Scrum Quiz Scrum is an agile project management framework that helps teams structure and manages their work through a set of values, principles, and practices. Much like a rugby team (where it gets its name) training for the big game, scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, self-organize while working on a problem, and reflect on their wins and losses to continuously improve.

Detailed enough to understand users. 2. End-to-end system. 3. Usable. 4. A system that can store user data. The 2020 Scrum Guide defines an increment as ”a concrete stepping stone toward the product goal. Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together. To provide value, the Increment must be usable…The entire scrum team is accountable for creating a valuable, useful Increment for every Sprint”. In scrum, a product increment is whatever you previously built, plus anything new you just finished in the latest sprint, all integrated, tested, and ready to be delivered or deployed. Without a usable product increment, development teams are delaying the delivery of value and are missing opportunities to get real user feedback and adapt the product to ensure customer satisfaction. On the other hand, incremental releases allow for fast feedback, quicker innovation, continuous improvement, rapid adaptation to change, and more delighted customers. 2 / 6 2. How does the Scrum Master help the Product Owner? Select all that apply. 1. Understand product planning in an empirical environment. 2. Introduce cutting-edge development practices. 3. Lead and coach the organization in its Scrum adoption. 4. Find techniques for effective Product Backlog management. 5. Facilitate Scrum events as requested or needed. The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including: Ensuring that everyone on the Scrum Team understands well the goal, scope, and product domain; Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog management; Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items; Understanding product planning in an empirical environment; Ensuring the Product Owner knows how to arrange the Product Backlog to maximize value; Understanding and practicing agility; Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed. 3 / 6 3. Reduce Technical Debt is the accountability of (select all that apply): 1. Product Owner 2. Scrum Team 3. Project Manager 4. Developers 5. Scrum Master According to the Scrum Guide, “The Development Team is responsible for all estimates”. The Scrum Guide states that the Scrum framework is designed to deliver products of the highest possible value. It also states that “the Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the Development Team” (guide). For the Product Owner to be able to decide what Product Backlog Items will maximize the value, he or she has to take into account what it will cost to deliver these items. We already concluded that Scrum is a framework that is suited for complex work. We also concluded that in this domain the best estimates are made by those that perform the actual work. The Scrum Guide agrees and is very clear on this: “The Development Team is responsible for all estimates. The Product Owner may influence the Development Team by helping it understand and select trade-offs, but the people who will perform the work make the final estimate.” 4 / 6 4. As far as the responsibility for a Daily Scrum is concerned, a Scrum Master MUST: 1. Facilitate the Daily Scrum. 2. Timebox the Daily Scrum everyday. 3. None of the above. 4. Ensure that the Developers have the Daily Scrum. The Scrum Master ensures that the meeting happens, but the Developers are responsible for conducting the Daily Scrum. The Scrum Master teaches them to keep the Daily Scrum within the 15-minute time-box. The Daily Scrum is an internal meeting for the Scrum Team. If others are present, the Scrum Master ensures that they do not disrupt the meeting. 5 / 6 5. An Increment is: (Select all that apply) 1. An elapsed time that the Scrum Team spends on creating the product. 2. The user interface of a product. 3. Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together. 4. That satisfies the end User. In scrum, a product increment is whatever you previously built, plus anything new you just finished in the latest sprint, all integrated, tested, and ready to be delivered or deployed. Without a usable product increment, development teams are delaying the delivery of value and are missing opportunities to get real user feedback and adapt the product to ensure customer satisfaction. On the other hand, incremental releases allow for fast feedback, quicker innovation, continuous improvement, rapid adaptation to change, and more delighted customers. 6 / 6 6. How frequently should Scrum users inspect Scrum Artifacts and progress toward a Sprint Goal? 1. Frequently, it should not get in the way of the work. 2. On a need-to basis. 3. After the Daily Scrum. 4. At the Sprint Review. 5. As frequently as possible. Scrum users must frequently inspect Scrum artifacts and progress toward a Sprint Goal to detect undesirable variances. However, the frequency of their inspection should not affect their work. Inspections are most beneficial when diligently performed by skilled inspectors at the point of work.
