A Scrum Team has been together for six months. The Scrum Master suggests changing the Sprint length from two weeks to one week. What is the most important consideration?
Answer: Whether the overhead of Scrum events will be proportionally too high for the value delivered
Shortening Sprints increases the frequency of Scrum events, so the team should weigh the increased overhead against the benefit of more frequent feedback.
During Sprint Planning, the team forecasts 30 story points but historically only delivers 20 per Sprint. What should happen?
Answer: The team should select work based on their realistic capacity and past velocity
Teams should use their historical velocity as a guide when forecasting work, selecting only as much as they can realistically complete.
What is the primary purpose of the Sprint Goal?
Answer: To give the Sprint a single objective that provides focus and flexibility
The Sprint Goal provides cohesion and focus, allowing the team flexibility in how they achieve it while maintaining a clear purpose.
Stakeholders are invited to which Scrum event to inspect the Increment and provide feedback?
Answer: Sprint Review
The Sprint Review is the event where stakeholders are invited to inspect the Increment and collaborate on what to do next.
A Scrum Team is struggling with the Sprint Retrospective feeling repetitive and unproductive. Which technique could BEST help?
Answer: Rotate facilitation formats such as Start-Stop-Continue, 4Ls, or Sailboat
Using varied Retrospective formats keeps the ceremony engaging and can surface different types of insights each Sprint.
According to Scrum, who attends the Sprint Retrospective?
Answer: The entire Scrum Team (Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers)
The Sprint Retrospective is attended by the entire Scrum Team — Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers.
A team finds that their Sprint Reviews are unproductive because stakeholders don't understand what was built. What should the Scrum Team do differently?
Answer: Demo working software and frame the Increment in terms of business value and outcomes
Demonstrating working software and framing results in terms of business outcomes makes Sprint Reviews more meaningful for stakeholders.
