Your Agile team is managing a project to develop a medical research database. The Burndown chart for the current Sprint shows a steep decline in the remaining work during the initial days, followed by a plateau, and then a sudden drop at the end. What does this chart pattern likely indicate, and how should the team react?

• The team faced frequent scope changes throughout the Sprint.

• The team is consistently working at an optimal pace, with no variations.

• The Burndown chart is malfunctioning and should be ignored.

• The team initially overestimated the work, then worked at an optimal pace, and finally rushed to complete the tasks.

Your Agile team is developing a project management software, and the stakeholders have identified several critical features. They want to prioritize these features for the next Sprint. The critical features include "task assignments," "real-time notifications," and "report generation." How should you prioritize these features effectively?

• Prioritize them alphabetically.

• Prioritize them based on the stakeholders' job titles.

• Prioritize them based on the perceived business value and impact on project success.

• Prioritize them randomly to keep it fair.

Your Agile Team notices that their Burndown Chart is not trending downwards as expected. What could this indicate?

• Underestimation of task complexity

• Overestimation of team velocity

• The team is ahead of schedule

• All tasks are completed

Your Agile team is working on a project to develop a complex AI-driven chatbot for customer support. As you review the Burndown chart for the current Sprint, you notice that the remaining work is steadily decreasing, but the team is not on track to meet the Sprint goal. What action should the Scrum Master take?

• • Extend the Sprint duration to accommodate the slower progress.

• • Reallocate resources to speed up the development process.

• • Update the Burndown chart to reflect the desired progress.

• • Investigate the discrepancies between the chart and the Sprint goal and take corrective actions.

Your Agile team is planning the next Sprint for a project to develop a cloud-based collaboration tool for remote teams. During the Sprint planning meeting, a team member suggests adding additional User Stories to address some long-standing technical debt. How should the team handle this suggestion?

• • Schedule a separate meeting with the Product Owner to discuss and prioritize the technical debt.

• • Reject the suggestion, as addressing technical debt should be a separate initiative.

• • Accept the suggestion and add the technical debt User Stories to the Sprint.

• • Assign the technical debt User Stories to a separate Sprint.

Your Agile team is tasked with developing a new mobile banking app. The Product Owner needs to create User Stories to capture the requirements effectively. The stakeholders have provided high-level expectations, such as "secure transactions" and "user-friendly interface." How should the Product Owner proceed to create actionable User Stories?

• • Group all high-level expectations into one User Story for simplicity.

• • Create User Stories like "Implement secure transactions" and "Design user-friendly interface."

• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather detailed requirements and create User Stories that are specific, measurable, and achievable.

• • Create User Stories with technical details to guide the development team.

You are in charge of a development team that consists of 5 experienced developers. Your team has demonstrated a stable velocity of 18 story points for each of the past 4 one-week sprints.

Team Velocity: 18

• Span of Current Release: 13
