- E . Make sure all three questions of the daily scrum are answered

What is a mock object?
- A . A mock helps you create a build script

Your team is one of seven teams working on a product. All teams use the same version control system.
Which is the best approach to deliver high-quality increments?
- A . Each team’s automated build is integrated toward the end of the sprint
- B . Developers should perform a combination of local and private builds
- C . Each team should have its own automated build
- D . There is one automated build for all teams
D

Is it a good idea to follow each automated build with the execution of automated tests?
- A . Yes, it will show code coverage which is an excellent metric of quality and progress
- B . No, it takes too much time
- C . No, the outcomes might disturb the developers’ focus
- D . Yes, the tests may identify whether there are bugs that the developers should fix before proceeding
D
Explanation:
It’s definitely a good practice. And not because you can see the code coverage (which also isn’t an excellent metric of quality and progress), but because you can detect problems before moving on.
What is the size of the scrum team?

- B . this differs every sprint
- C . at least 8 people

How long should the sprint review take? Choose the best answer
- A . Until everyone is done.
- B . Max two hours for a one month sprint
- C . Max two hours
- D . Max four hours
- E . Max four hours for a one-month sprint
E
Explanation:

Which are topics of the sprint planning? Choose all that apply.
- A . Why is this sprint valuable?
- B . When is this sprint going to be done?
- C . How to improve the scrum process in this sprint?
- D . How will the selected work get done?
- E . What can be done in this sprint?
- F . Who is going to do what?
A,D,E
Explanation:
These are the three topics mentioned in the scrum guide. Who is going to do what is not determined upfront, when the sprint will end is fixed and doesn’t need to be discussed, what can be done to improve the process is for the sprint retrospective meeting.
At the 10th sprint review, the stakeholders are disappointed and angry. They have determined that the product or system being built both will not meet their needs and will cost more than they are willing to spend.
What factors may have led to this? (choose three)
- A . Changes to the project plan were not adequately documented and shared
- B . The product owner has not been keeping the stakeholders aware of the progress of the project
- C . The project management office has not been engaged adequately
- D . The scrum master has not ensured that the project is transparent
- E . The stakeholders were not allowed to enter the development area
- F . The stakeholders haven’t been using sprint reviews to inspect and evaluate progress
B,D,F
Explanation:
there is no project plan, the presence of stakeholders in the development area is probably not helping and there is no project management. Transparancy would avoid the surprise for the stakeholders. If the PO didn’t frequently update them, this can also lead to surprise and disappointent. If the stakeholders couldn’t attend the sprint review they would also not be up to date and missing out on an opportunity to inspect and adapt.
