What does it mean to say that an event has a time-box?
In Scrum, a time-box is a maximum duration for an event, ensuring focus and efficiency. The Scrum Guide states: 'All events are time-boxed, meaning they have a maximum duration.' For example, Sprint Planning is 8 hours max, Daily Scrum is 15 minutes, etc. The event can end earlier if its purpose is achieved, but it cannot exceed the time-box. Option A refers to scheduling, not time-boxing. Option B implies a deadline, not a duration limit. Option C suggests a minimum, which isn't part of the definition. Thus, D is correct.
Which of the following best describes an Increment of working software? (Choose the best answer)
The Scrum Guide defines an Increment as 'a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal' that is usable and meets the Definition of 'Done': 'Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together.' Option E captures this---new, usable features that build on previous work. Option A (test suite) is a tool, not an Increment. Option B (UML diagrams) is documentation, not working software. Option C (task decomposition) is planning, not a product. Option D (UI design) isn't necessarily usable software. Thus, E best describes an Increment.
What outcome is expected as Scrum Teams mature? (Choose the best answer)
As Scrum Teams mature, they improve quality and effectiveness. The Scrum Guide implies that the Definition of 'Done' evolves: 'As Scrum Teams mature, it is expected that their definitions of 'Done' will expand to include more stringent criteria for higher quality.'
A: Events remain mandatory for Scrum's structure.
B: The Scrum Master remains vital for coaching and facilitation.
C: Correct---quality standards rise with maturity.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'If the Definition of Done for an increment is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum... As Scrum Teams mature, it is expected that their definitions of 'Done' will expand.' (Section: 'Definition of Done')
Thus, C is correct.
Every Scrum Team should have: (Choose the best answer)
The Scrum Guide emphasizes that a Scrum Team must be cross-functional, meaning it has all the competencies and skills necessary to create a 'Done' Increment within a Sprint without relying on external resources. Option A aligns directly with this principle: 'The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers... They are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint.' Option B, while suggesting a structured representation from disciplines, is too prescriptive and not a Scrum requirement---Scrum does not mandate specific roles like QA or UX within the Developers. Option C imposes a rigid team structure (one Lead Developer and a maximum of eight others), which contradicts Scrum's flexibility in team composition (typically 10 or fewer total, but no specific roles or limits beyond that are mandated). Thus, A is the best answer, focusing on capability rather than structure.
The Product Owner's authority to change and update the Product Backlog is unlimited, except for: (Choose the best answer)
The Scrum Guide grants the Product Owner sole authority over the Product Backlog: 'The Product Owner is one person, not a committee... For Product Owners to succeed, the entire organization must respect their decisions.' No external roles or processes override this.
A, C, D, E: These introduce roles (CFO, CEO, program manager, architect, change board) not recognized in Scrum as limiting the Product Owner's authority.
F: Impediments affect execution, not the Product Owner's right to update the backlog.
B: This reflects the Scrum Guide's intent---ultimate authority rests with the Product Owner, though they may delegate tasks (not authority).
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes: Developing and explicitly communicating the Product Goal; Creating and clearly communicating Product Backlog items; Ordering Product Backlog items; and, Ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible and understood... The Product Owner is one person, not a committee.' (Section: 'The Product Owner')
Thus, B is correct.
