21 A mobile testing team receives frequent changes in device requirements during development. Which Agile practice best helps the team respond effectively?

22 A product owner changes the priority of a mobile payment feature after receiving user feedback. How should an Agile team generally respond?

23 A Scrum team is unsure who should decide whether a mobile feature provides enough business value. Which Scrum role is primarily responsible?

24 A team repeatedly misses Sprint Goals because impediments remain unresolved. Which Scrum role should primarily help remove or address these impediments?

25 During a two-week Sprint, a tester discovers that a selected feature is much larger than expected. What is the most appropriate immediate action?

26 A mobile application feature passes functional tests but fails accessibility checks at the end of a Sprint. Can it normally be considered complete?

27 Which user story is most suitable for testing a mobile ride-booking application?

28 A story says, "As a customer, I want faster login so that I can access my account quickly." Which acceptance criterion is most measurable?

29 A new mobile feature has moderate coding effort, high integration risk, and unclear requirements. Compared with a familiar small feature, how should its story-point estimate usually change?

30 A team estimates three stories as 2, 5, and 8 points. What is the best interpretation of these values?

31 During Planning Poker, one developer selects 3 points and another selects 13 points for the same story. What should the team do next?

32 A team has a historical velocity of 25 points and selects 38 points for the next Sprint. What is the main concern?

33 Which outcome is most important at the end of Sprint Planning?

34 A backlog item for offline mobile access is too large to estimate confidently. What is the most useful refinement action?

35 During refinement, testers identify that a story lacks acceptance criteria for poor network conditions. What should the team do?

36 At a Sprint Review, the demonstrated mobile feature does not meet a stakeholder's newly discovered need. What is the appropriate result?

37 What should a Scrum Team primarily demonstrate during a Sprint Review?

38 A team observes that automated tests are often written late, causing repeated defects. Which retrospective action is most effective?

39 Which discussion best fits a Sprint Retrospective?

40 A team discovers during Sprint Planning that a high-priority story depends on an unavailable test environment. What is the best response?

41 A mobile testing team discovers that device-specific defects are frequently found only after development is considered complete. Which Agile response best addresses this systemic problem?

42 A product owner changes the priority of a payment feature after regulatory guidance is issued during an iteration. Which action is most consistent with Agile principles?

43 A Scrum team has a Scrum Master who assigns testing tasks, approves completed work, and decides which backlog item enters the Sprint. Which interpretation is most accurate?

44 A Scrum team repeatedly meets its Sprint output target, but customers report that the delivered mobile features solve the wrong problems. Which Scrum accountability is most likely failing?

45 Halfway through a Sprint, an urgent production defect appears. The defect is unrelated to the Sprint Goal, but delaying it may affect user safety. What is the best Scrum response?

46 A team completes coding for a feature during a Sprint, but automated tests, accessibility checks, and store-build validation remain unfinished. Can the feature be counted as part of the completed Increment?

47 Which user story is most suitable for refinement because it expresses a user outcome while remaining testable?

48 A story says, "As a user, I want offline mode so the app works anywhere." Which refinement issue is most important to resolve first?

49 A reference story is estimated at 3 points. A new story has similar coding effort but requires testing on twice as many operating-system versions and includes uncertain synchronization behavior. How should it be estimated?

50 During planning poker, estimates for a mobile story are 3, 5, 5, 13, and 21. The 21-point estimate is based on an unverified assumption about a third-party SDK. What should the team do?

51 A team changes its reference story from 5 points to 8 points after several Sprints. What is the main consequence for velocity interpretation?

52 A team selects many high-priority stories during Sprint Planning but has not discussed device coverage, test data, or external service dependencies. What planning deficiency is most significant?

53 A team's historical velocity is 30 points, but two automation engineers will be unavailable for most of the next Sprint. What is the most defensible planning decision?

54 A story for push notifications appears small, but its acceptance criteria omit permission denial, revoked permissions, delayed delivery, duplicate messages, and offline recovery. What should happen during refinement?

55 A backlog item depends on an API contract owned by another team, and the contract may change. Which refinement outcome best reduces delivery risk?

56 At a Sprint Review, the team demonstrates a feature using mocked network responses because the real service is unavailable. What is the most accurate treatment of the feature?

57 Stakeholders at a Sprint Review request a feature that conflicts with current regulatory requirements. What should the team do?

58 A team identifies flaky mobile UI tests as a recurring problem. In each retrospective it agrees to "be more careful," but flakiness persists. Which improvement is strongest?

59 A retrospective reveals that testers often receive stories after development begins, causing late defects. Which action is most likely to address the root cause?

60 A team has improved its automated test pass rate, but escaped defects have increased because tests cover only the newest device model. What should the retrospective prioritize?
