- A. 7 plus or minus 3.
- B. 10 or fewer.
- C. 0
- D. At least 7.

- D. An updated Scrum board to make Sprint progress transparent for the stakeholders.
- E. A shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken next to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint goal.
Answer: A,E
Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide, two intended outcomes of the Daily Scrum are a shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken next to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint goal, and new impediments for the Scrum Master to take care of. The other options are not intended outcomes of the Daily Scrum, as they are either irrelevant (such as updating a Scrum board) or inappropriate (such as providing an update or a status report).
NEW QUESTION # 98
Which three of the following are feedback loops in Scrum? (Choose the best three answers.)
- A. Release Planning.
- B. Refinement Meeting.

NEW QUESTION # 99
Who should make sure everyone on the Development Team does their tasks for the Sprint?
- A. The Development Team.
- B. All of the above.
- C. The Scrum Master.
- D. The Project Manager.
- E. The Product Owner.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1, the Developers are self-organizing and decide how to turn Product Backlog items into an Increment of value. No one tells them how to do their work. The Developers are accountable for creating a plan for the Sprint, the Sprint Backlog. The other roles are not responsible for making sure everyone on the Development Team does their tasks for the Sprint.
NEW QUESTION # 100
Which statement best describes a Product Owner's responsibility?
- A. Managing the project and ensuring that the work meets the commitments to the stakeholders.
- B. Optimizing the value of the work the Development Team does.
- C. Keeping stakeholders at bay.

Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 101
A Scrum Master is keeping a list of open impediments, but it is growing and he/she has been able to resolve only a small portion of the impediments. Which three techniques would be most helpful in this situation?
(Choose three.)
- A. Arranging a triage meeting with all project managers.
- B. Consultingwith the Development Team.
- C. Prioritizing the list and working on them in order.
- D. Alerting management to the impediments and their impact.
Answer: B,C,D
NEW QUESTION # 102
The Product Owner determines how many Product Backlog items the Development Team selects for a Sprint.
- A. True.
- B. True, accordingly to what was committed to the stakeholders.
- C. True, but only after confirmation by the resource manager that the Team has enough capacity.
- D. False, capacity and commitment are the Project manager's responsibility.
- E. False, the Scrum Master does that.
- F. False.
Answer: F
Explanation:
The correct answer is A, because the Product Owner does not determine how many Product Backlog items the Development Team selects for a Sprint. The Scrum Guide states that "the number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely up to the Development Team. Only the Development Team can assess what it can accomplish over the upcoming Sprint." Therefore, the Development Team is responsible for choosing the scope of work for a Sprint.
NEW QUESTION # 103
What is the recommended size for a Development Team?
- A. 7 plus or minus 3.
- B. 3 to 9.
- C. 9.
- D. At least 7.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is D, because the recommended size for a Development Team is 3 to 9 members. The Scrum Guide states that "fewer than three Development Team members decrease interaction and results in smaller productivity gains. Smaller Development Teams may encounter skill constraints during the Sprint, causing the Development Team to be unable to deliver a potentially releasable Increment. Having more than nine members requires too much coordination. Large Development Teams generate too much complexity for an empirical process to be useful."
NEW QUESTION # 104
Which of the following are true about the Product Owner role? (Choose two.)
- A. Multiple people can share the Product Owner role on a Scrum Team.
- B. The Product Owner role can be played by a committee or a team of people.
- C. The Product Owner is accountable for ordering the Product Backlog.
- D. The Product Owner is one person.
Answer: C,D
NEW QUESTION # 105
In the Sprint Planning meeting, the Product Owner and the Development Team were unable to reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Development Team couldn't figure out how many Product Backlog items it could forecast for the upcoming Sprint. They were able to agree on a Sprint Goal, however.
Which of the following two actions should the Scrum Master support? (Choose two.)
- A. Discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.
- B. Forecast the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, start the Sprint and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.
- C. Ask everyone to take as much time as needed to analyze the Product Backlog first, and then reconvene another Sprint Planning meeting.
- D. Continue the Sprint Planning meeting past its time-box until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well enough understood for the Development Team to make a complete forecast. Then start the Sprint.
- E. Cancel the Sprint. Send the entire team to an advanced Scrum training and then start a new Sprint.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1, the Sprint Planning meeting has a time-box of eight hours or less for a one-month Sprint. The Scrum Master ensures that the meeting is time-boxed and keeps the Scrum Team focused on the objective. If the Development Team cannot forecast how many Product Backlog items it can complete, it should still start the Sprint and work on the most likely items to meet the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Backlog can be updated throughout the Sprint as more is learned. The Scrum Master should also support the team to discuss the reasons for the lack of clarity in the Product Backlog items and how to prevent it from happening again in the next Sprint Retrospective.
NEW QUESTION # 106
Which three questions might be answered by Development Team members at the Daily Scrum? (Choose the best three answers.)
- A. What will I do today to help the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?
- B. Do I see any impediment that prevents me or the Development Team from meeting the Sprint Goal?
- C. What will I be working on tomorrow?
- D. What did I do yesterday that helped the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?
- E. How many hours did I spend on the project yesterday?
- F. How is the Sprint proceeding?
- G. Why were you late?
Answer: A,B,D
NEW QUESTION # 107
Why should the Product Owner be present at the Daily Scrum?
- A. To represent the stakeholders' point of view.
- B. To participate as a Scrum Team member.
- C. He/She doesn't need to be there.
- D. To hear about impediments in functionality.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 108
If burndown charts are used to visualize progress, what do they track?
- A. Individual worker productivity.
- B. Accumulated cost.
- C. Work remaining across time.
- D. Accumulated business value delivered to the customer.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C, because if burndown charts are used to visualize progress, they track work remaining across time. A burndown chart is a graphical representation of the amount of work left to do versus the time available. It helps the Scrum Team monitor and forecast the progress toward the Sprint Goal.
NEW QUESTION # 109
What is the timebox for the sprint Review? (choose the best answer)
- A. 1 day
- B. 4 hours for a one-month Sprint.
- C. 2 hours for a one-month Sprint.
- D. As long as needed
Answer: B
Explanation:
The timebox for the Sprint Review is four hours for a one-month Sprint, as stated in [4]: "The Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed. 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 Owner explains what Product Backlog items have been "Done" and what has not been "Done"; additionally, they discuss any changes to scope or budget or potential value. The entire group then collaborates on what to do next, so that the Sprint Review provides valuable input to subsequent Sprint Planning. The Sprint Review is a working session and attendees should inspect based on facts. A Sprint Review is held at the end of every Sprint for a maximum duration of four hours for a one-month Sprint."
NEW QUESTION # 110
Which two ways of creating Development Teams are consistent with Scrum's values? (Choose two.)
- A. Managers collaborate to assign individuals to specific teams.
- B. Bring all the developers together and let them self-organize into Development Teams.
- C. The Chief Product Owner determines the new team structures and assignments.
- D. Managers personally re-assign current subordinates to new teams.
- E. Existing teams propose how they would like to go about organizing into the new structure.
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
The correct answers are A and D, because these ways of creating Development Teams are consistent with Scrum's values. Allowing existing teams to propose how they would like to organize into the new structure respects their self-organization and empowerment. Bringing all the developers together and letting them self-organize into Development Teams also respects their autonomy and collaboration.
NEW QUESTION # 111
Which two things are appropriate for a Scrum Master to do if the Development Team doesn't have the engineering tools and infrastructure to completely finish each selected Product Backlog item? (Choose two.)
- A. Declare the Development Team not ready for Scrum.
- B. Encourage the Product Owner to accept partially "Done" increments until the situation improves.
- C. Refocus the current Sprint on establishing the Development Team's infrastructure instead of delivering an increment.
- D. Coach the Development Team to improve its skills, tools, and infrastructure over time and adjust the Definition of "Done" accordingly.
- E. Have the Development Team establish a Definition of "Done" that is actually possible to achieve given current circumstances.
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1, 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 guides the Development Team in creating a "Done" Increment. The definition of "Done" is created by the development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization). The definition of "Done" may vary significantly per Scrum Team, depending on the context. One aspect of Scrum Teams inspecting how they work toward their Product Goal is that they improve their definition of "Done" over time. Therefore, two things that are appropriate for a Scrum Master to do if the Development Team doesn't have the engineering tools and infrastructure to completely finish each selected Product Backlog item are:
Coach the Development Team to improve its skills, tools, and infrastructure over time and adjust the Definition of "Done" accordingly.
Have the Development Team establish a Definition of "Done" that is actually possible to achieve given current circumstances.
NEW QUESTION # 112
Which Scrum Value is affected by a lack of trust in the Scrum Team?
- A. Focus
- B. Openness
- C. Courage
- D. All of the above.
- E. Commitment.
- F. Respect
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 113
What it the main reason for the Scrum Master to be at the Daily Scrum?
- A. To make sure every team member answers the three questions.
- B. He or she does not have to be there; he or she only has to ensure the Development Team has a Daily Scrum.
- C. To gather status and progress information to report to management.
- D. To write down any changes to the Sprint Backlog, including adding new items, and tracking progress on the burn-down.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is C, because the Scrum Guide states that "the Scrum Master ensures that the Development Team has the meeting, but the Development Team is responsible for conducting the Daily Scrum. The Scrum Master teaches the Development Team to keep the Daily Scrum within the 15-minute time-box." Therefore, the main reason for the Scrum Master to be at the Daily Scrum is to ensure that it happens, but he or she does not have to be there.
NEW QUESTION # 114
As the Development Team starts work during the Sprint, it realizes it has selected too much work to finish in the Sprint. What should it do?
- A. Inform the Product Owner at the Sprint Review, but prior to the demonstration.
- B. Find another Scrum Team to give the excess work to.
- C. As soon as possible in the Sprint, work with the Product Owner to remove some work or Product Backlog items.
- D. Reduce the definition of "Done" and get all of the Product Backlog items "Done" by the new definition.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C, because as soon as possible in the Sprint, the Development Team should work with the Product Owner to remove some work or Product Backlog items if they realize they have selected too much work to finish in the Sprint. The Scrum Guide states that "the Development Team may renegotiate the selected Product Backlog items with the Product Owner. If the Development Team realizes it has too much or too little work, it may renegotiate the selected Product Backlog items with the Product Owner. The Development Team may also invite other people to attend to provide technical or domain advice."
NEW QUESTION # 115
A Product Owner wants advice from the Scrum Master about estimating work in Scrum. Which of these is the guideline that a Scrum Master should give?
- A. Estimates are made by the Development Team.
- B. Product Backlog items must be estimated in story points.
- C. Scrum forbids estimating.
- D. Estimates must be in relative units.
- E. Estimates are made by the Product Owner, but are best checked with the Development Team.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is B, because the guideline that a Scrum Master should give is that estimates are made by the Development Team. The Scrum Guide states that "the number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely up to the Development Team. Only the Development Team can assess what it can accomplish over the upcoming Sprint." Therefore, the Development Team should estimate the work in Scrum, using any method or unit they prefer.
NEW QUESTION # 116
The Sprint Goal is a result of Sprint Planning, as is the Sprint Backlog.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide1, the Sprint Goal is an objective set for the Sprint that can be met through the implementation of Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the Developers on why it is building the Increment. It also provides a basis for inspecting and adapting during the Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective. The Sprint Goal is a result of Sprint Planning, as is the Sprint Backlog.
