What's the role of a PMO (Project Management Office) in an organization that only uses Scrum
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




for project delivery? - ANSWER: ➡ Manages portfolios and programs and facilitates the
g g g g g gg g g g g g g g




application of techniques that complement Scrum.
g g g g g g




Remember that there are limits to the self-management (self-organization) of the team, and
g g g g g g g g g g g g




the important thing is to have the power within the borders of the project. However, each
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




project is run in a wider organization with multiple levels of management impacting the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




project, and it's not possible or even acceptable to reject that structure, as long as it doesn't
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




block the internal self-management of the team and the fundamental adaptive approach of the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




project.
g




True or false? It's fine to have a PMO, as long as it's focused on portfolio management, rather
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




than direct involvement in Scrum projects. - ANSWER: ➡ TRUE
g g g g g g g g gg g




There's no project manager role in Scrum, and it's not allowed to add a new role to the existing
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




three. Also, none of the three Scrum roles are an equivalent of a project manager because
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




project management activities are distributed among all of them. However, the fact that you're
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




using Scrum doesn't mean that there shouldn't be any other roles, titles, and management
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




concepts in the organization! For example, it doesn't mean that you cannot have a CEO in the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




organization. The same goes for some other concepts, such as portfolio management. In
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




general, anything that doesn't disrupt the Scrum mechanisms and stays outside the
g g g g g g g g g g g g




boundaries of the project is OK.

Which TWO statements best describe the Product Backlog? - ANSWER: ➡ * It is never
g g g g g g g g g gg g g g g




baselined.
g




* It may change anytime, and it is never complete.
g g g g g g g g g




Scrum.org interprets "baselining" as fixing something (which is not entirely correct), and
g g g g g g g g g g g




therefore says that nothing should be baselined in Scrum.
g g g g g g g g g

, True or false? The Product Backlog is baselined before the first Sprint - ANSWER: ➡ FALSE
g g g g g g g g g g g g g gg g




"Baseline" has a specific meaning in project management that may apply to some elements in
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




Scrum. However, Scrum.org interprets it as keeping the subject fixed, and therefore, believes
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




that there are no baselines in Scrum. In short, "baseline" is one of those curse words in Scrum!
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




True or false? The Product Owner can also be a Developer. - ANSWER: ➡ TRUE
g g g g g g g g g g g g gg g




It's not recommended, but it's not forbidden either.
g g g g g g g




There's a Scrum project that is supposed to have two releases: one in the middle and the other
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




at the end of the project. Which of the following statements is correct about this project? -
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




ANSWER: ➡ All increments should be releasable.
g gg g g g g g




True or false? The Product Owner can ask the Developers to order the Product Backlog items
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




instead of them. - ANSWER: ➡ TRUE
g g g g g gg g




Product Owners are allowed to delegate some of their responsibilities to other team members.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




If they do, the Product Owner stays accountable.
g g g g g g g g




True or false? The Developers are responsible for composing the Definition of Ready. -
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




ANSWER: ➡ FALSE
g gg g




Remember that there's a description of what being ready means, but there's no "definition of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




ready" in Scrum. Teams may create such a concept as long as they don't turn it into a gate, and
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




remember that if an item is on the top of the Product Backlog, they will always select it for the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




Sprint, even if it's not ready. Items that are not ready will be refined during the Sprint.
