Scrum PSPO-I Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Non-functional requirements are the criteria that define the quality, performance, security, usability, and other aspects of a product1. They are often implicit or assumed, but they are important to make visible and explicit, as they affect the value and satisfaction of the product2. One effective way to make non-functional requirements visible is to add them to the Product Backlog, which is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product[3][3]. By adding non-functional requirements to the Product Backlog, the Product Owner and the Developers can prioritize, refine, and estimate them, and make them transparent to the stakeholders4. Another effective way to make non-functional requirements visible is to add them to the Definition of Done, which is a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, and ensures transparency of the quality of the work done5. By adding non-functional requirements to the Definition of Done, the Developers can ensure that every Product Backlog item and Increment meets the expected quality standards, and that the work is taken care of every Sprint.

The Sprint Retrospective is one of the five events defined by Scrum. It is a formal opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint. The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to adapt the way of working so that it becomes more effective and enjoyable. The other options are not required by Scrum, but may be useful practices depending on the context. Developers do not have to stand up at the Daily Scrum, they can choose any format that works for them. A Sprint Burndown Chart is a common way to visualize the remaining work in a Sprint, but it is not mandated by Scrum. Release Planning is a topic that falls under the broader competency of Managing Products with Agility, but it is not a prescribed event in Scrum.

The reasons why it is important that there is only one Product Owner per product are:

• It is clear who is accountable for the ultimate value of the product. The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. They are responsible for identifying and articulating the Product Goal, which is a long-term objective for the product that guides all the activities of the Scrum Team.
• It helps avoid barriers to effective communication and rapid decision-making. The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog, which is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product. They must ensure that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible, and understood by everyone who needs to work on it. They must also collaborate with the Developers and the stakeholders to refine, order, and prioritize the Product Backlog items based on value and impact.
• The Scrum Team always knows who determines the order of the Product Backlog. The Product Owner has the final authority to decide what items are more important and valuable for the product. They must communicate this order clearly and consistently to the Scrum Team and the stakeholders. They must also respect and support the self-management of the Developers in choosing how best to accomplish their work.

Other options, such as the Scrum Master knowing who acts as their backup while on vacation or it would confuse the stakeholders if they had to work with more than one person, are not valid reasons why it is important that there is only one Product Owner per product. They may reflect a misunderstanding of the roles and accountabilities of the Scrum Team or the stakeholders.
