User Stories in the Sprint Backlog to create the Deliverables for the project. Refer Table 3-3, pages

2 is the correct answer
Which of the following meetings is conducted at the end of a Sprint to analyze improvement
opportunities for the future Sprints?
Justification
Justification: The Retrospect Sprint Meeting is Time-boxed to 4 hours for a one-month Sprint and
conducted as part of the Retrospect Sprint process. During this meeting, the Scrum Team gets
together to review and reflect on the previous Sprint in terms of the processes followed, tools
employed, collaboration and communication mechanisms, and other aspects relevant to the project.
The team discusses what went well during the previous Sprint and what did not go well, the goal
being to learn and make improvements in the Sprints to follow. Some improvement opportunities or
best practices from this meeting could also be updated as part of the Scrum Guidance Body
documents. Reference: A Guide to Scrum Body of Knowledge, SBOK Guide, page 34.
Correct Answer !
1 is the correct answer
1. The pace at which the Scrum Team can work and sustain comfortably for an indefinite period of
time.
2. The pace at which the Scrum Team converts User Stories into deliverables in a Sprint.
4. The pace at which the Scrum Team can work and sustain comfortably in a set of Sprints leading
to a product release.
Justification
Justification: Maintaining a sustainable pace is one of the most important tenets of Scrum.
Sustainable pace translates to increased employee satisfaction, stability, and increased estimation
accuracy, all of which ultimately leads to increased customer satisfaction. To develop a truly high
quality product and maintain a healthy work environment, it is important to carry out integration-type
activities regularly, rather than delaying the integration work until the end in such circumstances.
Reference: A Guide to Scrum Body of Knowledge, SBOK Guide, page 92.
Correct Answer !
4 is the correct answer
1. Ensures that the highest value requirements of the customer are satisfied first as it works on the
principle of value-based prioritization.
2. Leads to a high trust work environment ensuring low friction among employees as it promotes
transparency and collaboration.
4. Ensures that products are developed over an agreed period of time as it emphasizes detailed
planning at the beginning of the project.
Justification
Justification: Unlike traditional waterfall approach which focuses on detailed upfront planning, the
Scrum Framework is founded on the belief that the knowledge workers of today can offer much more
than just their technical expertise, and that trying to fully map out and plan for an ever-changing
environment is not efficient. Therefore, Scrum encourages data-based, iterative decision making. In
Scrum, the primary focus is on delivering products that satisfy customer requirements in small
iterative shippable increments. To deliver the greatest amount of value in the shortest amount of
time, Scrum promotes prioritization and time-boxing over fixing the scope, cost and schedule of a
project. An important feature of Scrum is self-organization, which allows the individuals who are
actually doing the work to estimate and take ownership of tasks. Reference: A Guide to Scrum Body
of Knowledge, SBOK Guide, page 37.
Correct Answer !
3 is the correct answer
1. It enables detailed planning at the beginning of the project hence ensures that all the risks are
identified and mitigated.
2. It provides complete control over the project to the Product Owner as he is responsible for all the
product development activities in a Sprint.
3. It is based on the principle value-based prioritization thus ensures that highest value is provided in
the shortest period possible.
4. It is based on the principle of managing by stages thus ensures that all the expected benefits are
realized at the end of the project.
Justification
Justification: The Scrum framework is driven by the goal of delivering maximum business value in a
minimum time span. One of the most effective tools for delivering the greatest value in the shortest
amount of time is prioritization. Prioritization can be defined as determination of the order and
separation of what must be done now, from what needs to be done later. The concept of
prioritization is not new to project management. The traditional Waterfall model of project
management proposes using multiple task prioritization tools. From the Project Manager’s point of
view, prioritization is integral because certain tasks must be accomplished first to expedite the
development process and achieve the project goals. Some of the traditional techniques of task
prioritization include setting deadlines for delegated tasks and using prioritization matrices.
Reference: A Guide to Scrum Body of Knowledge, SBOK Guide, page 31.
Correct Answer !
2 is the correct answer
Justification
Justification: Being adaptive to change is a key advantage of the Scrum framework. Although Scrum
works well for all projects in all industries, it can be very effective when the product or other project
requirements are not fully understood or cannot be well defined up front, when the product’s market
is volatile, and/or when the focus is on making the team flexible enough to incorporate changing
requirements. Scrum is especially useful for complex projects with a lot of uncertainty. Long-term
planning and forecasting is typically ineffective for such projects and they involve high quantities of
risk. Scrum guides the team through transparency, inspection, and adaptation to the most valuable
business outcomes. Reference: A Guide to Scrum Body of Knowledge, SBOK Guide, page 98.

Justification
Justification: Projects are usually impacted by constraints of time, cost, scope, quality, people and
organizational capabilities. The objective of the project team is to create Deliverables as defined in
Prioritized Product Backlog. Reference: A Guide to Scrum Body of Knowledge, SBOK Guide, page
