D)
It identifies undone work that can be addressed in a separate Sprint.
Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
All Scrum Team members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be
complete, to ensure transparency. This is the definition of "Done" for the Scrum Team and is
used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment. The Increment reviewed at the
Sprint Review must be useable, so a Product Owner may choose to immediately release it.

E)
The stakeholders are not happy with the value produced in the previous Sprint.
Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint.

Question 3 of 15
In order to make investment decisions, the Product Owner is likely to look at the
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the product being built. What costs will a
Product Owner take into account?
Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A)
The money spent on development of the product, often a fixed cost per Sprint
multiplied by the Sprints required

B)
All investments required to conceive, develop, operate and maintain the product

C)
The accumulated cost over the earned value of the product
Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
The owner of a product is not only accountable for development and release of a product, but
also the cost of maintaining and operating the product. If a person 'owns' the product, he/she can
be expected to be responsible for the complete lifecycle of a product.

Question 4 of 15
The Product Owner's authority to change and update the Product Backlog is
unlimited, except for:
Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

F)
Work for which impediments exist that the Scrum Master still needs to resolve.
Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
For the Product Owner to succeed, the entire organization must respect his or her decisions. No
one is allowed to tell the Development Team to work from a different set of requirements, and
the Development Team isn't allowed to act on what anyone else says.

Question 5 of 15
It is mandatory for the Product Owner to monitor and share progress of Product
Backlog through:
Correct answer: D)
You chose: D)

A)
A Product or Release burn-down chart

B)
A Value burn-up chart

C)
A Gantt chart

D)
Any projective practice based on trends of work completed and upcoming work

E)
A Sprint Review acceptance report
Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
Various projective practices upon trending have been used to forecast progress, like burn-downs,
burn-ups, or cumulative flows. These have proven useful, but none are mandatory and care
should be taken because none can replace the importance of empiricism. What will happen is
unknown, no matter what has happened.

Question 6 of 15
What pre-conditions must be fulfilled in order to allow Sprint Planning to
begin?
Correct answer: F)
You chose: A)

A)
A fully refined Product Backlog

B)
Formal budget approval to conduct another Sprint

C)
A clear and non-negotiable Sprint Goal

D)
A clear but negotiable business objective for the Sprint

E)
Enough "Ready" Product Backlog to fill the Sprint

F)
There are no such pre-conditions
Points: 0 out of 1
Feedback
Sprint Planning serves to plan the work to be performed in the Sprint. This plan is created by the
collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team. Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of
eight hours for a one-month Sprint. What can be achieved in this time-box may be influenced by
additional practices that are however not prescribed by Scrum.

Question 7 of 15
How can a Product Owner use time-boxed Sprints to obtain feedback from users
and the market?
Correct answer: B)
You chose: D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A)
Through the assurance that a Development Team finishes all work on the Sprint
Backlog.

B)
Through frequent delivery of Increments of the product into the market.

C)
By making sure a Sprint does not stop until all testing is done, and the work is verified
by the Product Owner.

D)
At the end of each Sprint, a detailed report with all test cases and test results is
available.

E)
A business analyst represents the Product Owner to make decisions on his behalf
during the Sprint. This way the Product Owner can accept the work at the Sprint
Review without further involvement.
Points: 0 out of 1
Feedback
The Product Owner manages Product Backlog against the assumption that value will be
generated. This assumption remains invalidated when not checked against users and market.
When a Sprint's horizon is too long, you increase the risk that what is being developed may no
longer be desired. Sprints limit risk to one calendar month or less of work.

Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
The Product owner clearly expresses Product Backlog items, ensuring the Development Team
understands items in the Product Backlog to the level needed for developing them and creating
the value the Product Owner envisions. Scope may be re-negotiated if the effort grows much
higher than anticipated.

Question 11 of 15

Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A)
Technical debt causes a greater percentage of the product's budget to be spent on
maintenance of the product.
B)
Technical debt is not a Product Owner concern, because technical debt is only an issue
for the Development Team.

C)
Technical debt does not influence the delivery of value.

D)
The velocity at which new functionality can be created is reduced when you have
technical debt.

Question 12 of 15
How important is it for a Product Owner to order Product Backlog items by
value points?
Correct answer: B)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A)
Using value points is the ultimate way for a Product Owner to predict the value that
the product will provide.

B)
It is a good practice, keeping in mind that market reception is the best measure of
value.

C)
Calculating value points is an upfront approach that conflicts with the empiricism of
Scrum, and is therefore not acceptable.
Points: 0 out of 1
Feedback
Indications of value on Product Backlog are useful but are only a prediction until validated
against users and market.

The Product Owner manages the Product Backlog. Who is accountable for
estimating the effort to complete the Product Backlog items?
Correct answer: A)
You chose: A)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A)
The Development Team. As a collective, they have a complete view of the work
needed to transform Product Backlog items into Increments of product.

B)
The PMO. They have all the history on projects delivered, and this enables the IT
department to make delivery commitments.

C)
The Product Owner. The Product Owner is required to commit on delivery to the users
and the stakeholders.
Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
The Development Team is responsible for all estimates. The people who will perform the work
make the final estimate.

Question 15 of 15
A Product Owner is essentially the same thing as a traditional Project
Manager?
Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)

A)
True

B)
False
Points: 1 out of 1
Feedback
A traditional project manager is responsible for all aspects of a project; costs, resources, execution, release, planning, capacity. Scrum is a framework for complex product development,
regardless of whether the work is organized in projects. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work performed, a responsibility that is complemented
by the specific accountabilities of the Development Team and the Scrum Master.
