Which statement is least accurate when providing a definition of "Done"? (Choose the best answer)
The Definition of 'Done' is a team or organizational standard, not the Scrum Master's sole responsibility. The Scrum Guide states: 'If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product.'
A: Accurate---it defines completion.
B: True---it can differ by context or product.
C: Least accurate---the Scrum Team or organization defines it, not just the Scrum Master.
D: Correct---it evolves with maturity.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product... If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create [it].' (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.
True or False: A first Sprint can start before the Product Owner has a complete and exhaustive Product Backlog in place.
Scrum doesn't require a fully detailed Product Backlog to begin. The Scrum Guide notes: 'The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list... It evolves over time.' A minimal backlog with a Product Goal and some items is sufficient for the first Sprint, with refinement ongoing.
A: True---Scrum embraces starting with what's known.
B: False---demanding completeness delays delivery.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful... As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.' (Section: 'Product Backlog')
Thus, A is correct.
If the Product Backlog is not ready for Sprint Planning, what happens? (Choose the best answer)
The Product Backlog is emergent and doesn't need to be fully 'ready' before Sprint Planning. The Scrum Guide states: 'Sprint Planning initiates the Sprint by laying out the work to be performed for the Sprint.' If items aren't refined, the team can refine them during planning to select enough for the Sprint.
A: Canceling isn't an option; Sprints start immediately after the previous one.
B: Splitting Sprint Planning isn't supported; it's a single time-boxed event.
C: Correct---refinement can occur within planning.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product... The Scrum Team may refine items during Sprint Planning.' (Section: 'Product Backlog')
Thus, C is correct.
Which three purposes does the Definition of "Done" serve? (Choose the best three answers)
The Scrum Guide explains the Definition of 'Done' as 'a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product':
A: It increases transparency by making quality expectations visible to all.
B: It creates a shared understanding of 'complete' across the Scrum Team.
E: It guides the Developers in forecasting capacity during Sprint Planning by defining the effort needed per item.
Option C is incorrect---it's about the Increment's state, not Sprint closure. Option D relates to Scrum events, not the Definition of 'Done.' Thus, A, B, and E are correct.
