The level of uncertainty over the technology to be used.

3398/9651 people choices

The risk of being disconnected from the stakeholders.

09:24 pm March 14, 2019

There are two essential considerations to balance, both of which relate to risk and uncertainty.

• Disconnection from stakeholders will increase uncertainty about the work being performed,
due to attenuated feedback. Shorter sprints provide more formal opportunities for
inspection and adaptation, and by making Sprint Goals more modest, the risk presented by
any failure would decrease. If there is little stakeholder disconnection then longer sprints
might be countenanced.

• The more uncertain a Development Team is about the technology needed to build "Done"
product increments, the less predictive they can be about any forecast of work. Shorter
sprint cycles, by reducing the quantity of work to be estimated and the scope of any
associated Sprint Goal, can reduce the risk presented by any failure. If the team are
confident regarding technical matters, then the reliability of any forecast they make is likely
to increase. More work can be taken on, more ambitious goals can be attempted, and sprint
cycles can potentially be longer.

65. Question A Product Owner can measure success by an increase in the team’s velocity.
True
False
Incorrect Velocity is a measure of the amount of work a Team can tackle during a single Sprint and
is the key metric in Scrum. Velocity is calculated at the end of the Sprint by totaling the Points for
all fully completed User Stories. It is not a measure for success i.e. higher velocity doesn’t always
translate to successful product.

User documentation is part of your definition of "Done." However, there aren't enough technical writers for all teams. Your
Development Team doesn't have a technical writer. What should you do?

(choose the best answer)

 Let the user documentation remain undone and accumulate until after the last development Sprint. It will then be done by
any available technical writers.

True

False
inal answer:
Dependencies indeed influence how the product owner orders product backlog items, as they dictate the
sequence in which work can be completed efficiently and effectively, hence the given statement is true.
Explanation:
In Agile project management and Scrum, dependencies are a critical factor that can impact the prioritization of
product backlog items. Dependencies refer to the relationship among tasks or features where one cannot start
or complete until another has been started or completed. This interlinking means that the product owner must
carefully consider these dependencies when organizing the backlog to ensure a smooth, efficient workflow and
timely project delivery.
For example, if Feature A needs data from Feature B to operate correctly, the product owner must prioritize
Feature B higher in the backlog to avoid delays in development. Similarly, cross-team dependencies, where
one team's output is necessary for another team to proceed with their work, significantly impact backlog
ordering. Understanding and managing these dependencies are crucial for the product owner to maximize the
value created by the development team for each iteration of the product.

Q: Your quiz contains a question that asks to check all the opportunities to
inspect and adapt from a list. There is “Sprint” option. Why it is considered as
incorrect?
Mikhail: The idea is simple. Sprint is a special event that is nothing more than a time-box for other events. The Scrum Guide
explains it in this way: “Other than the Sprint itself, which is a container for all other events, each event in Scrum is a formal
opportunity to inspect and adapt something.”

Value of Product Backlog items.

A Scrum Team has been working on a product for 9 Sprints. A new Product Owner comes in,
understanding he is accountable for Product Backlog. However, he is unsure about the purpose of
the Product Backlog. He's read that the Product Backlog should be a list of all user features for the
product. He goes to the Scrum Master asking where to put the other types of requirements that are
going to be taken into account. Are all of the following types of requirements acceptable on a
Product Backlog?
• Stability requirements
• Performance requirements
• Product Functionality
• Documentation
• Fixes
(choose the best answer)

No. Product Backlog is a tool for the Product Owner. The Product Owner represents the users and
stakeholders. Other types of requirements should be managed separately by the Development
Team. They are not the Product Owner's concern.
2123/5171 people choices

Yes, they all belong on the Product Backlog. Product Backlog is supposed to be the 'single source
of truth' for all the work for the product.
