Steven is a Scrum Master employed by the engineering department. The Director of Engineering considers using Scrum for a new project but wonders about the value of having all of the Development Team members attend the Daily Scrum. He is concerned that the employees already attend a lot of mandatory company meetings.
What are two outcomes of the Daily Scrum that Steven should explain on why the Daily Scrum is important? (Choose two.)

• A. The Daily Scrum serves for the Development Team to report to Steven, as a Scrum Master, all updates on the assigned tasks in the Sprint Backlog. He can then use the team's updates to plan their work for the next day, making sure that every team member is assigned the right tasks.
• B. During the Daily Scrum the members of the Development Team will inform of problems that are hindering their progress, and for which they have no means to resolve. They will inform Steven as a Scrum Master, so he can remove the impediments and help the team be more productive.
• C. During the Daily Scrum, the Development Team needs to update the Scrum board with their current status and progress, at a task level. This is crucial to ensure that the Directory of Engineering knows the team's actual progress and control the work being done.
• D. Through the short, daily alignment of the Daily Scrum the members of the Development Team grow and improve a shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken in the next 24 hours to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint Goal. This daily opportunity to inspect and adapt will enable the Development Team to best tackle any unforeseen circumstances that might otherwise disrupt the team's progress.
• E. The Development Team members will produce a daily status report indicating how much time was spent working on individual tasks since the last Daily Scrum. The reports will help in discussing how the Sprint went at the Sprint Review meeting. It will provide detailed insights into the accuracy of estimates versus actual time spent, which can be used to create better estimates at the next Sprint Planning.

The relationship between the Product Owner and the Developers has degraded over time. The Developers are growing increasingly angry with the Product Owner for changing the requirements all the time and not being available enough. The Product Owner is angry with the Developers for changing requirements during implementation. What guidance should the Scrum Master offer?
(Choose the best answer)

• A. Ask each person's functional manager to instruct their employees that they must collaborate better, or be removed from the team.
• B. Address why requirements change during the Sprint Retrospective. Ask the Developers and the Product Owner to talk about why the requirements are changing and consider the impact on value during this discussion.
• C. Take everyone to a 2-day off-site event to relax and re-align. It is liberating to take people's minds away from work.
• D. Ask for a project manager or other external resource to mediate and temporarily take over for the Product Owner.

What would likely happen if management only changed the organization's current terminology to fit Scrum without the proper understanding and support of Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide?

• A. Organizations may feel less stressed as the behaviors would remain familiar to management.
• B. All answers apply.
• C. Very little change will happen as the vocabulary in Scrum is specifically defined for implementing Scrum.
• D. The organization may not realize the real benefits of Scrum as there would be no real change on the way the teams work.

Another team's Scrum Master seeks your advice. The Daily Scrum always runs longer than 15 minutes. The Developers suggest splitting the Scrum Team into two teams. What is your response? (Choose the best answer)

• A. You disagree - you tell the Scrum Master that as Scrum Master they need to manage the timebox better.
• B. You agree - this is an appropriate solution to the problem.
• C. You agree - splitting the team into two teams is a good strategy to allow them to learn how to run Daily Scrums quickly and effectively. Once they have learned to limit the Daily Scrum to 15 minutes, you can combine the teams again.
• D. You disagree -- there is not enough information to justify splitting a team into two teams. You ask if there is anything you can do to help your colleague, for example observe one of the Daily Scrums with them.

Collaboration issues and technical dependencies between multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product can be fully resolved by using the correct version control tools.
