Information provided to stakeholders related to risk should include potential impact and the plans for responding to each risk. This communication is on-going and should occur in parallel with the four sequential steps discussed thus far-risk identification, assessment, prioritization and mitigation. The Scrum Team may also discuss specific risks related to their Tasks with the Scrum Master during Daily Standup Meetings. The Product Owner is responsible for the prioritization of risks and for communicating the prioritized list to the Scrum Team. An important tool which can be used for communicating information related to risks is the Risk Burndown Chart.

NEW QUESTION 34
The Scrum Master is attending a meeting in which the Scrum Team is estimating the effort required to develop the functionality described in each User Story. The team wants to adopt an estimation technique through which they will be able to quickly estimate a large number of User Stories. Which of the following techniques do you think they should adopt?
- A. Affinity Estimation.
- B. Relative Sizing.
- C. Wideband Delphi.
- D. Planning Poker.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Affinity estimation is a technique used to quickly estimate a large number of User Stories. Using sticky notes or index cards or tape, the team places User Storied on a wall or other surface, in order from small to large. For this, each team member begins with a subset or User Stories from the overall Prioritized Product Backlog to place by relative size. This initial placement is done in silence. Once everyone has placed their User Stories on the wall, the team reviews all the placements and may move User Stories around as appropriate. The second part of the exercise involves discussion. Finally, the Product Owner will indicate some sizing categories on the wall. These categories can be small, medium or large, or they may be numbered using story point values to indicate relative size. The team will then move User Stories into these categories as the final step in the process. Some key benefits of this approach are that the process is very transparent, visible to everyone, and is easy to conduct.

NEW QUESTION 37
Which of the following is true about a Prioritized Product Backlog?
- A. Greater value items, although potentially riskier, are given higher priority in a Prioritized Product Backlog.
- B. Uncertainty should be ruled out of the Risk-adjusted Prioritized Product Backlog.
- C. A Prioritized Product Backlog should not have the most valuable User Story on top, because it could be risky.
- D. For a Sprint to succeed, User Stories picked for a Sprint should be interlinked with those selected for subsequent Sprints.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The more uncertainty exists in a project, the riskier the project is. Therefore, it is important that riskier products in the Prioritized Product Backlog are given higher priority. Products carrying a higher level of risk will also require risk mitigation actions. When these risk mitigation actions are prioritized against the backlog, the result is a Risk Adjusted Product Backlog. Dealing with risks early in the project does not guarantee that the project will be successful, but it does enhance the team's ability to deal with risk.
