
marketplace, so that the product value is maximized. Getting out of touch with the
marketplace can be a recipe for product disaster.

35. 35. Question

When is the Scrum Team allowed to interact with the Key Stakeholders (select the most
applicable option)?

o The Sprint Review

o Any time where it’s valuable to have the Stakeholder input

o The Daily Scrum

o The Sprint Retrospective

Correct
 The Product Owner is responsible for making sure that the Key Stakeholders attend and
interact in the Sprint Reviews, but really the Stakeholders can be involved with the Scrum
Team any time where it’s valuable to have the Stakeholder input.

36. 36. Question

Every Product Backlog Item should be created by the Product Owner personally and only
then the Development Team can add details to it at the PO’s discretion.

o True

o False
Correct

False. The Product Owner is solely responsible and accountable for the decisions in the
Product Backlog. However, the legwork of managing the Product Backlog might be fully
delegated to the Development Team, so it is quite possible that the Product Owner might not
ever create or write a User Story or Product Backlog Item.

37. 37. Question

What does the word “development” mean in the context of Scrum? Select the best option.

o Research and identifying of viable markets, technologies, and Product

capabilities

o Development of an operational environment for the Product

o Product development, its releasing and sustaining

o Complex work that can include all the suggested options and even more

o Software and hardware development

Correct

When the words “develop” and “development” are used in the Scrum Guide, they refer to
complex work including software and hardware development, development and releasing of
products and enhancements, development and sustaining product operational environments,
research and identifying of viable markets and technologies, and even more.

38. 38. Question

When something about Scrum frustrates the Product Owner, the PO can delegate some
responsibilities to the Scrum Master.

o True

o False
Correct

It is NOT acceptable for the PO to attempt to proxy or outsource their PO Scrum Team
duties.
 The Product Owner will work in concert with the Scrum Master to utilize Scrum correctly and
advantageously, and try to never been seen as subverting or disrespecting the Scrum
framework. When something about Scrum frustrates a Product Owner, she should consult
the Scrum Master for ways to implement the Scrum framework in a way that is effective.

39. 39. Question

It is a good practice to have at least two Product Owners on big projects.

o False

o True
Correct

The Product Owner is one person, not a committee, but the Product Owner may represent
the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog.

40. 40. Question

Once the Product Owner gained his Product Vision and defined the tactics of bringing this
vision to life, it is a bad idea to change them before the next Product Release.

o True

o False
Correct

The PO should never be afraid to change the vision or tactics based on marketplace
changes. Being able to strategically re-pivot and capture value in new and different ways is
one of the key benefits of an Agile mindset.

41. 41. Question

Who participates in the Sprint Planning? Select three.

o The Development Team

o The Scrum Master

o The Key Stakeholders

o The Team Manager

o The Product Owner

Incorrect

The work to be performed in the Sprint is planned at the Sprint Planning. This plan is created
by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team.

42. 42. Question

How does Definition of “Done” help the Scrum Team? Select three most applicable items.
 o DoD helps to calculate velocity of the Scrum Team

o DoD helps in inspection and adaptation

o DoD ensures artifact transparency

o Guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog

items it can select during a Sprint Planning

o DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment

Incorrect

o DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment

o Guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it
can select during a Sprint Planning
o DoD ensures artifact transparency

43. 43. Question

What technique should be used for representing Product Backlog Items?

o User Stories

o Scenarios

o Use Cases

o Acceptance Tests

o Any technique, even a mix of several techniques

Correct

User stories are a fairly common technique for representing Product Backlog Items, but other
techniques can be used instead. For instance, a team can use scenarios, use cases,
acceptance tests, etc. The Product Backlog might even contain a heterogeneous mix of the
above.
The Product Owner should work with the rest of the Scrum Team on choosing and optimizing
the techniques used to represent Product Backlog Items.

44. 44. Question

Product Backlog Refinement practice focuses on Items for upcoming Sprints, not the current
Sprint in progress. True or false?

o True

o False
Correct
 True. Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in
the Product Backlog. The Items in the current Sprint are no longer on the Product Backlog,
because they are now on the Sprint Backlog.
However, it is certainly fine for the Product Owner to add detail and clarification to the current
Sprint’s work as well.

45. 45. Question

Who is responsible for monitoring progress toward high-level goals?

o The Product Owner

o The Product Owner and The Development Team

o The Scrum Team

o The Scrum Master

o The Scrum Master and The Development Team

o The Development Team

Correct

The Product Owner tracks total work remaining at least every Sprint Review. The Product
Owner compares this amount with work remaining at previous Sprint Reviews to assess
progress toward completing projected work by the desired time for the goal. This information
is made transparent to all stakeholders.

46. 46. Question

If multiple Stakeholders have varied interests in the product and different viewpoints what is
the best strategy for the Product Owner?

o Do an intelligent balancing of interests and try to maximize the value of

the Product as a whole

o Listen to the people that fund the product’s development because they always
have the last word

o Stick to the viewpoint promising the fastest time-to-market

o Calculate ROI (Return Of Investments) for every viewpoint and select the
maximal one
Correct

Inherent in the role of facilitating key stakeholder involvement is weighing and balancing the
(likely) differing viewpoints of multiple stakeholders who might have varied interests in the
product. The Product Owner’s responsibility is to maximize the value of the product as a
whole, and this will involve an intelligent balancing of interests.

47. 47. Question

 Who is responsible for creation of the Definition of “Done”?

o The Development Team

o The Scrum Team

o The Product Owner

o The Scrum Master

Incorrect

If the definition of “done” for an increment is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines
of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If “done” for
an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of
the Scrum Team must define a definition of “done” appropriate for the product. If there are
multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the development teams on
all of the Scrum Teams must mutually define the definition of “Done.”

48. 48. Question

What part of the capacity of the Development Team does Product Backlog refinement
usually consume?

o The Development Team is not authorized for Product Backlog refinement

o Not more than 10%

o Not more than 20%

o Not more than 5%

Correct

Product Backlog refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the
Development Team.

49. 49. Question

The Scrum Master should not allow the Product Owner to attend the Sprint Planning if the
PO is not ready with a Sprint Goal. Is this true or false?

o True

o False
Correct

False. The Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal during the Sprint Planning.

50. 50. Question

How frequently product releases should occur?
 o Every Sprint

o By the end of Product development

o At least every 6 months

o Frequently enough to eliminate the risk that the product’s value will get
out of line with the marketplace

o Every 3 months
Correct

While Scrum doesn’t require a release to occur every Sprint, it should be noted that the more
elapsed time that accumulates since the last release, the higher the risk that the product’s
value will get out of line with the marketplace. Product Owners should keep this risk in the
forefront of their mind. Looking at it another way, the sooner you release, the sooner you can
start capturing the value created by the product.

51. 51. Question

The Product Owner wants to apply some non-functional requirements to the Product. What is
the best way to proceed?

o Create a new Item for every requirement in the Product Backlog

o Find a way to convert non-functional requirements into Product features

and act accordingly

o Non-functional requirements cannot be handled within the bounds of Scrum

o Add the non-functional requirements to the DoD and check every

Increment against these criteria
Incorrect

Non-functional requirements describe qualities of the Product being developed. For example,
the Product should be secure and extensible. The only way to meet such requirements is to
have them as a part of the DoD and check every Increment against these criteria.

52. 52. Question

Who is allowed to participate in the Daily Scrum?

o The Key Stakeholders

o The Product Owner

o The Scrum Master

o The Development Team

 Incorrect

The Daily Scrum is an internal meeting for the Development Team. If others are present, the
Scrum Master ensures that they do not disrupt the meeting.

53. 53. Question

Select the two focus areas that are not considered in executing Value Driven Development
by the Product Owner.

o Product Value Maximizer

o Product Visionary

o Product Release Decision Maker

o Lead Facilitator of Key Stakeholder Involvement

o Remover of impediments to the Development Team’s progress

o Product Marketplace Expert

o Coach of the Development Team in self-organization and cross-

functionality
Correct

In executing Value Driven Development, the Product Owner must consider the focus areas
of:

o Product Value Maximizer

o Product Visionary
o Product Marketplace Expert
o Product Release Decision Maker
o Lead Facilitator of Key Stakeholder Involvement
o Other Product Owner role Considerations

54. 54. Question

How long should the Sprint Planning be?

o Not more than 8 hours

o Not more than 4 hours

o Until all the Items in the Sprint Backlog are decomposed to units of one day or
less

o Not more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team

Correct
 Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month Sprint.
There is no need to decompose all the Items in the Sprint Backlog. It can be done only for
the first days of the Sprint.

55. 55. Question

What is the Increment?

o All "Done" items in the Sprint Backlog

o All items in the Sprint Backlog that could be released regardless of

whether the Product Owner decides to actually do it

o The sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during the Sprint and
the value of the increments of all previous Sprints

o The sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during the Sprint
Incorrect

The Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during
the Sprint and the value of the increments of all previous Sprints.

56. 56. Question

What are the three most applicable characteristics of the Product Owner?

o Product Marketplace Expert

o Facilitator of Scrum events

o Lead Facilitator of Key Stakeholder Involvement

o Product Value Maximizer

o Lead Scrum evangelist in the Organization

Correct

o The Scrum Master and the Product Owner

o The Scrum Team

o The Product Owner

 o The Scrum Master

o The Development Team

Correct

The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the
Scrum Guide. Scrum Masters do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory,
practices, rules, and values.

58. 58. Question

A Development Team is waiting for a specific software component that they need to integrate
and use.
The component should be ready in a month.
The Backlog Items with highest priorities depend on this specific component.

What should the Product Owner do?

o Nothing. The Product Backlog already has the most valuable items at the top.
The Development Team cannot proceed further until the dependency is resolved.

o Transfer the dependent Items to the Integration Team

o Remove the dependent Items from the Product Backlog and put them in a
special wait list. When the dependency is resolved, the Items should be returned
back.

o Make sure the dependency is visible in the Product Backlog and the
Development Team has enough independent Items for the next Sprint.
Correct

The Product Backlog should make the dependency visible to all the interested parties.
Usually Items with external dependencies are not considered “Ready” for selection at the
Sprint Planning.
Development Teams should deliver an Increment of product functionality every Sprint.

59. 59. Question

What are the characteristics of a Product Backlog Item that is “Ready” for selection in a
Sprint Planning? Select three.

o Can be "Done" within one Sprint

o Somewhere at the top of the Product Backlog

o Can be implemented within one Sprint and tested in the next Sprint

o Somewhere at the bottom of the Product Backlog

o Well refined
 o Has less detail
Correct

Higher ordered Product Backlog items are usually clearer and more detailed than lower

Development Team for the upcoming Sprint are refined so that any one item can reasonably
be “Done” within the Sprint time-box. Product Backlog items that can be “Done” by the
Development Team within one Sprint are deemed “Ready” for selection in a Sprint Planning.
