NEW QUESTION 87
An organization has just hired you as a new Scrum Master to help them transition their teams from their current traditional process to Scrum. The teams are currently structured to specialize in a single function. This is also known as component teams where a team would only address a single layer (i.e. design, frontend, backend, database, testing, etc.). You've introduced the concept of cross-functional teams where all the skills needed to produce business functionality, from end to end, are inside of a single team.
What should you keep in mind when transitioning from siloed teams to cross-functional teams? (Choose two.)
- A. It is easier to compare the performance between cross-functional teams in order to identify to which teams to assign tasks and which teams need additional coaching.
- B. Without feature teams, you cannot do Scrum. Postpone Scrum adoption until the teams are reorganized in feature teams.
- C. Newly formed teams will need time to stabilize before reaching their peak performance. During the initial stages of forming, performance will suffer and productivity may be low, although even then delivery of business value is still likely to increase.
- D. People from the different layers and components will need time to become accustomed to working and delivering unified functionality together as one Scrum Team thus productivity may suffer.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Forming a team takes time, and members often go through recognizable stages as they change from being a collection of strangers to a united group with common goals. Bruce Tuckman's Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing model describes these stages. When you understand it, you can help your new team become effective more quickly.
NEW QUESTION 88
When technical debt occurs, the system will become more unstable as development progresses and code is added resulting in future work being slowed down.
- A. False
- B. True
Answer: B
Explanation:
Technical debt is any shortcomings in the code. It is a natural by-product of software development (unavoidable) and can at best be managed. If neglected, it will compound and have a negative effect on the team's ability to the deliver value. A team can have an artificially high velocity by taking shortcuts or introducing technical debt into the system. This can give a false assumption about the current state of the product. It can look good on the surface but underneath can be a mess.
NEW QUESTION 89
When does a Sprint end?
- A. When there is no work remaining in the Sprint Backlog.
- B. When the time-box expires.
- C. Immediately after the conclusion of the Sprint Review.
- D. It depends on the Product Owner.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
NEW QUESTION 90
During the Sprint Review, the Product Owner decides to release the current Increment to production. The stakeholders suggest temporarily delaying the next Sprint in order to respond more quickly to user feedback after the release. The Product Owner prefers to continue to the next Sprint and make progress towards the next release. Steven, the Scrum Master, begins facilitating the discussion.
What would be two acceptable outcomes of the discussion? (Choose two.)
- A. Delay the next Sprint to allow the Development Team to work on new customer feedback.
- B. Continue with the Sprints but allow the Sprint Goal within the Sprint to change according to the customer feedback.
- C. Continue with the Sprints and include the customer feedback in the Product Backlog.
- D. Continue with the Sprints but shorten the Sprint time-boxes to allow for shorter feedback loops.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint. Delaying the start of the next Sprint interrupts progress and can reduce the Time-to-Market. Shortening the Sprint length allows the team to respond quicker to changes outside of the Sprint plan and while still allowing delivery of business value. Adding user feedback to the Product Backlog helps the Product Owner with ordering the backlog to maximize the flow of value.
During the Sprint no changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal.
NEW QUESTION 91
A key concern when multiple Development Teams are working for the same Product Backlog is minimizing dependencies between teams.
- A. False

NEW QUESTION 93
A Scrum Team has been working on a product for several iterations and has an average velocity of 55 units of
'done' work per Sprint. A second team will be added to work on the same product.
What might be the impact on the original team?
- A. Their velocity is likely not affected and will remain at 55.
- B. Their velocity is likely to drop and be less than 55.
- C. Their velocity is likely to rise and be more than 55.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Similar to membership changes within a single Scrum Team, adding or removing additional Scrum Teams working on the same product will impact productivity in the short term. Adding additional teams often go through recognizable stages as they change from being a collection of strangers to a united group with common goals. Bruce Tuckman's Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing model describes these stages.

- C. Have the Development Team re-order the Product Backlog so Nicole can serve one team full-time in a Sprint.
- D. Ask Nicole for a plan to hire and train additional people in her domain, and in the meantime work with the Product Owner and Development Teams to re-prioritize the work so that tasks not depending on Nicole can be done first.
- E. For Sprints that require Nicole's expertise for more than one team, combine the teams into one and separate when they no longer need to share her services.
- F. People from the Development Teams with an interest in Nicole's domain could volunteer to take on this work in their respective teams.

While starting Scrum, what would be the advantages of keeping the existing component teams (e.g. design, database, backend, frontend)?
- A. There is less communication overhead than working in feature teams.
- B. Because their productivity is already predictable, they can deliver shippable Increments more quickly than a newly formed team.
- C. Because they have been working together for some time, there will be less initial disruption than a newly formed team. As they begin working, they will discover what works best and how to move towards cross- functional teams.
- D. Component teams generally have all the skills needed to deliver shippable Increments that add business value.
- E. Component teams would have all the skills needed to focus on their specific technical layer.
Answer: C

NEW QUESTION 104
Steven is a Scrum Master employed by the engineering department. The Director of Engineering considers using Scrum for a new project but wonders about the value of having all of the Development Team members attend the Daily Scrum. He is concerned that the employees already attend a lot of mandatory company meetings.
What are two outcomes of the Daily Scrum that Steven should explain on why the Daily Scrum is important?
(Choose two.)
- A. The Development Team members will produce a daily status report indicating how much time was spent working on individual tasks since the last Daily Scrum. The reports will help in discussing how the Sprint went at the Sprint Review meeting. It will provide detailed insights into the accuracy of estimates versus actual time spent, which can be used to create better estimates at the next Sprint Planning.
- B. The Daily Scrum serves for the Development Team to report to Steven, as a Scrum Master, all updates on the assigned tasks in the Sprint Backlog. He can then use the team's updates to plan their work for the next day, making sure that every team member is assigned the right tasks.
- C. Through the short, daily alignment of the Daily Scrum the members of the Development Team grow and improve a shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken in the next 24 hours to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint Goal. This daily opportunity to inspect and adapt will enable the Development Team to best tackle any unforeseen circumstances that might otherwise disrupt the team's progress.
- D. During the Daily Scrum the members of the Development Team will inform of problems that are hindering their progress, and for which they have no means to resolve. They will inform Steven as a Scrum Master, so he can remove the impediments and help the team be more productive.

Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The Development Team uses the Daily Scrum 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 Development Team will meet the Sprint Goal. Every day, the Development Team 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.
NEW QUESTION 105
