Optimal Scrum Team size is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work
within a Sprint. Too few members decreases interaction and delivers smaller productivity gains. Too many
Scrum Team members requires too much coordination.

Question 2 of 30

During a Sprint, a Developer determines that the Scrum Team will not be able to complete the
items in their forecast. Who should be present to review and adjust the Product Backlog items
selected?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answers in random order during the test.

A) The Developers.

B) The Product Owner and the Developers.

C) The Product Owner and all stakeholders.

D) The Scrum Master, the project manager, and the Developers

Feedback
During the Sprint, scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the Product Owner and the Developers
as more is learned. It is important to be transparent when challenges arise since ultimately the entire Scrum
Team is accountable for creating a valuable, useful Increment.

Question 3 of 30

How much work must the Developers complete for each Product Backlog item they select for a
Sprint?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answers in random order during the test.

A) Enough so that each Product Backlog item they select meets the Definition of Done.

current Definition of Done.

Question 4 of 30

True or False: The Scrum Team must choose at least one high priority process improvement
item, identified during the Sprint Retrospective, and place it in the Sprint Backlog.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)

A) True

B) False

Feedback
An earlier version of the Scrum Guide prescribed the practice of placing one improvement in the Sprint
Backlog. This was removed in the 2020 update to the Scrum Guide because it was felt to be too
prescriptive. However, if this practice provides value to you then you should adopt it. It is simply not
prescribed anymore, but can still be valuable.

members' definitions.

Done appropriate for the product.
