Ideas the questions test most

  1. In Scrum the product owner orders the product backlog by value, the Scrum Master coaches the team and removes impediments, and the developers decide how to do the work and build the increment.
  2. The sprint review is for stakeholders to inspect the increment and give feedback; the retrospective is for the team to inspect how it works and choose improvements.
  3. Kanban has no fixed iterations: work items flow across a board, and work-in-progress limits expose bottlenecks. Lead time runs from request to delivery; cycle time from start of work to delivery.
  4. MoSCoW sorts requirements into must have, should have, could have and won’t have this time.

Common questions

What are the Scrum roles?

The product owner, who owns and orders the product backlog; the Scrum Master, who coaches the team in Scrum and removes impediments; and the developers, who plan and build the increment each sprint.

What is a WIP limit in Kanban?

A cap on how many work items may be in a column, such as “in progress,” at once. When the column is full, the team finishes work before starting more, which shortens cycle time and makes bottlenecks visible.
