1. The Product Backlog item is "Done.

" What does it mean

in Scrum? (Select all correct answers)
Choose ALL answers that apply.

A The item is ready for UAT

B The item creates software that is usable by the end-user
C All tasks identified for the item are done.
D The item can be a part of a potentially releasable piece of software.
E No work left based on the Definition of Done.

Items are "Done" when they are entirely based on the definition of "Done." In that case, they
would have the potential to create a releasable/shippable Increment that the end-user uses.
Tests are also part of the work, and items are not "Done" before the tests are complete,
even the user acceptance tests. Quality requirements are part of the work but not all of it
(e.g. non- functional features and development processes are also part of the work). We
cannot trust the identified tasks because we might have missed some tasks, and the sum of
them does not conform to the definition of "Done."

2. A Sprint Goal is created during the Sprint Planning. The Sprint Goal should .....
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A be tangible
B be short
C be measurable
D be concise
E explain the when topic of the Sprint Planning
F explain the why topic of the Sprint Planning

A discussion about the potential Sprint Goal happens during Sprint Planning Topic One: Why
is this Sprint valuable? The Scrum Team must finalize the Sprint Goal before the end of Sprint
Planning. It should be tangible, measurable, and concise, but most importantly, it should
explain the why. The Sprint Goal resides in the Sprint Backlog alongside the selected Product
Backlog Items and the plan to deliver the Sprint Goal. Sprint Goals should help the Scrum
Team to navigate toward the Product Goal.

3. … are Scrum values

Choose only ONE best answer.
A Commitment, agility, adaptation, openness and complexity
B Transparency, inspection, adaptation
C Commitment, courage, focus, openness and respect
D Iteration, velocity, inspection, agility

When the values of commitment, courage, focus, openness and respect are embodied and
lived by the Scrum Team, the Scrum pillars of transparency inspection and adaptation come
to life and build trust for everyone.

4. Select all correct answers. Which of the following is a

prioritization technique?
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Kano analysis
B Product Backlog ordering
C Planning Poker
D User Story Mapping

Planning poker, also called Scrum poker, is a consensus-based gamified technique for
estimating mainly used to estimate the effort or relative size of development goals in
software development. In planning poker, members of the group make estimates by placing
numbered cards face-down on the table instead of saying them aloud. The cards are
revealed, and the estimates are then discussed. By hiding the figures in this way, the group
can avoid the cognitive bias of anchoring, where the first number spoken aloud sets a
precedent for subsequent estimates. Planning Poker is not a prioritisation technique

5.

There are many types of different requirements. According to this, non-functional or

performance, or even security requirements must be captured in the Definition of Done.
Choose only ONE best answer.
A True
B False

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B'.

It is a good practice, but this is not mandatory. Non-functional features are usually part of
the Definition of Done and should be considered for every Product Backlog item and every
Increment.

6.This (these) member(s) of the Scrum Team determines when it's time to update the Sprint
Backlog during the Sprint.
Choose only ONE best answer.
A The Product Owner
B Developers
C The team leader
D The senior member of the Developers
E The entire Scrum Team
The Sprint Backlog includes the items selected from the Product Backlog and the tasks
created by decomposing the items. Only the tasks are updated during the Sprint, and it's the
Developers' responsibility to do so.

7. From the following answers choose activities that are accountable to Developers
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Make technical decisions
B Create releasable Increments
C Provide estimates
D Breakdown epic stories into smaller ones
E Create user stories and use cases
F Choose the team leader for Developers.

8. The Scrum Master has the authority to allow Developers to start developing without
having the tasks identified and assigned.
Choose only ONE best answer.
A True
B False

"There are two problems with this statement: 1. The Scrum Master doesn't manage people
and cannot forbid team members from doing something and cannot order them to do
certain things. By training and coaching, S/he should always "convince” them to do the right
thing. 2. Developers identify the tasks and assign them gradually throughout the Sprint. We
don't do it upfront at the beginning of the Sprint."

9. The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase .... (select
all correct answers)
The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase quality and effectiveness.

10 . According to the Scrum Guide, Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. What
else is true about Scrum? Select all correct answers
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Scrum is a methodology for managing complex projects.
B Scrum is a traditional process but with Sprints and related artefacts
C Scrum is a framework for developing and maintaining complex products.
D Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control
risk.

The correct answer is 'C', & 'D' .

Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams, and organizations generate
value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. Scrum employs an iterative,
incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. Scrum engages groups of
people who collectively have all the skills and expertise to do the work and share or acquire
such skills as needed.

11. The Scrum Team has just finished the Sprint Planning. According to this, choose all
correct statements from the following answers.
Choose ALL answers that apply.

A After the Sprint Planning, a Sprint cannot proceed without complete requirement
specification.
B After the Sprint Planning, a Sprint cannot proceed without a Sprint Goal.
C After the Sprint Planning, a Sprint can proceed without a complete Sprint Backlog.
D After the Sprint Planning, a Sprint cannot proceed without complete design and BRD or
FSD

The correct answer is 'B', & 'C'.

The Sprint Goal is an objective set for Sprint that can be met by implementing the Product
Backlog. It guides Developers on why they are building the Increment. It is created during
the

completed. But what are the benefits of having tests in the definition of "Done"? Select all
correct answers
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Increments would be closer to being potentially shippable.
B Increased transparency and the quality of the Increments
C Increments would be more complete.
D Reporting would be easier for the project manager.

The correct answer is 'A', 'B', & 'C'.

Developers deliver an Increment of product functionality every Sprint. This Increment is

13. The principles of Lean form ......

Choose only ONE best answer.
A frequent reviews of the Scrum artifacts and progress towards the Sprint Goal to get early
feedback on undesirable variances
B the levers of a system that people can use to create better products faster, yet in a
sustainable and respectful way
C the customer to constantly re-adjust his requirements

The correct answer is 'B'.

The principles of Lean form the levers of a system that people can use to create better
products faster yet sustainably and respectfully. It's a system that rewards people for doing
the best they can with the means and tools they are given in their actual situation.

14. Who is responsible to determine when a release can occur?

Choose only ONE best answer.
A Developers
B The Scrum Master
C The Product Owner
D Team owner

The correct answer is 'C'.

It is the responsibility only of the Product Owner.

15. The Scrum Team is planning to start the first Sprint. The Product Backlog item is ready
for selection in a Sprint Planning meeting when ......
Choose only ONE best answer.
A It meets the criteria in the definition of Ready.
B It can be Done within one Sprint
C All tasks required for completing it are identified.

The correct answer is 'B'.

Product Backlog items that will occupy Developers for the upcoming Sprint are refined so
that any one item can reasonably be "Done" within the Sprint time-box. Product Backlog
items that can be "Done" by Developers within one Sprint are deemed "Ready" for selection
in a Sprint Planning. Product Backlog items usually acquire this degree of transparency
through the above-described refining activities.

16. Scrum is a container for other techniques and methodologies.

Choose only ONE best answer.
A True
B False
This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'A'.
Scrum is a process framework that has been used to manage work on complex products
since the early 1990s. Scrum is not a process technique or definitive method. Instead, it is a
framework to employ various processes and techniques. Scrum clarifies the relative efficacy
of your product management and work techniques to continuously improve the product, the
team and the working environment.

17. The number of developers has increased from 8 to 15. Now the duration of the Daily
Scrum event is not 15 minutes but more. What's the best response to this problem?
Choose only ONE best answer.
A Divide the developers into two Scrum teams with minimum dependency
B Increase the timebox of Daily Scrums to 20 minutes
C Help the team self-organize and finish the Daily Scrums in 15 minutes.
D Finish the Daily Scrums in 15 minutes and let as many developers talk as possible

The correct answer is 'A'.

The Scrum Team is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant
work within a Sprint, typically 10 or fewer people. If more is needed, it's possible to use
scaled Scrum (more than one team working on the same product)
18. Which of the following are typical works for a Product Owner between the end of the
Sprint Planning and before the Sprint Review?
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Prepare reports for the Scrum Team.
B Measure the Sprint performance
C Assign tasks to developers
D Cooperate with stakeholders
E Refine the Product Backlog with Developers
F Inform CEO about the progress of the product

The correct answer is 'D', & 'E'.

Product Backlog refinement is continuous and can happen anytime. Besides that, the
Product Owner is constantly in contact with the developers to make sure everything is clear.
They are also in connection with the customer to understand their new requirements.

19. The Product Owner can transfer some of his/her accountability to developers.
Choose only ONE best answer.
A True
B False

The Product Owner can delegate his/her responsibilities to Developers, but s/he stays
accountable.

20. The Scrum Team is ready to release a product. From the following answers, choose 2
best of how the product's success may be evaluated.
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A By improving KPIs through frequent releases
B By increasing velocity
C By delivering an Increment every Sprint
D By passing all Sprint Backlog items
E By completing the Product Backlog at the end of the project
F By increasing the satisfaction of the customer

The correct answer is 'A', & 'F'.

Customer and end-user satisfaction is essential. It's not an abstract measure like lines of
code or velocity. There can be some KPIs for measuring the value of the releases, and when
improved will show our success. Increased velocity is desired, but it's not directly connected

21. From the following answers, what are the responsibilities of Developers in Scrum?
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Prioritize the Product Backlog
B Provide Estimates
C Design Software
D Create User Stories
E Make technical decisions
F Order the Product Backlog
The correct answer is 'B', 'C', & 'E' .
Designing the software is part of the development and should be done by the developers.
They are self-managed and make technical decisions. Estimation is the responsibility of the
developers because they are the people who will develop the item. The Product Owner does
the rest.

22. Developers realized that the Sprint Goal became obsolete and tried to convince the
Product Owner that the Sprint should be cancelled. What's the proper response from the
Scrum Master?
Choose only ONE best answer.
A It is OK
B The Scrum Master should stop this because Developers do not have the authority to
influence Sprint cancellation
C The Scrum Master should be involved in making this decision.
D The Product must cancel the Sprint as it is the decision of the Developers.

The correct answer is 'A'.

Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel a Sprint, and the final decision belongs
to her/him. However, this decision can be influenced by the customer (incl. stakeholders)
or/and developers or/and Scrum Master.

23. At which event must the Product Owner update the Product backlog? Choose only ONE
best answer.
A The PB may be updated anytime.
B The PB is updated after the Sprint Review
C The PB is updated before the Sprint Planning
D There is a special time to update the PB - Product Backlog Refinement

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'A'.

There's no project plan artefact in Scrum. The Product Backlog is a form of planning in Scrum
projects, and it's updated continuously (Product Backlog refinement).

24. In 1 hour, there will be the Sprint Review. The Scrum Team realized they hadn't
completed the Sprint Backlog. What happens to the incomplete Product Backlog items?
Choose only ONE best answer.
A They won't be re-estimated, and they would be moved back to the Product Backlog.
B They would be re-estimated and moved back to the Product Backlog.
C They won't be re-estimated and would be moved to the next Sprint Backlog.

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B'.

The items should be re-estimated because they have been partially done, and it would take
less effort to complete them in the future. Whenever an item is not done during the Sprint
(for cancellation or reaching the end of the timebox), it would be moved back to the Product
Backlog rather than the next Sprint Backlog. This is so because the Product Owner might
reorder them, and they won't be on the top of the Product Backlog anymore.
25. What is the purpose of empiricism in Scrum? Choose only ONE best answer.

A To help people perform inspections & adaptations upon the transparency of the work
being undertaken and results being produced.
B To help discover a way of working that is continuously adaptable to everybody's actual
context and current circumstances.
C To adjust, adapt, change and gain flexibility.

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'A'.

Empiricism via Scrum aims to help people perform inspections & adaptations upon the
transparency of the work being undertaken and results being produced. Scrum foresees
frequent reality checks to assure the best possible decisions. Scrum helps to adjust, adapt,
change and gain flexibility. The framework's rules, principles, and values, as described in the
Scrum Guide [Schwaber & Sutherland, 2017], serve this purpose.

26. …is the most valuable metric for a Product Owner to measure the progress of the
product. Choose only ONE best answer.

A The lines of code created.

B The forecasted completion date
C The velocity

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B'.

The most important thing to calculate is the completion date of the project. That's also the
essential thing that should be communicated to the customer. Traditional criteria such as
lines of code or man-hours spent on the project are not suitable performance measures. The
velocity can guide forecasting the completion date but is not enough and is not the main
reporting item.

27. Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint. Choose only ONE best answer.
A False
B True
This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B'.
While the Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint Backlog stay the same, the tasks
created by decomposing them always change and emerge during the Sprint.

28. From the following answers, choose the best. Which of the following best describes
transparency? Choose only ONE best answer.
A The process should be visible to key stakeholders or senior management.
B The whole process should be visible to everyone.
C Significant aspects of the process must be visible to those responsible for the outcome.
D The whole process should be visible to stakeholders.

The correct answer is 'C'.

Transparency is about visibility and doesn't contain understanding; even though we'd better
try our best to create the right understanding, that's another story. The whole process might
be too much for some stakeholders; significant aspects are enough as we treat most things
in Agile environments.

29. From the following list of answers, choose one which less likely to be used by a Scrum
Team. Choose only ONE best answer.
A Big screen planning poker cards
B WBS Gantt Chart
C Scrum board
D Velocity

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B'.

WBS and Gantt Chart are used in traditional projects because they are focused on an upfront
understanding of the scope of the project. The scope of Agile projects evolves during the
project.

30. Which of the following is true about the Sprint Review according to the Scrum Guide?
(select all correct answers) Choose ALL answers that apply.
A It is a maximum of 4 hours in one month Sprint
B The Scrum Master organises this event
C The Scrum Master demonstrates the presentation
D Stakeholders should attend
E The Product Owner doesn't need to attend

The correct answer is 'A', & 'D' .

A Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the
Product Backlog if needed. During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders
collaborate on what was done in the Sprint. Based on that and any changes to the Product
Backlog during the Sprint attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done in
order to optimize value. This is an informal meeting not a status meeting and the
presentation of the Increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration.

31. As we know from the Scrum Guide Scrum Teams are self-managing and cross-functional.
Self-managing Scrum teams are characterised by their ability to ...
Choose only ONE best answer.
A Make project-based decisions
B Make local decisions
C Sit where they like

The correct answer is 'B'.

Scrum Teams are focused on creating Increments during Sprints and are self-managing to
find out how best to accomplish it. The Product Owner and other stakeholders make Higher-
level decisions for the project.

32. Developers decided to add mandatory testing for DoD. What are the benefits of it?
(Select all correct answers) Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Increments would be closer to being potentially shippable
B Increased transparency of the Increments
C Increments would be more complete
D Reporting would be more comfortable for the project manager

The correct answer is 'A', 'B', & 'C'.

Items are not done unless we have tested them, so tests should be included in the definition
of "Done." In this case, the Increments will be closer to what we can practically call
"complete," "done," "potentially releasable," or "potentially shippable"; to something
useable for the users

33. During the Sprint...... (select all answers that apply) Choose ALL answers that apply.
A The scope may be clarified as more is learned.
B Some Sprint Backlog items will be replaced with items from the Product Backlog if the
Sprint goal has been changed.
C The scope may be re-negotiated as more is learned.
D Some Sprint Backlog items would be removed from the Sprint Backlog to the Product
Backlog after the Product Owner confirmation.

The correct answer is 'A', & 'C'.

During the Sprint, as more is learned, the scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between
the Product Owner and Developers. This is mainly focused on interpreting the Product
Backlog items and the tasks created by decomposing them.

34. One of the internal stakeholders wants to interact with Developers. What are the best
ways to make it? Select all that apply
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A At the Sprint Planning
B Via the Product Owner
C At the Sprint Review
D At the Daily Scrums
E At the Sprint Retrospective

The correct answer is 'B', & 'C'.

Direct interactions with the customer are limited to the Sprint Review or the Product Owner.
However, this doesn't mean that it is prohibited to meet with stakeholders in other (non-
Scrum) events such as Backlog Refinement, etc.

35. Ordering the Product Backlog item is part of the Product Backlog refinement. Choose
only ONE best answer.
A True
B False

The correct answer is 'A'.

Higher ordered Product Backlog items are usually more precise and more detailed than
lower ordered ones. More precise estimates are made based on greater clarity and
increased detail; the lower the order, the more minor detail. Product Backlog items that will
occupy Developers for the upcoming Sprint are refined so that any one item can reasonably
be Done within the Sprint time-box. Product Backlog items usually acquire this degree of
transparency through the above-described refining activities. Product Backlog items that
Developers can do within one Sprint are deemed Ready for selection in Sprint Planning.

36. The Sprint Retrospective is one of the events in Scrum. Which of the following two items
are not topics of discussion within a Sprint Retrospective?
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint
B Team relations
C Process improvements
D The functionality implemented as a result of the Sprint
E Definition of done

The correct answer is 'A', & 'D'.

Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint and the functionality implemented as a result of the Sprint
are not a part of the Sprint Retrospective topic.

37. When should the Product Backlog items be refined? (Select all correct answers)
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A In the Sprint 0
B During the current Sprint, if they have not been refined in the previous Sprints.
C In one or two preceding Sprints
D In the time between the two Sprints

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B', & 'C'.

Product Backlog refinement is a continuous activity. When an item is at the top of the
backlog, which means it will be developed in the near future, more refinements are usually
needed to make sure it is clear and contains just enough details (not all possible details). It's
preferable to have the items selected in the Sprint Backlog completely refined before Sprint
Planning; however, it's OK to have more refinement done during the development.
Remember that there's no such thing as Sprint 0, and there's no time between two Sprints
that can be spent on refinement. The team is also cross-functional and does the a-z of the
work needed for each item, including refinement; they don't use people from other parts of
the company.

38. From the following answers, select all that apply. The responsibilities of Developers are
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Pull Product Backlog items for the upcoming Sprint.
B Create new Product Backlog items
C Sizing the items from Product Backlog items
D Create tasks for Sprint Backlog items
E Reorder the Product Backlog

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'A', 'C', & 'D'.
Developers' responsibility is to estimate the amount of work of Product Backlog items and
select an appropriate number of them for each Sprint. They also break down the items into
tasks during the Sprint. Measuring the project performance is the Product Owner's
responsibility, while measuring the Sprint performance is done by the Developers. Creating
new Product Backlog items ordering them (prioritization), and making sure that everyone
has a clear understanding of them is the Product Owner's responsibility.

39. Spikes may be used to learn more about a Product Backlog item before development
commences on that PBI.

a. True
b. False

A spike is learning activity before development begins and sometimes it may be helpful to
learn more about the work to aid refinement.

40. What does “cone of uncertainty” describe?

a. Uncertainty is always equally high.
B. Uncertainty is permanently lowered after requirements are signed off at the beginning of
the project.
C. How much is known about the product over time.
D. Dependencies, start times and stop times for project tasks.

The “cone of uncertainty” shows the uncertainty is highest at the beginning of developing, a
product and reduces as we progress and more work is Done. This uncertainty can take many
dimensions, including duration, work, risks, etc.

50. There are many accountabilities for Developers in Scrum. Some of them are in the
following answers. Choose activities the Developers are always accountable for.

a. Creating a plan for Sprint , the spint backlog.

b. Ordering the product backlog.
c. Instilling quality by adhering to a definition of done.
d. Adapting their plan each day toward the Sprint Goal.
e. Holding each other accountable as professionals.

51. The Scrum Team adapts the DoD at the …

a. Sprint Retrospective
b. Sprint Review
c. Daily Scrum
d. Sprint Planning

During each Sprint Retrospective, The Scrum Team plans ways to increase product
quality by improving work processes or adapting the definition of Done if appropriate
and not in conflict with a product or organization standards.

52. The maximum duration of Sprint may be more than one month.
 a. False
b. True

53. According to the Scrum Guide, to help with inspection, Scrum provides cadence in the
form of its five events. But what should be the frequency of Inspection in Scrum. Select all
that apply:

a. As planned in Sprint Planning.

b. As needed by the Product Owner.
c. In every event within the Sprint.
d. Frequently as decided by the team but not getting in the way of work.

Other than the Sprint itself, which is container for all other events, each event in Scrum is a
formal opportunity to inspect and adapt something. To detect undesirable variances, Scrum
users must frequently inspect Scrum artifacts and progress toward a Sprint Goal. Their
inspection should not be so frequent that inspection gets in the way of the work. Inspections
are most beneficial when diligently performed by skilled inspectors at work.

54. According to the Scrum Guide, empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from
experience and making decisions based on what is observed. Also in Scrum empiricism
provides:

a. Frequent opportunities to get information using which uncertainty can be completely

eliminated.
b. Frequent opportunities to discuss different possibilities.
c. Frequent opportunities to make informed decisions reducing risk.

54.Stakeholders provide feedback in the Sprint Review, and this feedback impacts the next
Sprint Planning event.

a. False
b. True

55. From the following answers, choose the correct one. Which of the following helps PO
avoid waste in the project?

a. The PO has to make all PB items clear.

b. Don’t break down large PB items and let the Developers do so in the Sprint Backlog.
c. Don’t add much detail to the PB items until they move to the top of the backlog.
d. The PO has to remove some inefficient items from the sprint Backlog.
There is no need to spend too much time on the items at the bottom of the PB. They can be
broken down into smaller items and have more details when they move to the top of the PB.

56. The Product Owner may choose to delegate the responsibility of estimating to
Developers or even to the Scrum Master. It is up to the PO.

a. True
 b. False
Estimating is the responsibility of Developers by default. The PO doesn’t have such authority
in the first place to delegate it.

57. As the Sprint Planning meeting progresses , Developers realized there were too many
items in the print Backlog. What are the valid actions? Select all correct answers.

a. Ask Scrum Master to stop Sprint Planning.

b. Work overtime
c. Inform the PO about this and monitor the progress.
d. Remove items from the Sprint Backlog.
e. Ask the PO to remove items from the Sprint Backlog

58. An organization is building different products by using the Scrum Framework. How can
they measure the success of using Scrum?

a. By reducing costs.
b. By increasing customer satisfaction
c. By delivering an increment every sprint
d. Throughout frequent releases and meeting value metrics or KPIs.
e. By improving the velocity.
Customer and end user satisfaction is essential. It s not an abstract measure, as in the case of
lines of code or velocity. There can be some KPIs for measuring the value of the releases, and
when improved will show our success. Increased velocity is desired but it s not directly
connected to value and can be misleading. This is the same as the production cost.

59. From the following answers choose correct about the DoD and Increment. Having a solid
DoD, and creating an Increment that meets it, has the following benefits:
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Transparency of the Increment.
B Transparency of process
C Transparency about where we are and where we are going.
D Transparency about planning a Sprint.
E All answers are incorrect

60.

As we know, the Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. To
reduce complexity, it is held at the same time and place every working day of the Sprint. If
the Product Owner or Scrum Master are actively working on items in the Sprint Backlog, they
participate as Developers. What are the characteristics of effective Daily Scrum?
Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Promotes self-organization and collaboration

C Difficulty
D Flexibility
E Purpose

62. During the Sprint Planning, The PO asked the Scrum Team to postpone the Sprint
Planning as they (the Scrum Team) didn't process all the feedback from the Sprint Review
into the Product Backlog yet. They argue it makes no sense to plan the Sprint if the Product
Backlog isn't in a good state. How should the Scrum Master respond to this case?

We rarely have complete and perfect information in complex environments. Practice the art
of the possible and keep using Scrum and an empirical approach. Adapt and improve as you
go. All work, including refinement, happens inside Sprints. There may be times when high-
value work is not ready/refined enough, and so development work must wait until this is
complete. We should work on other highly ordered work instead or focus on refinement as
the priority.

63. What factors should be considered by the Product Owner in the release decision (select
four)? Choose ALL answers that apply.
A The amount of work remaining toward the Sprint Goal
B The customers that will be constrained by the new release
C Approval of the Key Stakeholders
D The costs and benefits of the upgrade
E Can customers actually absorb the new release?
F Does the Increment meet the Definition of "Done"?
G The risk that the product's value can get out of line with the marketplace

64. As a Product Owner, your focus must always be on getting the product to its next
shippable state-a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Minimum Viable Product is about the
validation of the hypotheses. You need to validate this (these) kind(s) of hypothesis(es)

Team (select all answers that apply)? Choose ALL answers that apply.
A Through Product Backlog Refinement
B Through Daily Scrums
C Through Sprint Reviews
D Through Daily ad hoc interactions
E Through Sprint Retrospectives

66. How can the Product Owner count PCR (Product Cost Ratio)? Choose only ONE best
answer.
A By comparing the total expenses and total costs for the product, except operational costs
compared to revenue.
B By comparing the total expenses and total costs for the product, incl. operational costs
compared to revenue.
C By summarizing all expenses for the product, but not costs

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B'.

PCR is a total expense and costs for the product(s)/system(s) being measured, including
operational costs compared to revenue.

67. Scrum Master is against it and asked the PO not to invite stakeholders to this meeting,
as this event is only for the Scrum Team. Choose only ONE best answer.
A It is the correct decision of the Scrum Master
B it is not correct decision from the Scrum Master

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 'B'.

The PBR is not an official Scrum event. Only the PO decides who should be at this event
because he is accountable for the product's value. If the Scrum Master is against it, at least it
should be discussed at the Sprint Retrospective, but it is ok if the stakeholders should be at
this event. PBR is the act of breaking down and further defining Product Backlog items into
smaller, more precise items. This is an ongoing activity to add details, such as a description,
order, and size.

68.The Scrum Master serves the organization in several ways, including: Choose ALL answers
that apply.
A Leading, training, and coaching the organization in its Scrum adoption
B Planning and advising Scrum implementations within the organization
C Helping employees and stakeholders understand and enact an empirical approach for
complex work
D Removing barriers between stakeholders and Scrum Teams
