Question No : 1
A Cycle Time Scatterplot can help you visualize: (choose the best answer)

Answer:
Explanation:
The main chart/report used to visualize and analyze Cycle Times is the Cycle Time Scatterplot where teams can understand their Cycle Time trends, distributions, look at anomalies.

Question No : 2
True or False: Scrum Events, Scrum Team Accountabilities, and Scrum Artifacts are changed when using Scrum with Kanban. For example, the Scrum Team might choose to omit the Sprint Retrospective when using Kanban with Scrum.

Answer:
Explanation:
Adding Kanban to Scrum provides a technique to help the Scrum Team focus on driving a continuous flow of activity, but does not negate value provided by the Scrum Events, Artifacts, and Accountabilities.

Question No : 3
True or False: Cycle Time is a direct leading indicator for the length of the Scrum Team’s feedback loop for a Product Backlog item.

Answer:
Explanation:
Cycle Time is a lagging indicator - you only know the Cycle Time after the PBI reached the end of the team’s Definition of Workflow. A Service Level Expectation (SLE) is based on Cycle Time scatter plot percentile lines.

Question No : 4
Which of the following are considered Kanban practices for Scrum Teams? (choose the best answer)

Answer:
Explanation:
Central to the definition of Kanban is the concept of flow. Flow is the movement of value throughout the product development system. Kanban optimizes flow by improving the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and predictability of a process. Visualizing flow, limiting Work in Progress (WIP), actively manage the Work in Progress (WIP), inspecting & adapting the workflow are ways of optimizing flow.

Question No : 5
True or False: Scrum Events, Scrum Team Accountabilities, and Scrum Artifacts are augmented when using Scrum with Kanban. For example, having a clear indicator of the age of active Sprint Backlog items may help the Scrum Team during the Daily Scrum, helping them to better Inspect and Adapt their daily work.

Answer:
Explanation:
Adding Kanban to Scrum provides a technique to help the Scrum Team focus on driving a continuous flow of activity but does not negate value provided by the Scrum Events, Scrum Artifacts, and Scrum Team Accountabilities. However, flow-based metrics/charts & forecasts may get added to Scrum Events as per the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams.

Question No : 6
True or False: A team's future performance can be determined by using Little's Law. (Choose the best
answer)

Answer:
Explanation:
Little’s Law cannot predict the future. For example, the effect of reducing WIP limits cannot be predicted
- it depends on whether the Scrum Team can achieve effective flow with lower WIP limits. Changes to the WIP limits can also be incorrectly influenced by only relying on cycle-time measurements.

Question No : 7
Which one of the following concepts does the Just-In-Time (JIT) method advocate? (choose the best answer)

Answer:
Explanation:
Kanban is often used in conjunction with JIT to avoid overcapacity of work in process. The just-in-time (JIT) strategy minimizes inventory and increases efficiency.

Question No : 8
Which of the following Scrum artifacts is a form of the Work in Progress (WIP) Limit? (choose the best answer)

Answer:
Explanation:
The Sprint Backlog is a WIP limit artifact that limits the number of items selected based on the Development Team's velocity or capacity.

Question No : 9
True or False: Scrum Teams using Kanban can replace Sprint Planning with just-in-time feature planning.

Answer:
Explanation:
Kanban does not replace or discount any part of the Scrum framework. It is designed to enhance and expand the practices of Scrum. Implementing Kanban assumes the reader is operating a process using the Scrum framework. Therefore, The Scrum Guide applies in its entirety.

Question No : 10
Which two items would you expect to see in a service level expectation (SLE)? (choose the best two answers)

Answer:
Explanation:
An SLE forecasts how long it should take a given item to flow from start to finish within your workflow. The SLE itself has two parts: a period of elapsed days and a probability associated with that period (e.g., "85% of work items will be finished in 8 days or less" which can also be stated as "8 days with 85% confidence/probability").
