1. You are the Scrum Master for a new team that's been working with Scrum for three months now. During the Daily Scrum, two of the six developers rarely add to the conversation.

In handling this, which of the following options are preferable? (choose the 2 best answers)

Address your observation during the upcoming Sprint Retrospective.

Trust the team to self-manage and find their own solution to this issue. This is not unusual in a relatively new team.

Pay attention during the Sprint Review. If the team is delivering valuable working product, it is working for them. No-one tells the team how they approach their work.

Teach the developers of the Scrum team to participate in the Daily since its purpose is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog.

13. During Sprint Planning the Product Owner and the Developers are unable to reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Developers are unable to determine how many Product Backlog items it can forecast for the upcoming Sprint. However, the Product Owner and the Developers are able to agree on a Sprint Goal.

Which of the following actions should the Scrum Master support?

Continue Sprint Planning until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well enough understood for the Development Team to make a complete forecast. Then start the Sprint.

Forecast the Product Backlog item that is most likely to meet the Sprint Goal and create the Sprint Backlog. Conclude Sprint Planning and start the development work. Continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint.

The Product Backlog refining was not adequate to create Product Backlog items that could be clearly understood and forecast for a Sprint. Cancel the Sprint Planning meeting, ask everyone to take as much time as needed to analyze the Product Backlog, and then reconvene another Sprint Planning meeting.

During the next Sprint Retrospective discuss why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur.

Scrum is no working. Conduct more thorough training for the entire team and then start a new Sprint
