B. Sprint
C. Sprint Planning
D. Backlog Maintenance
E. Sprint Retrospective
F. Daily Scrum

Question#2

To ensure that there is no gap between the customer's expectation from the project, and the deliverables produced, the Scrum Master has to eliminate environmental obstructions that the team may face, that may affect the quality of the deliverables. To do so, apart from Quality Planning, the team has to ensure Quality Control, and Quality Assurance.
Which of the following statements is true regarding Quality Assurance and Quality Control?

A. Quality Control involves execution of planned quality activities; Quality Assurance involves carrying out integration-type activities.
B. Quality Control lessons are learned during the Sprint Retrospect meeting; Quality Assurance is demonstrated during the Sprint Review Meeting.
C. Quality Control activities are carried out during the process of Creating Deliverables that are potentially shippable; Quality Assurance activities are usually standalone activities, not carried out as part of the work.
D. Specific skills are not required to perform Quality Control activities; Quality Assurance is a significant factor of the definition of Done.

Explanation:
Quality control refers to the execution of the planned quality activities by the Scrum Team in the process of creating deliverables that are potentially shippable. It also includes learning from each set of completed activities in order to achieve continuous improvement. Within the cross-functional team, it is important to have the skills necessary to perform quality control activities. During the Sprint Retrospect Meeting, team members discuss lessons learned. These lessons act as inputs into continuous improvement and contribute to the improvement of ongoing quality control.
Quality is required not only in products, but also in processes. Quality assurance refers to the evaluation of processes and standards that govern quality management in a project to ensure that they continue to be relevant. Quality assurance activities are carried out as part of the work. In fact, quality assurance is a significant factor of the definition of Done. The deliverable isn’t complete if appropriate quality assurance has not been conducted. Often, quality assurance is demonstrated during the Sprint Review Meeting.

Question#3

A Scrum Team suggests to have a project with 3 Sprints of 2 weeks, while the customer suggests 1 Sprint of 6 weeks.

A. The customer has to invest fewer time.
B. The team can inspect and adapt 2 times.
C. The team delivers more Story Points.

Question#4

A large company of more than 400 people changes from the Waterfall to the Agile framework. The company uses the approach of applying Scrum to all projects in the organization using an all-in scenario. The leaders are reluctant to fully commit to Scrum and there are no experienced Scrum Masters available within the organization yet. Six months later, Scrum has failed in the company. Many different applications of Scrum have been tried with varying degrees of success. The company gives up and returns to the Waterfall approach.
What is the most likely reason that the transition did not work?

A. Scrum was not properly promoted as a best practice and the best way to solve the problems of the organization which created a big risk.
B. The change to Agile was not disruptive enough to provoke a real change and there was not enough commitment to keeping the new process.
C. The company was too large to transition easily. A successful pilot project should have been done first, to be able to copy from.
D. There was no public display of Agility and, therefore, customers kept asking for Waterfall projects. The company gave up too early.

Question#5

What is one of the risks if the Scrum Master is also a programmer on the team?

A. The Scrum Master does not have the required people skills.
B. The Scrum Master cannot stay away from critical path activities.
