Scrum PSM-I Online Questions & Answers

• Question 161:

  A properly functioning Scrum Team will have at least one Release Sprint and may well have several.

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

  ---

  The answer is B because there is no "Release Sprint" --> Release Sprint: Each sprint must result in a potentially releasable increment, regardless of the number of teams and deliverables involved in a release, so batch sizes of undelivered work can be minimized and controlled. A so-called Release Sprint would therefore be a contra-indication to agile practice.

• Question 162:

  You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using Scrum. In the initial project there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e. one for the front-end, one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services. This resembles what is known as component teams. But you have read that it's a good idea to have teams organized by feature.

  A. There's less initial disruption than organizing into new teams. As they start, they will discover what works best, and how to potentially re-organize towards this.
  B. Component teams generally have the skills needed to create a working Increment of software that provides business value.
  C. Because they have worked together for some time, they are likely able to start producing shippable Increments faster that new feature teams would.
  D. There are fewer cross-team dependencies than working in feature teams.
  A. There's less initial disruption than organizing into new teams. As they start, they will discover what works best, and how to potentially re-organize towards this.
