Question 41

Which two scenarios would best represent a self-organizing Development Team? (Choose two.)

  1. The Development Team members are strictly focused on the work within their functional role and always handing off the work to other roles in a timely matter.
  2. Management works with the Scrum Master to optimize the Development Team's progress during the Sprint.
  3. Development Team members collaboratively select and re-plan their work throughout the Sprint.
  4. The Development Team invites external people to the Sprint Planning to help them create a complete and detailed Sprint Backlog.
  5. The Development Team creates its own Sprint Backlog, reflecting all work that is part of the Definition of Done.

Question 42

Steven is a Scrum Master of a Development Team that has members working in different cities and time zones. Organizing the Scrum events is time consuming and requires a lot of effort to set up and run. The Development Team proposes to only hold the Daily Scrum on Mondays. Which two responses would be most appropriate from Steven? (Choose two.)

  1. Coach the team on why having a Daily Scrum every day is an important opportunity to update the Sprint plan and how it helps the team self-organize work toward achieving the Sprint Goal.
  2. Ensure that there is an overall consensus by having the Development Team members vote.
  3. Help the Development Team understand that lowering the frequency of communication will only increase the feeling of disconnect between the team members.
  4. Acknowledge and support their decision.

Question 43

Steven is a Scrum Master of a Scrum Team that is new to Scrum. At the halfway point of the Sprint, the Product Owner comes to Steven telling him that he is concerned the Development Team will not be able to complete the entire Sprint Backlog by the end of the Sprint. What should Steven do in this situation?

  1. Motivate the Development Team to meet their commitment to the Product Owner.
  2. Coach the Product Owner that with complex software development, you cannot promise the entire scope that was forecast during Sprint Planning. As more is learned during the Sprint, work may emerge that affects the Sprint Backlog.
  3. Advise the Product Owner that the Development Team owns the Sprint Backlog and it is up to them to meet their commitments. No one tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality.
  4. Add more people to the Development Team to meet the Product Owner's expectations.

Question 44

  3. The skills and working relationships of the people on the teams.
  4. The timescale of the planned work.
  5. The clear definitions of stages and gateways in the overall governance model.
  6. The definition of incentive and bonus strategies by HR for all team members.
