During a Sprint Retrospective, for what is the Scrum Master responsible? (Choose the best answer)
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.
What happens if the customer no longer wants the feature that the Sprint Goal intended to meet? (Choose the best answer)
If the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete (e.g., a feature is no longer needed), the Product Owner can cancel the Sprint. The Scrum Guide states: 'A Sprint can be cancelled if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel the Sprint.'
A: Correct---the Product Owner decides.
B: Stakeholders advise, but don't decide.
C: The Scrum Master lacks this authority.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'A Sprint can be cancelled if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. This might occur if the company changes direction or if market or technology conditions change. Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel the Sprint.' (Section: 'Sprint Cancellation')
Thus, A is correct.
Who creates the Definition of "Done"? (Choose the best answer)
The Definition of 'Done' is a shared standard, often set by the organization, but defaults to the Scrum Team if no broader standard exists. The Scrum Guide states: 'If the Definition of Done for an increment is part of the conventions, standards, or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product.'
A: Correct---organizational standards take precedence, otherwise the Scrum Team defines it.
B: Collaboration occurs, but it's not just a 'common denominator.'
C, D: Neither the Product Owner nor Scrum Master owns it alone.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product... If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product.' (Section: 'Definition of Done')
Thus, A is correct.
Which statement is least accurate when providing a definition of "Done"? (Choose the best answer)
The Definition of 'Done' is a team or organizational standard, not the Scrum Master's sole responsibility. The Scrum Guide states: 'If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product.'
A: Accurate---it defines completion.
B: True---it can differ by context or product.
C: Least accurate---the Scrum Team or organization defines it, not just the Scrum Master.
D: Correct---it evolves with maturity.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product... If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create [it].' (Section: 'Definition of Done')
Thus, C is correct.
Which is NOT a Scrum role? (Choose the best answer)
Scrum defines three roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers. The Scrum Guide states: 'The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers.' Project Manager (C) is a traditional role absent in Scrum, where responsibilities are distributed among the Scrum Team.
A, B, D: These are explicit Scrum roles.
C: Not a Scrum role.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers. Within a Scrum Team, there are no sub-teams or hierarchies.' (Section: 'The Scrum Team')
Thus, C is correct.
