ScrumStudy SMC Exam - Topic 1 Question 75 Discussion

Actual exam question for ScrumStudy's SMC exam

Question #: 75
Topic #: 1

[All SMC Questions]

All of the following statements about Risk Communications are true, EXCEPT:

AThe Stakeholders should be continuously informed about risks, including the potential impact of these risks
and the plans for responding to each risk.

BThe Scrum Team may also discuss specific risks related to their Tasks with the Product Owner during
Daily Standup Meetings.

CThe Product Owner is responsible for the prioritization of risks and for communicating the prioritized list to
the Scrum Team.

DInformation related to risks is maintained and updated through the Risk Burndown Chart.
Because stakeholders have an interest in the project, it is important to communicate with them regarding risks.
Information provided to stakeholders related to risk should include potential impact and the plans for
responding to each risk. This communication is on-going and should occur in parallel with the four sequential
steps discussed thus far---risk identification, assessment, prioritization and mitigation. The Scrum Team may
also discuss specific risks related to their Tasks with the Scrum Master during Daily Standup Meetings. The
Product Owner is responsible for the prioritization of risks and for communicating the prioritized list to the
Scrum Team. An important tool which can be used for communicating information related to risks is the Risk
Burndown Chart.

The Risk Burndown Chart sounds familiar, but I'm uncertain if it's the only tool for communicating risks. I feel like there might be other methods mentioned in our materials.

I practiced a question similar to this where the focus was on the Scrum Team discussing risks, but I can't remember if it was with the Product Owner or the Scrum Master.

I think all stakeholders should be informed about risks continuously, but I can't recall if that's true for every type of risk communication.

I remember that the Product Owner is supposed to prioritize risks, but I'm not sure if they communicate the list directly to the Scrum Team.

I've got this! The answer has to be D - the Risk Burndown Chart is not used to maintain and update information related to risks. That's not one of the key risk communication practices in Scrum that were described in the question. I'm confident I can get this one right.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm a bit unsure about the details of risk communications in Scrum. I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully to make sure I don't miss anything.

This looks like a straightforward question about risk communications in Scrum. I think I can handle this - I just need to carefully read through the options and identify the one that is not true.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key things I need to remember are that stakeholders should be continuously informed about risks, the Scrum Team can discuss risks in daily standups, the Product Owner prioritizes risks, and the Risk Burndown Chart is used to communicate risk information. I just need to identify which of those statements is not true.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know ICMP is used for network diagnostics, but I'm not 100% certain that's its primary function. Let me think this through a bit more.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The question is asking about where Android Studio stores the launcher icon files, and the options are Values, Drawable, Layout, and Mipmap. Based on my understanding, Drawable is the folder that contains the different density-specific launcher icon files, so I'll go with that.

Risk communication is no joke. Imagine trying to explain the Risk Burndown Chart to your grandparents. 'So, you see, the line goes down as we mitigate the risks...'

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. The Product Owner is responsible for prioritizing risks and communicating them to the Scrum Team, not the other way around.
