QUESTION: 38

You have been hired as a Scrum Master for a company that has been doing business for over fifty years. In order to stay competitive, they have started an initiative to digitize their legacy systems. The company has several Scrum Teams working on different components that will be integrated to a single back office platform.

Your team is responsible for building the back office platform and integrating all other components. The Scrum Teams work in two week Sprints and are expected to deliver all functionality in six Sprints.
During development the requirement changes in the other components have been slowing down your team’s progress. Because of these changes, your team has estimated that they will not be able to deliver all expected work within the original timeframe. The Scrum Teams working on the other components confirm that they are still on track to meet the expected delivery date. The program manager in charge of the digitization initiative is upset and angry with your team.

As a Scrum Master, what could you do to help the Product Owner?

You suggest working with the program manager and the other teams on the ordering and the value of your team’s open Product Backlog items to redefine the possible delivery date.
You shorten your team’s Sprints to be ready sooner.
You remove all items from the Product Backlog for which development is forecasted to be beyond the expected date. These are likely to be low value anyhow.

QUESTION: 39

Steven is a Scrum Master for three different teams building a single product from the same Product Backlog. Development Team members from each team have approached Steven complaining that their teams need Nicole, an external specialist, to commit full time for their next Sprint.
Which three acceptable solutions would Steven consider? (Choose three.)

For Sprints that require Nicole’s expertise for more than one team, combine the teams into one and separate when they no longer need to share her services.
Investigate whether applying additional techniques or frameworks for scaling Scrum would be appropriate for this product team in the future, since you have multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, with dependencies between the teams.
People from the Development Teams with an interest in Nicole’s domain could volunteer to take on this work in their respective teams.
Ask Nicole for a plan to hire and train additional people in her domain, and in the meantime work with the Product Owner and Development Teams to re-prioritize the work so that tasks not depending on Nicole can be done first.
Have the Development Team re-order the Product Backlog so Nicole can serve one team full-time in a Sprint.
Create a team with Nicole and people from the teams to temporarily work in Nicole’s domain to serve the existing teams.

QUESTION: 40

Peter, the Product Owner, is upset that the product will need several more Sprints to address the scalability issues in order to meet his expectations.
What factors may have led to this?

The Scrum Team has not used the past Sprint Retrospectives effectively to inspect and adapt.
The Development Team has not been paying enough attention to technical quality.
The Development Team and the Product Owner are not having conversations around technical debt.
The Scrum Master has not ensured that the Scrum Team is transparent.
All of the above.
None of the above.

Answer(s): E
