Question 79 - Qid 6113042, Resource Management, 2. Process, 9.3 Acquire Resources

To acquire resources for the project, the project manager consults the resource management plan. The plan calls for the scrum master to be assigned to the team. However, the only individual in the company qualified to serve as a scrum master has already started working on another project, and her functional manager does not cooperate on a potential resolution.

How could this situation have been prevented?

The project manager should have checked the project's resource calendars for the availability of the scrum master. The project sponsor should have directed the project manager to serve as both the project manager and the scrum master. The scrum master should have refused to work on the other project knowing that she is the only qualified resource in the company. The availability of the scrum master should have been negotiated between the functional manager and the project manager during project initiation. Hint Marked Unmarked

What is the best strategy to ensure that all of the scrum roles and responsibilities are served in the project?

Remove the business analyst from the software development phase since that role is only associated with waterfall project management Mentor the business analyst to serve in the role of the product owner during the software development phase since those roles are closely aligned Request that one of the programmers serve as the voice-of-the-customer for the purposes of prioritizing the items in the product backlog Ask the most experienced tester to approve or reject the deliverables during the sprint review as testers are typically most familiar with the product Hint Marked Unmarked

What is the project manager's best course of action?

Write the software code for the developer since it is the project manager's responsibility to remove impediments Submit a change request to update the schedule baseline to reflect the delay caused by the impediment Move the user authentication feature back into the project backlog and ask the product owner to reprioritize it Recommend that the scrum team members use swarming as a technique to clear the impediment Hint Marked Unmarked

Question 89 - Qid 6113125, Scope Management, 1. People, 5.2 Collect Requirements

Collecting requirements for the project and creating the WBS has been a daunting task because stakeholders' needs are vague and are only expressed in the most general terms due to the nature of the project.
