Answer

Questions # 43:

A Scrum team has worked hard to reach their sprint goal, but impediments have prevented them from succeeding. The team needed help from a specialist on another team, but the specialist was on a 2-week vacation.

What should the scrum master do?

Options:

At the sprint retrospective, the scrum master and development team should discuss why the team did not know the specialist was unavailable during the sprint. The scrum master should then set clear rules so situations like these can be avoided in the future.

It can be very distressing for a Scrum team not to reach its sprint goals. The scrum master should hold an evaluation meeting to discuss who in the team was responsible for discovering the specialist was not available, then make an improvement task for the next sprint.

The scrum master, as a servant leader, should always try to remain positive about the team's work. Even when team members’ make mistakes, there should be trust that everyone is doing their best. Engaged team members work more efficiently, and a sustainable pace is important for project success.

At the sprint retrospective, the Scrum team should reflect on how the past sprint has worked out. The scrum master should facilitate an open discussion to discover the root causes for the missed sprint goals and find a way to avoid similar situations in future sprints.

Answer

Explanation

The Scrum retrospective is the appropriate place for the team to reflect on what went well and what didn’t, including the missed sprint goals. The Scrum master should facilitate an open and constructive discussion about the impediments faced during the sprint, such as the unavailability of the specialist, and help the team find ways to avoid or mitigate similar issues in future sprints. This helps the team continuously improve and ensures that they are better prepared for future challenges.

Questions # 44:

There is a database feature requiring three members of a seven person team. A meeting is scheduled at the beginning of the sprint to go over technical needs to complete the story. Who should the Scrum Master invite to the meeting?

Options:

The core team and the customer

The product owner and key stakeholders

The customer and the sponsor

The core team and the product owner

Answer

Questions # 45:

A scrum team has eight developers, but only two are database engineers. During the last few retrospectives, the team identified that most sprint stories are dependent upon database engineers. This has created a bottleneck in completing stories.

What should be proposed to the team?

Options:

Have other team developers attend training to learn database skills.

Monitor the retrospectives of two additional sprints before taking action.

Plan fewer stories for the sprint to reduce the database engineers' workload.

Ask the scrum master to work with the product owner to remove backlog stories that have database dependency.

Answer

Questions # 46:

A scrum team is experiencing lengthy discussions leading to no concrete actions during their scrum events. The scrum master determines that these inefficient meetings are producing waste.

What should the scrum master do to make the meetings more efficient?

Options:

Issue fixed agendas and a decision log for all scrum events to ensure that only relevant agenda points are discussed and decisions are appropriately captured.

Remind the team of the purpose of each scrum event, and implement a policy that long conversations deviating from the scope of each event will be stopped.

Ask the product owner to conduct these discussions in individual meetings with the team members.

Remind the team that staying on topic during meetings is part of being a self-managing team.

Answer

Explanation

The scrum master should first remind the team of the purpose and goals of each scrum event (such as the daily standup, sprint planning, sprint review, and retrospective) to ensure that they remain focused on their intended outcomes. The scrum master can then implement a policy that ensures discussions that deviate from the scope of the event are stopped. This approach keeps the team on track, prevents time-wasting conversations, and helps maintain the efficiency of the events.

This method empowers the team to stay focused on what is essential for each event and encourages self-management while still providing room for relevant discussions. In doing so, the team can achieve the desired outcomes of each scrum event without unnecessary delays.

Building openness and transparency on the project's health and status

Facilitating conflict resolution among executive team members

Using active stakeholder involvement to build features in an incremental and iterative approach

Seeking continuous feedback from executive team members

Answer

Ask the product owner for approval to proceed.

Answer
