    • For which is the Scrum Master responsible?

    • The Developers ask their Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog. The team is waiting for an external supplier to deliver a component. Without that component, there will not be enough work in the next Sprint to occupy the full team. As the Scrum Master, what advice would you give the Product Owner?

      • Remind the Product Owner that his primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog.

      • They do not have to be there; they only need to ensure the Development Team has a Daily Scrum.

    • You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using Scrum. In the initial project, there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e., one for the front-end, one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services. This resembles what is known as component teams. But you have read that it's a good idea to have teams organized by feature. What are the advantages of keeping component teams while starting Scrum?

    • A Development Team selects a set of Product Backlog items for a Sprint Backlog with the intent to get the selected items Done by the end of the Sprint. Which three phrases best describe the purpose of a definition of Done? (Choose three.)
