Question 2 of 5

Steven is a Scrum Master asked to assist in creating five new Scrum Teams that will be working to build a highly anticipated product. He talks with them about the importance of being able to integrate their Increments by the end of their Sprints. This includes the first Sprints. The product is very important to both the end users and the organization.
Of the choices raised by future team members, what would Steven encourage?

A.Each Scrum Team delivers Increments in its own code branch. After UAT is performed at the Sprint Review, the code branch is isolated until enough Increments are considered acceptable. All code branches will then be merged during the release phase.

B.Each Scrum Team delivers functionality at the end of each Sprint. New Product Backlog items will then be added to the next Sprint Backlog to integrate their functionality with the other teams to create a unified Increment.

C.All Scrum Teams agree on a mutual understanding of done' that defines all work necessary to deliver a potentially shippable Increment that includes all previous Increments delivered for the product.'

D.Wait until enough of the infrastructure and architecture is in place before starting the first Sprints. This will increase the success of delivering integrated Increments in Sprint 1.

Question 4 of 5

4. The director of engineering in your organization always stresses the importance of meeting deadlines in order for the engineering department to be seen as a reliable source for the product management department. The director has calculated that the team’s velocity needs to increase an additional 15% to meet the commitment he made to management for the release date of the product.
He asks Steven, the team’s Scrum Master, to increase his team’s velocity. Which would be the best two responses for Steven to take? (Choose two.)

A.He explains how a team uses the velocity of a Sprint primarily to forecast work for the next Sprint, not to perfectly predict future productivity. He refers the director to the Product Owner for all information concerning the progress ofdevelopment.

B.He informs the director of organizational impediments he is aware of that prevent the team from being more productive. He suggests collaborating with him on how to remove these impediments.

C.He educates his director how it is part of a team’s self-organization to improve velocity. He invites the director to the next Sprint Retrospective to brainstorm on how they can improve.

D.He helps the director understand that it typically takes a few Sprints for a team to gradually increase the velocity up to the level expected. Meanwhile he presents this to the team as a challenge and a company goal, leaving it however upto them to figure out exactly how to achieve this.

E.He tells the director that this is not his responsibility in Scrum. He tells the director to work with the Product Owner to check whether the estimates on the Product Backlog are being respected during implementation.
