Discuss Scrum SPS Exam Topic 1 Question 12

True or False: A Nexus Integration Team is accountable for ensuring that a Integrated

Increment is produced at least once a Sprint.

ATrue

BFalse

Suggested Answer: D

PBI 2 is the most concerning because it involves a cross-team dependency within the same Sprint, which can create challenges and risks for the integration and delivery of the product increment. According to the Online Nexus Guide1, dependencies should be minimized or eliminated as much as possible, and if they exist, they should be made transparent and resolved as early as possible. Cross-team dependencies within the same Sprint can cause delays, conflicts, rework, and waste, and reduce the quality and value of the product increment 234.

The other answers are not correct for the following reasons:

A . PBI 2, because it has the most dependencies. This answer is not accurate because PBI 2 does not have the most dependencies, but only one dependency with PBI 1 from Team Red. PBI 3 has the most dependencies, as it depends on PBI 1, PBI 2, and PBI 4. However, PBI 3 is not as concerning as PBI 2, because its dependencies are not within the same Sprint, but across different Sprints. This means that PBI 3 can be refined and planned in advance, and the teams can coordinate and communicate their work more effectively 5.

B . PBI 1, because it is on the top of the Product Backlog. This answer is not relevant because the position of PBI 1 on the Product Backlog does not indicate its level of concern, but its priority and value. The Product Backlog is ordered by the Product Owner based on various factors, such as business value, risk, complexity, and dependencies. PBI 1 may be on the top of the Product Backlog because it is the most valuable or urgent item, or because it is a prerequisite for other items, but it is not necessarily the most concerning item 6.

C . PBI 1, because it is the first piece of work with a dependency. This answer is not true because PBI 1 is not the first piece of work with a dependency, but the first piece of work that other items depend on. PBI 1 does not have any dependencies itself, but it creates dependencies for PBI 2, PBI 3, and PBI 5. Therefore, PBI 1 is not as concerning as PBI 2, because it does not depend on any other item, and it can be completed independently by Team Red 5.

Agreed, it's all about delivering increments!

Curt 11 months ago

Wait, are we sure about that? Sounds too strict.

Georgeanna 11 months ago

Definitely True, that's how Sprints work!

Jerry 11 months ago

I thought it was optional, so False?

Ernie 11 months ago

True, that's part of their role!

Dean 12 months ago

I feel like I saw something about this in the study materials, and it emphasized the importance of the Integrated Increment being produced, so I would say true.

Alisha 12 months ago

I’m a bit confused; I thought the Scrum Team was responsible for the Increment, not just the Nexus Integration Team. Maybe it's false?

Gail 12 months ago

I remember a practice question about the roles in Nexus, and it mentioned the team’s accountability for the Integrated Increment, so I lean towards true.

Pauline 1 year ago

I think it's true because the Nexus Integration Team is supposed to ensure integration happens every Sprint, but I'm not 100% sure.

King 1 year ago

I feel pretty good about this one. The Nexus Integration Team is responsible for integrating the work of the Scrum Teams, so it makes sense that they would need to produce an Integrated Increment at least once per Sprint. I'm going to select True.

Virgie 1 year ago

I'm a little confused by this question. What exactly is a Nexus Integration Team? I don't recall learning about that in the Scrum Guide. I'll have to guess on this one, but I'm not super confident in my answer.

Sherrell 1 year ago

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. The key is to focus on the responsibilities of the Nexus Integration Team. If their job is to integrate the work, then it makes sense that they would need to produce an Integrated Increment regularly, like once per Sprint. I'm going to go with True on this one.

Luther 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the Nexus Integration Team is responsible for integrating the work of the Scrum Teams, but I can't remember if they're specifically accountable for the Integrated Increment being produced every Sprint. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Johna 1 year ago

I think this one is pretty straightforward. The question is asking if the Nexus Integration Team is accountable for producing an Integrated Increment at least once per Sprint, and the answer is True.

Demetra 1 year ago

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The solution is to use Route 53 Resolver to forward the DNS requests, as described in Option C. That way, the on-premises DNS server can handle the resolution for the company.example domain.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know FAT32 is an upgrade from FAT16, but I'm not totally clear on the specific advantages. I'll need to review my notes on file system differences to make sure I can identify the correct answers.

Michel 1 year ago

This seems like a straightforward question. I think option C is the best choice - changing the Duplicate Invoice number edit field on the A/P Constants form to disallow duplicate invoice numbers.

Gary 1 year ago

True, but only if the Scrum Teams are actually doing their job and delivering something every Sprint. Otherwise, the Nexus Integration Team will be left with an empty plate!

Exactly, it's important for all Scrum Teams to deliver something each Sprint for the Nexus Integration Team to work with.

That's right, the Nexus Integration Team is responsible for ensuring an Integrated Increment is produced every Sprint.

A) True

Tien 1 year ago

Haha, the Nexus Integration Team is like the 'Integration Police' - they'll make sure you have your Increment ready or they'll throw you in the 'Integration Jail'!

↳ replying to Tien

Haha, that's a funny way to put it!

Germaine 1 year ago

↳ replying to Tien

A) True

Lashandra 1 year ago

False, I think. The Nexus Integration Team is there to facilitate the integration, but the actual production of the Increment is up to the individual Scrum Teams.

Mary 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Doesn't the Nexus Integration Team just oversee the integration, not necessarily produce the Increment every time?

Yuette 1 year ago

↳ replying to Mary

B) False

I think the answer is A) True.
