PSM I Practice Test practice questions, page 7 of 11, with answer review and explanations.

Question 31

During a Sprint, when is new work or further decomposition of work added to the Sprint Backlog?

  1. When the Product Owner identifies new work.
  2. As soon as possible after they are identified.
  3. When the Scrum Master has time to enter them.
  4. During the Daily Scrum after the Development Team approves them.

Question 32

What is the main reason for the Scrum Master to be at the Daily Scrum?

  1. To gather status and progress information to report to management.
  2. To write down any changes to the Sprint Backlog, including adding new items, and tracking progress on the burn-down.
  3. They do not have to be there; they only need to ensure the Development Team has a Daily Scrum.
  4. To make sure every team member answers the three questions.

Question 33

You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using Scrum. In the initial project there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e. one for the front-end, one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services. This resembles what is known as component teams. But you have read that it's a good idea to have teams organized by feature. What are the advantages of keeping component teams while starting Scrum?

  1. There's less initial disruption than organizing into new teams. As they start, they will discover what works best, and how to potentially re-organize towards this.
  2. Component teams generally have the skills needed to create a working Increment of software that provides business value.
  3. Because they have worked together for some time, they are likely able to start producing shippable Increments faster that new feature teams would.
  4. There are fewer cross-team dependencies than working in feature teams.

Question 34

How should Product Backlog items be chosen when multiple Scrum Teams work from the same Product Backlog?

  1. The Scrum Team with the highest velocity pulls Product Backlog items first.
  2. The Development Teams pull in work in agreement with the Product Owner.
  3. The Product Owner should provide each team with its own Product Backlog.
  4. Each Scrum Team takes an equal numbers of items.
  5. The Product Owner decides.

Question 35

How often should Scrum Team membership change?

  1. As needed, while taking into account a short term reduction in productivity.
  2. Never, because it reduces productivity.
  3. As needed, with no special allowance for changes in productivity.
  4. Every Sprint to promote shared learning.
