Select three incorrect, untrue, or misleading statements about Scrum?

• Scrum is a methodology where you can pick and choose which parts of Scrum you think will work for your environment.
• Scrum is like traditional processes but with self-organization to replace Project Managers.
• Scrum is a framework that eliminates complexity.
• Scrum is based on empirical process control theory.
• Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and your usage of Scrum to develop complex products.

The length of a Sprint should be:

• Short enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner.
• Short enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events.
• No more than one month.
• All of these answers are correct.

Scrum does not have a role called "project manager."

• True
• False

When many Development Teams are working on a single product, what best describes the definition of "Done?"

• Each Development Team defines and uses its own. The differences are discussed and reconciled during a hardening Sprint.
• Each Development Team uses its own but must make their definition clear to all other teams so the differences are known.
• All Development Teams must have a definition of "Done" that makes their combined work potentially releasable.
• It depends.

When does a Development Team member become the sole owner of a Sprint Backlog item?

• At the Sprint planning meeting.
• Never. All Sprint Backlog Items are "owned" by the entire Development Team, even though each one may be implemented by an individual development team member.
• Whenever a team member can accommodate more work.
• During the Daily Scrum.

The maximum length of the Sprint Review (its time-box) is:

• 2 hours.
• 4 hours for a monthly Sprint. For shorter Sprints it is usually shorter.
• As long as needed.
• 1 day.
• 4 hours and longer as needed.

The Product Backlog is ordered by:

• Size, where small items are at the top and large items are at the bottom.
• Risk, where safer items are at the top, and riskier items are at the bottom.
• Least valuable items at the top to most valuable at the bottom.
• Items are randomly arranged.
• Whatever is deemed most appropriate by the Product Owner.

The Development Team should have all the skills needed to:

• Complete the project as estimated when the date and cost are committed to the Product Owner.
• Do all of the development work, except for specialized testing that requires additional tools and environments.
• Turn the Product Backlog items it selects into an increment of potentially releasable product functionality.

The time-box for a Daily Scrum is?

• The same time of day every day.
• Two minutes per person.
• 4 hours.
• 15 minutes.
• 15 minutes for a 4 week sprint. For shorter Sprints it is usually shorter.

Who creates the definition of "Done"?

• The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization)
• The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members' definitions
• The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product's success
• The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team's productivity
