Scrum PSM I Exam Questions

Question 6 of 231

True or False: Scrum has a role called `Project Manager`.

True

False

Correct Answer: B

Scrum does not have a role called 'Project Manager.' In Scrum, the roles are specified as ScrumMaster, Product Owner, and Development Team. Although the responsibilities traditionally managed by a project manager (such as scope, time, and cost management) exist in a Scrum environment, they are distributed among the Scrum team roles rather than being centralized into a single 'Project Manager' role.

Question 7 of 231

What are two effective ways for the Scrum Team to make non-functional requirements visible? (Choose two.)

Put them on a separate list on the Scrum board, available for all to see.

Add them to the Product Backlog to ensure transparency.

Run the integration and regression tests before the end of the Sprint, and capture the open work for the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint.

Add them to the definition of ג€Doneג€ so the work is taken care of every Sprint.

Correct Answer: B, D

Non-functional requirements should be visible and transparent to the entire Scrum Team and stakeholders. Adding them to the Product Backlog ensures transparency as the Product Backlog is a constantly updated and visible artifact that everyone can see. This helps to keep track of non-functional requirements and their priorities. Including non-functional requirements in the definition of 'Done' ensures that these requirements are addressed during each sprint and not overlooked, maintaining the product’s quality consistently.

Question 8 of 231

How much time is required after a Sprint to prepare for the next Sprint?

The break between Sprints is time-boxed to 1 week for 30 day Sprints, and usually less for shorter sprints.

Enough time for the requirements for the next Sprint to be determined and documented.

Enough time for the Development team to finish the testing from the last Sprint.

None. A new Sprint starts immediately following the end of the previous Sprint.

All of the above are allowed depending on the situation.

Correct Answer: D

In Scrum, a new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint. There is no break required between Sprints. This continuous flow is essential to maintaining the momentum and ensuring that work progresses smoothly. The Sprint Planning meeting, which initiates the next Sprint, begins right after the previous Sprint ends.

Question 9 of 231

During Sprint Planning the Product Owner and the Developers are unable to reach an understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Developers are unable to determine how many Product Backlog items they can forecast for the upcoming Sprint. However, the Product Owner and the
Developers are able to agree on a Sprint Goal.
Which of the following actions should the Scrum Master support? (Choose two.)

Cancel the Sprint. Send the entire team to an advanced Scrum training and then start a new Sprint.

Forecast the Product Backlog items that are most likely to meet the Sprint Goal and create the Sprint Backlog. Conclude Sprint Planning and start the development work. Continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.

Continue the Sprint Planning event past its timebox until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well enough understood for the Developers to make a complete forecast. Then start the Sprint.

During the next Sprint Retrospective discuss why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.

Ask everyone to take as much time as needed to analyze the Product Backlog first, and then reconvene another Sprint Planning meeting.

Correct Answer: B, D

In a situation where the Product Owner and Developers cannot fully understand the highest order Product Backlog items, two primary actions should be taken. First, the team should forecast the items most likely to meet the Sprint Goal and begin development work. This allows progress to start while further decomposing and analyzing items during the Sprint as needed. Second, it is important to discuss why this issue occurred during the next Sprint Retrospective to identify any process improvements or changes needed to prevent a recurrence. These actions ensure the team can proceed with the Sprint while also addressing any underlying issues in their planning process.

Question 10 of 231

Who can cancel a Sprint?

The Scrum Team.

The Scrum Master.

The Product Owner.

The Stakeholders.

Correct Answer: C

The Product Owner is the only person who has the authority to cancel a Sprint if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. This can happen if there is a change in direction or objectives that makes the current work in the Sprint no longer valuable. The Scrum Master, the Scrum Team, and the Stakeholders do not have the authority to cancel a Sprint.
