ASM EXIN SIMULATION #2 QUESTIONS & ANSWERSA Scrum team has been assigned a new project and decides to add the following
statement to the Definition of Done:Only features for which a functional design is drafted
and accepted are put on the Sprint Backlog.The Scrum Master reviews this and states:
Documentation is needed. For each feature, the design should be created or updated.
We need to add to the Definition of Done and keep this in mind when estimating tasks
for the next Sprint Backlog.Why does the Scrum Master say this?
A. Because the documentation can be created and adjusted per feature
B. Because the Customer is valued over documentation in Agile development
C. Because the Scrum Master knows if the team has time to implement this
D. Because the Sprint Backlog gives enough information to do this quickly - Answers-
Correct Option: A
EXPLANATION
The Agile way of working means that each feature has to follow the steps of design,
build, and test. Therefore, the documentation is created and adjusted per feature.
One week into a four-week sprint, the Development Team has realized that it won't be
able to deliver half of the Sprint Backlog items. The Product Owner is not happy with
this, because the customer is expecting most of those features for a release at the end
of the Sprint. What is the best course of action as the Scrum Master?
A. Recommend the cancellation of the Sprint and start another one immediately, one
that is only focused on the must-have features
B. Recommend that the Product Owner to revise the order of Sprint Backlog items and
let the developers continue with the best they can
C. Recommend that the developers to work overtime, and in return, take a few days off
after the Sprint
D. Recommend an extension of the Sprint duration, until everything is finished for the
release - Answers-Correct Option: B
EXPLANATION
The fact that it cannot deliver everything, is not a reason for canceling the Sprint.
Sprints are only canceled when they don't make sense anymore. For example: the
customer doesn't need the Sprint Backlog items anymore. When the developers realize
that they won't be able to deliver a high percentage of the items, it's a good idea to ask
,the Product Owner to check the sprint Backlog and make changes in the priorities (if
needed), since items at the bottom of the Sprint Backlog will probably stay incomplete.
The Product Owner assigns tasks to developers in the Daily Scrum, and the meeting
always takes more than 15 minutes. How should the Scrum Master address this
situation?
A. Convince the Product Owner to stop assigning tasks to the Development Team and
not to participate in the Daily Scrum
B. Assign the tasks to keep it within the 15- minute time box
C. Should not interfere in arguments and should let the self-organized team members
solve this problem themselves
D. Explain to the Product Owner that tasks are assigned after the Daily Scrum, so that
the meeting stays within the 15-minute time box - Answers-Correct Option: A
EXPLANATION
The developers themselves assign the tasks, rather than the Product Owner or the
Scrum Master. The Daily Scrum is only for answering the three standard questions and
nothing else. It's also for the Development Team and no one else can participate (while
they can attend to observe).
The Product Owner and the Development Team have disagreements in the Sprint
Planning meeting. The Product Owner believes that the developers have estimated the
items and their capacity too pessimistically and, therefore have selected too few items
for the Sprint. What is the best action for the Scrum Master?
A. Ask the Development Team to revise their estimates, because the Product Owner
represents the customer
B. Ask the two parties to calm down, discuss the matter, and come to an agreement,
probably somewhere in the middle
C. Tell the Product Owner to revise the estimates and calculate the velocity, and let the
developers know how many items they should select
D. Explain to the Product Owner that his decision belongs to the Development Team
and that it should be accepted - Answers-Correct Option: D
EXPLANATION
, Estimating the Product Backlog items and the capacity is the responsibility of the
Development Team, and no one should force them to change it, because in this case,
their self-organization will be weakened, which in turn, blocks Agility.
When is the Definition of Done used first by the Development Team?
A. During the estimation of the features in the Product Backlog, since the work depends
on the requirements of both the features and the Definition of Done.
B. During the Daily Stand-up when a feature is defined as Done, since each feature
must be checked for readiness as soon as it is finished during the Sprint.
C. During the Demo to the Product Owner and the Stakeholders, since they have to
accept the product as a potentially shippable product.
D. During the Release Sprint, in which it is confirmed that all the features created are
according to the customer wishes and thus shippable. - Answers-Correct Option: A
EXPLANATION
The workload indeed depends on all the requirements for a feature and thus includes
the Definition of Done, since this list defines all the requirements for all the features on
the Product Backlog.
The Product Owner wants two releases in the project: one on the middle and one at the
end. The Scrum Master points out that this does not matter. Why does the Scrum
Master say this?
A. These are the usual release points for a Scrum project.
B. Only one release per project is usual, so the project must be split.
C. All increments should be potentially releasable.
D. Planning the releases is the Development Team's decision. - Answers-Correct
Option: C
EXPLANATION
All increments should be (potentially) releasable, to improve the feedback loop and
enable adaptation. It doesn't matter if the increments make it possible to maximize the
value for the customer and to keep continually improving the final release. The Product
Owner is responsible for prioritizing the correct features from the backlog to make sure
that the two official releases are ready and that the Definition of Done matches that of
the customer.
