In the Sprint Planning meeting, the Product Owner and the Development Team were unable to reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Development Team couldn't figure out how many Product Backlog items it could forecast for the upcoming Sprint. They were able to agree on a Sprint Goal, however.
Which of the following two actions should the Scrum Master support? (Choose two.)
Who does the work to make sure Product Backlog items conform to the Definition of Done?
(choose the Best answer)
According to the Scrum Guide, the Developers do the work to make sure Product Backlog items conform to the Definition of Done, as they are responsible for creating a ''Done'' Increment that meets the Definition of Done. The other options are not valid, as they imply that the work is done by someone else outside the Development Team (such as Quality Assurance Team) or by another role on the Scrum Team (such as Product Owner or Scrum Master).
What is the function or purpose of management in Scrum?
(choose the best answer)
A, B and D are not good answers because they imply a command-and-control approach that contradicts Scrum's values of respect, openness, and self-organization. Management in Scrum is not supposed to micromanage, judge, or interfere with the work of the Developers, but rather support them and enable them to deliver value.
A Scrum Team is only allowed to meet with stakeholders during Sprint Review.
According to the Scrum Guide, a Scrum Team is not only allowed to meet with stakeholders during Sprint Review, but also during Sprint Planning and throughout the Sprint as needed. The Sprint Review is an opportunity for the Scrum Team and the stakeholders to collaborate on what was done in the Sprint and what to do next. However, it is not the only time that stakeholder feedback is welcomed and valued.
Who is responsible for managing the progress of work during a Sprint?
The correct answer is B, because the Development Team is responsible for managing the progress of work during a Sprint. The Scrum Guide states that ''the Development Team tracks this total work remaining at least for every Daily Scrum to project the likelihood of achieving the Sprint Goal. By tracking the remaining work throughout the Sprint, the Development Team can manage its progress.''
