When is implementation of a Product Backlog item considered complete?. When all work in the Sprint Backlog related to the item is finished. When QA reports that the item passes all acceptance criteria. When the item has no work remaining in order to be potentially released. At the end of the Sprint.

The Daily Scrum is an event that happens every day. What would be three key concerns if the frequency were to be lowered to every two or three days? (Choose three.). Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly. The Product Owner cannot accurately report progress to the stakeholders. The Scrum Master loses the ability to update the Gantt chart properly. Too much work is spent updating the Scrum board before the meeting. Opportunities to insect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are lost.

A product Increment must be released to production at the end of each Sprint. True. False.

What happens if the Development Team cannot complete its work by the end of the Sprint?. The Sprint length holds and the Development Team continuously learns what is actually possible to do within a Sprint of this length. The Sprint is extended and future Sprints use this new duration. The Sprint is extended temporarily. Lessons are taken to ensure it doesn't happen again.

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?. Find another Scrum Team to give the excess work to. As soon as possible in the Sprint, work with the Product Owner to remove some work or Product Backlog items. Reduce the definition of "Done" and get all of the Product Backlog items "Done" by the new definition. Inform the Product Owner at the Sprint Review, but prior to the demonstration.

User documentation is part of your definition of "Done". However, there aren't enough technical writers for all teams. Your Development Team doesn't have a technical writer. What should you do?. Your Development Team is still responsible for creating user documentation. In this case, the Development Team members will write it. Wait until you have a technical writer on your Development Team to take care of this. Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by any available technical writers. Form a separate team of technical writers that will work on an on-demand basis for the various Product Owners. Work order will be first in, first out.

(Choose the best answer.). Inform management and ask them to solve it. Ask the Development Team members to alternate who is responsible for meeting setup. Set up the meeting and tell the Development Team that is how it will be done. Allow the Development Team to self-manage and determine for itself what to do.

Which statement best describes the Sprint Backlog as outcome of the Sprint Planning?. It is the Development Team's plan for the Sprint. It is a complete list of all work to be done in a Sprint. Every item has a designated owner. Each task is estimated in hours. It is ordered by the Product Owner.

When is the Sprint Backlog created?. At the beginning of the project. During the Sprint Planning meeting. Prior to the Sprint Planning meeting. During the Sprint.

The Daily Scrum is an event that happens every day. What would be three key concerns if the frequency were to be lowered to every two or three days? (Choose three.). The Scrum Master loses the ability to update the Gantt chart properly. Too much work is spent updating the Scrum board before the meeting. Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly.

Shortly into using Scrum for the first time in an organization, the Scrum Team runs into several impediments in following Scrum. The most common inference is: Scrum does not work for their organization. The Scrum Team didn't plan the project end-to-end well in advance. It is normal for first timers. Scrum will expose all weakness in the current eco-system that impede developing Product Increments in short Sprints.

Team Velocity refers to: Average of amount of Product Backlog Items turned into Done Items per Sprint. Average rate of churn of team members in Scrum Team during a Sprint. Average number of defects per Sprint normalized over all defect types.
