What is the benefit of using value points in ordering the Product Backlog? -
correct answers : - Value points are relative units for the value assigned to the
Product Backlog items.
- It increases transparency when applied correctly.
The Product Owner "owns" the Product Backlog. - correct answers : True. The
Product Owner is the sole responsible person, and they even "own" the Product
Backlog. There are multiple implications by saying that the Product Owner "owns"
the Product Backlog or is the sole responsible person. Only they can add items to
the backlog or decompose them into smaller items, reorder them. While this is
done by input from the customers and developers, and even the Product Owner
can delegate this responsibility to the developers.
What's the most important metric for a Product Owner to measure, in order to
make the progress of the project clear? - correct answers : The forecast
completion date. That's also the most important thing that should be
communicated to the customer. Traditional criteria such as lines of code or manhours spent on the project
are not good measures of performance. The velocity
can be a guide in forecasting the completion date, but is not enough, and is not
the main reporting item.
When should the Product Owner update the project plan? - correct answers
:From the Scrum Guide: The PO is ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible,
transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the Scrum Team will work on next.
The Product Owner is the Lead Facilitator of Key Stakeholder Involvement. The PO
is responsible for identifying the key stakeholders for the product and involving
them as necessary throughout the development effort.

Who decides the duration of the Sprint? - correct answers : Scrum team. The
"right" duration of Sprint should balance the Product Owner's appetite for
receiving increments of value, with the ability of the Development Team to supply
those deliverables. The Scrum Master may have some coaching duties to perform
in that regard. So, the Scrum Master is maybe the most important team member
who decides the duration of Sprint but we do not agree that the Scrum Master is
the only one who decides this duration.
A Product Owner is essentially the same thing as a traditional Project Manager?
A)True
B)False - correct answers : Correct Answer: 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.
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?

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.
The Development Team finds out during the Sprint that they aren't likely to build

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?
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. - correct answers : Correct
answer: A) Release an Increment to the market to learn about the business
assumptions built into the product.
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.

product
C) The accumulated cost over the earned value of the product - correct answers
:Everyday
Feedback: At any point in time in a Sprint, the total work remaining in the Sprint
Backlog can be summed. The Development Team tracks this total work remaining
at least for every Daily Scrum to project the likelihood of achieving the Sprint
Goal. By tracking the remaining work throughout the Sprint, the Development
Team can manage its progress.
Choose 3 activities which may be the responsibilities of the Product Owner:

- Create user stories
- Prioritize backlog
- Design software
- Facilitate meetings
- Provide estimates
- Make technical decisions - correct answers : Break down epic user stories into
smaller ones
Create user stories
Prioritize backlog
Feedback: Designing the software is part of the development and should be done
by the developers. They are self-organized and make technical decisions, and
volunteer for tasks (assign them to themselves). Estimation is the responsibility of
the developers because they are the people who will develop the item. The rest is
done by the Product Owner.

Backlog. - correct answers : TRUE
Feedback: The Product Owner is the sole responsible person, and they even
"own" the Product Backlog.Note: remember that the Sprint Backlog is owned by
the Development Team.This is not however in contrast to the fact that the Product
Backlog items are estimated by the developers; they provide this information to
the Product Owner to be included in the Product Backlog.There are multiple
implications by saying that the Product Owner "owns" the Product Backlog or is
the sole responsible person, including: Only they can add items to the backlog or
decompose them into smaller items; while this is done by input from the
customers and developers, and even the Product Owner can delegate this
responsibility to the developers.Only they can decide on the order of the items on
the Product Backlog, while this is usually based on the input from customers and
developers.

Who creates the Sprint Goal? - correct answers : The Scrum Team
What best describes the relationship between the Product Owner and the
stakeholders? - correct answers : The product owner actively asks for stakeholder
input and expectations to process into the Product Backlog
Feedback: All items are less or more applicable, but remember that the main
responsibility of the Product Owner is to maximize value, and "working with
stakeholders to identify the most important requirements" is the closest answer
to "increasing value".
How should the Product Owner forecast the completion date? - correct answers
:Train the PO why it's important for her/him to spend enough time on the project
What should happen to the "Done" Product Backlog items when the Sprint is
cancelled? - correct answers : They will be reviewd, and if they are potentially
releaseable, the PO typically accepts them
Feedback: When a Sprint is cancelled, any completed and "Done" Product Backlog
items are reviewed. If part of the work is potentially releasable, the Product
Owner typically accepts it. All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated
and put back on the Product Backlog. The work done on them depreciates quickly
and must be frequently re-estimated.

3. Team Velocity
4. Unit Test Results - correct answers : 1. Customer Feedback
2. Product Vision
Feedback: The product vision (while is not mandatory in Scrum) describes the
purpose of the solution. How features serve the purpose affects their value.
The customer and end user feedback is important for value as well.
Velocity is not directly connected to value, and the results of unit tests is a
technical matter that developers need to pay attention to.
A company has three products. Which two of the following are acceptable ways of
forming Scrum teams?
1. There can be one PO for each product
2. There can be one single PO for all products - correct answers : 1. There can be

-ability of employees to generate revenues
- likelihood of the employees to continue creating value
- likelihood of the customer to continue generating revenues there are other
measurements that could have been used.
However, most either was later reflected in these measures, or they were
circumstantial, explained in a number of indirect ways. Time to market consists of
direct evidence of the software organization's ability to bring new features,
functions, and products to the customers. Productivity was excluded, as speed is
only one component of time to market; lean, focused functionality comes to
market quicker than overburdened functionality developed with higher
productivity. Much of the software in the marketplace is encumbered. Despite
being able to get it to the market rapidly, the customers may not want to
implement it. They may have found that it was too hard to implement the last
release, that much of the functionality was irrelevant to their needs, and that the
overall product was flawed with unneeded functionality as well as hard to use
because of defects. As this occurs to software, more and more of the software
organization's budget is consumed maintaining the product, further reducing the
funds available to innovate.
What does the "cone of uncertainty" tell us about Scrum projects? (Choose two

Sprint's horizon is too long the definition of what is being built may change,
complexity may rise, and risk may increase.
Sprints enable what? - correct answers : Sprints enable predictability by ensuring
inspection and adaptation of progress toward a Sprint Goal at least every calendar
month. Sprints also limit risk to one calendar month of cost.
Cancelling a Sprint: - correct answers : -A Sprint can be cancelled BEFORE the
Sprint time-box is over.
-Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel the Sprint, although he or
she may do so under influence from the stakeholders, the Development Team, or
the Scrum Master.
When would a Sprint be cancelled? - correct answers : A Sprint would be
cancelled if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete.
This might occur if the company changes direction or if market or technology

sense given the circumstances.

duration of Sprints, cancellation rarely makes sense.

are very uncommon.
Scrum relies on what? - correct answers : transparency
Extent of Artifact Transparency - correct answers : -To the extent that
transparency is complete, these decisions have a sound basis.
-To the extent that the artifacts are incompletely transparent, these decisions can

Team.

and adapt at the Daily Scrum.
If the Scrum Master or Product Owner is also on the Development Team, they will
need to be at the Daily Scrum.
Otherwise, the Scrum Master simply has to make sure the Development Team
knows how to conduct a Daily Scrum and does so.
