✍️ Sample SCRUM Questions & Answers

1. What happens to a Scrum event if its purpose is achieved before the timebox ends?

✓ The event can end early

Events can end as soon as their purpose is achieved; the timebox is a maximum, not a minimum.

2. How does refinement support the empirical pillar of transparency?

✓ It clarifies items so the work is well understood

Clear, refined items make the backlog transparent and easier to plan against.

3. An organization renames roles and drops the Retrospective but calls it Scrum. Theory says this is what?

✓ Not Scrum, since the framework is immutable

Scrum's framework is immutable; while you can implement only parts, the result is not Scrum.

4. Which of the following best describes the Product Goal's relationship to the other Scrum artifacts and commitments?

✓ It is a long-term objective that gives context to the Product Backlog and guides the creation of Sprint Goals.

The Product Goal is the long-term objective for the Scrum Team and resides in the Product Backlog, providing context and a target to plan against. Each Sprint Goal is a stepping stone toward the Product Goal. The Product Goal guides the ordering of the Product Backlog and the purpose of each Sprint, it is not simply a sum of Sprint Goals or a fixed contract.

5. When would a Sprint typically be cancelled?

✓ When the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete

A Sprint may be cancelled if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete.

6. During a Sprint, the Product Owner asks the Developers to add a new high-priority item mid-Sprint. What is the correct response?

✓ Negotiate scope; the Sprint Backlog can be renegotiated with the Developers as more is learned

The Sprint Backlog scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Developers as needed, without endangering the Sprint Goal.
