Topics of Scrum PSM II: Professional Scrum Master II Exam
The following topics are part of the PSM II dumps and PSM II practice exams that a candidate must have a firm grip on, to pass the exam:
1. Agile Overview
Developing self-organizing and cross-functional teams to discover requirements and develop solutions. Valuing individuals and interaction, customer collaboration, accomodating changes over time, and focus on working software rather than comprehensive documentation. Using agile methods like Scrum and Kanban to manage focus on workflow. Differentiating between Agile and traditional waterfall methodology.
This section constitutes of the following subtopics:
- The Manifesto of the Agile
- Methods of Agile
- The Importance and boost of Agile
- Comparison of Agile and Traditional methodology
- Agile Manifesto Principles
- Interdependence Declaration
2. Scrum Overview
Developing an agile framework to break the task into timeboxed iterations (sprints). Encourage teams to learn through interactions, to coordinate themselves when working on an issue, and to focus on wins and losses to constantly improve. Overview of a series of discussions, methods, and roles that work together to help teams coordinate and handle their work.
This section constitutes of the following subtopics:
- Advantages of Scrum
- Processes of Scrum
- Characteristics of Scrum
- Principles of Scrum
3. Scrum Roles
Learning clearly defined roles of individuals in Scrum to improve efficiency. Scrum roles define the main responsibilities for those on the team. Roles in Scrum aren’t jobbed titles. Empiricism, self-organization, and constant development are the core of Scrum. The Scrum roles, therefore, include a minimum description of responsibilities and accountability to encourage teams to conduct work effectively. Scrum Roles can be divided into two main categories; Core and Non-core. The core roles are further divided and described below:
- Scrum Team
- Scrum Master
- Product Owner
4. Phases of Scrum Project
Learning the main processes and phases involved in Scrum. These phases can be divided into 3 main groups namely pregame, game and postgame. The phases are listed below:
- Implementation
- Review
- Initiation
- Release
- Retrospect
- Estimation and Planning
5. Scaling Scrum
Scaling is becoming more effective as you grow. This refers to connecting several teams to deliver complex solutions that need proper coordinated working. The larger the size of a team, the greater the contact lines between team members, making it more difficult to establish trust and a shared goal. Scaling scrum will, therefore, help to establish personal relationships and maintain desired results. Scaling scrum comprises of the following contents:
- Use of Scrum in Portfolios and Programs
- Scrum Scalability
- Maintaining Traditional Roles to Scrum
- Mapping to Scrum from Traditional Roles
- Significance of Executive Support
- Transition to Scrum
- Scrum of Scrums (SoS) Meeting
- Maintaining Stakeholder Engagement
6. Mock Product Development
Develop mock product using the skills learned to practice agile development
7. Case Studies
Using simulated case studies to gain experience in carrying out a Scrum project
NEW QUESTION 46
Which two statements are the most accurate in regards to scaling Scrum for large projects requiring multiple Scrum Teams? (Choose two.)
- A. Customizing the core Scrum framework is necessary to be successful with Scrum at large scale.
- B. A well-structured Product Backlog can minimize and often eliminate Development Team members working on multiple Scrum Teams during a Sprint.
- C. A person focusing on the Sprint Backlog of a single Scrum Team is often more productive than that same person working on multiple Scrum Teams at the same time.
- D. Team members must work full time on a single Scrum Team.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
A person or team working on a single problem at a time is typically more effective than one that is working on multiple problems congruently as they can fully focus and dedicate their energy to resolving the problem before moving to the next. Having a well-structured Product Backlog can help minimize dependencies and increase focus for each team.
NEW QUESTION 47
What guideline should the Scrum Master provide if the Product Owner asks how estimations should be made in Scrum?
- A. Estimates must be made in Story Points.
- B. Estimates are made by the Product Owner.
- C. Estimates must follow the Fibonacci Sequence.
- D. The Development Team is responsible for estimates.
- E. Estimates must be in relative units.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The people who will perform the work make the final estimates.
NEW QUESTION 48
The Development Team discovers that it doesn't have the tools and infrastructure to make each selected Product Backlog item done.
What is the most appropriate action for the Scrum Master to take?
- A. Encourage the Product Owner to accept partially done Increments and complete the work in the Hardening Sprint.
- B. Stop the Sprint and have the Development team work on the infrastructure before continuing.
- C. Coach the Development Team to improve its skills, tools and infrastructure over time and establish a Definition of "Done" that is actually possible to achieve given the current circumstances.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Scrum Master serves the Development Team by coaching it in self-organization and cross-functionality.
NEW QUESTION 49
Which approach would you recommend to ensure that the Product Backlog items discussed at Sprint Planning are well understood, actionable, and easier to forecast?
- A. Having the Product Owner work with stakeholders between the end of the last Sprint and before beginning the next to prepare the Product Backlog items so not to interrupt the Development Team.
- B. Having the business analysts in the Development Team create the upcoming Product Backlog items during a Sprint and adding them to the next Sprint's forecast.
- C. Having the Development Team use some time during each Sprint to help the Product Owner analyze, estimate, and design items at the top of the Product Backlog that is projected to be worked on in the upcoming Sprint.
- D. Having a separate group of business analysts and functional testers analyzing high-ordered Product Backlog items before Sprint Planning.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog. This is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items. During Product Backlog refinement, items are reviewed and revised. The Scrum Team decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team. However, Product Backlog items can be updated at any time by the Product Owner or at the Product Owner's discretion.
NEW QUESTION 50
Paul is a Product Owner for multiple products. Each product is allocated a dedicated Scrum Team and a set budget. Based on the average velocity of a previous product release, Paul had estimated a new product to take
9 Sprints to complete. The average velocity of the previous product release was 50 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the Development Team reported an average velocity of 40 completed units per Sprint, while not fully completing the required integration tests. The Development Team estimates that integration testing would require additional effort to make the increments shippable. The Development Team is unsure if the required velocity is achievable.
What is the most effective way to recover?
- A. The Scrum Master will manage the Sprint Backlog and assign work to the Development Team members to ensure maximum utilization of each member. He/she will keep track of unused resources so that it does not impact the budget. Unused budget can be allocated for additional Sprints if needed.
- B. The Scrum Master sets the open work aside to be performed in one or more release Sprints. They remind Paul to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which this remaining work can be done. Up to one release Sprint per three development Sprints may be required. It is Paul's role to inform users and stakeholders of the impact on the release date.
- C. In the next Sprints, the Development Team strives to make the selected work as close to 'done' as possible and at the minimum 90% completed. Any undone work is divided into new Product Backlog Items that will be deferred to the last Sprint in order to maintain stable velocity.
- D. The Development Team informs Paul that the progress he has perceived to date is not correct. The Increment is not releasable. They give Paul their estimate of the effort it would take to get the previous work
'done', and suggest doing that work first before proceeding with new features. The team also re-estimates the effort to make the remaining Product Backlog items 'done', including all integration effort. In the end, it is Paul's call to continue the project or to cancel.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Scrum is founded on empirical process control and asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. At the end of every Sprint, an increment of 'done' work must be available in order to inspect and adapt accordingly.
NEW QUESTION 51
Which statement is FALSE in regards to the Sprint Goal?
- A. It is only a forecast and changes during the Sprint as more is learned.
- B. If it doesn't seem achievable, the Development Team has the courage to tell the Product Owner.
- C. The Scrum Team discusses openly about alternative ways to reach it.
- D. The Product Owner respects the Development Team's opinion on whether they can achieve it.
- E. The Development Team commits to it.
- F. It helps increase focus.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Sprint Goal is an objective set for the Sprint that can be met through the implementation of Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the Development Team on why it is building the Increment.
NEW QUESTION 52

Lower trust levels will impact the Scrum Team's effectiveness and can cause impediments in the future. It is the responsibility of the Scrum Master to remove impediments that hinder the team through conflict resolution and facilitation.
NEW QUESTION 53
What is a Product Owner responsibility that he/she might delegate?
- A. Representing stakeholders to the Scrum team
- B. Ordering the Product Backlog
- C. Writing User Stories
- D. Attending the Sprint Review
