Actual exam question for ScrumStudy's SMC exam

Question #: 88
Topic #: 1

[All SMC Questions]

A Scrum Team is estimating the prioritized User Stories. Each team member has been assigned a deck of

numbered cards, in which each card is numbered in a sequence. The team members use these cards to

assess a particular User Story by picking and showing a card from the deck that represents their estimate for

the User Story. Which estimation tool is the Scrum Team using?

AFist of Five.

BWideband Delphi.

CAffinity Estimation.

DPlanning Poker.
:
Planning Poker is an agile estimating and planning technique that is consensus based. To start a poker
planning session, the product owner or customer reads an agile user story or describes a feature to the
estimators.
Each estimator is holding a deck of Planning Poker cards with values like 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40 and 100,
which is the sequence we recommend. The values represent the number of story points, ideal days, or other
units in which the team estimates.

I thought Planning Poker was just a game, not a technique!

Wait, are we sure it's not Affinity Estimation?

I feel like I've seen something about Wideband Delphi, but it doesn't match the card usage described here. Planning Poker feels right to me.

Fist of Five seems similar, but I don't recall it involving cards. I might be mixing it up with something else.

I remember practicing with a question about estimation techniques, and Planning Poker was definitely mentioned as a consensus-based method.

I think this sounds like Planning Poker, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only method that uses cards.

I'm a little confused by this question. The details about the numbered cards make me think it could be Planning Poker, but I'm not entirely sure. I'll have to review the Planning Poker concept again to be certain.

Okay, I've got this. The question describes the team members using numbered cards to estimate the user stories, which is the classic Planning Poker technique. I'm confident that's the right answer.

This seems like a straightforward question. The key details are that the team members are using numbered cards to estimate the user stories, so I think the answer is Planning Poker.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the team members have been assigned a deck of numbered cards, but it doesn't explicitly say they're using Planning Poker. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I've got this. The minimal configuration is just the radio name, frequency, and SSID. Everything else is optional. I'm confident I can nail this one.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. The subscriber had a bounces status, and then they clicked a link in an email. I think the key is understanding how that click affects their status and bounce count.

I keep mixing up the 40G and 100G transponders. I think the 100G transponder should be one of the choices, right?

Planning Poker, the agile estimating tool that lets us play cards and pretend it's work. I wonder if they serve snacks during the sessions?

Planning Poker, the secret weapon of Scrum teams everywhere. I bet the developers love it because it's the closest they'll ever get to a real poker game.

Planning Poker, huh? Beats the heck out of the old 'throw darts at a whiteboard' method we used to use. At least this way, we can pretend we're professionals.

Ah, the old Planning Poker technique. I remember the first time I saw the team members flipping their cards simultaneously. It was like a synchronized dance of estimation magic.
