Question 1 of 30
What are three incorrect, untrue, or misleading statements about Scrum?
(choose the best three answers)
A. Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential
to your ability to use Scrum to develop complex products.
B. Scrum is a framework that eliminates complexity.
C. Scrum is a methodology where you can pick and choose which parts of
Scrum you think will work for your environment.
D. Scrum is like traditional processes but with self-organization to replace
Project Managers.
E. Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking.
F. Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products.
Feedback
1. Scrum is meant to be implemented as prescribed in the Scrum Guide.
For example, the five events in the Scrum Guide are mandatory, each
event has a specific purpose.
2. Scrum does not eliminate the complexity that is inherent in delivering a
product in today’s world, instead it offers a framework for dealing with
complexity. By regularly delivering Increments of value teams gain the
ability to inspect and rapidly adapt based on the feedback received.
3. Project Managers are not simply replaced by self-managing teams.
Scrum is a framework for optimizing decision making based on the
knowledge and experience of the entire team.

Question 6 of 30
The CEO asks the Developers to add a "very important" item to a Sprint that is in progress.
What should the Developers do?
(choose the best answer)
A. Add the item to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint.
B. Add the item to the current Sprint Backlog and do whatever amount of work

decide what to do.

reduce the Sprint Goal.

The items selected for a Sprint have been selected as most valuable with the Product
Owner during Sprint Planning. The items serve the Sprint's goal. No changes should be
made that endanger the Sprint Goal. No one external to the Scrum Team can force
changes on the Developers.

B. Continually monitor staffing levels of the Scrum Team.
C. Identify and remove people that are not working hard enough.
D. Monitor the progress of the Developers on the Scrum Team.

Question 11 of 30
Upon what type of process control is Scrum based?
(choose the best answer)
A. Hybrid
B. Empirical
C. Defined
D. Complex
Feedback
Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism asserts that knowledge
comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed.
Question 12 of 30
True or False: The Scrum Team must choose at least one high priority process improvement
item, identified during the Sprint Retrospective, and place it in the Sprint Backlog.
True
False
Feedback
An earlier version of the Scrum Guide prescribed the practice of placing one
improvement in the Sprint Backlog. This was removed in the 2020 update to the Scrum
Guide because it was felt to be too prescriptive. However, if this practice provides value
to you then you should adopt it. It is simply not prescribed anymore, but can still be
valuable.

E. The Developers.
Feedback

adapt at the Daily Scrum. If the Product Owner or Scrum Master are actively working on
items in the Sprint Backlog, they participate as Developers, they will need to be at the
Daily Scrum.

and productivity in the short term.

Question 21 of 30
When does a Developer become the sole owner of an item on the Sprint Backlog?
(choose the best answer)
A. At the Sprint Planning event.
B. During the Daily Scrum.
C. Never. All Sprint Backlog items are "owned" by the Developers on the Scrum
Team.
D. Whenever a team member can accommodate more work.
Feedback
The entire Scrum Team is accountable for creating a valuable, useful Increment every
Sprint, and the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint are collectively
owned by the Developers. No individual Developer can claim ownership over an item as
this would block communication and collaboration. The Sprint Backlog is updated by the
Developers throughout the Sprint as more is learned.

necessary to meet the Sprint Goal. The Developers modify the Sprint Backlog throughout
the Sprint, and the Sprint Backlog emerges during the Sprint.

Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. Sprints are fixed length events of one
month or less to create consistency, and a new Sprint starts immediately after the
conclusion of the previous Sprint.
The Sprint Retrospective concludes the Sprint, and is timeboxed to a maximum of three
hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter
Though not typical, a Sprint can end if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. Only the
Product Owner has the authority to end the Sprint prematurely.
