Which Scrum event creates transparency by allowing the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvement?
Answer: Sprint Retrospective
The Sprint Retrospective is explicitly designed for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and plan improvements for the next Sprint.
A newly formed Scrum Team asks how to run their first Sprint Planning. What is the correct first step?
Answer: Select items from the Product Backlog that align with the Sprint Goal
Sprint Planning begins with the Scrum Team collaboratively determining a Sprint Goal and selecting Product Backlog Items that contribute to it.
The Product Owner does not attend the Sprint Review. What is the impact?
Answer: The Sprint Review can still proceed without the Product Owner
While the Product Owner's absence is undesirable, the Sprint Review can proceed; however, key decisions about the Product Backlog may be deferred.
What is the relationship between the Sprint Goal and the Sprint Backlog Items?
Answer: Sprint Backlog Items are selected to achieve the Sprint Goal
Sprint Backlog Items are chosen because they contribute to achieving the Sprint Goal established during Sprint Planning.
Which of the following is NOT a Scrum event?
Answer: Backlog Refinement
Backlog Refinement is an ongoing activity, not a formal Scrum event; the five official Scrum events are the Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.
During Sprint Planning, the Development Team is unsure how to complete a complex item. What should they do?
Answer: Select the item and plan only as much as they can to start
Developers can select items they are not fully certain about and plan just enough detail to get started, refining further during the Sprint.
How should the Scrum Master handle a situation where stakeholders try to assign tasks directly to developers during the Sprint?
Answer: Educate stakeholders on directing requests through the Product Owner
The Scrum Master protects the Development Team from external interference and educates stakeholders to route requests through the Product Owner.
