PMI-ACP Scrum Practice Questions

An agile project has three more iterations before the release. There is a lot of report functionality to be created and defects to be cleared. During a daily scrum, a team member suggests a timebox spike to find a more efficient way to deliver reports. What should the project leader do?

• AA. Encourage the team to self-organize and determine how to best complete their existing work and this spike.
• BB. Encourage the team to complete their just existing work since the team velocity indicates they are already struggling to meet the release goal.
• CC. Direct the team to defer the spike until the next release and add the action on the backlog for prioritization.
• DD. Direct the team to work on the spike immediately given the importance of reporting functionality to complete the iteration.

Midway through a sprint, a scrum team member advises the team of a new requirement that may change the initial scope. What should the team do?

• AA. Work on requirements that the product owner may have overlooked
• BB. Record the scope creep in the change management log
• CC. Add the new requirement to the product backlog
• DD. Ask the scrum master to secure additional time and resources
