PSPO-I Dumps with Practice Exam Questions Answers

• False: Product Owners do not have to specify complete acceptance criteria for a Product Backlog item before the Developers can select the item in Sprint Planning.
• Acceptance criteria are a set of conditions that a Product Backlog item must satisfy to be considered “Done” and acceptable for delivery.
• Acceptance criteria are not mandatory in Scrum, but they can help the Product Owner and the Developers to clarify the expectations and requirements of a Product Backlog item.
• Acceptance criteria can be added or refined by the Product Owner at any time, but they should be clear and testable before the Sprint starts.
• The Developers can select a Product Backlog item in Sprint Planning based on their understanding of its value, scope, and complexity, as well as their capacity and skills. They can also collaborate with the Product Owner to define or refine the acceptance criteria during Sprint Planning. References: Scrum Guide, Section 3.4 (The Product Backlog), Section 5.1 (Sprint Planning), and Section 6.4 (The Increment)

 These are the best answers because they ensure that security concerns are addressed in a transparent and consistent way. By adding security criteria to the Definition of Done, the Scrum Team can make sure that every Increment meets a high standard of quality and security. By creating Product Backlog items for specific security concerns, the Scrum Team can prioritize and plan them in collaboration with the Product Owner and stakeholders. References:

• Scrum Guide, page 14: “The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product.”
• Scrum Guide, page 15: “The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product.”

The Sprint Retrospective is an event for the Scrum Team to inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to individuals, interactions, processes, tools, and their Definition of Done1. The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase quality and effectiveness for the next Sprint2. Therefore, appropriate topics for discussion during a Sprint Retrospective are:

Identifying high priority process improvements for the next Sprint. The Scrum Team should identify the most important things that went well and the potential improvements, and create a plan for implementing some of them in the next Sprint[3][3]. This way, the Scrum Team can continuously improve their performance and deliver more value.

How the team collaborates. The Scrum Team should reflect on how they work together as a self-managing unit, and how they can enhance their skills, tools, and relationships4. This way, the Scrum Team can foster a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration.

The other options are not appropriate topics for discussion during a Sprint Retrospective, as they are either related to the Product Backlog or the Sprint Backlog, which are not the focus of the Sprint Retrospective. The order of items in the Product Backlog is the responsibility of the Product Owner, who manages the Product Backlog based on the value, risk, and dependencies of the items5. The Product Owner may seek input from the Scrum Team or the stakeholders, but the final decision is up to the Product Owner. Documenting acceptance criteria for items in the next Sprint is part of the Product Backlog refinement, which is an ongoing activity throughout the Sprint, not a specific event. The Scrum Team should collaborate on refining the Product Backlog items and adding more details, such as acceptance criteria, as they become more clear and ready for selection in a Sprint Planning.

The amount of the Sprint Backlog that must be defined during the Sprint Planning event is enough so the Developers can create their forecast of what work they can do. This is because:

• Sprint Planning is an event where the Scrum Team plans for the upcoming Sprint. The purpose of Sprint Planning is to align the entire Scrum Team around a common goal and a plan for delivering an Increment that meets that goal.
• The Developers are accountable for creating a Sprint forecast, which is a selection of Product Backlog items that they intend to work on during the Sprint. The Sprint forecast should be realistic, achievable, and valuable.
• The Developers are also accountable for creating a plan for how they will deliver the selected Product Backlog items as a “Done” Increment. The plan may include tasks, dependencies, risks, estimates, or other information that helps them organize and manage their work.
• The amount of the Sprint Backlog that must be defined during Sprint Planning may vary depending on the context, complexity, and uncertainty of the product development. However, it should be enough so that the Developers can create their forecast of what work they can do and have a clear direction for the first few days of the Sprint.

Other options, such as just enough to understand design and architectural implications, the entire Sprint Backlog being identified and estimated by the end of Sprint Planning, or just enough tasks for the Scrum Master to be confident in the Developers’ understanding of the Sprint, are not valid answers as they do not reflect what must be defined during Sprint Planning or what is required for creating a Sprint forecast.

According to Scrum.org, the Developers who will be doing the work are responsible for the sizing of Product Backlog items1. The Product Owner may influence the Developers by helping them understand and select trade-offs1. This implies that the Developers size the items after clarifying requirements with the Product Owner1.
