1. When should a Sprint Goal be created?

It should have been created in the previous Sprint during Product Backlog refinement.

It must be established before Sprint Planning in order to begin planning.

A Sprint Goal is not mandatory in Scrum.

At any time during the Sprint.

During Sprint Planning.

2. What enhances the transparency of an increment?

Doing all work needed to meet the definition of “Done”

Reporting Sprint progress to the stakeholders daily

Keeping track of and estimating all undone work to be completed in a separate Sprint.

Updating Sprint tasks properly in the electronic tracking tool.

3. Who is responsible for managing the progress of work during a Sprint?

The Scrum Master.

The Development Team.

The Product Owner.

The most junior member of the Team.

4. Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach.

A good way to continue is:

The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as “Done” as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, so it doesn’t mess up the Product Backlog.

Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made.

The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. The produced software is not usable. As the rules of Scrum have not been respected, it is the Scrum Master’s duty to assess whether repair is possible, or a restart with a more reliable team. If not, the Scrum Master should cancel the project.

The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which the remaining work can be done.

5. The time-box for a Daily Scrum?

Two minutes per person.

15 minutes.

15 minutes for a 4 week sprint. For shorter Sprints it is usually shorter.

4 hours.

6. What is the best suited structure for Development Teams in order to produce integrated Increments?

Each Development Team works only one technical layer of the system (e.g. GUI, database, middle tier, interfaces).

Each Development Team develops functionality from beginning to end throughout all technical layers.

7. The Product Owner determines how many Product Backlog items the Development Team selects for a Sprint.

False.

True, accordingly to what was committed to the stakeholders.

True, but only after confirmation by the resource manager that the Team has enough capacity.

True.

False, the Scrum Master does that.

False, capacity and commitment are the Project manager’s responsibility.

8. 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 hiring manager is responsible, because he/she hired the developer.

The Scrum Manager is responsible, because he/she removes Impediments.

The Development Team is responsible, and may need help from the Scrum Master.

The Product Owner is responsible, because he/she controls the return on investment (ROI).

9. The Product Owner must release each Increment to production.

When it makes sense.

Without exception.
