Discuss GAQM CASPO-001 Exam Topic 6 Question 17

During a Sprint Retrospective, for what is the Scrum Master responsible? (Choose the best answer)

AActing as a scribe to capture the Developers' answers.

BPrioritizing the resulting action items.

CParticipating as a Scrum Team member and facilitating as requested or needed.

DSummarizing and reporting the discussions to management.

Suggested Answer: C

The Scrum Guide describes the Sprint Retrospective as an event where the Scrum Team inspects itself and plans improvements, with the Scrum Master playing a dual role: 'The Scrum Master participates as a peer team member in the Sprint Retrospective... and ensures that the event takes place and is positive and productive.' Option C captures this---participating as a team member and facilitating when needed. Option A (scribe) is too narrow and not required. Option B (prioritizing) is a team decision, not the Scrum Master's alone. Option D (reporting to management) violates Scrum's team autonomy. Thus, C is correct.

I remember a practice question where the Scrum Master was more about guiding the team than taking notes, which makes me lean towards C as well.
