The structure of the Daily Scrum is well-defined and constant. Every team member should answer the three main questions:

What did I do yesterday?


What will I do today?
Do I see any impediment?

There is no any prescribed structure. The structure of the Daily Scrum is set by the Development Team and can be conducted in different ways if it
focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal. Some Development Teams will use questions, some will be more discussion based. It is still perfectly fine to
use the questions, but other ways of conducting the meeting are also possible.

Question 59 of 87

59. Question
Category: Scrum Events

Could the Sprint Planning be finished if only work planned for the first days of the Sprint is decomposed to units of one day or less?

Yes, if the remaining work is also estimated, maybe in bigger units

No, all items in the Sprint Backlog should be decomposed to units of one day or less by the end of the Sprint Planning

Incorrect
The Scrum Guide requires only the work planned for the first days of the Sprint is decomposed by the end of the Sprint Planning, often to units of one
day or less. However, the Development Team should be able to explain to the Product Owner and Scrum Master how it intends to work as a self-
organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment.

Do I see any impediment that prevents me or the Development Team from meeting the Sprint Goal?

What will I do today to help the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?

What did I do yesterday that helped the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?

Did I explain all the discovered issues I found yesterday to the Product Owner?

Do I have complete understanding of the Sprint Backlog item I am working on?

It is normal to have a “hardening” Sprint to remove all technical debt and prepare the Product for upcoming release.

True

False

Incorrect
It is not normal. Development Teams deliver an Increment of product functionality every Sprint. This Increment is usable, so a Product Owner may
choose to immediately release it. So, there is nothing to prepare. Each increment contains only “Done” functionality that could be released immediately.

Backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify
what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.

Who is responsible for creation of the Definition of “Done”?

The Development Team

The Scrum Master

The Scrum Team

The Product Owner

Incorrect
If the definition of “done” for an increment is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must
follow it as a minimum. If “done” for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the Scrum Team must
define a definition of “done” appropriate for the product. If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the development
teams on all of the Scrum Teams must mutually define the definition of “Done.”

Question 87 of 87

87. Question
Category: Scrum Team

Imagine you are a Scrum Master in a small Organization that tries to adopt Scrum. There are 10 developers and the Product Owner. How can they be
divided into teams? Choose all applicable options:

2 teams of 6 and 4 people (because it is good to have a separate QA team)

3 teams of 4, 3 and 3 people (each team is cross-functional)

2 teams of 6 and 4 people (after a short meeting the developers decided this is the best option)

1 team of 10 people (because there is no reason to divide)

Incorrect
Number of people in a Development Team should be between 3 and 9. Each team should be cross-functional and self-organized.

Optimal Development Team size is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work within a Sprint. Fewer than three
Development Team members decrease interaction and results in smaller productivity gains. Having more than nine members requires too much
coordination. The Product Owner and Scrum Master roles are not included in this count unless they are also executing the work of the Sprint Backlog.

How does an organization know that a product built through Scrum is successful?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) By measuring that velocity has increased since the last release

B) By releasing often, and updating key performance indicators (KPIs) on value after every
release and feeding this information back into work on the Product Backlog

C) By measuring the actual time spent on development versus the time estimated for
development

D) By the Product Owner and stakeholders accepting the Increment at the Sprint Review

Feedback
Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback. If a product
isn't released, the opportunity to capture user and market feedback is lost.

Question 3 of 15

True or False: A first Sprint can start before the Product Owner has a complete and exhaustive
Product Backlog in place.

Correct answer: A)
You chose: B)

A) True

B) False

Feedback
A first Sprint requires no more than a Product Owner, a team, and enough ideas to potentially complete a full
Sprint.

Question 4 of 15

True or False: The Sprint Review is the only time at which stakeholder feedback is taken into
account.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: A)
https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 2/8
5.9.2019 Finished.

A) True

B) False

Feedback
A Product Owner engages actively and regularly with stakeholders. However, to limit the disturbance to the
development progress and keep focus high, the stakeholders have a formal role in the process at the Sprint
Review only.

Question 5 of 15

To what extent does technical debt limit the value a Product Owner can get from a product?

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: A) D)
You chose: A) D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Technical debt causes a greater percentage of the product's budget to be spent on


maintenance of the product.
B) Technical debt is not a Product Owner concern, because technical debt is only an issue for
the Development Team.
C) Technical debt does not influence the delivery of value.
D) The velocity at which new functionality can be created is reduced when you have technical
debt.

Question 6 of 15

It is mandatory for the Product Owner to monitor and share progress of the Product Backlog by
using which method?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: D)
You chose: A)

A) A Product or Release burn-down chart

B) A Value burn-up chart

Various practices upon trending have been used to forecast progress, like burn-downs, burn-ups, or cumulative
flows. These have proven useful, but none are mandatory and care should be taken because none can replace
the importance of empiricism. What will happen is unknown, no matter what has happened.

Question 7 of 15

What two things should be done if the Product Owner is unavailable?

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: A) C)
You chose: A) C)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Within the Sprint, the Development Team makes the best decisions possible to assure
progress toward the Sprint Goal, re-aligning with the Product Owner once he/she is
available again.
B) There should be a Product Owner team to allow a different person from that team to
instantly take over the role of Product Owner.
C) In a permanent state of unavailability, a new Product Owner needs to be appointed.
Development efforts without a Product Owner are not employing Scrum.
D) Development of functional requirements stops until the Product Owner is available again.

Feedback
The Scrum framework consists of Scrum Teams and their associated roles, events, artifacts, and rules. Each
component within the framework serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and usage. The
Scrum Team consists of a Product Owner, the Development Team, and a Scrum Master. The Product Owner is
responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Development Team. In the absence of a
Product Owner, the latter accountability is not performed.

Question 9 of 15

How important is it for a Product Owner to order Product Backlog items by value points?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Using value points is the ultimate way for a Product Owner to predict the value that the
product will provide.

B) It is a good practice, keeping in mind that market reception is the best measure of value.

C) Calculating value points is an upfront approach that conflicts with the empiricism of Scrum,
and is therefore not acceptable.

Feedback
Indications of value on Product Backlog are useful but are only a prediction until validated against users and
market.

Question 10 of 15

What two things best help the Product Owner manage the value of a product?

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: C) D)
You chose: C) D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Setting value on individual Product Backlog items using Value Poker


B) Devising a formula for a neutral calculation of value
C) The order of the Product Backlog
D) Validating assumptions of value through frequent releases

Question 11 of 15

Who creates the definition of "Done"?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the
development organization)

B) The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all
members' definitions

C) The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product's success

D) The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team's productivity

Feedback
If the definition of "done" is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all
Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. The Development Team of the Scrum Team can complement it with
elements specific for the product or context.
If "done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the
Scrum Team must define a definition of "done" appropriate for the product.

Question 12 of 15

What pre-conditions must be fulfilled in order to allow Sprint Planning to begin?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: F)
You chose: E)

A) A fully refined Product Backlog

B) Formal budget approval to conduct another Sprint

C) A clear and non-negotiable Sprint Goal

D) A clear but negotiable business objective for the Sprint

E) Enough "Ready" Product Backlog to fill the Sprint

F) There are no such pre-conditions

Sprint Planning serves to plan the work to be performed in the Sprint. This plan is created by the collaborative
work of the entire Scrum Team. Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month
Sprint. What can be achieved in this time-box may be influenced by additional practices that are however not
prescribed by Scrum.

Question 13 of 15

How can a Product Owner use time-boxed Sprints to obtain feedback from users and the market?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Through the assurance that a Development Team finishes all work on the Sprint Backlog.

B) Through frequent delivery of Increments of the product into the market.

C) By making sure a Sprint does not stop until all testing is done, and the work is verified by the
Product Owner.

D) At the end of each Sprint, a detailed report with all test cases and test results is available.

E) A business analyst represents the Product Owner to make decisions on his behalf during
the Sprint. This way the Product Owner can accept the work at the Sprint Review without
further involvement.

Feedback
The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be generated. This
assumption remains invalidated when not checked against users and market. When a Sprint's horizon is too
long, you increase the risk that what is being developed may no longer be desired. Sprints limit risk to one
calendar month or less of work.

Question 14 of 15

When can the Product Backlog be updated?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: D)
You chose: D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Only after a Sprint Review if agreed to by the stakeholders

B) Only during Product Backlog refinement sessions if the Product Owner is present

C) Never, unless agreed to by the change request

D) At any time when done by the Product Owner or at the Product Owner's discretion

https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 7/8

Feedback
The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs in order to be
appropriate, competitive, and useful. Product Backlog items can be updated at any time by the Product Owner or
at the Product Owner's discretion.

Question 15 of 15

The Product Owner manages the Product Backlog. Who is accountable for estimating the effort to
complete the Product Backlog items?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) The Development Team. As a collective, they have a complete view of the work needed to
transform Product Backlog items into Increments of product.

B) The PMO. They have all the history on projects delivered, and this enables the IT
department to make delivery commitments.

C) The Product Owner. The Product Owner is required to commit on delivery to the users and
the stakeholders.

Feedback
The Development Team is responsible for all estimates. The people who will perform the work make the final
estimate.

Question 2 of 15

Who creates the definition of "Done"?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the
development organization)

B) The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all
members' definitions

C) The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product's success

D) The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team's productivity

Feedback
If the definition of "done" is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all
Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. The Development Team of the Scrum Team can complement it with
elements specific for the product or context.
If "done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the
Scrum Team must define a definition of "done" appropriate for the product.

Question 3 of 15

True or False: The Scrum Team should choose at least one high priority process improvement,
identified during the Sprint Retrospective, and place it in the Product Backlog.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)

A) True

B) False

Feedback
False, to ensure continuous improvement, the Sprint Backlog rather than the Product Backlog includes at least
one high priority process improvement identified in the previous Sprint Retrospective meeting.

Question 4 of 15

https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 2/8
5.9.2019 Finished.

In order to make investment decisions, the Product Owner is likely to look at the Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) of the product being built. What costs will a Product Owner take into account?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: C)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) The money spent on development of the product, often a fixed cost per Sprint multiplied by
the Sprints required

B) All investments required to conceive, develop, operate and maintain the product

C) The accumulated cost over the earned value of the product

Feedback
The owner of a product is not only accountable for development and release of a product, but also the cost of
maintaining and operating the product. If a person 'owns' the product, he/she can be expected to be responsible
for the complete lifecycle of a product.

Question 5 of 15

Learning turns into 'validated learning' when assumptions and goals can be assessed through
results. What is a key way for a Product Owner to apply validated learning?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Release an Increment to the market to learn about the business assumptions built into the
product.

B) Accept an Increment at the Sprint review to learn about the forecast of functionality that was
developed.

C) Set the Sprint Goal before selecting Product Backlog items at Sprint Planning to learn about
a Development Team's productivity.

Feedback
The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be generated. This
assumption remains invalidated when not checked against users and market.

Question 6 of 15

What two phrases best describe the relationship of the Product Owner and the Development Team?

https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 3/8
5.9.2019 Finished.

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: B) D)
You chose: B) D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

understanding of the technology being used.
D) They collaborate often so the Development Team builds Increments keeping end-user and
stakeholder concerns in mind.
E) They should share no more than the Sprint Planning and the Sprint Review meeting.

Feedback
The Product owner clearly expresses Product Backlog items, ensuring the Development Team understands
items in the Product Backlog to the level needed for developing them and creating the value the Product Owner
envisions. Scope may be re-negotiated if the effort grows much higher than anticipated.

Question 7 of 15

What pre-conditions must be fulfilled in order to allow Sprint Planning to begin?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: F)
You chose: F)

A) A fully refined Product Backlog

B) Formal budget approval to conduct another Sprint

C) A clear and non-negotiable Sprint Goal

D) A clear but negotiable business objective for the Sprint

E) Enough "Ready" Product Backlog to fill the Sprint

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: A) D)
You chose: A) D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Technical debt causes a greater percentage of the product's budget to be spent on


maintenance of the product.
B) Technical debt is not a Product Owner concern, because technical debt is only an issue for
the Development Team.
C) Technical debt does not influence the delivery of value.
D) The velocity at which new functionality can be created is reduced when you have technical
debt.

Question 9 of 15

The process of regular inspection and adaptation employs knowledgeable and skilled inspectors.
What are two ways in which the Product Owner takes the lead in the inspection process?

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: A) D)
You chose: C) D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) At the Sprint Review the Product Owner shares the current state of Product Backlog, which,
combined with the inspection of the Increment, leads to an updated Product Backlog.
B) At the Daily Scrum the Product Owner inspects the Sprint burn-down for progress towards a
complete Increment and re-planning the team's work.
C) At the end of Sprint Planning the Product Owner verifies the Sprint Backlog for
completeness in order to allow the Sprint to start.
D) The Product Owner invites stakeholders to the Sprint Review to learn how the current state
of the marketplace influences what is the most valuable thing to do next.

Feedback
Scrum users must frequently inspect Scrum artifacts and progress to detect undesirable variances. The primary
tool for the Product Owner to uphold transparency is the Product Backlog. Product Backlog is a living artifact that
is actively maintained and updated to reflect reality. At the Sprint Review, attendees collaborate on the next
things that could be done to optimize value, which is processed into an updated Product Backlog.

Question 10 of 15

When can the Product Backlog be updated?

https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 5/8
5.9.2019 Finished.

(choose the best answer)

collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items.

Question 12 of 15

How does an organization know that a product built through Scrum is successful?

(choose the best answer)

https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 6/8
5.9.2019 Finished.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) By measuring that velocity has increased since the last release

B) By releasing often, and updating key performance indicators (KPIs) on value after every
release and feeding this information back into work on the Product Backlog

C) By measuring the actual time spent on development versus the time estimated for
development

D) By the Product Owner and stakeholders accepting the Increment at the Sprint Review

Feedback
Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback. If a product
isn't released, the opportunity to capture user and market feedback is lost.

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Using value points is the ultimate way for a Product Owner to predict the value that the
product will provide.

B) It is a good practice, keeping in mind that market reception is the best measure of value.

C) Calculating value points is an upfront approach that conflicts with the empiricism of Scrum,
and is therefore not acceptable.

How can a Product Owner use time-boxed Sprints to obtain feedback from users and the market?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Through the assurance that a Development Team finishes all work on the Sprint Backlog.

B) Through frequent delivery of Increments of the product into the market.

C) By making sure a Sprint does not stop until all testing is done, and the work is verified by the
Product Owner.

D) At the end of each Sprint, a detailed report with all test cases and test results is available.

E) A business analyst represents the Product Owner to make decisions on his behalf during
the Sprint. This way the Product Owner can accept the work at the Sprint Review without
further involvement.

Feedback
The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be generated. This
assumption remains invalidated when not checked against users and market. When a Sprint's horizon is too
long, you increase the risk that what is being developed may no longer be desired. Sprints limit risk to one

What two phrases best describe the relationship of the Product Owner and the Development Team?

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: B) D)
You chose: B) D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) They should work apart as much as possible in order to keep the concerns of business and
technology separated.
B) They collaborate often so the Product Owner can make informed decisions in balancing
effort and value of Product Backlog items.
C) The Product Owner should be with the Development Team full-time to grow a deep
understanding of the technology being used.
D) They collaborate often so the Development Team builds Increments keeping end-user and
stakeholder concerns in mind.
E) They should share no more than the Sprint Planning and the Sprint Review meeting.

Feedback
The Product owner clearly expresses Product Backlog items, ensuring the Development Team understands
items in the Product Backlog to the level needed for developing them and creating the value the Product Owner
envisions. Scope may be re-negotiated if the effort grows much higher than anticipated.

Question 9 of 15

To what extent does technical debt limit the value a Product Owner can get from a product?

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: A) D)
You chose: A) D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Technical debt causes a greater percentage of the product's budget to be spent on


maintenance of the product.
B) Technical debt is not a Product Owner concern, because technical debt is only an issue for
the Development Team.
C) Technical debt does not influence the delivery of value.
D) The velocity at which new functionality can be created is reduced when you have technical
debt.

5.9.2019 Finished.

In order to make investment decisions, the Product Owner is likely to look at the Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) of the product being built. What costs will a Product Owner take into account?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) The money spent on development of the product, often a fixed cost per Sprint multiplied by
the Sprints required

B) All investments required to conceive, develop, operate and maintain the product

C) The accumulated cost over the earned value of the product

Feedback
The owner of a product is not only accountable for development and release of a product, but also the cost of
maintaining and operating the product. If a person 'owns' the product, he/she can be expected to be responsible
for the complete lifecycle of a product.

Question 11 of 15

The Product Owner's authority to change and update the Product Backlog is unlimited, except for:

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Decisions by the CFO, the CEO or the board of directors.

B) Nothing. The entire organization must respect a Product Owner's decisions.

C) Decisions by the chief program manager.

D) Technical and architectural work that needs to be done first, as indicated by the chief
enterprise architect.

E) High impact changes that have not been approved by the change request board.

F) Work for which impediments exist that the Scrum Master still needs to resolve.

Feedback
For the Product Owner to succeed, the entire organization must respect his or her decisions. No one is allowed
to tell the Development Team to work from a different set of requirements, and the Development Team isn't
allowed to act on what anyone else says.

Question 12 of 15

True or False: The Scrum Team should choose at least one high priority process improvement,
identified during the Sprint Retrospective, and place it in the Product Backlog.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)

A) True

B) False

Feedback
False, to ensure continuous improvement, the Sprint Backlog rather than the Product Backlog includes at least
one high priority process improvement identified in the previous Sprint Retrospective meeting.

Question 13 of 15

What pre-conditions must be fulfilled in order to allow Sprint Planning to begin?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: F)
You chose: F)

A) A fully refined Product Backlog

B) Formal budget approval to conduct another Sprint

C) A clear and non-negotiable Sprint Goal

D) A clear but negotiable business objective for the Sprint

E) Enough "Ready" Product Backlog to fill the Sprint

F) There are no such pre-conditions

Feedback
Sprint Planning serves to plan the work to be performed in the Sprint. This plan is created by the collaborative
work of the entire Scrum Team. Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month
Sprint. What can be achieved in this time-box may be influenced by additional practices that are however not
prescribed by Scrum.

Question 14 of 15

Who creates the definition of "Done"?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)

https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 7/8
5.9.2019 Finished.

Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the
development organization)

B) The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all
members' definitions

C) The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product's success

D) The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team's productivity

Feedback
If the definition of "done" is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all
Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. The Development Team of the Scrum Team can complement it with
elements specific for the product or context.
If "done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the
Scrum Team must define a definition of "done" appropriate for the product.

Question 15 of 15

Must the Product Owner be present at the Sprint Retrospective?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) It is optional. Attendance is only required when the Product Owner gets invited by the Scrum
Master.

B) It is mandatory. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to assess its
performance and improve itself.

C) It is not allowed. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Development Team to
inspect itself.

Feedback
The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for
improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint.

(choose the best two answers)

Correct answer: C) E)
You chose: C) E)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Attend every Daily Scrum to answer functional questions on the discussed Sprint Backlog
items.
B) Update the work plan for the Development Team on a daily basis.
C) Work with the Development Team on Product Backlog refinement.

The Product Owner represents the stakeholders to the Scrum Team. This typically requires active interaction in
order to be able to represent stakeholders and their needs.
Product Backlog refinement is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the Development Team
collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items.

Question 2 of 15

How can a Product Owner use time-boxed Sprints to obtain feedback from users and the market?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Through the assurance that a Development Team finishes all work on the Sprint Backlog.

B) Through frequent delivery of Increments of the product into the market.

C) By making sure a Sprint does not stop until all testing is done, and the work is verified by the
Product Owner.

D) At the end of each Sprint, a detailed report with all test cases and test results is available.

E) A business analyst represents the Product Owner to make decisions on his behalf during
the Sprint. This way the Product Owner can accept the work at the Sprint Review without
further involvement.

Feedback
The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be generated. This
assumption remains invalidated when not checked against users and market. When a Sprint's horizon is too
long, you increase the risk that what is being developed may no longer be desired. Sprints limit risk to one
calendar month or less of work.

Question 3 of 15

How does an organization know that a product built through Scrum is successful?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) By measuring that velocity has increased since the last release

B) By releasing often, and updating key performance indicators (KPIs) on value after every
release and feeding this information back into work on the Product Backlog

C) By measuring the actual time spent on development versus the time estimated for
development

https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/results/ 2/8
5.9.2019 Finished.

D) By the Product Owner and stakeholders accepting the Increment at the Sprint Review

Feedback
Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback. If a product
isn't released, the opportunity to capture user and market feedback is lost.

Question 4 of 15

Learning turns into 'validated learning' when assumptions and goals can be assessed through
results. What is a key way for a Product Owner to apply validated learning?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Release an Increment to the market to learn about the business assumptions built into the
product.

B) Accept an Increment at the Sprint review to learn about the forecast of functionality that was
developed.

C) Set the Sprint Goal before selecting Product Backlog items at Sprint Planning to learn about
a Development Team's productivity.

Feedback
The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be generated. This
assumption remains invalidated when not checked against users and market.

Question 6 of 15

How important is it for a Product Owner to order Product Backlog items by value points?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Using value points is the ultimate way for a Product Owner to predict the value that the
product will provide.

B) It is a good practice, keeping in mind that market reception is the best measure of value.

C) Calculating value points is an upfront approach that conflicts with the empiricism of Scrum,
and is therefore not acceptable.

Feedback
Indications of value on Product Backlog are useful but are only a prediction until validated against users and
market.

Question 7 of 15

A Product Owner is entitled to postpone the start of a new Sprint after the conclusion of a previous
Sprint for the following reason:

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: C)
You chose: C)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Not enough Product Backlog items are "Ready".

B) The Product Owner has not identified a Sprint Goal.

C) There is no acceptable reason. A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the

Question 8 of 15

What is a Product Backlog?

(choose the best answer)

Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) It is a living artifact of product requirements that exists and evolves as long as a product
exists.

B) It is a formally approved list of requirements to be implemented over a set period.

C) It is a detailed list of functionality from which the Development Team draws items, to be
complemented by a separate Technology Backlog managed by the Development Team.

D) It is a list of references to Use Case documents that are stored in a central repository. The
references should be viewable and clickable by anybody to enhance transparency.

Feedback
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product and is the single source
of requirements for any changes to be made to the product. The Product Backlog evolves as the product and the
environment in which it will be used evolves. Higher ordered Product Backlog items are usually clearer and more
detailed than lower ordered ones. As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.

B) Devising a formula for a neutral calculation of value
C) The order of the Product Backlog
D) Validating assumptions of value through frequent releases

Feedback
The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be generated. Indications
of value on Product Backlog are useful but are only a prediction until validated against users and market.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)

A) True

B) False

Feedback
A traditional project manager is responsible for all aspects of a project; costs, resources, execution, release,
planning, capacity. Scrum is a framework for complex product development, regardless of whether the work is
organized in projects. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work
performed, a responsibility that is complemented by the specific accountabilities of the Development Team and
the Scrum Master.
