Scrum PSM-II Exam - Topic 5 Question 55 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-II exam

Question #: 55
Topic #: 5

You are a Scrum Master and one of the Developers approaches you and says: Every Sprint we are not completing regression testing for all of the selected Product Backlog items in the Sprint, but regression testing is part of the Definition of Done. We have discussed with the Product Owner and during the Sprint we decided to change the Definition of Done to remove regression testing. Which two actions are appropriate in this situation?

(choose the best two answers)

AAgree with altering the Definition of Done, if both the Developers and Product Owner agree.

BAsk the Developers and the Product Owner if removing regression testing from the Definition of Done allows the team to produce useful and valuable Increments at the end of every Sprint?

CAsk the Developers and the Product Owner what problem they are going to solve by altering the Definition of Done during the Sprint to remove regression testing. Will this raise transparency or improve quality?

DDisagree with the decision and tell them that having a stringent Definition of Done is important for the quality of the product, and they need to follow it.

If everyone agrees, why not? But quality should still be a priority!

I think it's worth discussing what value removing it brings.

Wait, can they really just change it mid-Sprint? That seems off.

Totally agree, the Definition of Done should be non-negotiable.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, regression testing is crucial!

I lean towards option C because it emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind the change. But I wonder if the team will really be able to solve any problems by removing regression testing.

I'm a bit torn between options C and D. I feel like we should question the change, but I also remember that sticking to the Definition of Done is crucial for quality.

I think option B sounds familiar from a practice question we did. It makes sense to ensure that removing regression testing still allows us to deliver valuable increments.

I remember discussing the importance of the Definition of Done in our last class, but I'm not sure if we should just agree to change it without more discussion.

This is a tough call. On one hand, the team and Product Owner agreed to the change, so I'd be hesitant to overrule that. But on the other hand, regression testing is an important part of the Definition of Done. I'd probably try to find a middle ground, where we can still maintain quality without overburdening the team.

I think I'd start by asking the team some clarifying questions. Understanding their rationale and the potential impact on the product is key. If they can demonstrate that this change will still result in a valuable Increment, then I'd be open to it. But I'd want to make sure we're not sacrificing quality.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Changing the Definition of Done mid-Sprint seems risky. I'd want to make sure the Product Owner is fully on board and that this change won't compromise the quality of the product. Maybe I'd suggest exploring other options to get the work done.

This is a tricky one. I'd want to understand the reasoning behind their decision to change the Definition of Done during the Sprint. Maintaining quality is important, so I'd ask them to explain how this change will impact the product.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I think the key is to understand the requirements - the CDI bean needs to retain its state while the user is interacting with the page, but the values should only be stored in the database when the user clicks the Save button. Based on that, I'd say the Session and View scopes are the most likely candidates.

I'm a little confused by this question. The error message doesn't seem to give me enough information to determine the exact reason. I'll have to make an educated guess based on the options provided.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'm thinking it might be Availability, since that's about ensuring information is accessible when needed. But Integrity also sounds like it could be the right answer. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Regression testing? That's like double-checking your homework before handing it in. I say we skip it and go straight to the final exam!

Changing the Definition of Done on the fly? That's like trying to change the rules of chess mid-game. I'll go with option D to keep things in order.

I'd go with option C. As the Scrum Master, I need to understand the problem they're trying to solve and whether the change will actually improve transparency and quality.

I disagree with option A. Altering the Definition of Done during the Sprint is not a good practice, as it can compromise the quality of the product. Option D seems to be the best choice.

I think option B and C are the most appropriate actions here. We need to understand the rationale behind the change and how it will impact the quality and value of the Increments.
