A week into a 3-week Sprint, a team discovered that they were unlikely to complete the
Sprint deliverables. Some of the team members felt they could catch up with the work
during the last 2 weeks if they got lucky with some of the dependencies. The Scrum
Master is required to log a weekly Sprint status with the stakeholders. What is the most
appropriate status for the Scrum Master to represent?
A. Delayed
B. On Time
C. At risk
D. In progress - ✔✔Correct Option: C
EXPLANATION
Transparency is one of the pillars of Scrum teams. The team is currently reporting a
delay and this must be conveyed to the stakeholders so that they can be prepared for
the eventuality and make adjustments if necessary
Early into the planning of a release, a team felt they could not demonstrate any working
system in the first three Sprints because the user interface would not be built until the
fourth Sprint. What should the Scrum coach of the team recommend?
A. The team should advance the User interface work to the first Sprint to enable early
demos
B. Do not set up demos until Sprint 4 and mark the first 3 Sprints as Iteration Zero
C. Ask the team to present a design document or similar artifact during the demo for the
first 3 Sprints
D. Ask the team to figure out a way to provide a demo; even if it is a bare bones UI or
simply the API or schema - ✔✔Correct Option: D
EXPLANATION
Working software is the primary measure of progress as per the Agile principles,
therefore the team must find a way to show a working system. Further, the coach
should avoid dictating to the team how they should schedule their work, but gently
suggest to them that they need to find a way to showcase their work.
During a Scrum retrospective, a team identified a bunch of improvement actions, but
said they could not work on any of those because the next few Sprints were going to be
very busy. How should the Scrum Master respond?A. Make it mandatory for the team to pick up improvements but leave it to the team
members to figure out who exactly does it
B. Ask the team to prioritize the actions and pick the top two or three, offering to
negotiate the Sprint backlog during the next
C. Sprint planning meetings
Remind the team that the next Sprint is not planned yet, so they cannot use that as an
excuse for not taking up the actions
D. Reserve capacity for one of the team members to work exclusively on improvement
