Q18. Your development team uses the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template. The team has identified items from the product backlog for the next sprint.
You need to ensure that the team has adequate capacity to complete the next sprint.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.)
A. Review the sprint Burndown chart.
B. Have the team assign hour estimates to each sprint task.
C. Review the sprint backlog.
D. Assign story points to each item in the product backlog.
E. Review the product backlog with forecast set to On to determine if the sprint can be completed based on the team’s velocity.
F. Set each team member’s per day capacity.
Answer: CEF
Explanation: Sprint Burndown charts can show the team how much work remains in the Sprint. These charts will often include an ideal trend line. This line represents the ideal rate at which the Development Team is able to complete all of the remaining effort, at a constant rate, by the end of the Sprint.

Prior to the Sprint, there shouldn’t be any Task work items in the Sprint Backlog. Ideally, the Development Team creates its tasks during the Sprint Planning meeting and not before.
Professional Scrum Development with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 p.175
The Sprint Backlog contains those items selected by the Development Team plus a plan for delivering them. The Sprint Backlog shows the work remaining in the Sprint at all times.

Story points should be already assigned to PBIs during identification for the sprint.
Q19. You are utilizing the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template.
Your development team uses the storyboard feature in Visual Studio 2012.
You need to ensure that there is consistency of user interface between different features of the product.
What should you do?
A. Create a design guide document with images of sample standard layouts. Provide a copy of this document to all team members.
B. Create custom storyboard shapes by using Microsoft PowerPoint that match your corporate standard user interface (UI) controls. Export these and make them available to the team as an import for use in all storyboards.
C. Create custom storyboard shapes in PowerPoint that match your corporate standard UI controls. Save the results as a PowerPoint template in the SharePoint site associated with the Team project collection. Instruct team members to import the shapes.
D. Create images of your UI controls as GIF/JPEG files that match your corporate standard UI controls. Export these and make them available to the team as an import for use in all storyboards.
Answer: B
Q20. You are developing an application by using a team of developers and a team of testers. You have an automated nightly build.

Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Enable code analysis.
B. Instruct the testers to use diagnostic data collection in their test environment.
C. Instruct the testers to test only every other build.
D. Instruct the testers to use action recordings and playback during manual testing.

Answer: BD
Q21. You are using the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template. You recently finished a sprint.
You need to conduct a retrospective meeting prior to planning the next sprint.
What should you do?
A. Select items from the product backlog for the next sprint.
B. Decompose the product backlog items into a set of tasks.
C. Determine which items have been finished on the previous day.
D. Analyze the previous sprint to identify what the team is going to do differently during the next sprint.
Answer: D
Explanation: This meeting provides an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect themselves and identify what went well and what needs improving. If improvements are identified, the team should create an actionable plan for the next Sprint. Nothing is out of scope during this meeting—people, relationships, process, and tools can all be discussed. The Scrum Team may also decide to adjust its Definition of “Done” to increase product quality. After the meeting, the next Sprint begins.

B. Microsoft Waterfall 6.0
C. Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0
D. Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) Process Template
E. Microsoft Kanban 1.0
Answer: CE
Explanation: You can choose based on the following considerations:
Choose Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 or later version if your team uses Scrum, manages bugs along with product backlog items during sprint planning, and wants work items and processes designed to support Scrum.
Choose MSF for Agile Software Development 6.0 or later version if your team uses Agile methods, and you resolve work items before closing them.
Choose MSF for CMMI Process Improvement 6.0 or later version if your team requires a rigorous audit trail, and follows a formal process for change management.

The SDL has been shown to reduce the number of vulnerabilities in shipping software by more than 50 percent. However, from an Agile viewpoint, the SDL is heavyweight because it was designed primarily to help secure very large products, such as Windows and Microsoft Office, both of which have long development cycles.
