NEW QUESTION # 16
The director of engineering in your organization always stresses the importance of meeting deadlines in order for the engineering department to be seen as a reliable source for the product management department. The director has calculated that the team's velocity needs to increase an additional 15% to meet the commitment he made to management for the release date of the product.
He asks Steven, the team's Scrum Master, to increase his team's velocity. Which would be the best two responses for Steven to take? (Choose two.)
- A. He educates his director how it is part of a team's self-organization to improve velocity. He invites the director to the next Sprint Retrospective to brainstorm on how they can improve.
- B. He tells the director that this is not his responsibility in Scrum. He tells the director to work with the Product Owner to check whether the estimates on the Product Backlog are being respected during implementation.
- C. He helps the director understand that it typically takes a few Sprints for a team to gradually increase the velocity up to the level expected. Meanwhile he presents this to the team as a challenge and a company goal, leaving it however up to them to figure out exactly how to achieve this.
- D. He informs the director of organizational impediments he is aware of that prevent the team from being more productive. He suggests collaborating with him on how to remove these impediments.
- E. He explains how a team uses the velocity of a Sprint primarily to forecast work for the next Sprint, not to perfectly predict future productivity. He refers the director to the Product Owner for all information concerning the progress of development.

How does the Scrum Master serve the Scrum Team?
(choose the best two answers)
- A. The Scrum Master facilitates Scrum events as requested or needed
- B. The Scrum Master coaches the Scrum Team and the organization how to work empirically.
- C. The Scrum Master resolves every impediment that the Developers run into
- D. The Scrum Master never intervenes in matters of the Scrum Team, but allows them to maximize their autonomy and freedom.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Explanation
The Scrum Master serves the Scrum Team by coaching them and the organization how to work empirically, which means using an evidence-based approach to inspect and adapt the product and the process1. The Scrum Master also facilitates Scrum events as requested or needed, such as the Sprint Planning, the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Review, and the Sprint Retrospective2. The Scrum Master ensures that these events are positive, productive, and kept within the timebox2.
The Scrum Master does not resolve every impediment that the Developers run into, but rather helps them to remove or overcome those impediments themselves3. The Scrum Master also does not never intervene in matters of the Scrum Team, but rather balances between providing guidance and allowing autonomy. The Scrum Master is not a passive observer, but an active servant leader who supports the team in achieving their goals.

NEW QUESTION # 20
Steven, who is a Scrum Master, on one of the Scrum Teams has approached you asking for advice. Their Daily Scrum requires more than 15 minutes and the team has suggested dividing themselves into two separate teams in order to stay within the time box.
As another Scrum Master, what would be the best response?
- A. Agree - this is an appropriate solution to the problem.
- B. Disagree - as the root cause may not be that the team is too big.

- D. Unsure - dividing a team into two cannot be decided based on this information. You offer to observe.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The relationship between cause and effect can become more clear when more information emerges.
NEW QUESTION # 21

Because this is a localized issue, they are the ones that must initiate the actions for the results they desire.
NEW QUESTION # 22
Self-management is more effective when it happens within boundaries.
Select two relevant boundaries for self-management provided by the Scrum framework.
(choose the best two answers)
- A. Creating a valuable and useful Increment by the end of each Sprint.
- B. Clearly defining sub-responsibilities and handovers within the Scrum Team.
- C. Having an even number of members in a Scrum Team to be able to do pair programming and be more productive.
- D. Timeboxing work to allow for frequent inspection.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Explanation
The best two answers are A and C.
A) Timeboxing work to allow for frequent inspection. This is a relevant boundary for self-management provided by the Scrum framework, as it helps the Scrum Team to organize their work into fixed-length Sprints and other events, such as the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Planning, the Sprint Review, and the Sprint Retrospective. Timeboxing enables the Scrum Team to inspect their progress, adapt their plan, and deliver value regularly and predictably.
C) Creating a valuable and useful Increment by the end of each Sprint. This is also a relevant boundary for self-management provided by the Scrum framework, as it guides the Scrum Team to focus on delivering a product Increment that meets the Sprint Goal and the Definition of Done. Creating a valuable and useful Increment requires the Scrum Team to collaborate, communicate, and coordinate effectively, and to apply their skills and creativity to solve complex problems.

NEW QUESTION # 23
Peter is a new Product Owner on a newly formed Scrum Team. Peter has projected a product completion date based on an estimated velocity of 21 completed points per Sprint. After the first 3 Sprints, the team has determined that their maximum velocity is 15 points and they are unable to create shippable increments at the end of each Sprint.
What is the best way to proceed?
- A. The Scrum Master would coach the team on improving their estimations and commitment to completing the Sprint Backlog.
- B. Inform Peter that the projected completion date is not correct. The Development team would estimate the remaining work to produce a shippable Increment and suggest making it "Done" before working on new features. Based on empirical data, Peter can adjust the completion date and decide how to continue.
- C. The Sprints have failed to produce shippable Increments there for opportunities to inspect and adapt is lost. The Scrum Master would encourage the organization to add more team members in order to increase the team's capacity.
- D. Extend the Sprint in order to complete the Sprint Backlog items.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 24
A new Product Owner has joined an existing Scrum Team that has been working together for eight Sprints. The Development Team has grown to have a good understanding of the functionality and business for the product they have been building. The Product Owner, being new to the company, is unsure about his responsibilities.
As a Scrum Master explain what two acceptable ways of helping the Product Owner would be. (Choose two.)
- A. You tell the Product Owner to make sure that there are no ambiguities or possible misunderstandings in the items on the Product Backlog when they are handed over to the Development Team. This is best done by capturing the functional requirements during an analysis phase, resulting in documents that are considered as the working product of such analysis Sprints.
- B. You inform the Product Owner that, in today's highly competitive markets, it is important that the Development Team is updated on changing business priorities on a daily basis. The Daily Scrum allows the Development Team to adapt to the changes in scope without delay.
- C. You advise the Product Owner to rely on the Development Team and the stakeholders to formulate the Product Backlog, as they are the ones most knowledgeable. By asking Question:s and working with them the Product Owner will quickly be up to speed.
- D. You advise the Product Owner to start building a good relationship with the stakeholders of the product.
Ongoing interaction with them is important to regularly align with changing organizational or market expectations. The Product Owner is also expected to invite the right stakeholders to the Sprint Review meeting.

The ones that are closest to the work are the best ones to understand and explain what the work is and what the needs of the users and product are.
NEW QUESTION # 25
User documentation is part of your Definition of Done. However, there are not enough technical writers for all teams. Your Scrum Team does not have a technical writer. What needs to be done?
(choose the best answer)
- A. Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by any available technical writers.
- B. Your Scrum Team is still accountable for creating user documentation. In this case, the Developers will write it.
- C. Form a separate team of technical writers that will work on an on-demand basis for the various Product Owners. Work order will be first in, first out.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
User documentation is part of your Definition of Done, which means that it is a requirement for delivering a potentially releasable product increment. Your Scrum Team cannot ignore or postpone this requirement, even if there are not enough technical writers for all teams. Your Scrum Team is responsible for creating and maintaining the user documentation, and the Developers are the ones who have the skills and authority to do so. The Scrum Master can help the Developers learn how to write effective user documentation, and the Product Owner can provide feedback on its quality and value.

NEW QUESTION # 29
At the ninth Sprint Retrospective, the Product Owner is very disappointed and angry. She has determined that the technical debt has increased, and the product is not meeting her expectations. The product will need a few more Sprints to meet the scalability requirements.
Which of the following could be true? Select the best response.
(choose the best answer)
- A. The Scrum Team is not having conversations around technical debt.
- B. The Scrum Team has not used the past Sprint Retrospectives effectively to inspect and adapt.
- C. All of the above.
- D. The Developers have not been paying enough attention to quality.
- E. None of the above.
- F. The Scrum Master has not ensured that the Scrum Team is being transparent.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The situation described in the question indicates that there are multiple problems in the Scrum Team that have led to the increase of technical debt and the dissatisfaction of the Product Owner. These problems include:
The Scrum Team has not used the past Sprint Retrospectives effectively to inspect and adapt. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to reflect on their performance and identify improvements for the next Sprint. If the Scrum Team has not been using this event properly, they may have missed some issues or opportunities that could have improved their quality and value delivery.
The Developers have not been paying enough attention to quality. The Developers are accountable for creating a potentially releasable product increment that meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. If the Developers have not been focusing on quality, they may have introduced defects, errors, or inefficiencies that compromise the functionality and usability of the product.
The Scrum Team is not having conversations around technical debt. Technical debt is the accumulation of work that needs to be done to ensure that a product is maintainable and extensible in the future. If the Scrum Team is not discussing and managing technical debt, they may be neglecting some important aspects of the product architecture, design, or code that could affect its scalability, performance, or security.
The Scrum Master has not ensured that the Scrum Team is being transparent. The Scrum Master is responsible for establishing an environment where transparency, inspection, and adaptation can occur. If the Scrum Master has not ensured that the Scrum Team is being transparent, they may have allowed some hidden problems or assumptions to persist that could affect the quality and value of the product.

Professional Scrum Master II Course, page 12: "Technical debt is a metaphor for expressing how doing things in a suboptimal way can accumulate over time and make it harder to change or improve a product in the future." Scrum Guide 2020, page 6: "The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. They do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the organization."
NEW QUESTION # 30
If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, all of the Scrum Teams must mutually define a Definition of Ready (DoR). The DoR is a checklist that the Product Owner must fulfill before a Product Backlog item can be presented at the Sprint Planning. This protects the Development Team from interruptions and disruptions during the Sprint.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
Product Backlog items should be clear enough and have enough information for the Product Owner and Development to understand the work that needs to be done and to create a forecast of Product Backlog items to implement the Sprint Goal. Nothing stops the flow of Sprints, for example, we do not delay the Sprint because the items are not ready. In such cases, the "unready" items would be selected for the Sprint anyway and refined during the Sprint.
In the case that the Product Backlog items are not clear enough, the Development Team forecasts the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, start the Sprint and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint. At the end of the Sprint, the Scrum Team can discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.
NEW QUESTION # 31
Steven is a Scrum Master asked to assist in creating five new Scrum Teams that will be working to build a highly anticipated product. He talks with them about the importance of being able to integrate their Increments by the end of their Sprints. This includes the first Sprints. The product is very important to both the end users and the organization.
Of the choices raised by future team members, what would Steven encourage?
- A. All Scrum Teams agree on a mutual understanding of 'done' that defines all work necessary to deliver a potentially shippable Increment that includes all previous Increments delivered for the product.
- B. Each Scrum Team delivers Increments in its own code branch. After UAT is performed at the Sprint Review, the code branch is isolated until enough Increments are considered acceptable. All code branches will then be merged during the release phase.
- C. Wait until enough of the infrastructure and architecture is in place before starting the first Sprints. This will increase the success of delivering integrated Increments in Sprint 1.
- D. Each Scrum Team delivers functionality at the end of each Sprint. New Product Backlog items will then be added to the next Sprint Backlog to integrate their functionality with the other teams to create a unified Increment.
Answer: A
Explanation:
When a Product Backlog item or an Increment is described as "Done", everyone must understand what "Done" means. If there are multiple Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the Development Teams on all the Scrum Teams must mutually define the definition of "Done" to have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency. Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly tested, ensuring that all Increments work together.
