Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D, E

Three statements that are true about Scrum are:

Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and your usage of Scrum to develop complex products.

Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products.

Scrum is based on empiricism and lean thinking.

These statements are supported by [6]: ''Scrum is not a process, technique, or definitive method. Rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques. ... Each component within the framework serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success and usage. ... The rules of Scrum bind together events, roles, artifacts, and rules governing their relationships. ... The three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control: transparency, inspection, and adaptation.''

Wait, can you really just pick and choose parts of Scrum? That seems off.

I recall a practice question that mentioned empiricism in Scrum, so I feel like E has to be one of the answers too.

I think B is true because each part of Scrum really does have a specific role, but I’m not sure about E.

I’m a bit unsure about A. I thought Scrum Masters support the team rather than replace Project Managers entirely.

This is a good test of my Scrum knowledge. I'll methodically go through each answer choice and match it against the Scrum guide to determine the best 3.

A seems wrong to me - I thought Scrum Masters had a specific role, not just replacing Project Managers. I'll focus on the other options.

I'm a bit confused on C - I thought Scrum was more of a rigid framework, not something you can just pick and choose from. Let me re-read the question carefully.
