Question 1

True or False: The purpose of a Sprint Is lo produce a valuable useful Inclement.

Accepted Answer

According to the Scrum Guide, the purpose of a Sprint is to produce a valuable useful Increment that meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. This means
that the Developers work on items from the Product Backlog that deliver value to the stakeholders and align with the product vision. The other option is not valid,
as it implies that producing an Increment is not the purpose of a Sprint.

Question 2

What is the function or purpose of management in Scrum? (choose the best answer)

Accepted Answer

The best answer is C. The function or purpose of management in Scrum is to present the Scrum Teams with insights and resources that help them improve.
According to the article What is the Function or Purpose of Management in Scrum?, management is still critical to providing vision, securing resources, hiring
talent, training teams, removing roadblocks, and continuously improving. Management also encourages collaboration and establishes Scrum Team autonomy,
which are essential for Scrum’s values and principles.
A, B and D are not good answers because they imply a command-and-control approach that contradicts Scrum’s values of respect, openness, and selforganization. Management in Scrum is not supposed to micromanage, judge, or interfere with the work of the Developers, but rather support them and enable
them to deliver value.

Question 3

You have just been hired by a company new to Scrum. Your management has assigned you to be the Scrum Master of six new Scrum Teams. These teams will
build one product. Select two conditions you should strive for in this scenario. (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The product has one Product Backlog, as it is a single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product. There should be only one Product
Owner, who is accountable for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Development Team. Having multiple Product Owners or Product Backlogs
would create confusion, inconsistency, and waste.

Question 4

Which of the following is required by Scrum? (Choose all that apply.)

Accepted Answer

explanation of Correct

Question 5

The Product Backlog is ordered by:

Accepted Answer

The Product Backlog is ordered by the Product Owner with the most valuable items placed at the top, as stated in [6]: “The Product Owner is responsible for
ordering items on their product backlog based on their value to customers and users. Value can be measured by various factors, such as business value, customer
satisfaction, risk reduction, learning opportunities, etc. The most valuable items are placed at the top of the product backlog so that they can be delivered sooner
by the development team.”

Question 6

Which approach is best for Scrum Teams in order to produce valuable Increments? (Choose the best answer.)

Accepted Answer

According to the Scrum Guide, the best approach for Scrum Teams in order to produce valuable Increments is to have each Developer work on the component
where they feel that they can contribute. This means that the Developers can self-organize and collaborate effectively to deliver a valuable Increment that meets
the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. The other options are not valid approaches, as they either imply that the Developers work in silos or rely on external
people (such as developing functionality from beginning to end, working on an independent set of components, or working only as an independent layer of the
system).

Question 7

Which technique is the best way the Scrum Master can ensure that the Development Team communicates effectively with the Product Owner?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A, because the best way the Scrum Master can ensure that the Development Team communicates effectively with the Product Owner is to
monitor communications between them and facilitate direct collaboration. The Scrum Guide states that “the Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several
ways, including … facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed.” Therefore, the Scrum Master should help the Development Team and the Product Owner
interact regularly and productively during the Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective events.

Question 8

A Development Team asks their Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog. The team is waiting for an external supplier to deliver a specific software
component. Without that component there won’t be enough work in the next Sprint to occupy the full team. The Product Owner asks the Scrum Master for help.
What would be good advice to give the Product Owner?

Accepted Answer

According to the Scrum Guide1, ordering Product Backlog items is solely up to the Product Owner’s discretion. The Product Owner orders items in the Product
Backlog to best achieve goals and missions. To do this, they optimize value by considering various factors such as cost and benefit, risk, dependencies, date
needed, etc.

Question 9

What techniques could the Scrum Master use when the Scrum Team gets caught in an internal disagreement about which agile practices to apply? (Choose the
best two answers.)

Accepted Answer

Two techniques that the Scrum Master could use when the Scrum Team gets caught in an internal disagreement about which agile practices to apply are to
involve the complete Scrum Team in making a decision, and to use coaching techniques such as open questions and active listening, as stated in [3]: “The Scrum
Master should facilitate a constructive dialogue among the team members and help them reach a consensus on which agile practices to use. The Scrum Master
should also use coaching techniques such as open questions and active listening to understand the underlying needs and motivations of each team member and
to help them find common ground.”

Question 10

A member of the Development Team takes the Scrum Master aside to express his concerns about data security issues. What should the Scrum Master do?

Accepted Answer

The Scrum Master should ask the person to share the issue with the team as soon as possible, as stated in [5]: “The Scrum Master should encourage
transparency and collaboration within the team and with other stakeholders. If there is a concern about data security issues, it should be brought up to the team
and discussed openly. The team can then decide how to handle it, whether by creating a Product Backlog item, updating the definition of “Done”, or taking some
other action.”
