According to the Scrum Guide, the Product Owner has the final say on the order of the Product Backlog, as he or she is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Development Team. The other roles do not have this authority, although they may provide input and suggestions to the Product Owner.
Question 2
Which of these may a Development Team deliver at the end of a Sprint?
Options:
A.
Failing unit tests, to identify acceptance tests for the next Sprint.
B.
An increment of software with minor known bugs in it.
C.
An increment of working software that is “done”.
D.
A single document, if that is what the Scrum Master asked for.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C, because a Development Team should deliver an increment of working software that is “done” by the end of a Sprint. The Scrum Guide states that “the Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and the value of the increments of all previous Sprints. At the end of a Sprint, the new Increment must be ‘Done,’ which means it must be in useable condition and meet the Scrum Team’s definition of ‘Done’.”
Question 3
Developers are self-managing, which of the following do they manage? (choose the best answer)
Options:
A.
When lo release, based on this progress.
B.
Stakeholders for the Sprint Review
C.
Sprint Backlog.
D.
Sprint length
E.
Product Backlog ordering
Answer:
C
Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide, Developers are self-managing, which means that they manage their own Sprint Backlog. They decide how to organize their work and collaborate effectively to deliver a valuable Increment that meets the Definition of Done and the Sprint Goal. The other options are not valid, as they imply that Developers manage things that are either determined by the Scrum framework (such as Sprint length), by collaboration with other roles (such as when to release or stakeholders for the Sprint Review), or by the Product Owner (such as Product Backlog ordering).
