Question 2 of 30

Which of the following are examples of a Scrum Team practicing Scrum poorly or not exhibiting
traits of a self-managing Scrum Team?

(choose the best three answers)

Correct answer: B. C. F.
You chose: A. B. D.

This question displayed answers in random order during the test.

A. The Developers create their own Sprint Backlog, reflecting all work that is required to meet
the Definition of Done.

B. Stakeholders attend the Daily Scrum to check on the Scrum Team’s progress.

C. The Developers are working within the boundaries of their organizations functional
description and nicely handing off work from analyst to developer to tester to integration.

D. The Developers are collaboratively selecting their own work during the Sprint.

E. The Developers have all the skills they need to create a valuable, useful Increment.

F. The Developers invite external stakeholders to the Sprint Planning to ask them how to turn
a Product Backlog item into an Increment via a complete and detailed Sprint Backlog.

Feedback

• The Daily Scrum is for the Developers. It should not be used by external stakeholders to
check progress.
• During Sprint Planning the Scrum Team should be crafting the Sprint Goal based on the set
of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint. The Developers identify the necessary
work to meet the Sprint Goal.
• Scrum Team members do not have titles, and no sub-teams; such as testing, architecture, or
operations are recognized. Accountability belongs with the Scrum Team as a whole,
regardless of whether team members have specialized skills.

Correct answer: D.
You chose: C.

This question displayed answers in random order during the test.

A. The Scrum Team.

B. The Developers and Product Owner.

C. The Developers and Scrum Master.

D. The Developers.

E. The Scrum Master and Product Owner.

Feedback

Only the people doing the work described on the Sprint Backlog need to inspect and adapt at the Daily
Scrum. If the Product Owner or Scrum Master are actively working on items in the Sprint Backlog, they
participate as Developers, they will need to be at the Daily Scrum.

Question 4 of 30

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

Correct answer: B.
You chose: A.

A. True

B. False

Feedback

An earlier version of the Scrum Guide prescribed the practice of placing one improvement in the Sprint
Backlog. This was removed in the 2020 update to the Scrum Guide because it was felt to be too
prescriptive. However, if this practice provides value to you then you should adopt it. It is simply not
prescribed anymore, but can still be valuable.

D. Inform the other members of the Scrum Team so the team can decide what to do.

the Scrum Team can force changes on the Developers.

makes it difficult for the Developers to determine what they should work on.

B. Planning, Inspection, Adaptation.

C. Respect For People, Kaizen, Eliminating Waste.

D. Planning, Demonstration, Retrospective.

Sprint Backlog is updated by the Developers throughout the Sprint as more is learned.
