Question#1

What is the timebox for a Sprint Planning event? (choose the best answer)

A. Monthly.
B. 8 hours for a one-month Sprint
C. Whenever ills done
D. 4 hours for a one-month Sprint

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide, the timebox for a Sprint Planning event is 8 hours for a one-month Sprint, proportionally shorter for shorter Sprints. The other options are not valid, as they are either too long (such as monthly), too vague (such as whenever it’s done), or too short (such as 4 hours for a one-onth Sprint).

Question#2

What are two ways that architecture and infrastructure are handled in Scrum? (Choose two.)

A. They are discussed, determined, and documented before the actual feature development Sprints.
B. They are implemented along with functional development of the product.
C. They are added to the Product Backlog and addressed in early Sprints, while always requiring at least some business functionality, no matter how small.
D. They are built by a separate team through the creation of an architectural runway.

Explanation:
Architecture and infrastructure are handled in Scrum by implementing them along with functional development of the product, and by adding them to the Product Backlog and addressing them in early Sprints, while always requiring at least some business functionality, no matter how small, as stated in [2]: “Scrum does not distinguish between developing functionality or architecture. They are developed together, as they are both important and support each other. Architecture is not a separate phase; it is part of the product development. Architecture is added to the Product Backlog as any other feature or functionality.”

Question#3

When is a Product Backlog item considered complete? (choose the best answer)

A. When the item passes ail acceptance criteria
B. When the item has gamed product sponsor approval
C. At the end of the Sprint
D. When the item meets the Definition of Done

Explanation:
A Product Backlog item is considered complete when it meets the Definition of Done, as stated in [5]: “When a Product Backlog item or an Increment is described as “Done”, everyone must understand what “Done” means. Although this varies significantly per Scrum Team, members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency. This is the definition of “Done” for the Scrum Team and is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment.”

Question#4

One of the Scrum events is the Daily Scrum.
What are two intended outcomes of the Daily Scrum? (Choose two.)

A. A shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken next to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint goal.
B. An update of completed tasks and of the remaining work so the Scrum Master can plan the next day.
C. A status report for the upper management indicating what each individual has done, will be doing, and what is impending him/her.
D. An updated Scrum board to make Sprint progress transparent for the stakeholders.
E. New impediments for the Scrum Master to take care of.

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).

Question#5

user documentation is part ot your Definition ot Done. However, there are not enough technical writers for all teams. Your Scrum Team does not have a technical writer.
What should the Scrum Team do? (choose the best answer)

A. The Developers on the Scrum Team should write the user documentatiom
B. Wait until you have a technical writer on your Scrum Team to take care of this.
C. Form a separate team of technical writers that will work on an on-demand basis tor the various Product Owners. Work order will be first in, first out.
D. Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by any available technical writers.

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide, the Developers on the Scrum Team should write the user documentation, as they are responsible for creating a “Done” Increment that meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. The other options are not valid, as they imply that the user documentation can be deferred, ignored, or outsourced, which is not consistent with Scrum values and principles.
