What is quality in Scrum?
In Scrum quality is defined as the ability of the completed product or deliverable to meet the acceptance criteria, and achieve the business value expected by the customer.
Explain the concept of continuous improvement adopted in Scrum.
- The team learns from experience and stakeholder engagements to constantly keep the Prioritized Product Backlog
- The Prioritized Product Backlog is never complete until the closure or termination of the project
- changes to requirements reflect changes to the internal and external business environment.
The scrum process requires work to be completed in the Spring. What are the advantages of this approach?
- errors are fixed right away
- quality-related tasks are completed as part of the same sprint
- ensure quality is inherent in any deliverable as part of a sprint.
Continuous improvement ensures that the gap between the customer’s expectations from the project and the actual deliverables produced is constantly reduced. How?
- continuous improvement with repetitive testing optimizes the probability of achieving the expected quality level
- constant discussion between the Scrum Core Team and the stakeholders including users and customers.
Scrum welcomes changes by using short iterative sprints. How is it beneficial?
it allows customers to regularly interact with Scrum Team members and view deliverables as they are ready and even to require changes if needed.
What is a risk in a scrum process?
