Question 29

The Scrum Framework defines rules or guidelines for documentation?
True
False

Answer 29

False

Scrum is a process framework that has been used to manage work on complex products since the early 1990s. Scrum is not a process, technique, or definitive method. Rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques. Scrum makes clear the relative efficacy of your product management and work techniques so that you can continuously improve the product, the team, and the working environment.

Question 30

1. No. Documentation is generally considered a wast of time for experienced teams.
2. Yes, when the PO will be unavailable for extended perios of time
3. Yes when the Product Team has less than ten people.

Answer 30

1

In Agile : Working Software Over Comprehensive Documentation

Historically, enormous amounts of time were spent on documenting the product for development and ultimate delivery. Technical specifications, technical requirements, technical prospectus, interface design documents, test plans, documentation plans, and approvals required for each. The list was extensive and was a cause for the long delays in development. Agile does not eliminate documentation, but it streamlines it in a form that gives the developer what is needed to do the work.

In Scrum : We must put all the products requirements in the Product Backlog.

Question 31

Lean thinking is a fundamental of the Scrum Framework.
True
False

Answer 31

True

Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed. Lean thinking reduces waste and focuses on the essentials.
