CSM Practice Exam 05: Agile Values & Team Dynamics

CSM Exam 5: Principles of Agility

This exam tests your knowledge of Sustainable Development, The Agile Manifesto, and Empirical Design.

Sustainable Pace: Agile teams should work at a speed they can maintain forever. Working long hours to "catch up" is not part of Scrum.
Documentation: We do not avoid documents, but we only create what is needed. If a document does not help the user or the product, we don't make it.
The "Storming" Phase: New teams often go through a time of conflict. A Scrum Master helps them move through this to reach high performance.

Q:1How does Scrum handle documentation?
Agile values working software more than long papers. We write documents only when they bring real value to the team or the customer.
Q:2Why do Scrum projects "learn as they go" instead of planning everything at the start?
Scrum is based on experience. We make the best choices by looking at what we have already built rather than guessing about the future.
Q:3What is the best way for a Scrum team to work?
Sustainable development is a core Agile rule. Teams should not work so hard that they burn out. A steady pace leads to better quality.
Q:4Which of these is a normal stage that teams go through as they grow?
Teams usually move through stages like forming and storming. Storming is when team members might disagree before they learn how to work well together.

2. Protecting the Team The Scrum Master must stop outside managers from giving the team extra work that was not planned for the Sprint.
3. Just Enough Design Scrum teams do not plan everything at the start. They do enough design to begin and then improve the design as they learn more.
