Answer : D

Sprint Backlog is owned by the Development Team. The Scrum Guide states that ''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 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.''

Answer : D

The Sprint Backlog is the Development Team's plan for the Sprint, as stated in the Scrum Guide1: ''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.''

Answer : B, D, E

According to the Scrum Guide1, Scrum promotes self-organization by giving autonomy and empowerment to the Developers who decide how to do their work within a Sprint. The Developers have no titles other than Developer, regardless of their specialization or skills. Scrum is a lightweight framework that minimizes prescription and maximizes flexibility and adaptability.

Answer : B

The correct answer is B, because there is no role called ''Project Manager'' in Scrum. The Scrum Guide states that ''Scrum recognizes no titles for Development Team members other than Developer, regardless of the work being performed by the person; there are no exceptions to this rule.'' Therefore, Scrum has only three roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developer.

Answer : B

The next Sprint begins immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint, as stated in the Scrum Guide: ''Sprints have consistent durations throughout a development effort. A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint.''

Answer : B

The correct answer is B, because the Development Team determines how work is performed during the Sprint. The Scrum Guide states that ''development Teams 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.'' Therefore, the Development Team has the autonomy and responsibility to organize and manage its own work.
