Question 1
Correct
A product increment must be released to production at the end of each Sprint

True

Your answer is correct
False

Overall explanation
An increment is a body of inspectable, done work that supports empiricism at the end of the Sprint. The increment is a step toward a vision or goal. The increment must be in useable condition regardless of whether the Product Owner decides to release it.

Question 2
Correct
No one but the scrum team is allowed to participate in sprint planning.

True

Your answer is correct
False

Overall explanation
The work to be performed in the Sprint is planned at the Sprint Planning. This plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team.

The Development Team may also invite other people to attend to provide technical or domain advice.

Question 3
Correct
It is good practice to have at least two Product Owners on larger projects.

True

Your answer is correct
False

Overall explanation
When you have 1 project for creating 1 product, there would be only 1 Product Backlog and 1 Product Owner. Having more than one Product Backlog makes it hard to prioritize the items and having more than one Product Owner might create inconsistency in the system.

Question 4
Correct
Which of the following is a way of decreasing technical debt?

Hiring an external auditor

Your answer is correct
Improving the definition of "Done"

Overall explanation
There's usually room for improving the definition of "Done". A good definition will let less technical debt pass on to the next Sprints. Technical debt is minor shortcomings in the code that makes it less than "good enough" and therefore creates risks in the future. It usually decreases velocity in the future (because the team has to fix the shortcomings) and as some of the debt might remain in the final product, the maintenance cost will increase as well. Another Agile way of reducing technical debt is continuous refactoring.

Question 5
Incorrect
The result of the Sprint Review is…

Acceptance (or rejection) of all Product Backlog Items

Incomplete Product Backlog Items have been reviewed and returned to the top of the Product Backlog

Correct answer
A revised Product Backlog that defines the probable Product Backlog items for the next Sprint

Your answer is incorrect
The Increment has been demonstrated to Stakeholders

Question 6
Correct
The Product Backlog is ordered by:

Risk, where safer items are at the top, and riskier items are at the bottom

Your answer is correct
Importance, where the most important items are at the top at all times

Size, where small items are at the top and large items are at the bottom

Items are randomly arranged

Overall explanation
The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful.

Question 7
Correct
What type of test should be done during the Sprint?

Unit tests

All tests, except for user acceptance tests

Your answer is correct
Every type of test

All tests, except for integration tests

Overall explanation
Remember that the Increment has to be "Done", and potentially releasable. It means that all tests should be done

Question 8
Correct
What type of process control is Scrum?

Adaptive

Modern

Traditional

Your answer is correct
Empirical

Overall explanation
Scrum is empirical; based on the real-world experiences. It asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. In order to do so, Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk.

Question 9
Correct
Which output from the Sprint Planning provides the Development Team with a target and overarching direction for the Sprint?

Your answer is correct
The Sprint Goal

Sprint Review minutes

The release plan

The Sprint Backlog

Overall explanation
The Sprint Goal is an objective set for the Sprint that can be met through the implementation of Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the Development Team on why it is building the Increment. It is created during the Sprint Planning meeting. The Sprint Goal gives the Development Team some flexibility regarding the functionality implemented within the Sprint. The selected Product Backlog items deliver one coherent function, which can be the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Goal can be any other coherence that causes the Development Team to work together rather than on separate initiatives.

  • Coaching the Development Team in self-organization and cross-functionality;

  • Helping the Development Team to create high-value products;

  • Removing impediments to the Development Team’s progress;

  • Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed; and,

  • Coaching the Development Team in organizational environments in which Scrum is not yet fully adopted and understood.

Question 12
Correct
At the Sprint Retrospective meeting the Scrum Team identified some improvements that can be done. What should the Scrum Team do? (choose the best answer)

Make sure the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint includes all the improvements.

Assign a responsible team member for at least one improvement. Check the progress at the next Retrospective.

Assign responsible team members for every improvement. Check the progress at the next Retrospective.

Your answer is correct
Make sure the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint includes at least one high priority process improvement.

Overall explanation
The Sprint Backlog makes visible all the work that the Development Team identifies as necessary to meet the Sprint Goal. To ensure continuous improvement, it includes at least one high priority process improvement identified in the previous Retrospective meeting.

Question 13
Correct
What is one way that the scrum master serves the product owner?

By planning scrum implementations within the organization

By coaching the development team in self-organization

All answers are correct

Your answer is correct
By working to ensure that the goals and scope are understood by everyone on the scrum team

Your answer is correct
Having timeboxed events

Question 15
Incorrect
Which of the following is a valid service from the Scrum Master to the Product Owner? (choose the best answer)

Act as the middleman between the Product Owner and the Development Team, as requested or required

Correct answer
Helping the Product Owner find techniques for managing the Product Backlog.

Act as a proxy when the Product Owner is not available to the team.

Your answer is incorrect
Helping the Product Owner order the Product Backlog items in order to maximize value.

Overall explanation

• Ensuring that goals, scope, and product domain are understood by everyone on the Scrum Team as well as possible;

• Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog management;

• Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items;

• Understanding product planning in an empirical environment;

• Ensuring the Product Owner knows how to arrange the Product Backlog to maximize value;

• Understanding and practicing agility; and,

• Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed.

Question 16
Incorrect
A development Team is required to deliver a done increment by the end of a Sprint. Select two statements that explain what "done" means.

Choose 2 answers

Correct selection
No work left from the definition of "Done"

Your selection is incorrect
All work the Development Team is willing to do

Ready for integration

Your selection is correct
All work to create software that is ready to be released to end users

Whatever the Product Owner defines as quality

Overall explanation

  • The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver Increments of potentially releasable functionality that adhere to the Scrum Team’s current definition of “Done”.

  • Development Teams deliver an Increment of product functionality every Sprint. This Increment is useable, so a Product Owner may choose to immediately release it. If the definition of "Done" for an increment is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum.

Question 17
Correct
Who must attend the Daily Scrum?

The Scrum Master and Product Owner

The Development Team and Product Owner

The Scrum Team

The Development Team and Scrum Master

Your answer is correct
The Development Team

Overall explanation
The Development Team uses the Daily Scrum to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and to inspect how progress is trending toward completing the work in the Sprint Backlog. The Daily Scrum optimizes the probability that the Development Team will meet the Sprint Goal. Everyday, the Development Team should understand how it intends to work together as a self- organizing team to accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment by the end of the Sprint.

Question 18
Correct
Which two of the following are correct about the Product Owner role?

Your selection is correct
Is accountable for all changes to the Product Backlog

Your selection is correct
Explains the Product Backlog items

Can make changes to the Sprint Backlog

Participates in the Daily Scrum meeting

Is the only person who can add items to the Product Backlog

Question 19
Correct
What is the recommended size for a Development Team?

At least 7

Your answer is correct
3 to 9

3 to 7

9

Overall explanation
Optimal Development Team size is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work within a Sprint. Fewer than three Development Team members decrease interaction and results in smaller productivity gains. Smaller Development Teams may encounter skill constraints during the Sprint, causing the Development Team to be unable to deliver a potentially releasable Increment. Having more than nine members requires too much coordination. Large Development Teams generate too much complexity for an empirical process to be useful. The Product Owner and Scrum Master roles are not included in this count unless they are also executing the work of the Sprint Backlog.

Question 20
Incorrect
Who is responsible for crafting the Sprint Goal at the Sprint Planning? (choose the best answer)

The Development Team

Your answer is incorrect
The Product Owner

The Key Stakeholders

Correct answer
The Scrum Team

The Scrum Master

Overall explanation
After the Development Team forecasts the Product Backlog items it will deliver in the Sprint, the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal.

Question 21
Correct
Who assigns tasks to the developers?

The project manager

The Product Owner

Your answer is correct
Developers themselves

The Scrum Master

Overall explanation
The developers take responsibility for doing the tasks themselves and the Development Team ensures that all tasks are done properly. Remember that they are self-organized. When items are "Done", the Product Owner checked them but this is focused on the item rather than individuals; all developers are accountable for the team's outputs.

Question 22
Correct
Who can change the Sprint Backlog in the middle of the Sprint?

Your answer is correct
Only the Development Team

Only the Scrum Master

The Scrum Team

Only the Product Owner

Overall explanation
Only the Development Team can change its Sprint Backlog during a Sprint. As new work is required, the Development Team adds it to the Sprint Backlog. As work is performed or completed, the estimated remaining work is updated. When elements of the plan are deemed unnecessary, they are removed.

Question 23
Correct
A Development Teams Daily Scrum is consistently taking longer than 15 minutes. Which statement best describes what should be done?

Pick 1

Your answer is correct
The Scrum Master should facilitate the event in a way that keeps it to the time box

The Development Team should take the additional time that they need in the Daily Scrum

Development Team members should leave at the end of the 15 minutes

A 2nd Daily Scrum should be held at the end of the day

Question 24
Correct
Who participates in the Sprint Planning? (choose the best three answers)

Your selection is correct
The Product Owner

Your selection is correct
The Scrum Master

The Technical Architect

Your selection is correct
The Development Team

The Key Stakeholders

Overall explanation
The work to be performed in the Sprint is planned at the Sprint Planning. This plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team.

Question 25
Correct
The Product Owner manages…

Pick 1

The Scrum Team

Your answer is correct
The Product Backlog

The Development Team

The Project

Question 26
Correct
A first Sprint can start before the Product Owner has a complete and exhaustive Product Backlog inplace.

Your answer is correct
True

False

Overall explanation
A first Sprint requires no more than a Product Owner, a team, and enough ideas to potentially complete a full Sprint.

Question 27
Correct
When is the Sprint Backlog created?

Your answer is correct
During the Sprint Planning meeting

Prior to the Sprint Planning meeting

During the Sprint

At the beginning of the project

Overall explanation
The work to be performed in the Sprint is planned at the Sprint Planning. This plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team.

Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter. The Scrum Master ensures that the event takes place and that attendants understand its purpose. The Scrum Master teaches the Scrum Team to keep it within the time-box.

Sprint Planning answers the following:

  • What can be delivered in the Increment resulting from the upcoming Sprint?

  • How will the work needed to deliver the Increment be achieved?

Question 28
Correct
Who is responsible for monitoring the progress of work during a Sprint?

Your answer is correct
Development Team

Project Manager

Product Owner

Scrum Master

Question 29
Correct
How long does the Sprint Planning take in a project with three-week Sprints?

3 hours

Your answer is correct
6 hours

4 hours

8 hours

Overall explanation
Sprint Planning is 8 hours for a one-month Sprint and usually shorter proportionally for shorter Sprints.

Question 30
Correct
Which statements are correct about Product Backlog refinement? (Choose 2 answers)

It should be done right before the Sprint Planning

The Scrum Master should facilitate it

Your selection is correct
It shouldn't take more than 10% of the Development Team's time

Your selection is correct
Multiple teams may participate

Overall explanation
If multiple teams are working on the project, they will participate in the refinement as well. Refinement can take any amount of time from the Product Owner but not more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team. Refinement is a continuous activity not limited to a certain time during the Sprint. The Scrum Master only facilitates the meetings as requested or required; not by default.

Question 31
Correct
Who can do the work to ensure the Product Backlog is refined to a state that it is useful?

Pick 2

Your selection is correct
The Development Team, with support from the Product Owner who is still accountable for it

Stakeholders

Your selection is correct
The Product Owner

The Business Analyst

Question 32
Correct
Who is responsible for tracking the remaining work of the Sprint?

The Project Manager

The Product Owner

The Scrum Master

The Development Team in consultation with the Product Owner

Your answer is correct
The Development Team

Overall explanation
Development Teams are structured and empowered by the organization to organize and manage their own work. The resulting synergy optimizes the Development Team’s overall efficiency and effectiveness.

Question 33
Correct
The development team is empowered by the organization to manager their own work.

Your answer is correct
True

False

Question 34
Incorrect
How does the Definition of 'Done' help to the Scrum Team? (Choose the best three answers)

Your selection is correct
Definition of Done ensures artifact transparency.

Definition of Done helps to calculate velocity of the Scrum Team.

Your selection is incorrect
Definition of Done helps in inspection and adaptation.

Correct selection
Definition of Done guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during a Sprint Planning.

Your selection is correct
Definition of Done is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment.

Overall explanation
Definition of Done is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment. Guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during a Sprint Planning. Definition of Done ensures artifact transparency.

Question 35
Correct
For the purpose of transparency, when does Scrum say a new increment of working software must be available?

Before the release Sprint

After the acceptance testing phase

When the Product Owner asks to create one

Every 3 Sprints

Your answer is correct
At the end of every Sprint

Overall explanation
Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback. Incremental deliveries of “Done” product ensure a potentially useful version of working product is always available.

Question 36
Correct
There can be multiple Definitions of Done when multiple teams are working on the same product.

False

Your answer is correct
True

Overall explanation
According to Scrum.org, they can have different Definitions of Done, as long as they are compatible with each other and capable of creating integrated Increments.

Note: it may seem that the Scrum Guide says there's only one Definition of Done for multiple teams, but Scrum. org is a little bit more specific : There must be a common Definition of Done which makes all the increments compatible AND as an "extra", each team can have some specificities which makes their Definitions of Done singular.

In other words, all the Definitions of Done must have the same basis, but they may have different add-ons.

Having this flexibility can help, because, for example, one team may want to have extra tests. There's no harm in that, and yet, it impacts their Definition of Done.

Question 37
Correct
How much time is required after a Sprint to prepare for the next Sprint?

The break between Sprints is time-boxed to 1 week for 30 days Sprints, and usually less for shorter sprints

Enough time for the requirements for the next Sprint to be determined and documented

Enough time for the Development Team to finish the testing from the last Sprint

Your answer is correct
None. A new Sprint start immediately following the end of the previous Sprint

All of the above are allowed depending on the situation

Question 38
Incorrect
When multiple teams are working on the same product, one person can be a member of more than one Development Team.

Correct answer
True

Your answer is incorrect
False

Overall explanation
The Scrum Guide doesn’t prohibit it even though it is not considered best practice.

None of the Scrum roles are necessarily full-time, and a single person can occupy more than one role or the same role in more than one team; e.g., there may be a special expertise that is needed in multiple teams, but it's not needed in a full-time basis. So, one person can provide that special type of expertise to multiple teams.

Question 39
Incorrect
What's the optimal length of a Sprint?

One week

Two weeks

Your answer is incorrect
One month

Correct answer
Short enough to minimize risk

Overall explanation
We prefer shorter Sprints as long as we can produce enough output. Shorter Sprints reduce the risk to the business.

Question 40
Correct
Which of the following may change during the Sprint?

Sprint Goal

Composition of the team

Your answer is correct
Product Backlog

Minimum level of quality

Overall explanation
a. The team stays the same during the Sprint. If you need to change it, wait until the beginning of the next Sprint.

b. The level of expected quality shouldn't decrease during the Sprint.

c. The Sprint Goal doesn't change after the Sprint Planning meeting

d. Product Backlog may change at any time.

Those that stay fixed during the Sprint are needed to avoid distractions, and create a more productive environment. After all, Sprints are not so long that they create problems.

Question 41
Correct
What are two responsibilities of testers in a Development Team?

Choose 2 answers

Your selection is correct
Everyone on the Development Team is responsible for quality

Tracking quality metrics

Verifying the work of programmers

Finding bugs

Your selection is correct
Scrum has no "tester" role

Question 42
Correct
Which statements are correct about Sprint Retrospective meeting? (Choose 2 answers)

Your selection is correct
It's three hours in a one-month Sprint

It's the only time improvement are planned for the project

It happens before the Sprint Review

The Product Owner doesn't have to be at the meeting

Your selection is correct
It's an opportunity for inspection and adaptation

Overall explanation
The Sprint Retrospective happens after the Sprint Review; it's the last event in the Sprint. It's three hours in a one-month Sprint and all Scrum Team members attend it. Its purpose is planning for improvements in the process (the way we're working), but it's not the only time we try to improve. Similar to Sprint Planning, Sprint Review and Daily Scrum, it's an opportunity for inspection and adaptation.

Question 43
Incorrect
How does the Scrum Master help the Product Owner? (choose the best three answers)

Your selection is correct
Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog management

Correct selection
Understanding product planning in an empirical environment

Your selection is correct
Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed

Introducing cutting edge development practices

Your selection is incorrect
Leading and coaching the organization in its Scrum adoption

Overall explanation
The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including:

• Ensuring that goals, scope, and product domain are understood by everyone on the Scrum Team as well as possible;

• Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog management;

• Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items;

• Understanding product planning in an empirical environment;

• Ensuring the Product Owner knows how to arrange the Product Backlog to maximize value;

• Understanding and practicing agility; and,

• Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed.

Question 44
Incorrect
When multiple teams are working on the same product, who should make sure that their outputs can be integrated into one Increment?

The Scrum Master

Your answer is incorrect
The Product Owner

The developers and the Product Owner

Correct answer
The developers

Overall explanation
It's up to the developers to find their way and ensure that their outputs will create an integrated Increment that is potentially releasable.

Question 45
Correct
What would likely happen if management only changed the organization's current terminology to fit Scrum without the proper understanding and support of Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide?

Your answer is correct
All answers apply.

Organizations may feel less stressed as the behaviors would remain familiar to management.

The organization may not realize the real benefits of Scrum as there would be no real change on the way the teams work.

Very little change will happen as the vocabulary in Scrum is specifically defined for implementing Scrum.

Overall explanation
The the defined terminology in Scrum was selected, designed, and defined specifically for supporting the Scrum Framework. Understanding the differences between traditional methods and the Scrum Framework will help move teams in the right direction in Scrum adoption.

Question 46
Correct
Why is it important that there is only one Product Owner per product? (Choose 3 answers)

Your selection is correct
It helps avoid barriers to effective communication and rapid decision making.

Your selection is correct
It is clear who is accountable for the ultimate success of the product.

It helps the economy by increasing employment.

Your selection is correct
The Development Team always knows who determines priorities.

The Scrum Master knows who will be his back-up whenever he goes on vacation.

Question 47
Correct
What does it mean for a Development Team to be cross-functional?

Your answer is correct
The Development Team includes cross-skilled individuals who are able to contribute to do what is necessary to deliver an increment of software

The Development Team includes not only developers but also business analysts, architects, developers and testers

The Development Team is a virtual team drawing from separate teams of business analysts, architects, developers and testers

Developers on the Development Team work closely with business analysts, architects, developers and testers who are not on the team

Question 48
Correct
If an item in the Sprint Backlog cannot be finished by the end of the Sprint (it turned out there is a lot more work to do than was estimated), the Sprint is cancelled and a new Sprint is created with a more realistic scope.

True

Your answer is correct
False

Overall explanation
The Sprint is cancelled only in the case if the Sprint Goal became obsolete. If some work could not be done, the Sprint Backlog should be renegotiated between the Product Owner and Development Team.

Question 49
Correct
Who is responsible for engaging the stakeholders?

The Development Team

The Project Manager

The Business Analyst

Your answer is correct
The Product Owner

The Team Manager

Question 50
Correct
A company has three products. Which two of the following are acceptable way of forming Scrum teams?

Your selection is correct
There can be a single Product Owner for all products

There must be a single Product Owner for all products

There must be one Product Owner for each product

Your selection is correct
There can be one Product Owner for each product

Overall explanation
When there's one Product Backlog, there can be only one Product Owner, even if the product is large and there are many Development Teams. However, when there are multiple Products Backlogs, there are two options: a) Considering them separate and have a Product Owner for each of them b) Have only one Product Owner for all of them

Question 51
Correct
What should the development team be able to explain by the end of sprint planning?

What items are currently in the product backlog

What they can do to improve in the upcoming sprint

Your answer is correct
How they intend to complete the items selected for the sprint

Who will demonstrate the increment at the sprint review

Question 52
Correct
Which does a self-organizing Development Team choose?

Sprint length

When to release, based on its progress

Product Backlog ordering

Stakeholders for the Sprint Review

Your answer is correct
How to best accomplish its work

Question 53
Skipped
Select the correct time-box for each Scrum event (for a 1 month sprint)

Sprint Planning : 4 hours or less, Daily Scrum : 15 minutes or less, Sprint Review : 4 hours or less, Sprint Retrospective : 4 hours or less.

Correct answer
Sprint Planning : 8 hours or less, Daily Scrum : 15 minutes or less, Sprint Review : 4 hours or less, Sprint Retrospective : 3 hours or less.

Sprint Planning : 4 hours or less, Daily Scrum : 15 minutes or less, Sprint Review : 8 hours or less, Sprint Retrospective : 4 hours or less.

Sprint Planning : 8 hours or less, Daily Scrum : 30 minutes or less, Sprint Review : 4 hours or less, Sprint Retrospective : 3 hours or less.

Question 54
Correct
When a Development Team determines that it has over-committed itself for a Sprint, who has to be present when reviewing and adjusting the Sprint work selected?

Your answer is correct
The Product Owner and the Development Team

The Scrum Master, project manager and Development Team

The Product Owner and all stakeholders

The Development Team

Overall explanation
If the Development Team determines it has too much or too little work, it may renegotiate the selected Product Backlog items with the Product Owner.

Question 55
Correct
The purpose of the Sprint Review is…

Your answer is correct
To inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog

To show Stakeholders work that is done and work that is near to completion

To review the status of the Project

To check what was done and not done during the Sprint

Question 56
Correct
Which best describes the Product Backlog?

It provides just enough information to enable Scrum team to start the design phase of a product

It contains all foreseeable tasks and requirements from which the Scrum team can develop and maintain a complete project plan

Your answer is correct
It is allowed to grow and change as more is learned about the product and its customers

It is baselined to follow change management process

Overall explanation
Requirements never stop changing, so a Product Backlog is a living artifact. Changes in business requirements, market conditions, or technology may cause changes in the Product Backlog.

Question 57
Correct
Which of the following is mandatory in Scrum?

Value Points

Your answer is correct
Sprint Backlog

Burn-down charts

Planning Poker

Overall explanation
a. This is what you can use to estimate the size of items better. It's not mandatory though.

c. You can use any form of progress measurement, tracking, and visualization.

d. This is what some people use to vote on the value of items and use them to order the items in the Product Backlog.

Only the roles, events, and artifacts (+ Definition of Done and progress measurement) are mandatory.

Question 58
Correct
Which of the following describe the definition of "Done"? (choose 2 answers)

Your selection is correct
Increases transparency

Your selection is correct
Helps ensure the Increment is releasable

Ensures everything is documented

Helps increase velocity

Overall explanation
Definition of "Done" increases transparency because everyone knows what it means by "Done". It includes everything required for creating something usable by the end users (potentially releasable).

Question 59
Correct
Who is responsible for communicating the vision of the product to the scrum team?

Your answer is correct
The product owner

The product manager

The development team

The scrum master

Question 60
Correct
What action should a Scrum Master take if the Development Team has decided that Retrospectives are no longer necessary?

Your answer is correct
Start facilitating more productive and useful Retrospectives.

Comply with the team's decision.

Suggest reducing the frequency of the Retrospectives.

Extend the Sprint time-box in order to fit the Retrospectives.

Question 61
Incorrect
If the costs exceed the benefits of releasing an increment, the product owner may elect to delay the release of an increment.

Correct answer
True

Your answer is incorrect
False

Question 62
Incorrect
Which topics should be discussed in the Sprint Review?

Correct answer
Sprint results

The Scrum process, and how it was used during the Sprint

Your answer is incorrect
All of the above

Coding and engineering practices

Overall explanation
A Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed. During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders collaborate about what was done in the Sprint. Based on that and any changes to the Product Backlog during the Sprint, attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done to optimize value. This is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and the presentation of the Increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration.

This is at most a four-hour meeting for one-month Sprints. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter. The Scrum Master ensures that the event takes place and that attendees understand its purpose. The Scrum Master teaches everyone involved to keep it within the time-box.

Question 63
Correct
In order to start the first Sprint, Scrum only requires a Product Owner with enough ideas, a Development Team to execute on those ideas, and a Scrum Master to guide the process.

False

Your answer is correct
True

Overall explanation
In complex domains, you are only able to know the outcomes in hindsight. Empiricism, from which Scrum was founded on, asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. New knowledge will emerge as work is being done.

Question 64
Correct
What are the two primary ways a Scrum Master keeps a Development Team working at its highest level of productivity?

Choose 2 answers.

Your selection is correct
By removing impediments that hinder the Development Team

By keeping high value features high in the Product backlog

By ensuring the meetings start and end at the proper time

Your selection is correct
By facilitating Development Team decisions

Overall explanation
The Scrum Master serves the Development Team in several ways, including:

  • Coaching the Development Team in self-organization and cross-functionality;

  • Helping the Development Team to create high-value products;

  • Removing impediments to the Development Team’s progress;

  • Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed; and,

  • Coaching the Development Team in organizational environments in which Scrum is not yet fully adopted and understood.

Question 65
Correct
Which of the following is not a pillar of Scrum?

Inspection

Your answer is correct
Empiricism

Adaptation

Transparency

Overall explanation
The three pillars of Scrum are adaptation, inspection and transparency. Scrum is based on empiricism but it's not one of the pillars.

Question 66
Correct
When does the next Sprint begin?

Immediately following the next Sprint Planning

Your answer is correct
Immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint

When the Product Owner is ready

Next Monday

Question 67
Incorrect
When does inspection occur?

When the Product Owner finds necessary

Correct answer
Frequently, but not so often that gets in the way of work.

Your answer is incorrect
All the time

At the Sprint Review

Overall explanation
All Scrum events are opportunities for inspection and adaptation. Inspection makes adaptation possible and that's why it's important. However, like anything else in Agile, we just like to have "enough" of it.

Question 68
Incorrect
A Scrum Team uses 2-week Sprints and time box their Sprint Planning to 6 hours. Does this break the rules of Scrum?

Correct answer
No

Your answer is incorrect
Yes

Overall explanation
The concept of "event duration proportional to the sprint duration" used to be mandatory but it has been abandoned in the last updates of the Scrum Guide. It's now only best practice but not mandatory so no rule is broken here.

Question 69
Correct
The practice of Product Backlog refinement focuses on items for upcoming Sprints, not the current Sprint in progress.

False

Your answer is correct
True

Overall explanation
Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog. The Items in the current Sprint are no longer on the Product Backlog, because they are now on the Sprint Backlog. However, it is certainly fine for the Product Owner to add detail and clarification to the current Sprint’s work as well.

Question 70
Correct
What enhances the transparency of an increment?

Your answer is correct
Doing all work needed to meet the definition of "Done"

Reporting Sprint progress to the stakeholders daily

Updating sprint tasks property in the electronic tracking tool

Keeping track of and estimating all undone work to be completed in a separate Sprint

Overall explanation
When a Product Backlog item or an Increment is described as “Done”, everyone must understand what “Done” means. Although this may vary significantly per Scrum Team, members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency.

Question 71
Correct
Which three questions can be answered by all Development Team members at the Daily Scrum?

Choose 3 answers

Your selection is correct
What impediments are in my way or in the way of the team?

Why were you late?

How many hours did I spend on the project yesterday?

How is the Sprint proceeding?

Your selection is correct
What work am I going to do today to help the team achieve its goal?

Your selection is correct
What work did I do yesterday to help the team achieve its goal?

Overall explanation
The structure of the meeting is set by the Development Team and can be conducted in different ways if it focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal. Some Development Teams will use questions, some will be more discussion based. Here is an example of what might be used:

  • What did I do yesterday that helped the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?

  • What will I do today to help the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?

  • Do I see any impediment that prevents me or the Development Team from meeting the Sprint Goal?

Question 72
Incorrect
Who can do the legwork of gathering the marketplace data for the Product Owner? (choose the best answer)

The Scrum Team

Subject matter experts

Your answer is incorrect
Only the Product Owner

Correct answer
Anyone can do the legwork

Overall explanation
The Product Owner may or may not be the one doing the legwork of gathering the marketplace data, but he/she should definitely be aware of said data/research.

Question 73
Correct
When a product grows, it is quite possible that the Product Owner will get help from other Product Managers and others in the organization who interact regarding the customer facing activities and knowledge of the product marketplace. Is it a good idea for the Product Owner to proxy or outsource some of their duties to these people (for example, Scrum Team facing duties)?

Your answer is correct
No

Yes

Overall explanation
When a product grows, it is quite possible that the Product Owner will get help from other Product Managers and others in the organization who interact regarding the customer facing activities and knowledge of the product marketplace. While it is fine for the Product Owner to be aided by the aforementioned people, it is NOT acceptable for him/her to attempt to proxy or outsource their Product Ownership duties, especially the Scrum Team facing duties.

Question 74
Correct
What activities would a Product owner typically undertake in the phase between the end of the current Sprint and the start of the next Sprint?

Refine the Product Backlog

Your answer is correct
There are no such activities. The next Sprint starts immediately after the current Sprint

Work with the QA departments on the increment of the current Sprint

Update the project plan with stakeholders

Question 75
Correct
Which of these may a Development Team deliver at the end of a Sprint?

Failing unit tests, to identify acceptance tests for the next Sprint

Your answer is correct
An increment of working software that is "done"

An increment of software with minor known bugs in it

A single document, if that is what the Scrum Master asked for

Overall explanation
Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback. Incremental deliveries of “Done” product ensure a potentially useful version of working product is always available.

Question 76
Correct
Which two metrics will help a Product Owner establish that value is being delivered?

Productivity

Your selection is correct
Customer satisfaction

Velocity

Your selection is correct
Time to market

Budget

Overall explanation
EBM guide: Customer Satisfaction KVM and Time to Market KVA.
Budget, velocity and productivity do not contribute directly to capturing Product value.

Question 77
Correct
Which of the following is a prerequisite for starting the Sprint Planning meeting?

Having the requirements specified and completely reflected in the Product Backlog

Having the Product Backlog items cleared and assigned to developers

Having the items at the top of the Product Backlog small enough to fit in one Sprint

Your answer is correct
None

Overall explanation
We prefer to have "ready" items at the top of the Product Backlog before Sprint Planning, which is done through Product Backlog refinement. However, nothing stops our flow of Sprints. For example, we do not delay the Sprint because the items are not ready. In such cases, the "unready" items would be selected for the Sprint and refined during the Sprint. "Ready" items are those that are clear and small enough to fit into one Sprint.

Question 78
Correct
Once the definition of "Done" is decided upon, it may never change.

Your answer is correct
False

True

Overall explanation
As Scrum Teams mature, it is expected that their definitions of “Done” will expand to include more stringent criteria for higher quality. New definitions, as used, may uncover work to be done in previously “Done” increments. Any one product or system should have a definition of “Done” that is a standard for any work done on it

Question 79
Correct
Which Scrum Value is impacted by trust?

Commitment

Openness

Your answer is correct
All of the above

Courage

Respect

Focus

Overall explanation
Without trust, team members will have difficulties acting and behaving in the ways that reflect the Scrum values and how effective they apply empiricism.

Question 80
Correct
Which of the following is required by Scrum?

Release Planning

All of the above

Sprint Burndown Chart

Your answer is correct
Sprint Retrospective

Members must stand up at the Daily Scrum

Overall explanation
Scrum prescribes four formal events for inspection and adaptation:

  • Sprint Planning

  • Daily Scrum

  • Sprint Review

  • Sprint Retrospective

Question 81
Correct
When multiple teams are working on the same product, their Sprints should start and end at the same time.

True

Your answer is correct
False

Overall explanation
It's not mandatory in Scrum.org to start and end the Sprints at the same time. That makes it much more difficult to manage the whole project. It's not mandatory, because you may need it in certain cases: maybe some teams are working on parts of the project that need longer Sprints (four-week), while others need shorter ones (two-week) for shorter feedback loops.

Question 82
Correct
The Sprint Backlog must be detailed enough that…

Your answer is correct
Changes in progress can be understood in the Daily Scrum

Every task is identified when the Sprint Backlog is first created

The Product Owner can understand what everyone is working on

Stakeholders can monitor progress at task level

Overall explanation
The Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Backlog is a forecast by the Development Team about what functionality will be in the next Increment and the work needed to deliver that functionality into a “Done” Increment.

The Sprint Backlog makes visible all the work that the Development Team identifies as necessary to meet the Sprint Goal. To ensure continuous improvement, it includes at least one high priority process improvement identified in the previous Retrospective meeting.

The Sprint Backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the Daily Scrum. The Development Team modifies the Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal.

Question 83
Correct
How much of the Sprint Backlog must be defined during the sprint Planning meeting?

Just enough to understand design and architectural implications

Just enough tasks for the Scrum Master to be confident in the Development Team's understanding of the Sprint

Your answer is correct
Enough so the Development Team can create its best forecast of what it can do, and to start the first several days of the Sprint

The entire Sprint backlog must be identified and estimated by the end of the Sprint planning meeting

Question 84
Correct
Which three of the following are true about Scrum?

Choose 3 answers.

Scrum is a methodology, where you can pick and choose which parts of Scrum you think will work for your environment

Your selection is correct
Scrum is based on empirical process control theory

Scrum is like traditional processes but with self-organization to replace Project managers

Your selection is correct
Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose, and is essential to Scrum's success and your usage of Scrum to develop complex products

Your selection is correct
Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products

Overall explanation
Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk.

Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control: transparency, inspection, and adaptation.

Question 85
Correct
Technical debt… (choose the best three answers)

Your selection is correct
is a real risk which can genuinely be incurred

is a lack of technical supplies

Your selection is correct
reflects some extra development work

Your selection is correct
compromises long-term quality of the Product

belongs entirely to the Development Team. No one else needs to know about it.

Overall explanation
Technical debt is a concept in programming that reflects the extra development work that arises when code that is easy to implement in the short run is used instead of applying the best overall solution. In other words it can be defined as the longer term consequences of poor design decisions. Technical debt is a real risk which can genuinely be incurred. It compromises long­-term quality of the Product. One of the ways of handling technical debt is recording it on the Product Backlog. So, it becomes visible to the Scrum Team.

Question 86
Correct
Which of the following limits work in progress?

Your answer is correct
Using Timeboxes

Your amount of work expected

Having Sprint Retrospectives

Having Sprint Reviews

Using Product Backlogs

Overall explanation
When using timeboxes, you have a rather small and relatively clear scope for the timebox, and your goal is to complete as many items as possible. This limits the amount of work you can have in progress.

Question 87
Incorrect
Who identifies the Key Stakeholders for the Product?

The Development Team

The Scrum Master

Correct answer
The Product Owner

Your answer is incorrect
The Upper Management

The Scrum Team

Question 88
Incorrect
When is it time to integrate the code?

Before each release

Your answer is incorrect
At the end of each Sprint

At the end of the project

Correct answer
Frequently, during the Sprint

Overall explanation
You can't know if the code will work properly, unless you integrate it with the rest of the code. That's why we have continuous integration in Agile, which can happen multiple times a day.

Question 89
Correct
Which of the following refers to the average amount of work done per Sprint?

Your answer is correct
Velocity

Burn-down rate

Capacity

Performance

Overall explanation
Velocity is the amount of work (usually in "story points") done per Sprint.

Question 90
Correct
Scrum is an iterative and incremental Agile framework.

Your answer is correct
True

False

Overall explanation
Scrum is iterative because processes are repeated in each Sprint. It's incremental because it delivers the product in multiple incremental steps instead of in a big bang. And of course it's Agile (adaptive instead of predictive).

Question 91
Correct
If burndown charts are used to visualize progress, what does a trend through a release burndown chart indicates

When all work will be completed so the Scrum Team can be released for other work

When the project will be over if the Product owner removes work that is equal in effort to any new work that is added

Your answer is correct
When the work remaining will likely be completed if nothing changes on the Product Backlog or the Development Team

The evolution of the cost spent on the project

Question 92
Correct
A Scrum Team is only allowed to meet with stakeholders during Sprint review

Your answer is correct
False

True

Question 93
Correct
The Scrum Master is responsible for?

Your answer is correct
Ensuring Scrum is understood and enacted

Delivering the Product on budget and to the agreed schedule

Coordinating the work of the Development Team

Solving all impediments

Question 94
Correct
When does the second Sprint start?

After the customer completes acceptance testing of the first Sprint

After the Product Backlog for the second Sprint has been selected

Once the architectural changes for the second Sprint have been approved by the senior architect

Your answer is correct
Immediately after the first Sprint

Question 95
Correct
At the end of the Sprint, all items are done except for one that is almost done. What should be done with this item?

Demonstrate it in the Sprint Review meeting, if the item is presentable in its current state.

Your answer is correct
Do not include it in the Increment.

It can be added to the Increment if the customer accepts it.

It can be added to the Increment if the user acceptance tests are done.

Overall explanation
a. Everything in the Increment must be Done; i.e., 100% DONE! If an item is not done, we won't include it in the Increment and send it back to the Product Backlog.

b. The Increment contains only 100% DONE items.

c. We only present the Increment, and the Increment contains only the DONE items.

d. The Increment contains only 100% DONE items.

Question 96
Correct
What are three benefits of self-organization?

Choose 3 answers.

Increased accuracy of estimates

Your selection is correct
Increased creativity

Your selection is correct
Increased commitment

Your selection is correct
Increased self-accountability

Increase rule compliance

Question 97
Correct
Development Teams should be set stretch goals by the Product Owner as part of Sprint Planning

Your answer is correct
False

True

Overall explanation
During Sprint Planning the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal.

Question 98
Incorrect
Which Scrum artifacts are ordered?

Your answer is incorrect
Only the Product Backlog

Correct answer
Both the Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog

None

Only the Sprint Backlog

Overall explanation
The Product Backlog is ordered (prioritized) based on the business value. The items in the Sprint Backlog follow the same order they had in the Product Backlog, therefore, are prioritized.

Question 99
Incorrect
Who monitors the remaining work of the Product Backlog?

The Scrum Team

Correct answer
The Product Owner

Your answer is incorrect
The Development Team

The Scrum Master

Overall explanation
The Product Owner is responsible for measuring the progress of the project and tracking the remaining work in the Product Backlog. The Development Team is responsible for measuring the progress of the Sprint and tracking the remaining work in the Sprint Backlog.

Question 100
Correct
As a Scrum Master, what would you strive for if five new Scrum Teams were to work on one product?

There should be five Product Backlogs and five Product Owners.

There should be five Product Owners, one for each Scrum Team.

Your answer is correct
The product has one Product Backlog and one Product Owner.

There should be five Product Backlogs and one Product Owner to manage them.

Overall explanation
For a single product there is one Product Backlog. For a single Product Backlog there is one Product Owner.

Question 101
Incorrect
What are three ways Scrum promotes self-organization?

Choose 3 answers

Your selection is correct
By being a lightweight framework

Correct selection
By the Development Team deciding what work to do in a Sprint

Your selection is correct
By removing titles for Development Team members

Your selection is incorrect
By preventing stakeholders from entering the development room

By not allowing documentation

Question 102
Incorrect
Who is responsible for the monitoring of the remaining work towards the Project Goal? (choose the best answer)

The Product Owner and The Development Team

Correct answer
The Product Owner

Your answer is incorrect
The Scrum Team

The Development Team

The Scrum Master

The Scrum Master and The Development Team

Overall explanation
The Product Owner tracks total work remaining at least every Sprint Review. The Product Owner compares this amount with work remaining at previous Sprint Reviews to assess progress toward completing projected work by the desired time for the goal. This information is made transparent to all stakeholders.

Question 103
Correct
The Increment must be released at the end of every Sprint

True

Your answer is correct
False

Overall explanation
The Increment can be released at the end of every Sprint, but it is not mandatory.

Question 104
Incorrect
The Product Owner must attend the Sprint Retrospective

Correct answer
True

Your answer is incorrect
False

Question 105
Incorrect
Management need to monitor progress on a daily basis and decide to do so by attending the Daily Scrum. What are the likely results?

Correct selection
The Development Team may end up with less time in the Daily Scrum to re-plan their work

Management will be able to better direct the work of the Development Team

Correct selection
The Development Team may be less open and transparent during the Daily Scrum

Correct selection
The Scrum Master may need to enforce the rule that only Development Team members participate in the Daily Scrum

Your selection is correct
Additional facilitation may be required to keep to the time box

Question 106
Correct
A Product Owner wants advice from the Scrum Master about estimating work in Scrum. Which of these is the guideline that a scrum Master should give?

Estimates must be in relative units

Product Backlog items must be estimated in story points

Estimates are made by the Product Owner, but are best checked with the Development Team

Your answer is correct
Estimates are made by the Development Team

Scrum forbids estimating

Question 107
Correct
Which statement best describes Scrum?

A clearly defined methodology that defines the software development process.

A manual for defining best practices for software development.

A clearly defined and predictable process that follows the principles of Computer Science.

Your answer is correct
A framework to address complex products in complex environments.

Overall explanation
Scrum is a framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products. This Guide contains the definition of Scrum. This definition consists of Scrum’s roles, events, artifacts, and the rules that bind them together. Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland developed Scrum; the Scrum Guide is written and provided by them. Together, they stand behind the Scrum Guide.

Question 108
Correct
Every Development Team should have:

At least one representative from each major software engineering discipline (like QA, Dev, UX)

One lead Developer and no more than 8 other members

Your answer is correct
The competencies and skills needed to deliver a Done Increment in a Sprint

Overall explanation
Development Teams have the following characteristics:

  • They are self-organizing. No one (not even the Scrum Master) tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality;

  • Development Teams are cross-functional, with all the skills as a team necessary to create a product Increment;

  • Scrum recognizes no titles for Development Team members, regardless of the work being performed by the person;

  • Scrum recognizes no sub-teams in the Development Team, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and,

  • Individual Development Team members may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belongs to the Development Team as a whole.

Question 109
Incorrect
How often should Development Team membership change?

Every Sprint to promote shared learning

Correct answer
As needed while taking into account a short-term reduction in productivity

Your answer is incorrect
As needed, with no special allowance for changes in productivity

Never, because it reduces productivity

Question 110
Correct
Who determines how work is performed during the Sprint?

Subject matter experts

Your answer is correct
The Development Team

Architects

The Scrum Master

Development Team Managers

Overall explanation
The Development Team consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of “Done” product at the end of each Sprint. A “Done” increment is required at the Sprint Review. Only members of the Development Team create the Increment.

Development Teams are structured and empowered by the organization to organize and manage their own work. The resulting synergy optimizes the Development Team’s overall efficiency and effectiveness.

Question 111
Correct
Besides the normal items that are about the features of the product, each Sprint Backlog contains at least one item about improving the way we work.

False

Your answer is correct
True

Overall explanation
This is one of the statements added to the latest update of Scrum Guide: At least one high-priority process improvement item exists in each Sprint Backlog.

It was a little unexpected because it's mixing content related to the product with the content related to the process in the Sprint Backlog; but, well, that's how it is now.

Some of you may be thinking that we can't say there's always such items in Sprint Backlogs because there's no Sprint Retrospective before the first Sprint and therefore no such item in the backlog. This is true, but too detailed. If you see such a question in the exam, simply assume that there's always a process improvement item in the Sprint Backlog.

Question 112
Correct
When a product grows, it is quite possible that the PO will get help from other Product Managers and others in the organization who interact regarding the customer facing activities and knowledge of the product marketplace.

It is a good idea for the PO to proxy or outsource some of their PO Scrum Team duties to these people?

Yes

Your answer is correct
No

Overall explanation
While it is fine for the PO to be aided by the aforementioned people, it is NOT acceptable for the PO to attempt to proxy or outsource their PO Scrum Team duties.

Question 113
Incorrect
How much work must a Development team do to a Product Backlog item it selects for a Sprint?

Your answer is incorrect
A proportional amount of time on analysis, design, programming, testing and documentation

All development work and at least some testing

Correct answer
As much as it has told the Product Owner will be done for every Product backlog item it selects in conformance with the definition of "Done"

As much as it can fit into the Sprint. Any remaining work will be transferred to a subsequent Sprint

Question 114
Correct
Which are properties of the Daily Scrum?

Choose 2 answers.

It consists of the Scrum Master asking the Team members the three questions

It is held first thing in the morning

Your selection is correct
It is fifteen minutes or less in duration

It is facilitated by the team lead

Your selection is correct
Its location and time should remain constant

It is free form and designed to promote conversation

Overall explanation
The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team. The Daily Scrum is held every day of the Sprint. At it, the Development Team plans work for the next 24 hours. This optimizes team collaboration and performance by inspecting the work since the last Daily Scrum and forecasting upcoming Sprint work. The Daily Scrum is held at the same time and place each day to reduce complexity.

Question 115
Correct
The Product Owner’s authority to change and update the Product Backlog is unlimited, except for:

Decisions by the CFO, the CEO or the board of directors.

Technical and architectural work that needs to be done first, as indicated by the chief enterprisearchitect.

Your answer is correct
Nothing. The entire organization must respect a Product Owner's decisions.

High impact changes that have not been approved by the change request board.

Decisions by the chief program manager.

Work for which impediments exist that the Scrum Master still needs to resolve

Question 116
Incorrect
What factor should be considered when deciding to release an increment?

The risks associated with releasing

The cost and benefits of upgrading

Correct answer
All answers are some possible things that should be considered when deciding to release an increment

Your answer is incorrect
Customers ability to absorb the new release

Question 117
Incorrect
If it's not possible to complete the Sprint Backlog, who would try to resolve it?

Correct answer
The Development Team and the Product Owner

The Scrum Team

The Scrum Master

The Product Owner

Your answer is incorrect
The Development Team

Overall explanation
First of all, it's OK of the Sprint Backlog is not complete until the end of the Sprint. However, we would try to complete it if it's possible. When the developers find out they are behind schedule they will ask the Product Owner for help and the two roles together will adjust the work (tasks), or reorder the times to make sure the highest value will be created at the end of the Sprint.

Question 118
Correct
Which of the following does NOT apply to/suit Scrum?

Difficult to master

Based on empirical process control

Your answer is correct
Static requirements

Process framework used to address complex products

Overall explanation
Agile is all about depending on adaptation, instead of predictive (static, upfront) plan and design.

Question 119
Correct
How should a Development Team deal with non-functional requirements?

Your answer is correct
Ensure every Increment meets them

Assign them to the lead developers on the team

Handle them during the Integration sprint preceding the release sprint

Make sure the release department understands these requirements, but it is not the Development Team's responsibility

Question 120
Correct
Who determines when it as appropriate to update the Sprint backlog during a Sprint?

The Scrum Team

The Project Manager

The Product Owner

Your answer is correct
The Development Team

Overall explanation
The Sprint Backlog is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Development Team plans to accomplish during the Sprint, and it belongs solely to the Development Team.
