True or False? Scaled Scrum is one that conforms to Scrum and uses more than one team for all Sprints?

False. It’s called scaled Scrum when there is more than one team; however, it’s not necessary to have more than one team in all Sprints— it can be just for some of them.

True or False. Items at the top of the Product Backlog are, on average, smaller than those at the bottom?

True, this is how it works. When you first add the items to the Product Backlog, you don’t have to break them down into very small and clear items, because it’s a form of upfront planning. Some of them may be very large. When you order the items, if they go on the top of the list, you have to make them clear, and make sure they can fit into one Sprint; therefore you will break them down into smaller items. Some of those smaller items remain on the top, and some may go down. As a result, items at the top of the Product backlog bare on average smaller than those at the bottom. On the other hand, items in the Sprint Backlog come from the top of the Product Backlog, and therefore we can say that the items in the Sprint Backlog are, on average, smaller than items in the product backlog.
