Which two things should the Scrum Team do during the first Sprint? (choose the best two answers)
Correct Answer: B,C
According to the Scrum Guide, two things that the Scrum Team should do during the first Sprint are building at least one piece of valuable functionality and creating at least one valuable, useful Increment. These are the goals of every Sprint, regardless of its order. The other options are not things that the Scrum Team should do during the first Sprint, as they are either out of scope (such as defining major product features and a release plan architecture or making a plan for the rest of the project) or unnecessary (such as analyzing, describing, and documenting requirements for subsequent Sprints).
PSM-I Exam Question 97
Which technique is the best way the Scrum Master can ensure that the Development Team communicates effectively with the Product Owner?
Correct Answer: A
The correct answer is A, because the best way the Scrum Master can ensure that the Development Team communicates effectively with the Product Owner is to monitor communications between them and facilitate direct collaboration. The Scrum Guide states that "the Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including ... facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed." Therefore, the Scrum Master should help the Development Team and the Product Owner interact regularly and productively during the Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective events.
PSM-I Exam Question 98
One of the Scrum events is the Daily Scrum. What are two intended outcomes of the Daily Scrum? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: A,E
According to the Scrum Guide, two intended outcomes of the Daily Scrum are a shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken next to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint goal, and new impediments for the Scrum Master to take care of. The other options are not intended outcomes of the Daily Scrum, as they are either irrelevant (such as updating a Scrum board) or inappropriate (such as providing an update or a status report).
PSM-I Exam Question 99
During a Sprint Retrospective, for what is the Product Owner responsible?
Correct Answer: A
According to the Scrum Guide 1 , the Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint. The Sprint Retrospective occurs after the Sprint Review and prior to the next Sprint Planning. The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase quality and effectiveness. The Product Owner is part of the Scrum Team and should participate as a Scrum Team member in the Sprint Retrospective. References: Scrum Guide
PSM-I Exam Question 100
At the end of a Sprint Product Backlog item worked on during the Sprint does not meet the definition of "Done". What two things should happen with the undone Product Backlog item? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: B,D
According to the Scrum Guide 1 , the definition of "Done" is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. The definition guides the Development Team in creating a "Done" Increment. The definition of "Done" is created by the development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization). The definition of "Done" may vary significantly per Scrum Team, depending on the context. One aspect of Scrum Teams inspecting how they work toward their Product Goal is that they improve their definition of "Done" over time. Therefore, if a Product Backlog item worked on during the Sprint does not meet the definition of "Done", two things that should happen with the undone Product Backlog item are: * Put it on the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to decide what to do with it, as they are accountable for effective Product Backlog management and ordering. * Do not include the item in the Increment this Sprint, as it does not meet the quality standards and may compromise value. The other options are not appropriate, as they may compromise transparency, inspection, or adaptation. References: Scrum Guide
