Scrum PSM-I Exam - Topic 2 Question 63 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-I exam
Question #: 63
Topic #: 2
[All PSM-I Questions]

During Sprint Planning the Product Owner and the Developers are unable to reach an

understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Developers

are unable to determine how many Product Backlog items they can forecast for the upcoming

Sprint However, the Product Owner and the Developers are able to agree on a Sprint Goal.

Which of the following actions should the Scrum Master support?

(choose the best two answers)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

According to the Scrum Guide, two actions that the Scrum Master should support in this scenario are forecasting the Product Backlog items that are most likely to meet the Sprint Goal and creating the Sprint Backlog, and discussing why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur during the next Sprint Retrospective. These actions are consistent with Scrum values and principles, such as empiricism, adaptation, and continuous improvement. The other options are not valid actions, as they are either wasteful (such as canceling the Sprint or continuing the Sprint Planning past its timebox) or ineffective (such as asking everyone to take more time to analyze the Product Backlog).

I’m not sure about D, it feels risky to skip backlog clarity.

Wait, can they really just keep planning past the timebox?

I’m a bit confused about whether we should just keep pushing through or take a step back. Option B seems reasonable for reflection, but I wonder if it’s enough to solve the immediate issue.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where the focus was on maintaining momentum. Maybe option D is the best choice since it aligns with the Sprint Goal.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think option C might be risky. Extending the timebox could lead to frustration and burnout.

I remember we discussed how important it is for the team to have a clear understanding of the backlog items before starting the Sprint. I think option D makes sense here.

I'm not sure about the advanced Scrum training option. I think the Scrum Master should focus on supporting the team to reach an understanding during the current Sprint Planning event.

I'm leaning towards discussing this during the next Sprint Retrospective. That way, we can figure out what changes will make this less likely to happen again.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The Scrum Master should support continuing the Sprint Planning event past the timebox until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well enough understood.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I think the best approach is to forecast the Product Backlog items that are most likely to meet the Sprint Goal and create the Sprint Backlog.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should go with canceling the Sprint or continuing the Sprint Planning event past the timebox.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to make sure the contractor can't access the sensitive data, so I'd go with option B and configure their profile to prevent that access.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with Oracle Collections, so I'll need to think this through carefully.
