Question 4
- An organization has just hired you as a new Scrum Master to help them transition their teams from their current traditional process to Scrum. The teams are currently structured to specialize in a single function. This is also known as component teams where a team would only address a single layer (i.e. design, frontend,
  backend, database, testing, etc.). You’ve introduced the concept of cross-functional teams where all the skills needed to produce business functionality, from end to end, are inside of a single team. What should you keep in mind when transitioning from siloed teams to cross-functional teams? (Choose two.)
  
  A : It is easier to compare the performance between cross-functional teams in order to identify to which teams to assign tasks and which teams need additional coaching.
  
  B : Newly formed teams will need time to stabilize before reaching their peak performance. During the initial stages of forming, performance will suffer and productivity may be low, although even then delivery of business value is still likely to increase.
  
  C : Without feature teams, you cannot do Scrum. Postpone Scrum adoption until the teams are reorganized in feature teams.
  
  D : People from the different layers and components will need time to become accustomed to working and delivering unified functionality together as one Scrum Team thus productivity may suffer.
  
  Answer: B,D
Question 5
- Steven is a Scrum Master employed by the engineering department. The Director of Engineering considers
  using Scrum for a new project but wonders about the value of having all of the Development Team members
  attend the Daily Scrum. He is concerned that the employees already attend a lot of mandatory company
  meetings.
  What are two outcomes of the Daily Scrum that Steven should explain on why the Daily Scrum is important?
  (Choose two.)
  
  A : During the Daily Scrum the members of the Development Team will inform of problems that are hindering their progress, and for which they have no means to resolve. They will inform Steven as a Scrum Master, so he can remove the impediments and help the team be more productive.
  
  B : Through the short, daily alignment of the Daily Scrum the members of the Development Team grow and improve a shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken in the next 24 hours to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint Goal. This daily opportunity to inspect and adapt will enable the Development Team to best tackle any unforeseen circumstances that might otherwise disrupt the team’s progress.
  
  C : The Development Team members will produce a daily status report indicating how much time was spent working on individual tasks since the last Daily Scrum. The reports will help in discussing how the Sprint went at the Sprint Review meeting. It will provide detailed insights into the accuracy of estimates versus actual time spent, which can be used to create better estimates at the next Sprint Planning.
  
  D : The Daily Scrum serves for the Development Team to report to Steven, as a Scrum Master, all updates on the assigned tasks in the Sprint Backlog. He can then use the team’s updates to plan their work for the next day, making sure that every team member is assigned the right tasks.
  
  E : During the Daily Scrum, the Development Team needs to update the Scrum board with their current status and progress, at a task level. This is crucial to ensure that the Directory of Engineering knows the team’s actual progress and control the work being done.
