  As a Scrum Master how will you coordinate with the Product Owner to ensure Value-Driven Delivery on Scrum projects?

  B. By ensuring that customers realize the value at the end of project

  C. By ensuring that requirements are reprioritized after every Sprint

  D. By understanding what adds value to customers and ensuing that stakeholders are closely involved throughout the project

  Correct Answer: D

  In order to provide Value-driven Delivery, it is important to meet a few requirements. First, those involved in a project should understand what adds value to customers and users, and should prioritize the high value requirements in the Prioritized Product Backlog. Second, those involved in a project should decrease uncertainty and constantly address risks that can potentially decrease value if they materialize; it is important to show product increments to project stakeholders at the end of each Sprint, enabling effective management of changes. Third, those involved in a project should create deliverables by producing potentially shippable, value-based product increments during each Sprint so that customers start realizing value early in the project.

  estimators.

  Each estimator is holding a deck of Planning Poker cards with values like 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40 and
