(Choose two) • The Product Owner can clarify the backlog during the Sprint • The Product Owner estimates the size of the Sprint backlog • The Product Owner prioritizes the Product backlog • The Product Owner defines the Sprint Goal before the Sprint Planning meeting • The Product Owner can clarify the backlog during the Sprint • The Product Owner prioritizes the Product backlog Comment: The Product Owner is responsible for the ordering of the product backlog and can provide clarification during the Sprint. He or she does not estimate the work, nor should they have the Sprint goal defined before the Sprint Planning meeting. 302. Who creates the Sprint Goal? • The Development Team • The Scrum Master • The Product Owner • The entire Scrum Team The entire Scrum Team Comment: The Scrum Team consisting of the Development Team, Scrum Master, and Product Owner creates the Sprint Goal. 303. In Scrum, the development team decides which events or ceremonies tale place during a Sprint. • True • False False Comment: In Scrum, ALL events take place. "Failure to include any of these events results in reduced transparency and is a lost opportunity to inspect and adapt." 304. The Scrum Master is a participant in the Sprint Retrospectives. • True • False True Comment: The Scrum Mater is a participant in the Sprint Retrospective. 305. If the Development Team does not have all the skills to accomplish the Sprint Goal, the Scrum Master should: • Cancel the Sprint • Stop using Scrum • Have the development team determine the definition of "Done" and work through the Sprint backlog • Remove the impacted stories from the Sprint backlog Have the development team determine the definition of "Done" and work through the Sprint backlog Comment: The Development Team needs to self-organize to determine what can be accomplished with the team members it has; they develop the additional skills over time to improve the definition of Done. 306. The Project Manager plays the following role in Scrum: • Collects the status from the Scrum Master • Updates the Burndown chart • Creates the release plan • There is no project manager role in Scrum There is no project manager role in Scrum 307. What is the purpose of the Sprint Review? (Choose three) • To collaborate with stakeholders • To inspect and adapt • To provide status on the Sprint • To demonstrate what is "Done" • To collaborate with stakeholders • To inspect and adapt • To demonstrate what is "Done" Comment: Inspect and Adapt, collaborate with stakeholders, and demonstrate "Done" are performed during the Sprint Review. 308. Scrum dictates the use of User Stories. • True • False False Comment: User Stories are an Agile requirement gathering technique, but not an artifact of the Scrum framework. 309. Scrum is a software development methodology. • True • False False Comment: Scrum is a process control methodology and is not used only for software development projects. 310. If the Development Team doesn't like the time of the daily Scrum, what should the Scrum Master do? • Find a time that is open on everyone's calendar • Let the Development Team come up with a new time • Ask the Team to try the existing time for one Sprint • Tell them that Scrum is immutable and that they need to stick to it Let the Development Team come up with a new time Comment: Let the Development Team come up with a new time since they are self-organized. 311. The backlog is ordered by: • The needs of the Product Owner • Risk • Complexity • Size The needs of the Product Owner 312. Who is responsible for maximizing the value of the product backlog? • The Customer • The Scrum Master and Product Owner • The Product Owner • The Development Team and Product Owner The Product Owner 313. What happens if all the necessary testing doesn't occur in a Sprint? • The user Story is moved to the next Sprint • Additional testers are added in the next Sprint • A risk of not creating a potentially shippable product occurs • The burndown chart is updated A risk of not creating a potentially shippable product occurs 314. Pick roles that support the Scrum Master in removing impediments. (Choose two) • The Development Team • Senior Management • The Product Owner • The Customer • The Development Team • Senior Management 315.

Match the activity (on the top) to the Scrum event (on the bottom). Sprint Planning Sprint Retrospective Daily Scrum Sprint Review Sprint Goal creation Adapt the definition of "Done" Inspect and adapt Demonstrate Functionality Sprint Planning / Sprint Goal creation Sprint Retrospective / Adapt the definition of "Done" Daily Scrum / Inspect and adapt Sprint Review / Demonstrate Functionality 317. What Scrum event or artifact supports daily inspection and adaptation? • Product Backlog • Sprint Backlog • Sprint • Scrum • Working Product Increment Scrum Comment: The Development Team uses the daily Scrum to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and to inspect how progress is trending toward completing the work in the Sprint Backlog. 318. What Scrum event or artifact is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product? • Product Backlog • Sprint Backlog • Sprint • Scrum • Working Product Increment Product Comment: The Product Backlog is an order list of everything that might be needed in the product and is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product. 319. What Scrum event or artifact is the set of items selected for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal? • Product Backlog • Sprint Backlog • Sprint • Scrum • Working Product Increment Sprint Backlog Comment: The Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal. 320. The Scrum Master's job is to work with the Scrum Team and the organization to increase the awareness of the artifacts. Which pillar of Scrum does this represent? • Transparency • Inspection • Adaptation Transparency Comment: The Scrum Master must work with the Product Owner, Development Team, and other involved parties to understand if the artifacts are completely transparent. 321. Scrum users must frequently review Scrum artifacts and progress toward a Sprint Goal to detect undesirable variances. Which pillar of Scrum does this represent? • Transparency • Inspection • Adaptation Inspection 322. Based upon this Burndown Chart, is this project ahead of schedule or behind schedule?

Pick the two PMLC models that are based upon the Agile Project Management (APM) approach: • Linear • Adaptive • Incremental • Iterative Adaptive 324. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an Adaptive PMLC Model? • Iterative Structure • Clear up front requirements • Mission Critical Projects • JIT Planning Clear up front requirements Comment: Adaptive models have minimal information at the beginning of the project. 325. This management approach is based on knowing well defined goals but not the means for a solution. • Traditional Project Management • Emertxe Project Management • Extreme Project Management • Agile Project Management Agile Project Management 326. This Emertxe Project Management (MPx) approach is when neither a goal nor solution is defined. • True • False False Comment: The Emertxe Project Management approach is when the solution is well defined, however, the goal is not defined. 327. Every Project Management Life Cycle (PMLC) has a sequence of processes that include these phases: Scoping Planning Launching Monitoring & Controlling Closing • True • False True Comment: Every valid project management life cycle must include each of these processes one more more times. 328. Which of the following is weakness of an Adaptive PMLC Model? • Does not waste time on non-value-added work • Does not waste time planning uncertainty • Cannot identify what will be delivered at the end of the project • Avoids all management issues processing scope change requests Cannot identify what will be delivered at the end of the project 329.
