Removing team member from a Scrum team and PBI

Hello.,
1. I have a question who removes not working well person from a dev team:
- Dev team as it is self organising (but how to do the work)
- scrum master - who is to remove impediments - could you give me examples what impediments he removes and which not?
- organisation as dev team are structered by the organisation.

How it is done practically - normally the dev team has not HR delegation, same might happen to Scrum master.

If scrum master and PO do not worlk well who removes them?

2. PBI has description, order, estimate, value - what does it mean - what is it value in this case could you give me some examples?

Cheers,
Romuald

PSM1 how to prepare

I studied the Scrum guide, the Scrum handbook, Scrum glossary, the book "Scrum and XP from the Trenches, the book "Agile Development, did take an official scrummaster course, several times the open assessment (100%), a test assessment with 80 guestions (12 wrong answers). Last but not least did the PSM1 exame and.. did not pass (16 wrong answers). Several question were quite unexpected. I found out that a lot of questions also can be found in the open assessment for practitioners. But this knowledge is not to be found in the earlier mentioned and adviced study material for PSM1. What can i do now to pass next time? Please advise.

Hi Team,

I have gone through the Scrum guide, and have also read this book -
http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Softwar...with+scrum

Apart from this, I am now scoring 95-100% consistently in open assessment.
Can I go for the PSM-1 certification now?

Quick question, once I buy PSM-1 assessment, I understand that I can take as many attempts as I can but is there a timeframe in which I need to complete it?

Thanks

Scrum Master role

While the Scrum Master plays a servant-leadership role to the P.O, Dev Team and organization, could it be interpreted/considered that the Scrum Master plays a "management" role in some form or shape (e.g. due to impediment removal outside dev team's control, Scrum process compliance, championing/leading Scrum adoption in the broader org.) -- even though there are no management "titles" or "positions" in a scrum team and the Scrum Master plays this role from a collaborative, facilitative standpoint?

Thoughts?

Number of attempts for PSM I

Hi,

How many attempts are allowed when I purchase a PSM I assessment? I've seen it mentioned that the number of attempts are unlimited, but this doesn't really make sense to me. In such a way, I could just keep trying and trying until I pass?

Scaling Professional Scrum and non-software products

To what extent is Scaling Professional Scrum intended to address the development, integration, and release of non-software products?

Scenarios may broadly include:

- the engineering of composite products or services, for which software may or may not be an element, but which will nonetheless align with the release of increments every few weeks
- project initiatives such as those involving heavy plant and construction and not just IT systems, and which are thus more likely to be stage-gated over several months or years
- industry verticals which have developed their own agile responses to demand, such as pharmaceuticals

Just missed the PSD, I was just needing 5%.

Already got my PSM and could use this knowledge the last 6 months, so I thought it was time to pass the PSD.

I used the material found in the forums and the books mentioned on the site.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I'm doing the PSM open assessments and, in the last 3 exams, have one or two fails only. So, I think I can do the PSM-I assessment and pass it but I can't stop thinking in the difference of the questions between the open assessment and the real assessment. Can anybody help me to decide if I'm prepared to pass the assessment?

Thanks in advance.

Scrum Master is a "management" position?

I saw this question somwhere and the answer was true while I thought it should have been false. Could someone tell me if this would be correct? Here's their explanation:

Scrum Master does not manage the Scrum Team or even the Development Team, but manages the Scrum process.

What are the side effects of for a company applying scrum for the first time with it's own existing terminology?

for example : they use development manager terminology for scrum master
second example : They use product directory as product owner. etc.

My personal views:

1) It creates confusion with the scrum concepts.
2) Company might end up missing some useful feature or power of scrum.
....and many more.


There is similar question on open assessment. But, somehow I do not understand one situation where It says management may feel less anxious as one of the possible situation.

This is what i don't understood. Less anxious meaning less worries. My feeling is when company misunderstands scrum (specially when it is new to the organization), It leads to more worries.

Please help me understand if "less anxiety for management" is one of the possible situation or not.

p.s. I started preparing for scrum certification. Please correct me if i am wrong.

The Development Team should not be interrupted during the Sprint. The Sprint Goal should remain intact. These are conditions that foster creativity, quality and productivity. Based on this, which of the following is FALSE

i have a doubt about this question:

Correct answer: B)
You chose: D)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this test.

A) The Product Owner can help clarify or optimize the Sprint when asked by the Development Team.
Missed correct answer

B) The Sprint Backlog and its contents are fully formulated in the Sprint Planning meeting and do not change during the Sprint.

C) As a decomposition of the selected Product Backlog Items, the Sprint Backlog changes and may grow as the work emerges.
Incorrect answer

D) The Development Team may work with the Product Owner to remove or add work if it finds it has more or less capacity than it expected.


the right question says: The Sprint Backlog and its contents are fully formulated in the Sprint Planning meeting and do not change during the Sprint.

At the scrum guide says: If the work turns out to be different than
the Development Team expected, they collaborate with the Product Owner to negotiate the
scope of Sprint Backlog within the Sprint

I'm really scared about this, it's making non sense to me, any one can help me to understand ?

Doing proper Scrum not Scrum-didly-um

Hi All

Im in the middle of helping to implement agile for an organisation who have just started to use scrum.

So far so bad,

There doesn't seem to be any real though gone into it, literally a few scrum boards have gone up with" to do, In Progress and Done swim lanes". There are 5 dev teams in total who work on the core backend code and platforms.

The attitude among the development team is that they will work it out as they go along and that it's failrly easy to to do scrum.

My view is that you need to standardise the scrum process, standardise your configuration tools, (TFS), internal wikis and that each team should be flexible within certain boundaries. At the moment all the back logs look different on TFS, some dev teams are following "some" elements of scrum and my personal view it has multiple points of failure and people will start to point the finger at scrum.

I champion the fact they have taken the initiative shows there is potential for self management but at the same time question the approach.

Thoughts.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I passed the PSM-I exam yesterday with a score of 91.3%.

Thanks to all that supported me by answering questions here. It really helped me a lot. I finished the 80 quesions in about 40 minutes and had 20 minutes left to review 10 questions that I had bookmarked.

I will start working on a SCRUM team next Monday for the first time and I am eager to apply the things I've learned into daily practice.

Thanks again and good luck to those preparing for the exam.
