PSPO™ I Exam Simulator 2024/25What's the role of a PMO (Project Management Office) in an organization that only uses
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Scrum for project delivery? - Manages portfolios and programs and facilitates the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
application of techniques that complement Scrum.
ii ii ii ii ii ii
Remember that there are limits to the self-management (self-organization) of the team, ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
and the important thing is to have the power within the borders of the project. However,
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
each project is run in a wider organization with multiple levels of management impacting
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
the project, and it's not possible or even acceptable to reject that structure, as long as it
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
doesn't block the internal self-management of the team and the fundamental adaptive
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
approach of the project.
ii ii ii ii
True or false? It's fine to have a PMO, as long as it's focused on portfolio management,
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
rather than direct involvement in Scrum projects. - TRUE
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
There's no project manager role in Scrum, and it's not allowed to add a new role to the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
existing three. Also, none of the three Scrum roles are an equivalent of a project manager
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
because project management activities are distributed among all of them. However, the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
fact that you're using Scrum doesn't mean that there shouldn't be any other roles, titles,
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
and management concepts in the organization! For example, it doesn't mean that you
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
cannot have a CEO in the organization. The same goes for some other concepts, such as
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
portfolio management. In general, anything that doesn't disrupt the Scrum mechanisms
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
and stays outside the boundaries of the project is OK.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Which TWO statements best describe the Product Backlog? - * It is never baselined.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
* It may change anytime, and it is never complete.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Scrum.org interprets "baselining" as fixing something (which is not entirely correct), and ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
therefore says that nothing should be baselined in Scrum.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
ii True or false? The Product Backlog is baselined before the first Sprint - FALSE
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
"Baseline" has a specific meaning in project management that may apply to some ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
elements in Scrum. However, Scrum.org interprets it as keeping the subject fixed, and
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
therefore, believes that there are no baselines in Scrum. In short, "baseline" is one of those
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
curse words in Scrum!
ii ii ii ii
ii True or false? The Product Owner can also be a Developer. - TRUE
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
It's not recommended, but it's not forbidden either.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
There's a Scrum project that is supposed to have two releases: one in the middle and the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
other at the end of the project. Which of the following statements is correct about this
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
project? - All increments should be releasable.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
, True or false? The Product Owner can ask the Developers to order the Product Backlog
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
items instead of them. - TRUE
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Product Owners are allowed to delegate some of their responsibilities to other team
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
members. If they do, the Product Owner stays accountable.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
True or false? The Developers are responsible for composing the Definition of Ready. -
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
FALSE
ii
Remember that there's a description of what being ready means, but there's no "definition ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
of ready" in Scrum. Teams may create such a concept as long as they don't turn it into a
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
gate, and remember that if an item is on the top of the Product Backlog, they will always
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
select it for the Sprint, even if it's not ready. Items that are not ready will be refined during
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
the Sprint.
ii ii
Which of the following best describe the questions that are addressed in the Sprint
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Planning meeting? (Select multiple choices) - * How are we going to do what we have
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
decided to do in the Sprint?
ii ii ii ii ii ii
* Why are we going to do this Sprint?
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
* What are we going to do during the Sprint?
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
What does a trend line through a release burn-down chart indicate? - When the remaining
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
work will likely be completed if nothing changes in the Product Backlog and the Scrum
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Team
ii
A burn-down chart is a simple chart with time on the horizontal axis and the amount of
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
remaining work on the vertical axis. It's an optional element that can be used to visualize
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
the progress of work in a Sprint, or the progress of work for the whole project.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
The Product Owner is not collaborating with the Developers during the Sprint. Which TWO
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
of the following actions would you choose as the Scrum Master? - * Bring up the issue in
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
the next Sprint Retrospective.
ii ii ii ii
* Coach the Product Owner to understand why collaboration is important in Scrum and how
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
it can affect the value of the product.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
The Developers are trying to convince the Product Owner to bring one of the items to the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
top of the Product Backlog, because it creates risks for them if they do the item later. Is this
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
OK? - No problem!
ii ii ii ii ii ii
True or false? The velocity of Scrum Teams should be normalized, so that management
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
can measure and compare their performance. - FALSE
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
