Five new Scrum Teams have been created to build one product. A few of the developers on one of the Development Teams ask the Scrum Master how to coordinate their work with the order teams.
What should the Scrum Master do?
- A . Teach the Product Owner to work with the lead developers on ordering Product Backlog in a way to avoid too much technical and development overlap during a Sprint.
- B . Teach them that it is their responsibility to work with the other teams to create an integrated Increment.
- C . Collect the Sprint tasks from the teams at the end of their Sprint Planning and merge that into a consolidated plan for the entire Sprint.
- D . Visit the five teams each day to inspect that their Sprint Backlogs are aligned.
When is the Sprint Backlog created?
- A . At the beginning of the project.
- B . During the Sprint Planning meeting.
- C . Prior to the Sprint Planning meeting.
- D . During the Sprint.
To get started in terms of what to build, Scrum requires no more than a Product Owner with enough ideas for a first Sprint, a Development Team to implement those ideas and a Scrum Master to help guide the process.
- A . True
- B . False
You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using Scrum. In the initial project there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e. one for the front-end, one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services. This resembles what is known as component teams. But you have read that it’s a good idea to have teams organized by feature.
What are the advantages of keeping component teams while starting Scrum?
- A . There’s less initial disruption than organizing into new teams. As they start, they will discover what works best, and how to potentially re-organize towards this.
- B . Component teams generally have the skills needed to create a working Increment of software that provides business value.
- C . Because they have worked together for some time, they are likely able to start producing shippable Increments faster that new feature teams would.
- D . There are fewer cross-team dependencies than working in feature teams.
Which two activities will a Product Owner engage in during a Sprint? (Choose two.)
- A . Run the Daily Scrum.
- B . Prioritize the Development Team’s work on the Sprint Backlog.
- C . Update the Sprint burndown chart.
- D . Answer questions from the Development Team about items in the current Sprint.
- E . Work with the stakeholders.
Who can abnormally terminate a Sprint?
- A . The Scrum Master
- B . The Development Team or its members.

- C . It is fifteen minutes or less in duration.
- D . It is free from and designed to promote conversation.
- E . It consists of the Scrum Master asking the Team members the three questions.
- F . Its location and time remain constant.
The Product Owner must release each Increment to production.
- A . When it makes sense.
- B . To make sure the Development Team is done every Sprint.
- C . Whenever the product is free of defects.
- D . Without exception.
A Scrum Master is working with a Development Team that has members in different physical locations. The Development Team meets in a variety of meeting rooms and has much to do logistically (for example, set up conference calls) before the Daily Scrum.
What action should the Scrum Master take?
- A . Allow the Development Team to self-manage and determine for itself what to do.
- B . Set up the meeting and tell the Development Team that is how it will be done.
- C . Ask the Development Team members to alternate who is responsible for meeting setup.
- D . Inform management and ask them to solve it.
