NEW QUESTION # 18
When is the Sprint Backlog created?
(choose the best answer)

• A. During the Sprint.
• B. At the beginning of the project.
• C. Prior to Sprint Planning.
• D. During Sprint Planning.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let ' s break down why the correct answer is C and why the others are incorrect, referencing the Professional Scrum Product Owner™ II (PSPO II) objectives and associated competencies:
* C. During Sprint Planning.
* Verification: This is the correct answer.
* Explanation and References:
* Professional Scrum Competency: Understanding and Applying the Scrum Framework - Applying the Scrum Framework - Scrum Events
* Sprint Planning is the event where the Scrum Team collaboratively plans the work for the upcoming Sprint. Creating the Sprint Backlog is a key part of this event.
* Professional Scrum Competency: Managing Products with Agility - Forecasting and Release Planning
* The Sprint Backlog represents the team ' s forecast of what they believe they can deliver in the Sprint to achieve the Sprint Goal. This forecasting occurs during Sprint Planning.
* Scrum Guide: The Scrum Guide states, " The work to be performed in the Sprint is planned at the Sprint Planning. This plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team. [...] Sprint Planning answers the following questions: What can be Done this Sprint?
How will the chosen work get done? " The answer to the second question results in the creation of the Sprint Backlog.
* A. During the Sprint.
* Verification: This is incorrect.
* Explanation and References:
* Professional Scrum Competency: Understanding and Applying the Scrum Framework - Applying the Scrum Framework - Scrum Events
* While the Sprint Backlog can be updated during the Sprint as the Developers learn more, it is initially created before the Sprint starts, during Sprint Planning.
* Scrum Guide: The Scrum Guide says " The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint in order to achieve the Sprint Goal. Consequently, the Sprint Backlog is updated throughout the Sprint as more is learned. It should have enough detail that they can inspect their progress in the Daily Scrum. " This means that Sprint backlog is already created before sprint starts.
* B. Prior to Sprint Planning.
* Verification: This is incorrect.
* Explanation and References:
* Professional Scrum Competency: Understanding and Applying the Scrum Framework - Applying the Scrum Framework - Scrum Events
* The Sprint Backlog is created during Sprint Planning through collaboration between the Developers and the Product Owner. Before Sprint Planning, the Product Owner prepares a prioritized Product Backlog, but this is not the Sprint Backlog.
* Scrum Guide: The Sprint Backlog emerges from the discussion and negotiation that happens during Sprint Planning. It is not pre-defined.
* D. At the beginning of the project.
* Verification: This is incorrect.
* Explanation and References:
* Professional Scrum Competency: Managing Products with Agility - Forecasting and Release Planning
* The Sprint Backlog is specific to each Sprint and is created at the beginning of each Sprint, not at the beginning of the entire project.
* Scrum Guide: Scrum is iterative and incremental. Planning the work for the entire project upfront is not in line with Scrum principles. The Sprint Backlog is created anew during each Sprint Planning event.
In conclusion, the Sprint Backlog is created during Sprint Planning, where the Scrum Team collaboratively decides what work they will undertake in the upcoming Sprint and how they will accomplish it, aligning with the PSPO II competencies and the Scrum Guide.

NEW QUESTION # 19
Organizations should reduce their investment in a product when the product's: (choose the best answer)

• A. None of the above
• B. Unrealized Value is very small.
• C. Unrealized Value is very large.
• D. Current Value is very high
• E. Current Value is very low

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION # 20
You are a Product Owner for a product that publishes customer usage rates by feature.
An influential stakeholder does not believe the data showing the usage rates, and insists that a particular feature is essential, despite data showing low usage rates. The stakeholder believes that measuring feature usage is a waste of time.
As Product Owner you have confirmed that the data is accurate and believe that the data is valuable to help you and your team. What should you do?
(choose the best answer)

• A. Continue to measure and publish the data, to provide openness and transparency,and use it to inform your decisions.
• B. Continue measuring feature usage and use it to inform your decisions, but do notpublish it.
• C. Stop measuring feature usage to appease the stakeholder.

Answer: A

Explanation:
As a Product Owner, you are accountable for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Scrum Team. To do this, you need to have a clear understanding of the product vision, the product value, and the product backlog management. Measuring feature usage is one way to gather empirical evidence of the value delivered by the product and the feedback from the customers and users. This data can help you validate or invalidate your assumptions, prioritize the product backlog items, and inspect and adapt the product strategy.
Therefore, measuring feature usage is not a waste of time, but a valuable practice for agile product management.
Moreover, as a Product Owner, you are also responsible for engaging with the stakeholders and customers, and providing them with transparency and openness. This means that you should share the data and the insights you gain from it with them, and invite them to collaborate with you and the Scrum Team. This can help you build trust and alignment, and foster a culture of experimentation and learning. Therefore, you should not hide the data or stop measuring it, but rather use it as a basis for constructive dialogue and decision making.

NEW QUESTION # 21
As Sprint Planning progresses, the workload is getting to be greater than the Developer's capacity to meet the Sprint Goal. Which actions make the most sense to take?
(choose the best two answers)

• A. The Developers ensure that the Product Owner is aware, start the Sprint and monitor progress.
• B. Start the Sprint and recruit additional Developers.
• C. Cancel the Sprint.
• D. Potentially remove or change selected Product Backlog items.
• E. Ask the Developers to work overtime for this Sprint and promise that it will not happen again.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
According to the Scrum Guide, the Developers are accountable for creating a plan for the Sprint, which includes selecting the Product Backlog items that they can deliver in the Sprint1. If they realize that the workload is too high, they have two options: either reduce the scope or increase the capacity. Reducing the scope means removing or changing some of the Product Backlog items, in agreement with the Product Owner, so that the Sprint Goal can still be achieved2. Increasing the capacity means adding more Developers to the team, but this is not recommended, as it can disrupt the team dynamics, lower the quality, and increase the communication overhead3. Therefore, the best actions to take are A and B, as they respect the self-organization and collaboration of the Scrum Team, and allow them to deliver a valuable and potentially releasable Increment at the end of the Sprint4.

NEW QUESTION # 22
Which two Key Value Areas are most affected by the daily frequency a team is switching tasks or is interrupted? (choose the best two answers)

• A. Ability to Innovate.
• B. All of the above.

• D. Time to Market.
• E. Unrealized Value.

Answer: A,D

NEW QUESTION # 23
Every Scrum Team must have a Product Owner and Scrum Master (choose the best answer)

• A. Yes, and they must be 100% dedicated to each team.
• B. No
• C. Yes, and each Scrum Team's performance may be affected by how much they participate during the Sprint as a Scrum Master or Product Owner.

Answer: C

NEW QUESTION # 24
What are the three elements of a User Story? (choose the best three answers).

• A. Compliance
• B. Card
• C. Conversation
• D. Confirmation
• E. Completeness

Answer: B,C,D

NEW QUESTION # 25
The Developers inform the Product Owner during the Sprint that they are not likely to complete everything they forecasted. What would you expect a Product Owner to do?
(choose the best answer)

• A. Inform management that more resources are needed.
• B. Skip Product Backlog refinement activities.
• C. Reduce the scope of the Sprint, if possible, to still meet the Sprint Goal.
• D. Change the Sprint Goal to match what the Developers can deliver.
• E. End the Sprint, since the goal cannot be achieved.

Answer: C

Explanation:
According to the Professional Scrum Product Owner™ II certification guide1, the Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. This means that the Product Owner should collaborate with the Developers and the Scrum Master to find the best way to deliver value in the current Sprint, even if the initial forecast is not met. The Product Owner should not change or abandon the Sprint Goal, as it is a commitment made by the Scrum Team during Sprint Planning. The Product Owner should also not skip Product Backlog refinement activities, as they are essential for preparing the Product Backlog for future Sprints. The Product Owner should not end the Sprint prematurely, as it may cause more disruption and waste than delivering a potentially releasable Increment. The Product Owner should not inform management that more resources are needed, as it may imply that the Scrum Team is not self-organizing and cross-functional. The Product Owner should respect the Developers' autonomy and professionalism and support them in finding the best solution to the problem. Therefore, the best answer is to reduce the scope of the Sprint, if possible, to still meet the Sprint Goal. This means that the Product Owner and the Developers should negotiate the scope of the Sprint Backlog within the Sprint, removing or adding Product Backlog items that are aligned with the Sprint Goal and the value delivery.

Product Vision and Strategy are indicators and motivators for people who perform product delivery.
Which of the following statements are true? (choose all that apply)

• A. Description of the product's users and what they want to achieve.
• B. Description of how the product competes against others in the market.

NEW QUESTION # 29
Which of the following might be considered when ordering Product Backlog items?
(choose all that apply)

• A. Value of Product Backlog items.
• B. Dependencies to other products.
• C. Dependencies between Product Backlog items.
• D. Cost of delay.
• E. Cost of implementation.

Answer: A,B,C,D,E

Explanation:
According to the PSPO II guide and Scrum.org competencies, when ordering Product Backlog items, a Product Owner should consider various factors to maximize the value of the work done by the Scrum Team. These factors include:
A) Dependencies to other products: Recognizing dependencies to other products is crucial for the Product Owner to ensure that the Scrum Team is working on items that can be completed and deliver value without being blocked by external dependencies.
B) Value of Product Backlog items: The primary role of a Product Owner is to maximize the value delivered by the Scrum Team, and ordering items based on their value is a fundamental aspect of this responsibility.
C) Dependencies between Product Backlog items: Understanding and managing dependencies between Product Backlog items helps in planning Sprints more effectively, ensuring that the team is working on items in a logical sequence.
D) Cost of delay: The cost of delay is a critical economic factor that influences the ordering of Product Backlog items. Items that would result in a higher cost if delayed should be prioritized.
E) Cost of implementation: While value maximization is the goal, the cost of implementation cannot be ignored. Balancing the cost and the expected value is essential for effective Product Backlog management.
These considerations are in line with the Scrum.org Professional Scrum competencies, particularly under 'Managing Products with Agility', where it's emphasized that Product Owners should have a deep understanding of market value, product feasibility, and the importance of making trade-offs to maximize value.

NEW QUESTION # 30
Which of the following measures might help you determine whether your product is delivering value to your customer?
(choose the best answer)

• A. All of the above.
• B. How often your customers use your product.
• C. The number of "must-do" Product Backlog items delivered in a release.
• D. None of the above.
• E. The average cost of your product release.
• F. The on-schedule performance of the Scrum Team.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The value of a product is not determined by how many features it has, how much it costs, or how fast it is delivered, but by how well it meets the needs and expectations of the customers and stakeholders. Therefore, the best measure of value is how often and how effectively the customers use the product to achieve their goals and solve their problems. This can be assessed by using metrics such as customer satisfaction, retention, engagement, loyalty, referrals, revenue, or any other indicators that reflect the desired outcomes and benefits of the product.
The other options are not the best measures of value, because they either focus on the output rather than the outcome, or they do not reflect the customer perspective. The number of "must-do" Product Backlog items delivered in a release may indicate the scope or the quality of the product, but not necessarily the value. The average cost of the product release may indicate the efficiency or the profitability of the product, but not necessarily the value. The on-schedule performance of the Scrum Team may indicate the predictability or the agility of the product development process, but not necessarily the value.

NEW QUESTION # 31
What best illustrates a GO product roadmap? (choose the best two answers)

• A. It focuses on the goals rather than the features
• B. It supports value steering
• C. It focuses on what is being done now, what will be done next and what will be done later.
• D. It provides an overview of all user stories ordered by a sequence of releases.

Answer: A,B

NEW QUESTION # 32
Which of the following statements is true about the Product Vision?
(choose the best answer)

• A. All of the above.
• B. It is the shared responsibility of the Scrum Team to develop and evolve.
• C. It evolves as the Scrum Team learns more about customers and their needs.
• D. It must be completely free from discussions about strategic technology choices.
• E. None of the above.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Option A is the best answer because it reflects the agile and empirical nature of Scrum and Product Ownership. The Product Vision is a concise and inspiring statement that describes the purpose, direction, and value proposition of the product1. The Product Vision is not a fixed or static document, but rather an emergent and dynamic one that adapts to the changing environment, needs, and feedback. The Product Owner is accountable for creating and communicating the Product Vision to the Scrum Team and the stakeholders2. The Product Owner collaborates with the Scrum Team and the stakeholders to inspect and adapt the Product Vision based on the new insights, opportunities, and learnings that arise from the changing environment34. The Product Owner also uses various techniques, such as product discovery, user research, market analysis, and experiments, to validate and refine the Product Vision5 .
Option B is not the best answer because it contradicts the accountability of the Product Owner. The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog and maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is also the sole person responsible for creating and communicating the Product Vision to the Scrum Team and the stakeholders2. The Product Owner may seek input and feedback from the Scrum Team and the stakeholders, but the final decision and authority on the Product Vision belongs to the Product Owner. The Scrum Team and the stakeholders are not accountable for developing and evolving the Product Vision, but they are expected to understand and support it .
Option C is not the best answer because it contradicts the reality and complexity of product development. The Product Vision is not a technical specification, but rather a strategic and business-oriented statement that guides the development of the product1. The Product Vision does not prescribe how the product should be built, but rather why and what the product should achieve. However, the Product Vision is not completely detached from the technical aspects of the product, as the technology choices may have an impact on the feasibility, desirability, and viability of the product. The Product Owner should be aware of the strategic technology choices and their implications, and discuss them with the Development Team and the stakeholders, as part of the product discovery and validation process .

NEW QUESTION # 33
You are the Product Owner at a small company with a single product. You have authority over pricing, promotion, and how much is invested in new features or capabilities. Your product has:
* High Current Value - as indicated by high customer satisfaction.
* High Unrealized Value - as indicated by low market share.
Using those two data points, what is the first action you should take to increase the business performance of the product?
(choose the best answer)

• A. Drop the price for the product to attract a greater number of customers.
• B. Release an identical product to market, but give it a new product name.
• C. Increase the number of product features to attract a greater number of customers.
• D. Improve the marketing of the product to attract a greater number of customers.

Answer: D

Explanation:
= Based on the Evidence-Based Management (EBM) framework, your product has a high Current Value (CV), which means that it delivers value to the existing customers and meets their needs and expectations. However, it also has a high Unrealized Value (UV), which means that there is a large gap between the potential and actual use of the product in the market. This indicates that your product has a low awareness, reach, or appeal among the potential customers who could benefit from it.
To increase the business performance of the product, you need to reduce the UV and increase the Ability to Innovate (A2I), which is the ability to deliver future value. One way to do this is to improve the marketing of the product, which can help you to communicate the value proposition, differentiate the product from the competitors, and attract a greater number of customers. This can also provide you with more feedback and data to inform your product strategy and backlog prioritization.
The other options are not the best actions to take, because they either do not address the root cause of the high UV, or they may compromise the CV or A2I of the product. Increasing the number of product features may not necessarily increase the value or the demand for the product, and it may also increase the complexity and the cost of development. Releasing an identical product with a new name may confuse the customers and dilute the brand identity, and it may also create legal or ethical issues. Dropping the price for the product may not be a sustainable or profitable strategy, and it may also affect the perceived quality or value of the product.

NEW QUESTION # 38
Which of the following statements about the Product Backlog are true?
(choose the best two answers)

• A. The Product Backlog represents the input of all stakeholders and eliminates any need for the Developers to speak to stakeholders.
• B. All Product Backlog items must be identified before the first Sprint begins.
• C. All Product Backlog items must be expressed as user stories.
• D. Only the Product Owner can place items on the Product Backlog.
• E. The Product Backlog is ordered by the Product Owner.
• F. The Product Backlog should be visible to the Scrum Team and stakeholders.

Answer: E,F

Explanation:
Explanation
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of what is needed to improve the product, and it is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for ordering the Product Backlog items by value, risk, priority, and dependencies. TheProduct Backlog should be transparent and accessible to the Scrum Team and the stakeholders, so that everyone can understand the scope and progress of the product development. Therefore, options A and B are true statements about the Product Backlog.
Option C is not true because the Product Backlog items can be expressed in various formats, such as user stories, use cases, scenarios, or any other way that clearly conveys the intent and value of the item. User stories are a common and useful technique, but not a mandatory one.
Option D is not true because the Product Backlog is not a fixed and complete specification of the product, but rather an emergent and dynamic artifact that evolves over time. The Product Backlog items are refined and clarified by the Product Owner and the Developers throughout the product development process, and new items can be added or removed as needed. The Product Backlog does not need to be fully defined before the first Sprint begins, but only enough to support the first Sprint Planning.
Option E is not true because the Product Owner is not the only source of ideas and requirements for the product. The Product Owner collaborates with the Developers and the stakeholders to discover, validate, and prioritize the Product Backlog items. The Product Owner may delegate the authority to add items to the Product Backlog to others, but remains accountable for the ordering and the value of the Product Backlog.
Option F is not true because the Product Backlog does not replace the communication and collaboration between the Developers and the stakeholders. The Product Backlog represents the input of all stakeholders, but it is not a substitute for direct feedback and interaction. The Developers need to engage with the stakeholders to understand their needs, expectations, and feedback, and to deliver a valuable product increment that meets the Sprint Goal and the Definition of Done.
