Who is responsible for conducting the Daily Scrum?
Answer: The Development Team, who self-organizes and owns the meeting
The Daily Scrum is owned and conducted by the Development Team. The Scrum Master ensures the event takes place and that it stays within the 15-minute timebox, but the team runs it themselves as part of self-organization.
What is the primary purpose of the Sprint Review?
Answer: To inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog based on feedback
The Sprint Review is an inspect-and-adapt event focused on the product Increment. Stakeholders and the Scrum Team collaborate to review what was built and update the Product Backlog to reflect new insights or priorities.
A new Scrum Master joins a team and notices the Development Team always asks the Product Owner which task to work on next. What should the Scrum Master do?
Answer: Coach the Development Team toward self-organization and managing their own work
Self-organization is a core Scrum value. The Scrum Master's role is to coach and guide teams toward this principle, helping them take ownership of their work rather than depending on the Product Owner or others for direction.
When does a Sprint end?
Answer: At the timebox end, regardless of whether the work is complete
Sprints are fixed-length timeboxes and always end at their scheduled conclusion. Work that is not completed is returned to the Product Backlog for re-ordering; the Sprint does not extend to accommodate unfinished items.
Which of the following best describes the role of the Product Owner in Sprint Planning?
Answer: Presenting the highest-priority Product Backlog items and clarifying their intent
In Sprint Planning, the Product Owner presents and clarifies the top-priority Product Backlog items and the desired Sprint Goal. The Development Team decides how to accomplish the work — the Product Owner does not prescribe the implementation approach.
What happens to undone work at the end of a Sprint?
Answer: It is returned to the Product Backlog and re-ordered by the Product Owner
Incomplete Product Backlog items are never automatically moved to the next Sprint. They are returned to the Product Backlog where the Product Owner re-evaluates their priority and may choose to include them in a future Sprint.
