Question 1 of 5

1. A new Product Owner has joined an existing Scrum Team that has been working together for eight Sprints. The Development Team has grown to have a good understanding of the functionality and business for the product they have been building. The Product Owner, being new to the company, is unsure about his responsibilities.
As a Scrum Master explain what two acceptable ways of helping the Product Owner would be. (Choose two.)

A.You advise the Product Owner to start building a good relationship with the stakeholders of the product. Ongoing interaction with them is important to regularly align with changing organizational or market expectations. The ProductOwner is also expected to invite the right stakeholders to the Sprint Review meeting.

B.You inform the Product Owner that, in today’s highly competitive markets, it is important that the Development Team is updated on changing business priorities on a daily basis. The Daily Scrum allows the Development Team to adapt tothe changes in scope without delay.

C.You tell the Product Owner to make sure that there are no ambiguities or possible misunderstandings in the items on the Product Backlog when they are handed over to the Development Team. This is best done by capturing thefunctional requirements during an analysis phase, resulting in documents that are considered as the working product of such analysis Sprints.

D.You advise the Product Owner to rely on the Development Team and the stakeholders to formulate the Product Backlog, as they are the ones most knowledgeable. By asking questions and working with them the Product Owner willquickly be up to speed.

2. At the Sprint Planning, the Development Team is not able to forecast the number of Product Backlog items it can do in the upcoming Sprint due to unclear requirements. The Product Owner, however, was able to clearly define the business objective he hopes to achieve in the Sprint.
Which of the following two actions would you support? (Choose two.)

A.The Development Team forecasts the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the business objective and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the time- box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over,they start implementation and continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.

B.If all agree they can extend the Sprint Planning until the Development Team can forecast enough Product Backlog items before starting the implementation.

C.Allow the Development Team members as much time as needed to review the Product Backlog items and reconvene with the Product Owner when they are confident enough to make a forecast for the Sprint.

D.They discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to occur again.
