Question: Which of the following best describes a sprint?

The correct answer was:
A sprint is a condensed amount of time in which a development team works as many hours as they
need to in order to finish the work assigned to them.
A sprint is a pre-specified amount of time in which the development team works at a sustainable
pace to complete a chosen set of work.
A sprint is a fied amount of time set aside for a team to run tests and fi any outstanding bugs right
before the product ships.
A sprint is a pre-specified period of time during which team members choose individual items from
the product backlog to work on. as each item is completed! a new item is brought into the sprint.

The concepts of sprints! sustainable pace! and a sprint backlog are discussed in the following sources:
$crum %rimer! &ountain 'oat $oftware website! and the $crum 'uide.
()ne of the principles of agile development is *sustainable pace!+ and only by working regular hours
at a reasonable level can teams continue ,running sprints- indefinitely.( $crum %rimer
($crum pro.ects make progress in a series of sprints! which are timeboed iterations no more than a
month long. At the start of a sprint! team members commit to delivering some number of features that
were listed on the pro.ect/s product backlog. At the end of the sprint! these features are done--they are
coded! tested! and integrated into the evolving product or system. At the end of the sprint a sprint
review is conducted during which the team demonstrates the new functionality to the product owner
and other interested stakeholders who provide feedback that could influence the net sprint.(

Question #1;
Question: Why does $crum make it difficult for product owners to make changes to a sprint that is
underway?
The correct answer was:
Eecause the team needs to be able to limit the authority of the product owner
Eecause asking the team to make a real commitment comes with an associated cost of not shifting
the basis of that commitment in mid-sprint
Eecause the team and product owner want to keep upper management in the dark about planned
changes
Eecause it provides an incentive for the product owner to attend the meetings
"orrect Answer #planation:
Arom $crum %rimer: ()ne of the pillars of $crum is that once the Team makes its commitment! any
additions or changes must be deferred until the net sprint. This means that if halfway through the
sprint the product owner decides there is a new item he or she would like the team to work on! he
cannot make the change until the start of the net sprint. Ff an eternal circumstance appears that
significantly changes priorities! and means the team would be wasting its time if it continued working!
the product owner or the team can terminate the sprint. The team stops! and a new sprint planning
meeting initiates a new sprint. The disruption of doing this is usually greatH this serves as a
disincentive for the product owner or team to resort to this dramatic decision.(

Question: Which of the following best describes the product backlog items that are lower in priority?
The correct answer was:
#very product backlog item! even those very low in priority! should be defined well enough to be
completed during a sprint.

The correct answer was:
The team is on track to complete all the items in the sprint.

The picture shown here is from The $crum %rimer. Ft shows work remaining that is higher than the
ideali7ed trendline. The team may still finish all its items but is currently trending toward having
some items incomplete at the end of the sprint.
(Ff the burndown line is not tracking downwards towards completion near the end of the $print! then
the Team needs to ad.ust! such as to reduce the scope of the work or to find a way to work more
efficiently while still maintaining a sustainable pace.( The $crum %rimer.

GereNs a similar chart and eplanation from &ountain'oat$oftware.com:
The team does its best to pull the right amount of work into the sprint but sometimes too much or too
little work is pulled in during the sprint planning meeting Fn this case the team needs to add or remove
tasks. Fn the above sprint burndown chart you can see that the team had pulled in too much work
initially and still had nearly RWW hours to go on CSBRSWV. Fn this case the product owner was consulted
and it was agreed to remove some work from the sprint! which resulted in the big drop on the chart
between CSBRSWV ,RBZ hours- and CSB[SWV. Arom there the team made good consistent progress and
finished the sprint successfully.
