Simulation #2 ASM Exin
A Scrum team has been assigned a new project and decides to add the following statement to the
Definition of Done:Only features for which a functional design is drafted and accepted are put on
the Sprint Backlog.The Scrum Master reviews this and states: Documentation is needed. For
each feature, the design should be created or updated. We need to add to the Definition of Done
and keep this in mind when estimating tasks for the next Sprint Backlog.Why does the Scrum
Master say this?
A. Because the documentation can be created and adjusted per feature
B. Because the Customer is valued over documentation in Agile development
C. Because the Scrum Master knows if the team has time to implement this
D. Because the Sprint Backlog gives enough information to do this quickly - ✔✔Correct Option:
A
EXPLANATION
The Agile way of working means that each feature has to follow the steps of design, build, and
test. Therefore, the documentation is created and adjusted per feature.
One week into a four-week sprint, the Development Team has realized that it won't be able to
deliver half of the Sprint Backlog items. The Product Owner is not happy with this, because the
customer is expecting most of those features for a release at the end of the Sprint. What is the
best course of action as the Scrum Master?
A. Recommend the cancellation of the Sprint and start another one immediately, one that is only
focused on the must-have features
B. Recommend that the Product Owner to revise the order of Sprint Backlog items and let the
developers continue with the best they can
C. Recommend that the developers to work overtime, and in return, take a few days off after the
Sprint
D. Recommend an extension of the Sprint duration, until everything is finished for the release -
✔✔Correct Option: B
EXPLANATION
The fact that it cannot deliver everything, is not a reason for canceling the Sprint. Sprints are
only canceled when they don't make sense anymore. For example: the customer doesn't need the
Sprint Backlog items anymore. When the developers realize that they won't be able to deliver a
high percentage of the items, it's a good idea to ask the Product Owner to check the sprint
Backlog and make changes in the priorities (if needed), since items at the bottom of the Sprint
Backlog will probably stay incomplete.
The Product Owner assigns tasks to developers in the Daily Scrum, and the meeting always takes
more than 15 minutes. How should the Scrum Master address this situation?
A. Convince the Product Owner to stop assigning tasks to the Development Team and not to
participate in the Daily Scrum
B. Assign the tasks to keep it within the 15- minute time box
C. Should not interfere in arguments and should let the self-organized team members solve this
problem themselves
D. Explain to the Product Owner that tasks are assigned after the Daily Scrum, so that the
meeting stays within the 15-minute time box - ✔✔Correct Option: A
