F) The Developers create their own Sprint Backlog, reflecting all work that is required to meet
the Definition of Done.

Feedback
The Daily Scrum is for the Developers. It should not be used by external stakeholders to check
progress.
During Sprint Planning the Scrum Team should be crafting the Sprint Goal based on the set of
Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint. The Developers identify the necessary work to
meet the Sprint Goal.
Scrum Team members do not have titles, and no sub-teams; such as testing, architecture, or
operations are recognized. Accountability belongs with the Scrum Team as a whole, regardless
of whether team members have specialized skills.

Question 2 of 30

True or False: The purpose of a Sprint is to produce a valuable and useful Increment of working
product.

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)

A) True

B) False

Feedback
The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a timebox of one month or less during which a done, useful, and valuable
working product Increment is created.

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)

The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver useful and valuable Increments that adhere to the Scrum Team's
current Definition of Done.

When does a Developer become the sole owner of a Sprint Backlog item?

(choose the best answer)

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

A) Never. All Sprint Backlog items are "owned" by the Developers on the Scrum Team even
though each item may be implemented by an individual Developer.

B) At the Sprint Planning event.

C) Whenever a team member can accommodate more work.

D) During the Daily Scrum.

Feedback
Sprint Backlog and all of its items are collectively owned by the Developers. No individual Developer can
claim ownership over an item as this would block communication and collaboration.

Question 14 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.

each Sprint.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)

released.

Scrum Team members requires too much coordination.
