Trusted - Agile : Scrum Framwork Flashcards
The Product Owner is not available for some days during the sprint. What should the Scrum Master do?
a.
Continue working without any requirement clarifications.
b.
Encourage the team to make decisions to the best of their knowledge and abilities. Catch up later with the Product Owner.
c.
Stop the development until the Product Owner is available.
d.
Reschedule the Sprint to align with the Product Owner’s availability.
A Scrum Team should be self-organizing and make decisions to keep the development going in the absence of the Product Owner. Later, they can catch up with the Product Owner.
What is the difference between PERT and CPM?
a.
CPM is a visual representation of the project schedule while PERT uses mathematical formulae
b.
CPM is only used for software development while PERT is used for construction projects
c.
PERT is a more modern approach to project management than CPM
d.
PERT includes uncertainty and risk in the schedule while CPM does not
PERT includes uncertainty and risk in the schedule by using probabilistic estimation
while
CPM uses deterministic estimation which assumes that each activity will take exactly the estimated time.
Therefore, PERT is more appropriate for projects with a high degree of uncertainty and risk.
A team member strongly argues for changing the definition of ‘done’ based on an external stakeholder’s feedback. How should the Scrum Master respond?
a.
Discuss the proposed change in the next team meeting and consider its impact on quality and consistency.
b.
Immediately reject the idea as ‘done’ must not be altered.
c.
Let the team member negotiate the change with the stakeholder directly.
d.
Accept the change without consulting the rest of the Development Team.
The definition of ‘done’ should be a consensus among the Scrum team. Any proposed changes should be open for team discussion and should not negatively impact the product’s quality.
In the middle of a sprint, a critical bug is found in the increment. What should the Development Team do?
a.
Discuss the matter with the Product Owner and integrate the bug fix into the sprint, if it is a priority.
b.
Ignore the bug until the sprint review.
c.
Stop the current sprint and start a new one focusing on the bug.
d.
Assign the bug to one team member and separate it from the sprint tasks.
When a crucial bug is discovered, it is important to urgently discuss its severity and required resolution with the Product Owner. It might lead to a change in the Sprint Backlog priority, which is completely acceptable in Scrum.
During Sprint Planning, the team feels the Product Owner’s user stories are incomplete. What is the most appropriate next step?
a.
Proceed with the Sprint as planned and fill in the gaps as they develop.
b.
The Product Owner should work closely with the team to refine the user stories.
c.
The team should complete the user stories for the Product Owner.
d.
Cancel the Sprint planning meeting and reschedule when the user stories are ready.
In the Scrum framework, continuous collaboration is key. The Product Owner should work alongside the team to refine and clarify user stories.
