Agile Mindset

Sessions 1 & 2 · 3 questions

Q1 Single choice

Which of the following best describes the Agile mindset?

Following a detailed plan precisely so that every team member knows exactly what to do at all times. Delivering as much software as possible in the shortest time, regardless of feedback from users. Embracing change, delivering value incrementally, and improving continuously based on feedback. Removing all planning and documentation so teams can move faster.

Scrum Framework

Sessions 3 & 4 · 4 questions

Q4 Single choice

In Scrum, who is responsible for prioritising the Product Backlog?

The Scrum Master, because they facilitate all Scrum events. The Developers, because they know what is technically feasible. The Product Owner, because they are accountable for the value delivered by the product. Senior stakeholders, because they fund the project.

Please select an answer before exporting.

Q5 Multi-choice

Which of the following are official Scrum events? Select all that apply.

There are five correct answers.

The Sprint. The Sprint Planning. The Project Status Meeting. The Daily Scrum. The Sprint Review. The Sprint Retrospective.

Please select at least one answer before exporting.

Q6 Single choice

A QuickBite stakeholder contacts the Developers directly mid-Sprint and asks them to add a new feature immediately. What is the correct Scrum response?

The team adds the feature if it seems important enough to justify the interruption. The Scrum Master adds the request to the Sprint Backlog and informs the team. The team refers the stakeholder to the Product Owner, who will assess and prioritise it for a future Sprint if appropriate. The team cancels the current Sprint and begins a new one that includes the new feature.

Q7 Open answer

In your own words, what is the difference between the Sprint Review and the Sprint Retrospective?

One sentence per event is enough. Focus on purpose, not procedure.

Planning & Backlog

Sessions 5 & 6 · 4 questions

Q8 Multi-choice

Using the three-question test from the course, which of the following QuickBite user stories are good? Select all that apply.

The three questions: Is it small enough to complete in one Sprint? Does it deliver value to a user? Can we tell when it is done? Select every story that passes all three.

As a customer, I want to see the estimated delivery time on my order confirmation screen, so that I know when to expect my food. As the QuickBite product team, we want to rebuild the entire backend payment infrastructure to support future scale. As a restaurant owner, I want to mark menu items as out of stock, so that customers cannot order items I cannot fulfil. As a delivery rider, I want to receive a notification when a new order in my area is available, so that I can accept it quickly. As a user, I want the app to be better.

Please select at least one answer before exporting.

Q9 Logical assignment

The QuickBite backlog contains the five items below. Prioritise them from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest), then justify your top choice in one sentence.

Item A

Allow customers to re-order a previous meal with one tap.

Item B

Fix a bug that causes the app to crash when a customer tries to pay using a saved card on Android devices.

Item C

Add a dark mode to the customer app.

Item D

Build a dashboard for restaurant owners to see their weekly revenue and top-selling items.

Item E

Allow delivery riders to set their availability status (online/offline) from the rider app.

Instructions

Write five backlog items for your own product in the text area below (one per line), then use the priority dropdowns to rank them. Label them A through E so the ranking matches.

Your priority ranking:

1st (highest) 2nd 3rd 4th 5th (lowest)

Please complete the ranking and justification before exporting.

Q10 Single choice

What does the Definition of Done primarily protect against?

Scope creep from stakeholders adding new requirements during a Sprint. Shipping work that appears finished but does not meet the team's agreed quality standard. The Developers working on the wrong backlog items. The Product Owner changing the Sprint Goal mid-Sprint.

Please select an answer before exporting.

Q11 Open answer

Write a Definition of Done for the QuickBite feature: customers can track their order in real time on a map.

Write a Definition of Done for one feature of your chosen product.

Include at least three criteria. Each should be a clear, testable statement — not a vague intention.

Execution, Quality & Scaling

Sessions 7, 8 & 9 · 4 questions

Q12 Single choice

During a QuickBite Sprint Retrospective, the team notices they keep missing their Definition of Done on testing tasks — for the third Sprint in a row. What should happen next?

Remove the testing criteria from the Definition of Done so the team can hit it consistently. The team identifies the root cause, agrees on a specific improvement action, and assigns an owner for the next Sprint. The Scrum Master logs the issue and raises it with the Product Owner to decide what to do. The team accepts it is not a big problem and moves on to planning the next Sprint.

Q13 Multi-choice

Which of the following are signs that a team is "Doing Agile" rather than "Being Agile"? Select all that apply.

There are three correct answers.

The team runs all Scrum events on schedule but uses the retrospective to complain rather than commit to change. The team regularly ships working software and shows it to real users at the Sprint Review. The Product Owner creates detailed specs for six months of work upfront, then hands them to the team to execute without discussion. Sprints are two weeks long because "that's just how Agile works," not because it fits the team's actual workflow. The team adapts their process after each retrospective and can explain why they work the way they do.

Please select at least one answer before exporting.

Q14 Open answer

From the anti-patterns covered in the course, choose the one you think is most common in real teams. Explain why it happens and what you would do about it.

3–4 sentences. Use a real or hypothetical example if it helps.

Q15 Logical assignment

Read the QuickBite Sprint scenario below. Identify two problems, name the Scrum principle each one violates, and suggest one fix per problem.

QuickBite — Sprint 7 scenario

The QuickBite team is halfway through Sprint 7. The Sprint Goal is to complete the real-time order tracking feature for customers. On Day 6, the Head of Marketing calls the Scrum Master and asks the team to pause tracking work and instead build a promotional banner feature for an upcoming campaign — the campaign launches in four days. The Scrum Master agrees and updates the Sprint Backlog without telling the Product Owner. The team switches tasks. At the Daily Scrum on Day 7, two developers mention they are also still finishing untested code from Sprint 6 that was marked as "done" but never met the Definition of Done. Nobody raises this as a problem. The Sprint ends with neither the tracking feature nor the promotional banner fully complete.

Synthesis & Reflection

Session 10 · 3 questions

Q16 Single choice

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the Product Owner and the Developers in Scrum?

The Product Owner manages the team and assigns tasks to individual developers each day. The Product Owner decides what is built and why; the Developers decides how to build it and how much they can do per Sprint. The Developers owns the backlog and invites the Product Owner to review it at the end of each Sprint. Both the Product Owner and Developers report to the Scrum Master, who makes final decisions on scope.

Q17 Multi-choice

Which of the following statements about Agile in practice are true? Select all that apply.

There are three correct answers. Read carefully — some options sound right but reflect common misconceptions.

Agile eliminates the need for planning — teams simply respond to whatever comes up each day. Agile works in contexts where requirements change frequently and early feedback is more valuable than a fixed specification. A team can follow every Scrum ceremony correctly and still not be delivering value if the backlog contains the wrong items. Scrum is the only correct implementation of Agile, and teams that do not use Scrum are not truly Agile. Quality is a shared responsibility — it belongs to the whole team, not only to testers or QA roles.

Please select at least one answer before exporting.

Q18 Logical assignment

Choose one concept from this course that you will apply in your work or studies within the next 30 days. Describe the concept, explain how you plan to apply it, and state what success would look like.

4–6 sentences. Use your own real context — not QuickBite. This is the one question where your personal situation is the point.
