Question 60

Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The

Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach.

A good way to continue is:

    Correct Answer: D

    When velocity is lower than projected, it's crucial to maintain transparency and adapt plans accordingly. It is not advisable to compromise on quality or inflate estimates. The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for additional Release Sprints to realistically complete the remaining work. This maintains the project's integrity and aligns with Scrum principles of being transparent and adaptive.

Discussion
derrick123Option: A

The Development Team informs Marian that the progress she has perceived to date is not correct. The Increment is not releasable. They give Marian their estimate of the effort it would take to get the past work “Done,” and suggest doing that work first before proceeding with new features. In the end, it is Marian’s call to continue the project or to cancel.

NicoletBolivarOption: A

The answer should not be letter C since as per Scrum Guide, the Scrum Master cannot cancel a Sprint just the Product Owner have the right.

I think that the correct answer doesn't in the propoositions and the original exam has 6 and 6 is the correct answer

JeremieOption: A

Isn't it answer C instead of A ? Since the development team has done work at 90% done they have not respected the Scrum rules. As per Scrum the work has to meet the definition of done (= be 100% done). Also velocity has to be calculated based on past sprints, not estimated.

I think there is no correct answer in this question.

profitchannelOption: C

"A" cannot be correct, since work not done is not added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, but to the Product Backlog and re-evaluated for the next Sprint.

AmaksOption: A

A is the correct answer

DALY_AY

This is the correct answer "The Development Team informs Marian that the progress she has perceived to date is not correct. The Increment is not releasable. They give Marian their estimate of the effort it would take to get the past work "Done," and suggest doing that work first before proceeding with new features. In the end, it is Marian's call to continue the project or to cancel. " This answer doesn't exist in the propositions and the original exam has 6 answers.

EricSonOption: C

It shouldn’t be A - If a Product Backlog item does not meet the Definition of Done, it cannot be released or even presented at the Sprint Review. Instead, it returns to the Product Backlog for future consideration.

BKaisOption: C

There is no Release Sprint in Scrum !!! becarefull ! It's not D

okayheyOption: D

D! A- no such thing as "as dinner as possible", the definition of done is absolute, it's either dinner or not. Work that isn't done after a sprint goes back into the Product backlog to be reestimated B- changing the team is not recommended, especially not mid-sprint C- it's not up to the Scrum master to cancel the project, nor the sprint. Canceling the sprint is up to the PO. The Scrum guide doesn't mention who can cancel the project, but I assume the stakeholders.

okayhey

Done* not dinner....

CarlosTheBoldestOption: D

Should be d instead of A. You cannot release things "as much done as possible".

emelba

none of the above are correct

MikkopOption: D

ChatGTP answer: In this scenario, the Development Team has noticed that their velocity of 13, with 90% of work done, is below the targeted sustained velocity of 17. It's essential to maintain transparency, open communication, and a realistic approach to meeting the project's goals. Instead of compromising quality or adding extra personnel, it's more appropriate to remind the Product Owner (Marian) that additional Release Sprints may be necessary to complete the remaining work. This approach ensures the project maintains integrity, and the Development Team does not feel pressured to compromise their work or make unrealistic promises.

Jyoti1010Option: A

A looks most promising.C and D can’t be the right option for sure.

debbyiyOption: D

The correct answer is d In this situation, the Development Team is not able to achieve the projected velocity of 17 based on the initial plan. The correct approach is to address this reality and work with the Product Owner (Marian) to adjust expectations. By reminding Marian to find funding for additional Release Sprints, the team acknowledges the need for more time to complete the remaining work. This approach respects the principles of transparency and collaboration in Scrum, allowing the team to work realistically toward the project's success.
