Category: Scrum TheoryOnce the Product Owner gained his Product Vision and defined the tactics of bringing this vision to life, it is a bad idea to change them before the next Product Release.
CorrectThe PO should never be afraid to change the vision or tactics based on marketplace changes. Being able to strategically re-pivot and capture value in new and different ways is one of the key benefits of an Agile mindset.

- Question 54 of 80
54. Question
Category: Scrum TheoryHow frequently product releases should occur?
CorrectWhile Scrum doesn’t require a release to occur every Sprint, it should be noted that the more elapsed time that accumulates since the last release, the higher the risk that the product’s value will get out of line with the marketplace. Product Owners should keep this risk in the forefront of their mind. Looking at it another way, the sooner you release, the sooner you can start capturing the value created by the product.

Category: Scrum TheoryWhat factors should be considered by the Product Owner in the release decision (select four)?
CorrectWhile Scrum doesn’t require a release to occur every Sprint, it should be noted that the more elapsed time that accumulates since the last release, the higher the risk that the product’s value will get out of line with the marketplace. Product Owners should keep this risk in the forefront of their mind.
Another factor in the release decision is whether your customers can actually absorb your frequent releases. Most customers approach this upgrade decision using a common sense method of weighing the costs and benefits of the upgrade(new increment). This is all the more reason to make sure that your releases are of the utmost value, and offer relatively low absorption costs. Regardless of the benefits and costs, some customers will still be constrained, so this constraint should be a consideration when deciding how often or whether to release.
The PO is the one and only person who can decide whether to release the latest increment of the product.

Category: Scrum TeamWho are the typical Key Stakeholders (select three)?
CorrectAccording to the Scrum Glossary, a stakeholder is “a person external to the Scrum Team with a specific interest in and knowledge of a product that is required for incremental discovery. Represented by the Product Owner and actively engaged with the Scrum Team at Sprint Review.”
Typically, they fall into one of three broad categories:- The Users – The human people who actually use the product under development
- The External Customers – The people responsible for paying to use the product
- The Internal Customers – The people responsible for making the funding decisions for the product development effort

Category: Scrum ArtifactsWhat are the characteristics of a Product Backlog Item that is “Ready” for selection in a Sprint Planning? Select three.
CorrectHigher ordered Product Backlog items are usually clearer and more detailed than lower ordered ones. More precise estimates are made based on the greater clarity and increased detail; the lower the order, the less detail. Product Backlog items that will occupy the Development Team for the upcoming Sprint are refined so that any one item can reasonably be “Done” within the Sprint time-box. Product Backlog items that can be “Done” by the Development Team within one Sprint are deemed “Ready” for selection in a Sprint Planning.

Category: Scrum EventsThe Sprint Review is just a demo of the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint. Do you agree?
CorrectNo. The Sprint Review contains much more activities to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog.
For example:- The Product Owner also explains what has not been “Done”;
- The entire group collaborates on what to do next, so that the Sprint Review provides valuable input to subsequent Sprint Planning;
- Review of the timeline, budget, potential capabilities, and marketplace for the next anticipated releases of functionality.

Category: Scrum TheorySelect the three best options to finish the sentence below.
Technical debt …
CorrectTechnical debt is a concept in programming that reflects the extra development work that arises when code that is easy to implement in the short run is used instead of applying the best overall solution. In other words it can be defined as the longer term consequences of poor design decisions. Technical debt is a real risk which can genuinely be incurred. It compromises long-term quality of the Product.
One of the ways of handling technical debt is recording it on the Product Backlog. So, it becomes visible to the Scrum Team.
