possible. They may even be added to the Sprint Backlog for the
next Sprint.
Assign responsible team members for every improvement. Check
the progress at the next Retrospective.
They should not talk about improvements because it could harm
the company.
Overall explanation
During Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Team identifies the most
helpful changes to improve its effectiveness. The most impactful
improvements are addressed as soon as possible. They may even be
added to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint.

Question 8Correct

management includes:(choose the best three answers)
Your selection is correct
Ordering Product Backlog items
Your selection is correct
Ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible, and
understood
Presenting Product Backlog items to the Key Stakeholders
Moving Product Backlog items into the Sprint Backlog
Your selection is correct
Developing and explicitly communicating the Product Goal
Overall explanation

4
Product Backlog management includes:
- Developing and explicitly communicating the Product Goal;
- Creating and clearly communicating Product Backlog items;
- Ordering Product Backlog items; and,
- Ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible, and
understood.
Question 9Correct
Select which are not part of the pillars that uphold Scrum?
(choose all that apply)
Adaptation
Your selection is correct
Agility
Your selection is correct
Cross-functionality
Inspection
Transparency
Your selection is correct
Teamwork
Your selection is correct
Self-organization
Overall explanation
Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism
asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions
based on what is observed. Lean thinking reduces waste and focuses
on the essentials.
Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize
predictability and to control risk. Scrum engages groups of people
who collectively have all the skills and expertise to do the work and
share or acquire such skills as needed.
Scrum combines four formal events for inspection and adaptation
within a containing event, the Sprint. These events work because
they implement the empirical Scrum pillars of transparency,
inspection, and adaptation.
Question 10Correct

5
True or False: The Product Owner and the Scrum Master cannot be a
part of Developers
True
Your answer is correct
False
Overall explanation
Scrum does not prohibit the Product Owner or the Scrum Master do
development work. However, it is not the best practice because it
could create a conflict of interest.

Question 11Correct
Ordinarily, items on the Sprint Backlog tend to be...(choose the best
answer)
Larger than those on the Product Backlog
Your answer is correct
Smaller than those on the Product Backlog
The same size as those on the Product Backlog
Overall explanation
A Sprint Backlog will often be expressed as tasks for implementing a
collection of PBIs that meet an agreed Sprint Goal. There will usually
be multiple tasks associated with realizing a single PBI; therefore,
these tasks tend to be regarded as being "smaller."

Question 12Incorrect
The Scrum framework consists of what?
(choose all that apply)
Your selection is correct
Accountabilities
Correct selection
Rules
Your selection is correct
Artifacts
Your selection is correct

6
Events
Overall explanation
The Scrum framework contains Accountabilities (i.e., Scrum Master,
Product Owner, Developers), Artifacts (i.e., Product Backlog, Sprint
Backlog, Increment), Events (i.e., Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum,
Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective), and rules.

Here go a few of Scrum rules:

- Having timeboxed events is a rule.
- Having a single Product Owner is another rule.
- Self-managed Scrum Team.
- Sprints timeboxed to at most one month.
- Scrum Team containing one Product Owner, one Scrum Master, and
Developers.
- The Increment is only Done when in conformance with the
Definition of Done.
- and many others discussed in this course.

Question 13Incorrect

Helping find techniques for effective Sprint Goal definition
Your selection is correct
Facilitating stakeholder collaboration as requested or needed
Your selection is incorrect
Leading and coaching the organization in its Scrum adoption.
Correct selection
Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise
Product Backlog items
Overall explanation

7
The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways,
including:
- Helping find techniques for effective Product Goal definition and
Product Backlog management;
- Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise
Product Backlog items;
- Helping establish empirical product planning for a complex
environment; and,
- Facilitating stakeholder collaboration as requested or needed.
Question 14Correct
True or False: All Scrum Teams working on the same Product must
use a single Product Backlog.
Your answer is correct
True
False
Overall explanation
If Scrum Teams become too large, they should consider reorganizing
into multiple cohesive Scrum Teams, each focused on the same
product. Therefore, they should share the same Product Goal,
Product Backlog, and Product Owner.
Question 15Incorrect
Who is allowed to update the Product Backlog?

(choose the best two answers)

The Scrum Master.
Correct selection
The Developers, but the Product Owner remains accountable.
The Product Discovery team.
The key stakeholders.
Your selection is correct
The Product Owner.
The Developers.
Overall explanation

8
The Product Owner may perform activities related to Product
Backlog management or may delegate the responsibility to others.
Regardless, the Product Owner remains accountable.
Question 16Incorrect
What does the Cone of Uncertainty show?

(choose the best answer)

A graphical representation of the Sprint's work left to do versus
time.
Correct answer
How much is known about the Product over time.
A visual view of tasks scheduled over time.
Your answer is incorrect
Defines all the things a project needs to accomplish, organized into
multiple levels, and displayed graphically.
Overall explanation
The “Cone of Uncertainty” describes the reduction of the uncertainty
about scope after each iteration. At the uncertainty is eliminated and
the exact amount of scope is known. (with a cone graph)
Question 17Correct
Which of the following are valid ways of dealing with regulatory
compliance issues in Scrum?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is correct
They are treated as regular Product Backlog items and addressed in
early Sprints. However, independent of the situation, every Sprint
must have at least some business functionality, no matter how
small.
They are handled by a Compliance team
They are dealt with specialized Sprints before developing business
functionality
Your selection is correct
Throughout the product development

9
Overall explanation
During a Sprint, the Scrum Team turns a selection of the work into an
Increment of value. In other words, for each Sprint, the Scrum Teams
must deliver business functionality. Further, Scrum Teams are cross-
functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to
create value for each Sprint.
Question 18Correct
True or False: The Scrum Master does not help those outside the
Scrum Team understand which of their interactions with the Scrum
Team are helpful and which aren’t.
Your answer is correct
False
True
Overall explanation
Scrum Masters are true leaders who serve the Scrum Team and the
larger organization. The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum
Team understand which of their interactions with the Scrum Team
are helpful and which aren’t. The Scrum Master helps everyone
change these interactions to maximize the value created by the
Scrum Team.
Question 19Correct
Which of the following is Scrum founded upon?

(choose the best two answers)

Rapid Application Development
PDCA
Your selection is correct
Lean Thinking
Extreme Management
Your selection is correct
Empiricism
Overall explanation
Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking.
Question 20Correct

10
Which of the following are applicable characteristics of the Product
Owner?

(choose the best four answers)

Your selection is correct
Product Visionary
Your selection is correct
Product Marketplace Expert
Your selection is correct
Lead Facilitator of Key Stakeholder Involvement
Facilitator of Scrum events
Your selection is correct
Product Value Maximizer
Overall explanation
About "Lead Facilitator of Key Stakeholder Involvement," this is a
tricky one because of the changes in the latest version of the Scrum
Guide where "stakeholder management" officially moved from the
Product Owner's accountability to the Scrum Team's. In this
question, it is a correct answer because I asked for the "best four
answers." And, in practice, the Product Owner needs to stay in
constant communication with them to help him direct the product.
However, in general, it is better to say that there is no "lead
facilitator of key stakeholder involvement," since this accountability
is shared by the whole Scrum Team. If I had asked for the "three best
answers," you shouldn't select this one.
Question 21Correct
True or False: During Sprint Retrospective the definition of Done can
not be reviewed and adapted.
Your answer is correct
False
True
Overall explanation
The Scrum Team inspects how the last Sprint went with regards to
individuals, interactions, processes, tools, and their Definition of
Done.
11
Question 22Incorrect
Your Scrum Team’s impediment list is growing. Which techniques
would be most helpful in this situation?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is incorrect
The Scrum Master removes the impediments as soon as possible
The Product Owner adds the impediments to the Product Backlog
Correct selection
The Scrum Team prioritizes the list and works on them in order
Your selection is correct
The Scrum Master discusses the impediments with the Scrum Team
Overall explanation
The Scrum Team is self-managed and must figure out how to remove
the impediments. However, the Scrum Master is accountable for
causing the removal of impediments, which might include discussing
them with the Scrum Team when needed.
Question 23Incorrect
How does the Definition of Done (DoD) help the Scrum Team?

(choose the best three answers)

Your selection is correct
DoD ensures artifact transparency
Your selection is correct
DoD is used to assess when work is complete.
Correct selection
DoD guides the Developers in knowing how many Product Backlog
items it can select during Sprint Planning.
Your selection is incorrect
DoD helps to calculate the velocity of the Scrum Team
Overall explanation
The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the
Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the
product. The Definition of Done creates transparency by providing

12
everyone a shared understanding of what work was completed as
part of the Increment.
Question 24Correct
Which statement is correct about the Sprint Backlog?

(choose the best answer)

It has all the details.
It has no detail.
Your answer is correct
It has just enough detail.
Overall explanation
Both Sprint Backlog and Product Backlog evolve during their lives,
and the amount of information grows as time passes. So, at each
point in time, they don't have as much detail as they will probably
have in the future. On the other hand, we never add all the details
there.
Question 25Correct
Which of the following is false about the Product Goal.

(choose the best answer)

The Product Goal is the long-term objective of the Scrum Team.
The Product Goal is in the Product Backlog.
The Product Owner is also accountable for developing and explicitly
communicating the Product Goal.
When reaching the Product Goal, the Scrum Team chooses to
release or not the Increment.
The Scrum Team must fulfill (or abandon) one Product Goal before
taking on the next.
Your answer is correct
For the Product Goal to be fulfilled, the entire Product Backlog
must be Done.
Overall explanation
The Product Goal describes a future state of the product which can
serve as a target for the Scrum Team to plan against. The Product

13
Goal is in the Product Backlog. The rest of the Product Backlog
emerges to define “what” will fulfill the Product Goal.

The Product Goal is the long-term objective for the Scrum Team.
They must fulfill (or abandon) one objective before taking on the
next.
Question 26Correct
True or False: The Scrum Team can only pursue one Product Goal at
a time.
Your selection is correct
True
False
Overall explanation
The Product Goal is the long-term objective of the Scrum Team. They
must fulfill (or abandon) one objective before taking on the next.
Question 27Correct
Who is accountable for establishing Scrum?

(choose the best answer)

Your answer is correct
The Scrum Master
The Scrum Master and the Product Owner
The Scrum Team
The Product Owner
The Developers
Overall explanation
The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in
the Scrum Guide. They do this by helping everyone understand
Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the
organization.
Question 28Incorrect
True or False: Scrum recommends having a “hardening” Sprint to
remove all technical debt and prepare the Product for the upcoming
release.

14
Your answer is incorrect
True
Correct answer
False
Overall explanation
It is not recommended. The Scrum Team delivers Done, usable
Increment Sprint.
Question 29Incorrect
How regularly should Scrum users examine Scrum artifacts and
progress approaching a Sprint Goal?

(choose the best answer)

Your answer is incorrect
At the Sprint Review
As frequently as possible
After the Daily Scrum
Correct answer
Frequently, but it should not get in the way of the work
Overall explanation
The Scrum artifacts and the progress toward agreed goals must be
inspected frequently and diligently to detect potentially undesirable
variances or problems. Their inspection should not be so frequent
that inspection gets in the way of the work. Inspections are most
beneficial when diligently performed by skilled inspectors at the
point of work.
Question 30Correct
Select the five Scrum Values.

(choose all that apply)

Rapid development
Agility
Your selection is correct
Respect
Your selection is correct

15
Openness
Lean
Your selection is correct
Commitment
Your selection is correct
Courage
Your selection is correct
Focus
Overall explanation
When the values of commitment, courage, focus, openness and
respect are embodied and lived by the Scrum Team, the Scrum pillars
of transparency, inspection, and adaptation come to life and build
trust for everyone.
Question 31Incorrect
At some point during the product development cycle, a key
stakeholder started using the product and was unhappy with its
quality. Thus, he made his concern very clear to the Product Owner.
According to the key stakeholder, the product’s performance was
below what he expected. Thus, the Product Owner went to talk to
you, the Scrum Master, about this issue. What should you tell her?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is incorrect
Tell the Product Owner that she should bring this up only on the
Sprint Retrospective
Tell the Product Owner that she should talk to the testers, because,
such an issue should not leak to the users and they must improve
their quality control procedures
Correct selection
Coach the Product Owner on how to address the Developers about
this issue
Your selection is correct
Encourage the Product Owner to add Product Backlog items
focusing on the given quality concerts and express the stakeholder
´s concern to the Developers
16
Tell the Product Owner that, in Scrum, the technical expertise is
expected from the Developers and they are the ones responsible
for defining acceptable quality standards, not the stakeholder
Overall explanation
a. A Scrum Team is expected to adapt the moment it learns anything
new through inspection. B. The Developers must be aware of the
feedback and it might be necessary for the Scrum Master to coach
the Product Owner on how to talk to them to avoid causing negative
effects. C. There is no “testers” role in Scrum. D. Quality aspects can
be treated as Product Backlog items or as part of the Definition of
Done. E. No member of the Scrum Team is assumed to know
everything required for solving a complex problem. For this reason,
Scrum's nature is to inspect and adapt.
Question 32Correct
Who is responsible for creating the Definition of Done?

(choose the best answer)

Your answer is correct
The Scrum Team
The Product Owner
The Scrum Master
The Developers
Overall explanation
If the Definition of Done for an increment is part of the standards of
the organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If it is
not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a
Definition of Done appropriate for the product.
The Developers are required to conform to the Definition of Done. If
there are multiple Scrum Teams working together on a product, they
must mutually define and comply with the same Definition of Done.
Question 33Correct
Which of the following are characteristics of the Product Backlog?

(choose all that apply)

17
A Product Backlog could be closed when it contains no items to
include in the next Sprint.
Your selection is correct
It is emergent.
Your selection is correct
It is continuously refined.
Your selection is correct
As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.
Overall explanation
A Product Backlog is emergent. The earliest development of it only
lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements.
Further, it is refined as the product and the environment in which it
will be used evolves. Finally, it is refined to identify what the product
needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. As long as a
product exists, its Product Backlog also exists since it is the single
source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team.
Question 34Incorrect
What happens when a Sprint is canceled?

(choose the best three answers)

Your selection is incorrect
Several top Product Backlog Items are taken into the Sprint Backlog
to replace the obsolete items
Your selection is correct
Any completed and “Done” Product Backlog items are reviewed
Your selection is correct
All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put
back on the Product Backlog
At the Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Master determines who
from the Developers is responsible for canceling the Sprint
Correct selection
If part of the work is potentially releasable, the Product Owner
typically accepts it
Overall explanation

18
The Scrum Guide is not explicit anymore about what happens.
However, these are the best options following Scrum's mindset.
Independent of the case, if a Product Backlog item does not meet the
Definition of Done, it cannot be released or even presented at the
Sprint Review. Instead, it returns to the Product Backlog for future
consideration.
Question 35Incorrect
During Sprint Planning, the Developers must plan the work for all
days of the Sprint. It is decomposed by the end of this meeting, often
to units of one day or less.

(choose the best answer)

Your answer is incorrect
Yes, Sprint Backlog is decomposed down into user stories, and the
delivery time and effort are estimated considering the Sprint
duration
Yes, all items in the Sprint Backlog should be decomposed to units
of one day or less by the end of the Sprint Planning
Correct answer
No, this is not a rule and it is up to the Developers to plan the work
necessary to create an Increment that meets the Definition of
Done.
No, because who estimates the work to be done at Sprint is the
Scrum Master
Overall explanation
For each selected Product Backlog item, the Developers plan the
work necessary to create an Increment that meets the Definition of
Done. This is often done by decomposing Product Backlog items into
smaller work items of one day or less. How this is done is at the sole
discretion of the Developers. No one else tells them how to turn
Product Backlog items into Increments of value.

Further, the Sprint Backlog is updated throughout the Sprint as more

is learned. It should have enough detail that they can inspect their

19
progress in the Daily Scrum.. Thus, it is not recommended to attempt
to plan the work for all days of the Sprint during Sprint Planning.
Question 36Correct
Which of the following are correct regarding the Product Goal?

(choose the best four answers)

The Product Goal must consist of a vision statement, the main
features, a deadline, and target measures.
Your selection is correct
The Scrum Team must only pursue one Product Goal at a time.
In the case of existing multiple Product Goals, they must be
organized into a Product Roadmap.
Your selection is correct
If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product,
they should share the same Product Goal.
Your selection is correct
An Increment is a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal.
Once a product reaches the Product Goal, it must be released.
Your selection is correct
During the Sprint Review, progress toward the Product Goal is
discussed.
Overall explanation
The Scrum Guide does not prescribe the use of a Product Roadmap,
the components of the Product Goal, neither when to release the
product.
Question 37Correct
What's the timeboxed duration of Sprint Review events?

(choose the best answer)

3 hours
Your answer is correct
Maximum 4 hours in a one-month Sprint, and usually shorter for
shorter Sprints.
3 hours in a one-month Sprint

20
Maximum 3 hours
Overall explanation
The timeboxed duration of events is as follows:
Sprint - Maximum 1 month
Daily Scrum - 15 minutes
Sprint Planning - 8 hours in a one-month Sprint, and normally shorter
proportionally for shorter Sprints
Sprint Review - 4 hours in a one-month Sprint, and normally shorter
proportionally for shorter Sprints
Sprint Retrospective - 3 hours in a one-month Sprint, and normally
shorter proportionally for shorter Sprints

Note 1: if you have a shorter Sprint, it's not mandatory to shorten

the timeboxed durations proportionally, but it's the normal thing to
do. Otherwise, for example, in a project with one-week Sprints (i.e., 5
working days), you will spend 2 days, equal to 40% of the time, on
meetings instead of creating the product.
Note 2: Yes, being shorter "proportionally" is not mentioned in the
Scrum Guide, but not everything you will see in the exam comes
from the Scrum Guide.
Question 38Correct
How does the Scrum Master serve the Organization?

(choose the best answer)

Forming Scrum Teams.
Updating the Burndown charts.
Your answer is correct
Helping employees and stakeholders understand and enact an
empirical approach for complex work.
Inviting key stakeholders are invited to all Scrum Reviews within
the organization.
Overall explanation
The Scrum Master serves the organization in several ways, including:

21
- Leading, training, and coaching the organization in its Scrum
adoption;
- Planning and advising Scrum implementations within the
organization;
- Helping employees and stakeholders understand and enact an
empirical approach for complex work; and,
- Removing barriers between stakeholders and Scrum Teams.
Question 39Correct
True or False: According to the Scrum framework, the Scrum
components and rules for the project are chosen depending on the
project's specific characteristics.
True
Your answer is correct
False
Overall explanation
While implementing only parts of Scrum is possible, the result is not
Scrum. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as a
container for other techniques, methodologies, and practices.
Question 40Correct
What are the Scrum Artifacts?

(choose all that apply)

Your selection is correct
Sprint Backlog.
Definition of Done.
Your selection is correct
Product Backlog.
The Sprint Goal.
Your selection is correct
Increment
Overall explanation
Scrum artifacts are the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and
Increment. The remaining options are commitments associated with
the artifacts.

22
Question 41Correct
During a Sprint, the CEO asks the Developers to add an urgent item
to the Sprint Backlog. What should the Developers do?

(choose the best answer)

The Scrum Master must not allow the CEO to talk to the Developers
Add the item to the current Sprint and remove an item from the
Sprint Backlog of equal size
Your answer is correct
Inform the Product Owner so that the matter can be worked with
the CEO
Add the item to the Product Backlog
Add the item to the current Sprint without any adjustments
Overall explanation
The Product Backlog is the single source of work undertaken by the
Scrum Team. Thus, a request from the CEO can not be fulfilled by the
Scrum Team, if it is not a Product Backlog item. Those wanting to
change the Product Backlog, including the CEO, can do so by trying to
convince the Product Owner. Notice that, during the Sprint, the
scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Product Owner as
more is learned. Thus, there are several possible scenarios here:
- The request might be rejected and not added to the Product
Backlog
- The request might be accepted and added to the Product Backlog
by the Product Owner, and considered in future Sprint Planning
events by the Scrum Team
- If the request is important and in line with the current Sprint Goal,
the request might be accepted and added to the Product Backlog by
the Product Owner and transferred to the current Sprint through
discussion between the Product Owner and the Developers.
- If the request is urgent and makes the Sprint Goal obsolete, the
Product Owner might cancel the Sprint.
Question 42Correct

23
You are a Scrum Master and about to begin working with five new
Scrum Teams; all working on the same product. Which of the
following should you strive for?

(choose the best two answers)

There should be five Product Backlogs, one for each Scrum Team
Your selection is correct
There should be only a single Product Backlog
There should be five Product Owners, one for each Scrum Team
There should be five Project Backlogs, inheriting from a single
Product Backlog
Your selection is correct
There should be only a single Product Owner
There should be five Product Owners, reporting to a Chief Product
Owner
Overall explanation
The group of five Scrum Teams working together to deliver a single
product is called a Nexus. A Nexus has a single Product Owner who
manages a single Product Backlog from which the Scrum Teams
work.
Question 43Correct
At some point, several of the Developers from a Scrum Team come
to you, the Scrum Master, complaining that the work identified for
the upcoming Sprint will require a full-time commitment from a
specialist who is external to the teams. What should you consider in
this situation?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is correct
The benefits of having the Developers figure out a solution for
themselves
The need for the Developers to keep a sustainable pace
Your selection is correct
The ability of the Scrum Teams to produce Increments

24
The need for the team to keep delivering value fast
Overall explanation
Scrum Teams are self-managed and cross-functional. Thus, the
Scrum Master should coach the team to be autonomous whenever
possible. However, it is also important for the Scrum Master to
consider the cases in which specialists are really needed and that
problem at hand is too complex for the Developers to figure out on
their own. In these cases, the Scrum Master can work with the
Developers with the possibility of having specialized training or even
having the specialist join the Scrum Team for the period in which
his/her expertise is needed. Whatever the case, keep in mind that
the Scrum Master has to respect the Scrum Team's self-
management, but fulfill his/her accountability for the Scrum Team’s
effectiveness.
Question 44Correct
True or False: The Definition of Done is created during the first Sprint
and remains unchanged until the end of the project.
Your answer is correct
False
True
Overall explanation
During the Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Team inspects how the
last Sprint went with regards to individuals, interactions, processes,
tools, and their Definition of Done. Thus, the Definition of Done can
be adapted.
Question 45Correct
Who attends the Sprint Review?

Overall explanation
During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders review
what was accomplished in the Sprint and what has changed in their
environment.
Question 46Correct
True or False: Only people of the Scrum Team can participate in the
Sprint Planning.

Your answer is correct

False
True
Overall explanation
The Scrum Team may also invite other people to attend Sprint
Planning to provide advice.
Question 47Correct
Which of the following are topics to be discussed during Sprint
Retrospective?

(choose the best two answers)

The Products Backlog order
Refine the Product Backlog
Your selection is correct
Identify the most helpful changes to improve its effectiveness
Your selection is correct
The team’s collaboration
Overall explanation
The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase
quality and effectiveness. The Scrum Team identifies the most
helpful changes to improve its effectiveness. The most impactful
improvements are addressed as soon as possible. They may even be
added to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint.

Question 49Correct
What are the characteristics of a Scrum Team?

(choose the best three answers)

Your selection is correct
Scrum recognizes no sub-teams or hierarchies, within a Scrum
Team
Having at least one test engineer as a Developer
Your selection is correct
Cross-functional
Your selection is correct
Accountability belongs to the Scrum Team as a whole
Everybody must be full-time
27
Overall explanation
The fundamental unit of Scrum is a small team of people, a Scrum
Team. The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product
Owner, and Developers. Within a Scrum Team, there are no sub-
teams or hierarchies. It is a cohesive unit of professionals focused on
one objective at a time, the Product Goal.
Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all
the skills necessary to create value for each Sprint. They are also self-
managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when,
and how.
The Scrum Team is responsible for all product-related activities from
stakeholder collaboration, verification, maintenance, operation,
experimentation, research and development, and anything else that
might be required. They are structured and empowered by the
organization to manage their own work. Working in Sprints at a
sustainable pace improves the Scrum Team’s focus and consistency.
The entire Scrum Team is accountable for creating a valuable, useful
Increment every Sprint. Scrum defines three specific accountabilities
within the Scrum Team: the Developers, the Product Owner, and the
Scrum Master.
Question 50Incorrect
The Increment is:

(choose the best answer)

All items in the Sprint Backlog that could be released regardless of
whether the Product Owner decides to actually do it
Correct answer
Additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring
that all Increments work together.
The sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during the
Sprint
Your answer is incorrect
All "Done" items in the Sprint Backlog

28
The sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during the
Sprint, excluding the value of the increments of all previous Sprints
Overall explanation
Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly
verified, ensuring that all Increments work together.
Question 51Incorrect
What is a possible result of the Sprint Review?

(choose the best answer)

A common understanding of what can be delivered in the
Increment and how will the work needed to deliver the Increment
be achieved
A list of improvements that the Scrum Team will implement in the
next Sprint
Correct answer
A revised Product Backlog that defines the probable Product
Backlog items for the next Sprint
Your answer is incorrect
A common understanding of progress toward the Sprint Goal and
how progress is trending toward completing the work in the Sprint
Backlog
Overall explanation
During the event, the Scrum Team and stakeholders review what was
accomplished in the Sprint and what has changed in their
environment. Based on this information, attendees collaborate on
what to do next. The Product Backlog may also be adjusted to meet
new opportunities.
Question 52Correct
Who is responsible for defining the Sprint Goal during Sprint
Planning?

(choose the best answer)

Your answer is correct
The Scrum Team

29
The Development Team
The Scrum Master
The Key Stakeholders
The Product Owner
Overall explanation
The whole Scrum Team then collaborates to define a Sprint Goal that
communicates why the Sprint is valuable to stakeholders.
Question 53Correct
Who has the authority to cancel the Sprint?

(choose the best answer)

The Developers
Your answer is correct
The Product Owner
The Key Stakeholders
The Product Owner and the Scrum Master
The Scrum Master
Overall explanation
Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel the Sprint,
although he or she may do so under influence from the stakeholders,
the Developers, or the Scrum Master.
Question 54Correct
You are the Scrum Master of a Scrum Team that does not have the
tools and environment to completely finish each of the selected
Product Backlog items. Which of the following are appropriate for
you to do?

(choose the best two answers)

Cancel the Sprint
Declare that the Scrum Team is not mature enough to adopt Scrum
Your selection is correct
Coach the Scrum Team on defining a Definition of Done that is
achievable given current circumstances
Your selection is correct

30
Facilitate the process of having the Scrum Team improve its skills,
tools, and environment over time and adjust the Definition of Done
as needed
Tell them that, in this case, it is acceptable to have the partially
Done Increment accepted during Sprint Reviews
Overall explanation
The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the
Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the
product. However, as with any goal, it must be attainable. Thus, to
keep the team motivated, but aware that the Definition of Done
must be met, the best solution is to work with the Definition of
Done. Notice that, in this case, the Scrum Team must recognize that,
whenever the Definition of Done becomes more stringent in the
future, technical debt will need to be paid off.
Question 55Correct
Refinement usually consumes how much of part of the capacity of
the Scrum Team?

(choose the best answer)

Your answer is correct
It is up to the Scrum Team.
Not more than 5%
Not more than 10%
Not more than 20%
Overall explanation
During the Sprint, the Product Backlog is refined as needed;
Question 56Incorrect
Which of the following is true about Artifact's commitments?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer
They are mandatory.
They are optional
Your answer is incorrect

31
The Increment commits to the Definition of Ready
The Product Backlog commits to the Product Vision
Overall explanation
Each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides
information that enhances transparency and focus against which
progress can be measured:
- For the Product Backlog it is the Product Goal.
- For the Sprint Backlog it is the Sprint Goal.
- For the Increment it is the Definition of Done.
These commitments exist to reinforce empiricism and the Scrum
values for the Scrum Team and their stakeholders.
Question 57Incorrect
Which of the following ways of forming Scrum Teams meet Scrum´s
values?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is correct
Bring all the candidate members together and let them organize
into Scrum Teams
Correct selection
Existing teams propose the new Scrum Teams
Your selection is incorrect
The Scrum Masters form the teams
Management collaborates to form the teams
Overall explanation
The people from the Scrum Teams should be respected as capable of
self-organizing. Management’s job is to give them the support and
environment necessary for being efficient. This is the bottom-up
intelligence mindset expected for Scrum to succeed.
Question 58Correct

primary ways that you can help it to become more productive?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is correct
By causing the removal of impediments to the Scrum Team’s
progress
By updating the issue tracker
By scheduling rooms for the Scrum Events
Your selection is correct
By facilitating Scrum decisions
Overall explanation
a. The Scrum Master is not a secretary. B. The Scrum Master is not a
secretary. C. The Scrum Master, respecting the Scrum Team’s self-
management characteristic, removes impediments that the Scrum
Team members can’t deal with when they ask for help or coaches
them on how to remove the impediments.
Question 60Incorrect
What is the fundamental unit of Scrum?

(choose the best answer)

Your answer is incorrect
The Scrum Master.

33
The Developers.
Correct answer
A small team of people.
The Learning process.
The Scrum Guide's rules.
Overall explanation
The fundamental unit of Scrum is a small team of people, a Scrum
Team.
Question 61Correct
Which of the following is NOT correct about the Developers?

(choose the best answer)

c. As a whole, are cross-functional
Your answer is correct
d. Explain the Product Backlog items
b. Decide the number of items for the upcoming Sprint
a. Write the test cases
Overall explanation
a. Writing test cases is a technical task, therefore, the Developers do
it. (correct)

b. It's up to the Developers to see how many items they can develop
during the Sprint, and no one can force them to pick more (or fewer)
items. (correct)

c. The Scrum Team is cross-functional, thus, the Developers are

cross-functional. (correct

d. Explaining the Product Backlog items is the Product Owner's

responsibility (incorrect)
Question 62Correct
What two things should happen with undone Product Backlog items
at the end of the Sprint?

34
(choose the best two answers)
Your selection is correct
They should be placed on the Product Backlog
Your selection is correct
They must not be included as part of the Increment
The items should be demonstrated during the Sprint Review, the
Sprint’s velocity should consider the part of the items that were
Done during the Sprint, and the remaining work should be
considered as a new Product Backlog item
If the Product Owner is satisfied with the work, he can accept them
and release them
Overall explanation
The Definition of Done creates transparency by providing everyone a
shared understanding of what work was completed as part of the
Increment. If a Product Backlog item does not meet the Definition of
Done, it cannot be released or even presented at the Sprint Review.
Instead, it returns to the Product Backlog for future consideration.
Question 63Incorrect
What should be the length of a Sprint?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is correct
At most, one month
Whatever works best for management
At least, one week
Correct selection
Short enough to keep the business risks acceptable
Overall explanation
The Sprints are fixed length events of one month or less to create
consistency. When a Sprint’s horizon is too long the Sprint Goal may
become invalid, complexity may rise, and risk may increase. Shorter
Sprints can be employed to generate more learning cycles and limit
the risk of cost and effort to a smaller time frame.
Question 64Correct

35
True or False: The Product Owner is the main person responsible for
engaging the stakeholders
True
Your answer is correct
False
Overall explanation
The Scrum Guide reads: "The Scrum Team is responsible for all
product-related activities from stakeholder collaboration,
verification, maintenance, operation, experimentation, research and
development, and anything else that might be required."

The point here is to avoid behavior such as having the Developers

pointing to the Product Owner if the customers are not satisfied with
WHAT is being delivered and to encourage the Developers (and
Scrum Master) to work with the Product Owner and help him/her
defining the Product.

However, in practice, if you would have to choose between the PO,

Scrum Master, or Developers, who would be responsible for
engaging the stakeholders? The PO, of course, because he/she is
accountable for maximizing the value of the product and the
Developers are busy developing the Increment.

Just as an example, the Developers could proactively make "mini-

reviews" with stakeholders during the Sprint to gather feedback on
the Increments being built. This is "stakeholder engagement".
Question 65Correct
If any aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits so that
the resulting product will be unacceptable, when must an
adjustment be made?

(choose the best answer)

Whenever the Product Owner approves it.
During the next Daily Scrum.
36
During the next Sprint Review.
Whenever the Scrum Master approves it.
Your answer is correct
As soon as possible to minimize further deviation
Overall explanation
If any aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits or if the
resulting product is unacceptable, the process being applied or the
materials being produced must be adjusted. The adjustment must be
made as soon as possible to minimize further deviation.
Question 66Correct
Select the two most suited items that should be taken into the
reckoning for the Definition of Done?

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is correct
Definition of Done of other Scrum Teams working on the same
Product
Your selection is correct
The standards of the Organization
Definition of Done of other Scrum Teams working on other
products
Advice of the Scrum Master
Experience of the Product Owner
Overall explanation
If the Definition of Done for an increment is part of the standards of
the organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If it is
not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a
Definition of Done appropriate for the product.
The Developers are required to conform to the Definition of Done. If
there are multiple Scrum Teams working together on a product, they
must mutually define and comply with the same Definition of Done.
Question 67Correct
Who is accountable for creating a valuable, useful Increment every
Sprint.

37
(choose the best answer)
The Product Owner.

The team leaders.

Your answer is correct
The Scrum Team.
The Scrum Master.

(choose the best answer)

Development of an operational environment for the Product
Software and hardware development
Your answer is correct
Complex work that can include all the suggested options and even
more
Product development, its releasing and sustaining
Research and identifying of viable markets, technologies, and

39
Overall explanation
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.
Question 72Correct
Who is allowed to change the actionable plan for delivering the
Increment?

(choose the best answer)

The Developers and the Product Owner
Your answer is correct
The Developers
The Product Owner
Upper management
The Scrum Master
The Scrum Team
Overall explanation
The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is a highly
visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to
accomplish during the Sprint in order to achieve the Sprint Goal.

No one else tells them how to turn Product Backlog items into
Increments of value.

Question 73Correct
Which of the following is false with regards to what happens during
the Sprint?

(choose the best two answers)

No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal
Quality goals do not decrease
40
Your selection is correct
The Sprint Goal is changed frequently to reflect the status of the
remaining work
Your selection is correct
Sprint scope is defined at the Sprint Planning and cannot be
changed
Scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Product Owner as
more is learned
Overall explanation
During the Sprint:
- No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal;
- Quality does not decrease;
- The Product Backlog is refined as needed; and,
- Scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Product Owner as
more is learned.
Question 74Correct
What does a Sprint Burn-down Chart show?

(choose the best answer)

Dependencies, start times and stop times for project tasks
Your answer is correct
How much work remains till the end of the Sprint
Hierarchy of tasks that comprise a project
The evolution of the amount of uncertainty during a project
Overall explanation
Burn-down chart shows the evolution of remaining effort against
time.
Question 75Correct
When is an item in the Sprint Backlog considered complete?

(choose the best answer)

When the customer approves its completeness
When the Sprint is over
Your answer is correct
41
When it meets the Definition of Done.
The item has all the quality requirements defined by the Product
Owner.
Overall explanation
a. Maybe you may not even start working on the item before the
Sprint was over, then you can't call it complete.

b. They can still miss something. On the other hand, if the test is
focused on the unit, what about testing the integrated solution? It
may break something.

c. It doesn't guarantee that we're absolutely Done with the item and
that it satisfies the customer and user.

A Product Backlog item that you have in the Sprint Backlog is Done
when it satisfies the Definition of Done.
Question 76Correct
Which of the following are commitments of Scrum Artifacts.

(choose all that apply)

Definition of Ready
Your selection is correct
Definition of Done
Project Goal
Your selection is correct
Product Goal

Product Vision
Overall explanation
Each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides
information that enhances transparency and focus against which
progress can be measured:
- For the Product Backlog it is the Product Goal.
42
- For the Sprint Backlog it is the Sprint Goal.
- For the Increment it is the Definition of Done.
Question 77Correct
Select the two essential features of a Scrum Team:

(choose the best two answers)

Your selection is correct
It should choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than
being directed by others outside the team
Your selection is correct
It should have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint
It must only use tools, processes and techniques approved by the
Organization
It should be flexible enough to complete all the work planned for
the Sprint even if some team members are on vacation
Overall explanation
Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all
the skills necessary to create value for each Sprint. They are also self-
managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when,
and how.
Question 78Correct
Select three of the following actions that Scrum Master may take in
starting up a Scrum implementation:

(choose the best three answers)

Your selection is correct
Ask the Developers to introduce themselves to each other and tell
about their skills and background
Ask the Scrum Team to work together and prepare a complete
Product Backlog.
Your selection is correct
Ask the Product Owner to explain the product, its business need,
history, goals, and context.

43
Ask the development managers to introduce their departments and
capabilities
Your selection is correct
Ask the Developers to discuss and identify the way they are going
to develop the product.
Ensure that a bonus system is in place for the top performance of
individuals.
Overall explanation
Product Backlog is never complete. It has to be about the project
and people internal to it, not the external departments. Remember
that the team is cross-functional and does everything needed for the
project, without outside help. Having a reward system is harmful to
the unity of the team.

Question 79Correct
What is the single source of requirements for any changes to be
made to the product?

(choose the best answer)

The Key Stakeholders
The CEO of the Organization
Your answer is correct
The Product Backlog
Team administrator
Overall explanation
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to
be needed in the product. It is the single source of requirements for
any changes to be made to the product.
Question 80Correct
True or False: The Sprint Backlog is created at Sprint Planning. It is
prohibited to add new work into the Sprint Backlog later by the
Developers.
True
Your answer is correct
False
44
Overall explanation
The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is a highly
visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to
accomplish during the Sprint in order to achieve the Sprint Goal.
Consequently, the Sprint Backlog is updated throughout the Sprint
as more is learned. It should have enough detail that they can
inspect their progress in the Daily Scrum.
