What is the tactic a Scrum Master should use to divide a group of 100 people into multiple Scrum Teams? (Choose the best answer)
The Scrum Guide emphasizes self-organization and self-management as core principles for the Scrum Team, particularly the Developers: 'They are self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how.' When forming multiple Scrum Teams from a large group, the Scrum Master's role is to facilitate and coach, not dictate. Option C aligns with this by empowering the Developers to self-organize into teams, fostering ownership and collaboration. Option A (skill-based division) is too prescriptive and risks creating component teams rather than cross-functional ones, which Scrum favors. Option B shifts responsibility to the Product Owner, whose role is Product Backlog management, not team formation. Thus, C is the best tactic.
Who must do all the work to make sure Product Backlog items conform to the Definition of "Done"? (Choose the best answer)
The Scrum Guide clearly assigns the responsibility for delivering a 'Done' Increment to the Developers: 'The Developers are the people in the Scrum Team that are committed to creating any aspect of a usable Increment each Sprint.' This includes all work---development, testing, integration, etc.---needed to meet the Definition of 'Done,' a shared commitment that ensures quality. Option A (Scrum Team) is too broad; while the Scrum Team collaborates, only the Developers perform the hands-on work. Option C (Product Owner) is incorrect---they manage the Product Backlog, not the execution. Option D (QA Specialists) introduces a role not defined in Scrum; quality is the Developers' collective responsibility. Option E (Scrum Master) is wrong---they facilitate, not build. Thus, B is correct.
What is the Product Owner accountable for in Scrum? (Choose the best answer)
The Product Owner's core accountability is maximizing value through the Product Backlog. The Scrum Guide states: 'The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team.' Option B encapsulates this fully.
A: The Developers deliver the Increment; the Product Owner doesn't ensure it.
C: Refinement is part of management, but not the sole accountability.
D: Writing User Stories is a technique, not the overarching duty.
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.' (Section: 'The Product Owner')
Thus, B is correct.
Who assigns ownership of the Sprint Backlog items during the Sprint? (Choose the best answer)
The Sprint Backlog is collectively owned by the Developers, not assigned to individuals. The Scrum Guide defines it as: 'The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers... It is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint.' Self-organization means the Developers decide who does what, without fixed ownership of items.
A, B: Individual assignment isn't mandated; it's a team effort.
C: Correct---the Developers as a whole own it.
D: The Product Owner manages the Product Backlog, not the Sprint Backlog.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is composed of the Sprint Goal (why), the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint (what), as well as an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (how).' (Section: 'Sprint Backlog')
Thus, C is correct.
True or False: The Scrum Master is a participant in the Sprint Retrospective.
The Sprint Retrospective is an event for the entire Scrum Team, including the Scrum Master, to inspect and improve their processes. The Scrum Guide explicitly states that the Scrum Master participates as a peer: 'The Scrum Master participates as a peer team member in the Sprint Retrospective from the accountability over the Scrum Team's effectiveness.' This ensures a collaborative review of the Sprint, including the Scrum Master's facilitation role.
A: True---the Scrum Master is a full participant.
B: False---exclusion contradicts Scrum's team focus.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint... The Scrum Master participates as a peer team member in the Sprint Retrospective from the accountability over the Scrum Team's effectiveness.' (Section: 'Sprint Retrospective')
Thus, A is correct.
