Scrum Exam SPS Topic 3 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's SPS exam
Question #: 13
Topic #: 3
[All SPS Questions]

Scenario C: Dependencies and Product Backlog items

During Nexus Sprint Planning, representatives from each of the 9-member Scrum Teams

identify many dependencies. This makes it hard for them to choose the work they could pull

into their individual teams for the next Sprint. No matter how they reorganize the Product

Backlog items, they continually find more or new dependencies.

What should the Scrum Teams do to effectively deal with their dependencies?

(choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

The Nexus framework is a way of scaling Scrum for multiple teams working on a single product. The Nexus framework uses Scrum as its building block and extends it only where necessary to minimize and manage dependencies between teams 12. The Nexus framework defines the accountabilities, events, and artifacts that bind and weave together the work of the teams in a Nexus 12. One of the key roles in the Nexus framework is the Nexus Integration Team, which is a team of people who are responsible for coordinating, coaching, and supervising the integration of the work done by the Scrum Teams in the Nexus 21.

The purpose of the Nexus Integration Team is to:

Raise transparency. This is answer A. This is a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is responsible for raising transparency across the Nexus 213. Transparency is one of the pillars of empiricism, which is the principle of making decisions based on observation, inspection, and adaptation 12. The Nexus Integration Team helps to raise transparency by facilitating the Nexus events, such as the Nexus Sprint Planning, the Nexus Daily Scrum, the Nexus Sprint Review, and the Nexus Sprint Retrospective 213. The Nexus Integration Team also helps to raise transparency by visualizing the Nexus Sprint Backlog, which is a representation of the work across the Nexus that has dependencies 213. The Nexus Integration Team also helps to raise transparency by communicating and collaborating with the stakeholders, the Product Owner, and the Scrum Teams 213.

Be accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced. This is answer C. This is a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced 214. The Integrated Increment is the integrated aggregation of all work completed by all the Scrum Teams in a Nexus 124. The Integrated Increment is the potentially releasable outcome of the Sprint, which means it meets the quality standards and expectations of the stakeholders 124. The Nexus Integration Team is accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced by ensuring that the work done by the Scrum Teams meets the Definition of Done, which is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product 214. The Nexus Integration Team is also accountable that an Integrated Increment is produced by helping the Scrum Teams to identify and resolve any integration issues or dependencies that may affect the quality and delivery of the product 214.

The other two answers are not correct because:

Manage the Nexus. This is answer B. This is not a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is not the manager of the Nexus. The Nexus Integration Team is a role that consists of the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, and other members who are responsible for coordinating, coaching, and supervising the integration of the work done by the Scrum Teams in the Nexus 211. The Nexus Integration Team does not manage or control the Nexus, but rather supports and enables the Nexus 211. The Nexus is self-organizing and autonomous, which means it decides how to do its work and what work to do 124.

Integrate the work of the Scrum Teams. This is answer D. This is not a valid answer because the Nexus Integration Team is not the one who integrates the work of the Scrum Teams. The Nexus Integration Team is a role that consists of the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, and other members who are responsible for coordinating, coaching, and supervising the integration of the work done by the Scrum Teams in the Nexus 211. The Nexus Integration Team facilitates the integration of the work, but does not do it for the teams 211. The teams are responsible for integrating their own work and delivering a potentially releasable Increment of product value in each Sprint 124.

Dependencies? More like 'defriend-encies'. Maybe we should just send the backlog items to each other on Snapchat - those disappear fast enough, right?

All of the above? Might as well throw in a dance party and some trust falls while we're at it. Dependencies are tough, but we've got this!

Quarterly meetings for planning dependencies? Sounds like a recipe for endless meetings and bureaucracy. Let's keep things agile!

But what about merging teams with the most dependencies?

I agree with Lasandra, that could help us reduce dependencies.

Merging teams might work, but it could create other issues. Better to focus on improving communication and collaboration between teams.

I think we should increase Cross-Team Refinement.

Increasing the frequency of Cross-Team Refinement seems like the most logical approach. Sharing information and aligning backlog items across teams can help reduce dependencies.
