Scrum PSM-I Professional Scrum Master I Exam Practice Test

Answer : B, D

According to the Scrum Guide1, the definition of ''Done'' is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. The definition guides the Development Team in creating a ''Done'' Increment. The definition of ''Done'' is created by the development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization). The definition of ''Done'' may vary significantly per Scrum Team, depending on the context. One aspect of Scrum Teams inspecting how they work toward their Product Goal is that they improve their definition of ''Done'' over time. Therefore, if a Product Backlog item worked on during the Sprint does not meet the definition of ''Done'', two things that should happen with the undone Product Backlog item are:

Put it on the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to decide what to do with it, as they are accountable for effective Product Backlog management and ordering.

Do not include the item in the Increment this Sprint, as it does not meet the quality standards and may compromise value.

The other options are not appropriate, as they may compromise transparency, inspection, or adaptation.

Answer : C, E

Correct Answer: C and E

Short Explanation: According to the Scrum Guide 20201, the product has one Product Backlog, which is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team. The Product Backlog is ordered by the Product Owner, who is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. There should be only one Product Owner per product, who may represent the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog, but those wanting to change a Product Backlog item's priority must address the Product Owner1. Having multiple Product Owners or Product Backlogs would create confusion, inconsistency, and waste in the Scrum process.

Answer : D

According to the Scrum Guide, the Scrum Team is responsible for removing a Developer from the Scrum Team if necessary, as they are self-managing and accountable for creating valuable Increments. The other options are not valid, as they imply that someone else outside the Scrum Team has the authority to remove a Developer (such as the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, or the hiring manager), which is not consistent with Scrum values and principles.

Answer : B

According to the Scrum Guide, a self-organizing Development Team chooses how to best accomplish its work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. The other options are not choices that a self-organizing Development Team makes, as they are either determined by the Scrum framework (such as Sprint length and Product Backlog ordering) or by collaboration with other roles (such as stakeholders for the Sprint Review and when to release).

Answer : B

Answer : A

According to the Scrum Guide, a Development Team is cross-functional if it has all the skills to create a potentially releasable Increment by the end of every Sprint. The other options are not indicators of cross-functionality, as they are either specific practices (such as pair programming or test driven development) or irrelevant factors (such as conflicts within the team or ability to perform every task).

Answer : D

According to the Scrum Guide1, the definition of ''Done'' is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. The definition of ''Done'' is created by the development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization). The definition guides the Development Team in creating a ''Done'' Increment.
