Scrum PSM I Exam Mockup - 3b

What are two good ways for a Scrum Team to ensure security concerns aresatisfied? (Choose two.). Delegate the work to the concerned department. Add security concerns to the definition of "Done". Have the Scrum Team create Product Backlog items for each concern. Add a Sprint to specifically resolve all security concerns. Postpone the work until a specialist can perform a security audit andcreate a list of security-related Product Backlog items.

The Product Backlog is ordered by: Items are randomly arranged. Size, where small items are at the top and large items are at the bottom. The Product Owner with the most valuable items placed at the top. Risk, where safer items are at the top, and riskier items are at thebottom.

Five new Scrum Teams have been created to build one product. A few ofthe 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?. 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. 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. Teach them that it is their responsibility to work with the other teams tocreate an integrated Increment. Visit the five teams each day to inspect that their Sprint Backlogs are aligned.

Who starts the Daily Scrum?. The person who last broke the build. The person coming in last. This encourages people to be on time and helps to stay within the time-box. The person who has the token. The Scrum Master. This ensures that the Development Team has the meeting and stays within the time-box. Whoever the Development Team decides should start.

You have just been hired by a company new to Scrum. Your management hasassigned you to be the Scrum Master of six new Scrum Teams. These teams will build one product. Select two conditions you should strive for inthis scenario. (Choose two.). There should be only one Product Owner. There should be six Product Owners, reporting to a chief Product Owner. The product has one Product Backlog. Each Scrum Team should have a separate Product Backlog. There should be six Product Owners, one for each Scrum Team.

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'sa good idea to have teams organized by feature. What are the advantages of keeping component teams while starting Scrum?. There are fewer cross-team dependencies than working in feature teams. 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. Component teams generally have the skills needed to create a working Increment of software that provides business value. Because they have worked together for some time, they are likely able to start producing shippable Increments faster that new feature teams would.

What is the tactic a Scrum Master should use to divide a group of 100 people into multiple Development Teams?. Create teams based on their skills across multiple layers (such asdatabase, UI, etc.). Ask the developers to divide themselves into teams. Ask the Product Owner to assign the people to teams.

Who must attend the Daily Scrum?. The Development Team and Scrum Master. The Development Team and Product Owner. The Development Team. The Scrum Master and Product Owner. The Scrum Team.

Currently, your Development Teams are organized to address a single layer only (for example, front end, middle tier, back end, andinterfaces). What are three things to consider when deciding to move away from such component teams toward feature teams? (Choose three.). Feature teams have less communication overhead. You cannot do Scrum without feature teams. Productivity may suffer when making this kind of move. Getting support from the business side first helps. With feature teams, it is easier to calculate the productivity per team.

What is the key concern when multiple Development Teams are working from the same Product Backlog?. Maximizing velocity. Meeting original scope projections. Making sure there's enough work for everyone on every team. Clear definition of requirements. Minimizing dependencies between teams.

Which Scrum Value is affected by a lack of trust in the Scrum Team?. All of the above. Openness. Respect. Focus. Commitment. Courage.

Who is responsible for managing the progress of work during a Sprint?. The Product Owner. The Development Team. The Scrum Master. The most junior member of the Team.

A Development Team is required to deliver a done Increment by the endof a Sprint. Select two statements that explain what "Done" means.(Choose two.). All work the Development Team is willing to do. Ready for integration. No work left from the definition of "Done". Whatever the Product Owner defines as quality. All work to create software that is ready to be released to end users.

Who is on the Scrum Team? (Choose all that apply.). Scrum Master. None of the above. Product Owner. Development Team member. Project Manager.

Which two ways of creating Development Teams are consistent withScrum's values? (Choose two.). Existing teams propose how they would like to go about organizing into the new structure. Managers collaborate to assign individuals to specific teams. The Chief Product Owner determines the new team structures and assignments. Bring all the developers together and let them self-organize into Development Teams. Managers personally re-assign current subordinates to new teams.

How much work must a Development Team do to a Product Backlog item itselects for a Sprint?. As much as it can fit into the Sprint. Any remaining work will be transferred to a subsequent Sprint. As much as it has told the Product Owner will be done for every Product Backlog item it selects in conformance with the definition of "Done". All development work and at least some testing. A proportional amount of time on analysis, design, programming, testing,and documentation.

What are three ways Scrum promotes self-organization? (Choose three.). By preventing stakeholders from entering the development room. By removing titles for Development Team members. By not allowing documentation. By being a lightweight framework. By the Development Team deciding what work to do in a Sprint.

The length of a Sprint should be: No more than one calendar month. All of these answers are correct. Short enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner. Short enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events.

Which of the following services are appropriate for a Scrum Master in regard to the Daily Scrum?. Make sure that all 3 questions have been answered by each member of the team. Keep track of whether each team member has a chance to speak. Lead the discussions of the Development Team. All of the above. Teach the Development Team to keep the Daily Scrum within the 15 minutetime-box.

Cross-functional teams are optimized to work on one technical layer ofa system only (e.g. GUI, database, middle tier, interfaces). False. True.

What are three benefits of self-organization? (Choose three.). Increased accuracy of estimates. Increased rule compliance. Increased self-accountability. Increased creativity. Increased commitment.

What enhances the transparency of an increment?. Doing all work needed to meet the definition of "Done". Reporting Sprint progress to the stakeholders daily. Updating Sprint tasks properly in the electronic tracking tool. Keeping track of and estimating all undone work to be completed in a separate Sprint.

What is the purpose of a Sprint Review?. To build team sprint. To take time to judge the validity of the project. To inspect the product increment with the stakeholders and collect feedback on next steps. To review the Scrum Team's activities and processes during the Sprint.

Who creates the definition of "Done"?. The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members' definition. The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product's success. The development organization (or Development Team if none is available fromthe development organization). The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team's productivity.

A Sprint Retrospective should be held: At the end of the last Sprint in a project or a release. Only when the Scrum Team determines it needs one. At the beginning of each Sprint. At the end of each Sprint.

Why should the Product Owner be present at the Daily Scrum?. To hear about impediments in functionality. To participate as a Scrum Team member. To represent the stakeholders' point of view. He/She doesn't need to be there.

When should a Sprint Goal be created?. It must be established before Sprint Planning in order to begin planning. During Sprint Planning. At any time during the Sprint. It should have been created in the previous Sprint during Product Backlogrefinement. A Sprint Goal is not mandatory in Scrum.

Why does a Development Team need a Sprint Goal?. A Sprint Goal ensures that all of the Product Backlog items selected forthe Sprint are implemented. The Development Team is more focused with a common yet specific goal. Sprint Goals are not valuable. Everything is known from the Product Backlog. A Sprint Goal only gives purpose to Sprint 0.

Which are properties of the Daily Scrum? (Choose two.). It is held first thing in the morning. It is fifteen minutes or less in duration. It consists of the Scrum Master asking the Team members the three questions. Its location and time remain constant. It is free from and designed to promote conversation. It is facilitated by the team lead.

If two Scrum Teams are added to the development of a product that previously had only one Scrum Team, what will be the immediate impact on the productivity of the original Scrum Team?. Its productivity is likely to decrease. Its productivity is likely to stay the same. Its productivity is likely to increase.

Sprint burndown charts are an efficient tracking tool, because they show: How many Product Backlog items remain. How many hours have been worked by each Development Team member. An estimate of the total work remaining for the Sprint. How much effort has gone into a Sprint.

A Scrum Team has been working on a product for nine Sprints. A newProduct Owner comes in, understanding he is accountable for the Product Backlog. However, he is unsure about his responsibilities. Which twoactivities are part of the Product Owner role according to Scrum?(Choose two.). Interacting with stakeholders. Providing the Development Team with detailed specifications. Ensuring that the most valuable functionality is produced first, at alltimes. Describing features as Use Cases. Creating detailed functional test cases.

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

A new developer is having continuing conflicts with existing Development Team members and creating the hostile environment. If necessary, who is responsible for removing the team member?. The Development Team is responsible, and may need help from the ScrumMaster. The Scrum Manager is responsible, because he/she removes Impediments. The hiring manager is responsible, because he/she hired the developer. The Product Owner is responsible, because he/she controls the return on investment (ROI).

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

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

During a Sprint Retrospective, for what is the Scrum Master responsible?. Prioritizing the resulting action items. Participating as a Scrum team member and facilitating as requested orneeded. Summarizing and reporting the discussions to management. Acting as a scribe to capture the Development Team's answers.

Who is responsible for clearly expressing Product Backlog items?. The business analyst who represents the Product Owner in the DevelopmentTeam. The Scrum Master, or the Scrum Master may have the Development Team do it. The Scrum Master. The Product Owner.

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?. Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by any available technicalwriters. 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. 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.

A member of the Development Team takes the Scrum Master aside toexpress his concerns about data security issues. What should the Scrum Master do?. Tell the Product Owner to stop further development of features until theissues are fixed. Add security to the definition of "Done". Ask the person to share the issue with the team as soon as possible. Create a Product Backlog item for security. Go check with the testers.
