The Developers are struggling with running their Daily Scrum effectively.

Random people are not able to show up on time, making it difficult to start
the Daily Scrum on time. This is disrupting the flow of the event and makes it
painful to align. As a Scrum Master, what are the most appropriate ways to
respond? (choose the best two answers)
A) Because the Daily Scrum is owned by the Developers, it's their responsibility to
manage and run the event. This includes finding the best time and place. The
Scrum Master can coach them on making decisions that stay in alignment with the
Scrum Framework but does not tell them when, where, or how to run the Daily
Scrum.
B) You ask them what they think should be done to ensure that their Daily Scrum
is effective and meets its purpose. Allow them to own the solution.
C) You advise them to only hold the Daily Scrum when everyone is available at
the same time.
D) You serve the team by contacting the members before the Daily Scrum as a
reminder. This will help them develop a habit.

schedule. This ensures that everyone has commitment of attending on the
following day.

A Scrum Team has a total of six Developers, 4 members who work full-time in
the office and 2 members who work part time at home. The Developers are
complaining that it is too difficult to synchronize every day and has suggested
having the Daily Scrum every other day instead. What would be three key
concerns if the Daily Scrum is held less frequently? (choose the best three
answers)

A) The Daily Scrum is an internal meeting for the Developers to inspect progress
toward the Sprint Goal and to inspect how progress is trending toward completing
the work in the Sprint Backlog. The Daily Scrum optimizes the probability that the
Scrum Team will meet the Sprint Goal. Every day, the Developers should
understand how it intends to work together as a self-organizing team to accomplish
the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment by the end of the Sprint.
Reducing the frequency of the event will increase the length of the feedback loop
and adds risk if the team deviates too far off-course.
B) It will take longer to raise and resolve impediments.
C) Opportunities to inspect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are reduced.
D) The Sprint plan will become less accurate and transparency on the progress
toward the Sprint Goal is reduced as the frequency of sharing information drops.

You are a Scrum Master on a new Product initiative. Building this product
will be a scaled effort with multiple teams. To get started, you schedule a
session with the future members so that they can organize into teams. While
providing them with guidelines, some members ask you who should be
responsible for coordinating the work between the Scrum Teams. What is the
best response? (choose the best answer)

A) A Scrum Team is responsible for delivering an increment each Sprint. This

requires the team to have the skills and competencies to not only do the technical
work but also solve challenges that may face. Because the Developers are the ones
doing the work, they are the best ones to decide how to solve/resolve coordination
issues rather than depend on a person external to the Scrum Team. The Scrum
Master will provide support and guidance but would not be the best person to
decide how it is done unless he/she is also participating as a Developer.
B) Tell them that you will interact with all Scrum Teams on a daily basis and
synchronize their Sprint Backlogs for them before each Daily Scrum.
C) Coach them so that they can collectively form Scrum Teams where each team
will have all of the skills and competencies necessary to create a releasable product
Increment by the end of each Sprint.
D) Advise to use version control tools to eliminate dependencies between teams
and coordination issues.
E) Have each team elect one member to attend the other teams' Daily Scrum to
ensure proper alignment across the teams. F) Teach the Product Owner to assign
team labels to the items in the Product Backlog to know which team will be
working on what items.

Answer: The correct answer is C

Which of the following best describes a Sprint Goal? (choose the best two
answers)

A) The number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely
up to the Developers. Only the Developers can assess what it can accomplish over
the upcoming Sprint. The Sprint Goal is an objective set for the Sprint that can be
met through the implementation of Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the
Developers on why it is building the Increment. It is created during the Sprint
Planning meeting. The Sprint Goal gives the Developers some flexibility regarding
the functionality implemented within the Sprint. The selected Product Backlog
items deliver one coherent function, which can be the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Goal
can be any other coherence that causes the Developers to work together rather than
on separate initiatives.
B) The Sprint Goal is used at the end of the Sprint to check that all of the work
agreed to in the Sprint Planning has been completed.

You are a Scrum Master that has just been hired to help a Scrum Team.
Their Sprints are 4 weeks long and there are 11 Developers on the Scrum
Team. After a few Sprints, you've observed that the Product Backlog rarely
changes and when it does it's only to add additional description to the items.
Each item can only be worked on by specific individuals but they are able to
complete the work with little issue or problems. During the Sprint Plannings,
you are unable to help the team come up with meaningful Sprint Goals as the
items are random and unrelated. What is LIKELY to be causing this
problem? (choose the best three answers)

A) Many people misinterpret the Scrum Guide as stating the Scrum Team size is
limited to 3-9 members. In reality, Scrum only states that teams typically consist of
10 or fewer people. There are risks of having too little or too many members. As
the number of members increase, the lines of communication also increase. This
can be calculated using the Group intercommunication formula: n(n − 1) / 2 where
n is the number of of members. Some teams are able to handle the risk and
""synergize"" whereas others might struggle. Saying that, the relationship between
defining a Sprint Goal and Development Team size is unclear. But the relationship
between the ordering of the Product Backlog, the PO having clear objectives, and
the Sprint Goal are [i]direct[/i]. The Product Owner typically comes to the the
Sprint Planning with a business objective in mind and Product Backlog items
related to the business objective. After deciding what can be done for the
upcoming Sprint, the Scrum Team will craft a Sprint Goal that would be met
through the implementation of the items. This is not dependent on the size of the
team nor length of the Sprint. Scrum is also a framework that's fit for purpose.
Some projects/products are not fit for Scrum...or better stated - Scrum is not
suitable for all projects/products.
B) The Sprints are too long.
C) The Product Owner is not empowered to make Product Backlog decisions.
D) The Product Owner doesn't have business objectives he wants to achieve in the
Sprints. E) Scrum might not be the most suitable framework for this product.
F) There are too many Developers on the team.
