Questions about Mikhail Lapshin's quiz
Hello everyone,
today I did the PSM I Preparation Quiz of Mikhail Lapshin.
For two questions I found the sample answers worthy of disscusion.
1) Who participates in the Sprint Review? Select all applicable variants.
- The Scrum Master
- The Development Team
- The Product Owner
- The Key Stakeholders
- The Organization CEO
Right answer:
- The Scrum Master
- The Development Team
- The Product Owner
- The Key Stakeholders
Why isn't the organization CEO not allowed to participate? Maybe he/ she is a stakeholder too. In my opinion, the CEO should also be allowed to participate if interested or as a stakeholder.
2) How does Definition of “Done” help the Scrum Team? Select three most applicable items.
- DoD helps to calculate velocity of the Scrum Team
- DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment
- DoD guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during a Sprint Planning
- DoD ensures artifact transparency
- DoD helps in inspection and adaptation
Right answer:
- DoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment
- DoD guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during a Sprint Planning
- DoD ensures artifact transparency
I think the last point should also be correct. The DoD allows the developers to check if all criteria of the DoD are fulfilled and to adjust the development result if necessary. Therefore the DoD helps in inspection and adaption.
What do you think?
Thanks, Nadine
Why isn't the organization CEO not allowed to participate? Maybe he/ she is a stakeholder too. In my opinion, the CEO should also be allowed to participate if interested or as a stakeholder.
Wouldn't the CEO then be participating as a stakeholder?
I think the last point should also be correct.
The question is asking for the three most applicable answers, not those which are correct. All of the supplied answers appear to be correct. In the case of the first, the DoD does help to calculate velocity, because the measure can only credibly apply to work that is Done. I suppose it might be argued that the three indicated answers are the most applicable, but that would be a value judgment.
I always advise caution when it comes to non-scrum.org material. The nuance in the language is important and you can sometimes get led in the wrong direction and even given model answers that are just plain incorrect....
Many thanks to both of you. This shows that my understanding is similar to yours.
The site of Mikhail Lapshin was often recommended here in the forum for PSM exam preparation. I think it is important not to simply accept all answers but to question and discuss them, that is surely the way you learn the most.
1) Who participates in the Sprint Review? Select all applicable variants.
- The Scrum Master
- The Development Team
- The Product Owner
- The Key Stakeholders
- The Organization CEO
Here is the key words participates.
So the given answer is correct. If the CEO is also stakeholder then he can also participate.
Thanks.

Having taken two scrum certification assessments so far, I can honestly say that the wording in scrum.orgs exams is also not straight forward (the open assessments are quite clear on the otherhand), and would say that they are more tricky than any questions I have come across from other sites.

Having taken and passed two scrum certification assessments so far (PSM1 & PSK1), I can honestly say that the wording in scrum.orgs exams is also not straight forward (the open assessments are quite clear on the otherhand), and would say that they are more tricky than any questions I have come across from other sites.
You can find in the section (PASS PSM I with 90% at the FIRST TRY and 4 DAYs of PREPARATION) some study tips, which really work well with your setup and schedule. And I hope it helps you to pass scrum certification assessments well.
