What is the purpose of a Sprint Review?

Who creates the definition of “Done”?

1. A. The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team’s productivity.
2. B. The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members’ definition.
3. C. The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product’s success.
4. D. The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization).

Correct Answer: D
According to the Scrum Guide1, the definition of “Done” is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. The definition of “Done” is created by the development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization). The definition guides the Development Team in creating a “Done” Increment.

Who is on the Scrum Team? (Choose all that apply.)

1. A. Scrum Master
2. B. Product Owner
3. C. Development Team member
4. D. Project Manager
5. E. None of the above

Correct Answer: ABC
The Scrum Team consists of three roles: the Scrum Master, who coaches and facilitates the team; the Product Owner, who manages and prioritizes the Product Backlog; and the Development Team, who delivers a potentially releasable Increment at the end of each Sprint. A project manager is not part of the Scrum Team, as Scrum does not recognize titles or sub-teams. None of the above is also not a correct answer, as it implies that there is no Scrum Team at all.

What is the recommended size for a Development Team?

1. A. 7 plus or minus 3.
2. B. At least 7.
3. C. 9.
4. D. 3 to 9.

Correct Answer: D
The correct answer is D, because the recommended size for a Development Team is 3 to 9 members. The Scrum Guide states that “fewer than three Development Team members decrease interaction and results in smaller productivity gains. Smaller Development Teams may encounter skill constraints during the Sprint, causing the Development Team to be unable to deliver a potentially releasable Increment. Having more than nine members requires too much coordination. Large Development Teams generate too much complexity for an empirical process to be useful.”

What are three benefits of self-organization? (Choose three.)

1. A. Increased creativity.
2. B. Increased rule compliance.
3. C. Increased accuracy of estimates.
4. D. Increased self-accountability
5. E. Increased commitment.

Correct Answer: ADE
According to the Scrum Guide1, self-organization is one of the essential characteristics of Scrum Teams.
Self-organizing teams choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. Self-organization enables teams to deliver faster and better results by harnessing their creativity and skills. Some benefits of self-organization are:
Increased creativity, as team members have more freedom and autonomy to explore new ideas and solutions.
Increased self-accountability, as team members take ownership and responsibility for their work and outcomes.
Increased commitment, as team members are more engaged and motivated by having a say in how they work.
The other options are not benefits of self-organization, as they may imply external control or pressure. References: Scrum Guide
