How much time is required after a Sprint to prepare for the next Sprint?
Correct Answer: D
The correct answer is D, because there is no gap between Sprints in Scrum. The Scrum Guide states that "a new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint." Therefore, there is no time required after a Sprint to prepare for the next Sprint.
Question 12
Which does a self-organizing Development Team choose?
Correct Answer: B
According to the Scrum Guide, a self-organizing Development Team chooses how to best accomplish its work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. The other options are not choices that a self-organizing Development Team makes, as they are either determined by the Scrum framework (such as Sprint length and Product Backlog ordering) or by collaboration with other roles (such as stakeholders for the Sprint Review and when to release).
Question 13
Which topics should be discussed in the Sprint Review? (Choose the best answer.)
Correct Answer: D
Question 14
For which of the following is the Scrum Master responsible? (choose the best answer)
Correct Answer: A
According to the Scrum Guide, the Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide1. Scrum Masters do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values1. The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum2. They do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the organization while serving the Scrum Team as well as the larger organization2. Option B is incorrect because keeping track of resource allocation is not a responsibility of the Scrum Master. The Scrum Master does not manage or control the resources of the Scrum Team or the organization. The Scrum Team is self-organizing and responsible for managing its own work within a Sprint1. Option C is incorrect because managing the performance of the Scrum Team is not a responsibility of the Scrum Master. The Scrum Master does not evaluate or appraise the performance of the Development Team or the Product Owner. The Scrum Master serves the Development Team by coaching them on self-organization and cross-functionality, and serves the Product Owner by ensuring that goals, scope, and product domain are understood by everyone on the Scrum Team1. Option D is incorrect because the meetings and the objectives that a Scrum Team sets for itself are not a responsibility of the Scrum Master. The Scrum Master does not dictate or prescribe what meetings or objectives a Scrum Team should have. The Scrum Master facilitates the Scrum Events as requested or needed, and ensures that they are positive, productive, and kept within the time-box1.
Question 15
Which technique is the best way the Scrum Master can ensure that the Development Team communicates effectively with the Product Owner?
