NEW QUESTION 60
Steven, a Scrum Master, has been hired by an organization that is new to Scrum. He has been invited to meet the IT and product management team to kick-off the project. During the meeting the Product Owner asks how many Sprints will be needed to address the entire architecture and infrastructure before working on the features for the new product.
What are the two best responses for Steven to explain how such work is handled in Scrum? (Choose two.)
- A. You coach the Product Owner and Development Team to add this work to Product Backlog to ensure transparency, have the Development Team estimate the work and do this in early Sprints while also creating some business functionality in the early Sprints.
- B. You confirm that architecture and infrastructure is needed before starting on business functionality but the estimated budget will be difficult to estimate. You suggest that the first Sprint will be dedicated towards building the technical foundation in order to get an accurate estimation for any additional budget and time required.
- C. You explain that product management should not worry about technical solutions. You inform them that the developers will work with the IT department when needed and keep the Product Owner updated on additional time required for each Sprint. The additional effort will be added to the top of the Sprint Backlog before Sprint Planning.
- D. You explain that it is more effective when architecture and infrastructure emerge alongside the development of business functionality. The additional advantage is that business value is created more quickly and earlier.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
When working on complex problems in complex environments, it is difficult to fully predict all future needs and the best solutions will emerge as the work is being performed.

The highest priority of agility is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Because the Development Team is the one doing the work and increments must meet performance standards, they can expand their Definition of Done to include more stringent criteria for higher quality.
NEW QUESTION 64
When technical debt occurs, the system will become more unstable as development progresses and code is added resulting in future work being slowed down.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
Technical debt is any shortcomings in the code. It is a natural by-product of software development (unavoidable) and can at best be managed. If neglected, it will compound and have a negative effect on the team's ability to the deliver value. A team can have an artificially high velocity by taking shortcuts or introducing technical debt into the system. This can give a false assumption about the current state of the product. It can look good on the surface but underneath can be a mess.

NEW QUESTION 66
During a Product Backlog refinement meeting, the Product Owner introduces a business objective that will be worked on for the next several Sprints. The Product Owner envisions several key features necessary to be delivered in order to meet the business objective. As the features will be using sensitive user data it will be subjected to external security audits. These non-functional security requirements were not applicable to previous Increments.
What are two good ways the Development Team can handle these high-security concerns? (Choose two.)
- A. They should be handled in a parallel Sprint by a separate security team so that security can be resolved through application enhancements without impacting the functional development.
- B. During the Sprint Retrospective, the Development Team assesses how to add these expectations to their Definition of Done so every future Increment will meet these security requirements. If needed they can work with external specialists to better understand the requirements.
- C. They are added to the Product Backlog and addressed throughout the next Sprints, combined with creating the business functionality in those Sprints, no matter how small the business functionality.
- D. A complete list of security-related Product Backlog items needs to be created before starting a new Sprint.

NEW QUESTION 73
You have a Scrum Team that has been working together for over a year. The Development Team consists of eleven members who rarely collaborate and work within their functional boundaries. There are no Sprint Goals and most of the items in the Sprint Backlog are unrelated. The Scrum Team has concluded that it is not possible to create Sprint Goals based on the items in the Product Backlog.
What might explain why the Scrum Team is finding it difficult to craft Sprint Goals? (Choose all that apply.)
- A. The Product Owner is not empowered to make decisions about items in the Product Backlog nor how they are ordered.
- B. The Sprints are too long.
- C. The Product Owner doesn't set objectives that he/she wants to achieve with upcoming Sprints.
- D. The Development Team is too big.
- E. Scrum might not be the best framework for this team.
Answer: A,C,E
Explanation:
Many people misinterpret the Scrum Guide as stating the Development Team size is limited to 3-9 members. In reality, it only states that there is inherent risk attached to having less than 3 members and more than 9 members. As the number of members increases, the lines of communication also increase. This can be calculated using the Group intercommunication formula: n(n − 1) / 2 where n is the number of members. Some teams are able to handle the risk and "synergize" whereas others might struggle. Saying that, the relationship between defining a Sprint Goal and Development Team size is unclear.
But the relationship between the ordering of the Product Backlog, the PO having clear objectives, and the Sprint Goal are direct. The Product Owner typically comes to the Sprint Planning with a business objective in mind and Product Backlog items related to the business objective. After deciding what can be done for the upcoming Sprint, the Scrum Team will craft a Sprint Goal that would be met through the implementation of the items. This is not dependent on the size of the team nor length of the Sprint.
Scrum is also a framework that's fit for purpose. Some projects/products are not fit for Scrum... or, better stated, Scrum is not suitable for all projects/products.
