Scrum PSM-II Exam - Topic 2 Question 43 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-II exam

Question #: 43
Topic #: 2

A Scrum Team has been working together for nine Sprints. A new Product Owner comes in, unsure about his responsibilities. As the Scrum Master you have observed how the functional and business insights of the Developers have grown over the past Sprints. The Product Owner however is relatively new to the company and to the product. What are two activities you would direct the new Product Owner towards focusing on?

(choose the best two answers)

AYou advise the Product Owner to start building a good relationship with the
stakeholders of the product. On-going interaction with them is important to
regularly align with changing organizational or market expectations. The Product
Owner is also expected to invite the appropriate stakeholders to the Sprint
Review.

BYou inform the Product Owner that, in today's highly competitive markets, it is important that the Developers are updated on changing business priorities on a daily basis. It is why Scrum has this daily meeting. At this Daily Scrum the
Developers can adapt to the changes in scope without delay.

CYou tell the Product Owner to make sure that there are no ambiguities or
possible misunderstandings in the items on the Product Backlog when they are
handed over to the Scrum Team. This is best done by capturing the functional
requirements during an analysis phase, resulting in documents that are
considered as the working product of such analysis Sprints.

DYou advise the Product Owner to rely on others in the Scrum Team and the
stakeholders to formulate the Product Backlog, as they are the ones that are up
to speed. By questioning them and working with them the Product Owner will
quickly become more productive.

Relying too much on others might slow things down, not sure about that.

Wait, shouldn't the Product Owner have their own insights too?

I like the idea of the Product Owner collaborating with the team, so Option D makes sense. It could help them get up to speed quickly!

I feel like capturing functional requirements is crucial, but I'm not sure if that should be the Product Owner's main focus right away. Option C seems a bit off to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the Daily Scrum is more about the Developers than the Product Owner. Option B might not be the best focus for them.

I remember we discussed the importance of stakeholder relationships in our last class. Option A seems like a solid choice for the Product Owner to start with.

This is a good test of my Dynamics 365 knowledge. I'm going to carefully review each option and make sure I select the two that provide the most complete solution for the company's needs.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if using a SCSI or SATA drive would really make a difference in file access performance. Defragmenting the drive seems like the most likely option, but I'll need to double-check the correct command.

This seems like a straightforward question about monitoring Azure SQL database settings. I think the key is to identify the right type of alert or diagnostic setting to capture the database modifications.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key differences between controlling and transferring risk. I'll review my notes on risk management strategies before answering.

Hey, at least the new Product Owner isn't trying to micromanage the Developers. That would be a real dumpster fire!

Hmm, is option D basically saying 'fake it till you make it'? I don't know if that's the best approach for a new Product Owner.

B is just plain wrong. The Daily Scrum is for the Developers, not the Product Owner to update on changing priorities.
