[All PSM-I Questions]

During a Sprint, when is new work or further decomposition of work added to the Sprint Backlog?

AWhen the Product Owner identifies new work.

BAs soon as possible after they are identified.

CWhen the Scrum Master has time to enter them.

DDuring the Daily Scrum after the Development Team approves them.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The best answer is C. The function or purpose of management in Scrum is to present the Scrum Teams with insights and resources that help them improve. According to the article What is the Function or Purpose of Management in Scrum?, management is still critical to providing vision, securing resources, hiring talent, training teams, removing roadblocks, and continuously improving. Management also encourages collaboration and establishes Scrum Team autonomy, which are essential for Scrum's values and principles.

A, B and D are not good answers because they imply a command-and-control approach that contradicts Scrum's values of respect, openness, and self-organization. Management in Scrum is not supposed to micromanage, judge, or interfere with the work of the Developers, but rather support them and enable them to deliver value.

Wait, can the Scrum Master really just add work? Sounds off.

A is misleading, the PO can't just add stuff whenever.

I think D makes more sense, it needs team approval first.

It's definitely B, new work should be added ASAP.

I think it might be during the Daily Scrum, but I wonder if that means they have to wait for approval first.

I feel like the Scrum Master shouldn't be the one to add work; it seems like it should be more collaborative with the team.

I remember something about adding work as soon as it's identified, but I can't recall if that means immediately or if there's a specific process.

I think new work can only be added when the Product Owner identifies it, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only time.

I've got a good feeling about this question. The Scrum framework has clear guidelines on when new work can be added to the Sprint Backlog, so I'm confident I can identify the correct answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is understanding when new work can be added to the Sprint Backlog during a Sprint. I'll review the Scrum Guide to refresh my memory on the right approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Scrum has specific rules around the Sprint Backlog, but I can't quite recall the details. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward Scrum question. I'm pretty confident I know the answer, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

This is a tricky one. I know the Sprint Backlog is supposed to be fixed during the Sprint, but I'm not sure if that applies to new work that comes up. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I think the key is understanding what "thin provisioning" means in the context of virtual server disks.

I'm a bit confused by this question. There are a few potential issues with cloud storage, but I'm not sure which one is considered the "typical" issue. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through this.

This question seems straightforward. I'll focus on identifying processes with unusual names that don't follow typical conventions.

D) The Daily Scrum is where the team discusses progress and impediments, not where they approve new work. That's the Product Owner's domain.

B) As soon as possible makes the most sense. We want to get new work into the Sprint Backlog right away so the team can start working on it.

A) The Product Owner is responsible for managing the Product Backlog, so that's the correct answer. I'm surprised anyone would think the Scrum Master has to enter new work!
