- If you manage a digital product that end users employ, such as a web or mobile
app, then you usually do not require in-depth technical skills, such as, being able to
program in Java, write SQL code, or know which machine learning framework
there are and if, say, TensorFlow is the right choice for your product.
- *if you look after a technical product* — a *product that is integrated into a
larger offering* like a physics engine, which forms part of a computer game—then
,you will require the appropriate technical skills in order to formulate technical
requirements and define software interfaces (APIs).
- the same applies if you are a *component owner*, someone who looks after an
architecture building block like a service, component, or layer that forms part of a
digital product: You will benefit from having hands-on experience in the
appropriate technologies.
How does an organization know that a product built through Scrum is successful?
By measuring that velocity has increased since the last release
By releasing often, and updating key performance indicators (KPIs) on value after
every release and feeding this information back into work on the Product Backlog
By measuring the actual time spent on development versus the time estimated for
development
By the Product Owner and stakeholders accepting the Increment at the Sprint
Review - ANSWER: By releasing often, and updating key performance indicators
(KPIs) on value after every release and feeding this information back into work on
the Product Backlog
Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing
opportunities for feedback. If a product isn't released, the opportunity to capture
user and market feedback is lost.

After the Daily Scrum to ensure an accurate daily overview of project progress.

The Product Owner shouldn't be occupied by that. It is work for the Project
Manager. - ANSWER: The Product Backlog is the plan in Scrum. It is updated as new
information and insights emerge.
The Product Backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be
used evolves. The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify
what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful.

ensuring an appropriate amount of time is spent without allowing waste in the
process.
How does Definition of "Done" help to the Scrum Team? Select the three most
applicable items.
DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment
Guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can
select during a Sprint Planning
DoD helps in inspection and adaptation
DoD ensures artifact transparency
DoD helps to calculate velocity of the Scrum Team - ANSWER: DoD is used to assess
when work is complete on the product Increment
Guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can
select during a Sprint Planning
DoD ensures artifact transparency
According to Scrum guidelines, who is responsible for hiring or assigning a new
person into a Team?
ScrumMaster
Product Owner
This is outside of the scope of Scrum
The self-managing Team - ANSWER: This is outside of the scope of Scrum

As much work as the Team can fit into a Sprint.
All of the analysis, design, development, testing and documentation work.
The best amount of work the Team can do given that is usually impossible for QA to
finish all of the testing that is needed to prove it can be shipped.
As much work as it has told the Product Owner will be done for every Product
Backlog item it selects. - ANSWER: As much work as it has told the Product Owner
will be done for every Product Backlog item it selects.
