Actual exam question from Scrum's PSM I
Question #: 60
Topic #: 1
[All PSM I Questions]

Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The
Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach.
A good way to continue is:

  • A. The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as ג€Doneג€ as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, so it doesn't mess up the Product Backlog.
  • B. Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made.
  • C. The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. The produced software is not usable. As the rules of Scrum have not been respected, it is the Scrum Master's duty to assess whether repair is possible, or a restart with a more reliable team. If not, the Scrum Master should cancel the project.
  • D. The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which the remaining work can be done.

The Development Team informs Marian that the progress she has perceived to date is not correct. The Increment is not releasable. They give Marian their estimate of the effort it would take to get the past work “Done,” and suggest doing that work first before proceeding with new features. In the end, it is Marian’s call to continue the project or to cancel.

The answer should not be letter C since as per Scrum Guide, the Scrum Master cannot cancel a Sprint just the Product Owner have the right.

Selected Answer: D
D! A- no such thing as "as dinner as possible", the definition of done is absolute, it's either dinner or not. Work that isn't done after a sprint goes back into the Product backlog to be reestimated B- changing the team is not recommended, especially not mid-sprint C- it's not up to the Scrum master to cancel the project, nor the sprint. Canceling the sprint is up to the PO. The Scrum guide doesn't mention who can cancel the project, but I assume the stakeholders.

Selected Answer: D
ChatGTP answer: In this scenario, the Development Team has noticed that their velocity of 13, with 90% of work done, is below the targeted sustained velocity of 17. It's essential to maintain transparency, open communication, and a realistic approach to meeting the project's goals. Instead of compromising quality or adding extra personnel, it's more appropriate to remind the Product Owner (Marian) that additional Release Sprints may be necessary to complete the remaining work. This approach ensures the project maintains integrity, and the Development Team does not feel pressured to compromise their work or make unrealistic promises.

The correct answer is d In this situation, the Development Team is not able to achieve the projected velocity of 17 based on the initial plan. The correct approach is to address this reality and work with the Product Owner (Marian) to adjust expectations. By reminding Marian to find funding for additional Release Sprints, the team acknowledges the need for more time to complete the remaining work. This approach respects the principles of transparency and collaboration in Scrum, allowing the team to work realistically toward the project's success.

It shouldn’t be A - If a Product Backlog item does not meet the Definition of Done, it cannot be released or even presented at the Sprint Review. Instead, it returns to the Product Backlog for future consideration.

"A" cannot be correct, since work not done is not added to the Sprint Backlog of the next Sprint, but to the Product Backlog and re-evaluated for the next Sprint.
