During a Sprint Review, the Scrum Team presents the work completed in the Sprint. Key stakeholders are present and provide feedback. What is the primary purpose of this event?
Answer: To inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations to the Product Backlog.
According to the Scrum Guide, the primary purpose of the Sprint Review is to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog. It is a working session where the Scrum Team and stakeholders collaborate on what to do next, which may result in adjustments to the Product Backlog.
A Scrum Team is in Sprint Planning. They have collaborated on a Sprint Goal. What are the other two essential outputs of the Sprint Planning event?
Answer: The selected Product Backlog Items for the Sprint and a plan for how to deliver them.
The Scrum Guide states that the Sprint Backlog is composed of the Sprint Goal (the 'why'), the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint (the 'what'), and an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (the 'how'). These three components are the output of Sprint Planning.
Which Scrum artifact has the Product Goal as its commitment, providing a long-term objective for the Scrum Team to plan against?
Answer: The Product Backlog
The Scrum Guide explicitly links each artifact to a commitment. The commitment for the Product Backlog is the Product Goal. The Product Goal describes a future state of the product and serves as a target for the Scrum Team.
A Product Backlog Item cannot be considered part of the Increment until it meets a specific quality standard agreed upon by the Scrum Team. What is this formal description of the state of the Increment called?
Answer: The Definition of Done
The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. It provides a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete. If a Product Backlog item does not meet the Definition of Done, it cannot be released or even presented at the Sprint Review.
What is the main purpose of the Daily Scrum?
Answer: For the Developers to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog.
The Scrum Guide defines the purpose of the Daily Scrum as an opportunity for the Developers to inspect their progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary. It is a planning event for the Developers, not a status meeting for others.
A Product Owner is managing a list of all desired features, functions, requirements, enhancements, and fixes for a product. This emergent, ordered list is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team. What is this artifact called?
Answer: The Product Backlog
The Product Backlog is the single source of work for the Scrum Team. It is an emergent, ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. The Product Owner is responsible for its content, availability, and ordering.
