I’m a bit confused; I thought Scrum was more about responding to change rather than sticking to a strict plan.

I feel like option C makes sense because it mentions predetermined features, but I also recall that flexibility is key in Scrum.

I think it might be about maintaining a steady cadence of sprints, like we practiced in our last mock exam.

I remember that Scrum emphasizes iterative development, but I'm not sure how that ties into predictability.

I think the key here is that Scrum uses a combination of velocity tracking and iterative development to provide predictability. The team's velocity allows them to forecast what can be delivered in each sprint, while the sprint-based cadence ensures regular value delivery. This seems like a straightforward application of core Scrum principles.

Okay, I've got this. Scrum achieves predictability by having a cadence of regular sprints or iterations, where the team commits to delivering a set of features. This gives the company predictability, while the backlog and sprint planning process allows them to still be responsive to customer needs. I'm confident I can explain this well in the exam.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Scrum is supposed to help with predictability, but I'm not totally clear on the specific mechanisms. I'll need to think through the Scrum principles and practices to figure out the best answer.
