As a Scrum Master, it is important that you assess skill gaps and training requirements for the team members, and map the
skills, capabilities, and interest level of team members in using those skills and capabilities on a project. Which one of the
following tools can help you do this?
A
Explanation:
The Skills Requirement Matrix, also known as a competency framework, is used to assess skill gaps and training
requirements for team members. A skills matrix maps the skills, capabilities, and interest level of team members in using
those skills and capabilities on a project. Using this matrix, the organization can assess any skill gaps in team members and
identify the employees who will need further training in a particular area or competency. Team members may not always
possess the required knowledge or skills to work in the Scrum environment. The Product Owner should evaluate the training
needs of potential team members and facilitate training to bridge any knowledge gaps in the team.

Which of the following is true about a Prioritized Product Backlog?
B
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 teams
ability to deal with risk.

All of the following statements about Risk Communications are true, EXCEPT:
B
Explanation:
Because stakeholders have an interest in the project, it is important to communicate with them regarding risks. 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 farrisk 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.
