the team approach guarantees exact results

Q

What is the best statement about building a Product Backlog?
a) All User Stories in the Product Backlog should be very small and organised so that those with the

structure

118
Q

User Stories in the Product Backlog should correspond to the INVEST acronym. Among other things, they
should be independent of each other. What is the best explanation with which you would try to convince
a new Product Owner of the meaningfulness of this requirement?
a) The closer the individual User Stories are intertwined, the more difficult it becomes for the
development team to implement them.
b) Closely intertwined User Stories indicate a poorly structured Product Backlog.
c) Tightly intertwined User Stories are usually difficult to understand for the development team.
d) Tightly intertwined User Stories complicate the estimation of the individual User Stories and make
prioritisation impossible in extreme cases. The latter is particularly disadvantageous if the User
Stories in the Product Backlog are to be prioritised according to their benefits in order to achieve
the best possible Return on Investment (ROI)

and expected customer satisfaction.

whether a Product Backlog element is ready for processing.

128
Q

Which statement should a Product Owner most likely agree with?
a) The Product Backlog should always have the necessary level of detail (Theme – Epic – User Story).
The elements in the Sprint Backlog must be broken down into technical tasks by the development
team.
b) The Product Owner is responsible for the results of the correct content and structure of the
Product Backlog. By contrast, the development team prioritises what is included in the Sprint
Backlog.
c) The Product Backlog consists of User Stories with different levels of detail. This ensures that all
elements of the Product Backlog can be assigned an exact size of Story Points or Ideal Time.
d) The Development Team usually has to break down the components of the Sprint Backlog into
single technical tasks so that they can be better planned in the Sprint. Therefore, the Product
Owner should ensure that the product Backlog is prioritised.

The elements in the Sprint Backlog must be broken down into technical tasks by the development
team.

129
Q

Which combination of statements contains the best statement in terms of Scrum?
a) One way to measure the profitability of a product is to calculate the Return on Investment (ROI).
Therefore, an ROI assessment should be carried out for each User Story.
b) Consideration regarding the Return on Investment (ROI) can hardly be implemented sensibly for
any fine-grained User Story. Therefore, the ROI should ideally only be calculated for larger/more
complex User Stories (Epic or Theme) and used to prioritise the Product Backlog.
c) The Return on Invest (ROI) helps to identify the break-even point. Every Product Owner must keep
an eye on this in order to control the further development of his product.
d) The Return on Investment (ROI) should ideally be calculated at the release level, especially when it
comes to major releases.
