Domain Agile and Scrum Overview

During a Scrum of Scrums Meeting certain Question:s are answered. Which of the following are the answered? A) What has my team been working on since the last meeting? B) What will my team do until the next meeting? C) What were other teams counting on our team to finish that remains undone? D) What is our team planning on doing that might affect other teams?

Answer options

Correct Answer:

D. ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Explanation

The Scrum of Scrums (SoS) meeting is a mechanism for coordinating multiple Scrum Teams working on a large project. According to the Scrum Body of Knowledge (SBOK® Guide), which is the primary reference for the ScrumStudy SMC certification, this meeting has a defined structure. Representatives from each team attend the SoS meeting and answer four specific questions to ensure alignment and address inter-team dependencies. The options A, B, C, and D correspond exactly to these four standard questions, which cover past progress, upcoming plans, existing impediments related to dependencies, and potential future impacts on other teams. Therefore, all listed questions are answered in the meeting.

Why Incorrect

A. C and D: This option is incorrect because it omits the questions regarding what the team has been working on (A) and what they will do next (B), which are essential for context and planning.

B. A and B: This option is incorrect as it leaves out the critical questions about unfulfilled dependencies (C) and potential impacts on other teams (D), which are the primary reasons for the meeting.

C. A, B, and D: This option is incorrect because it excludes the question about what other teams were counting on that remains undone (C), a key element for identifying and resolving impediments.

1. What has my team been working on since we last met?

2. What will my team do until we meet again?

3. What were other teams counting on our team to finish that remains undone?

4. What is our team planning to do that might affect other teams?

This directly validates that options A
