Actual exam question for Scrum's PAL-I exam
Question #: 8
Topic #: 5
[All PAL-I Questions]

One of the newest and least experienced Scrum Teams in your organization has 7 members: 3 are in London (UK), 1 is in Paris (FR), and 3 are in Mumbai (IN). What outcome would you expect? (choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

In Agile, success is the result of collective effort, and team-based rewards encourage collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility. When bonuses are allocated based on individual performance, it can create competition within teams, which may lead to disengagement or reduced teamwork. Allowing the team to split the bonus reinforces the Agile values of collaboration, trust, and transparency.

Interesting question. I wonder if having an on-site Scrum Master in each location would really be the best approach. I'll need to think through the trade-offs.

I'm a bit worried about this. Distributed teams can really struggle with knowledge sharing and alignment. I'll need to consider how to mitigate those risks.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Having team members in different time zones could be both a blessing and a curse. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons.

Seriously, 'follow the sun'? That sounds like something my grandpa would say. Sounds more like a recipe for chaos than productivity.
