Scrum PSM-I Exam - Topic 4 Question 76 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-I exam

Question #: 76
Topic #: 4

You are the Scrum Master for four Scrum Teams working from the same Product Backlog. Several of the developers come to you complaining that work identified for the upcoming two Sprints will require full-time commitment from a technical specialist who is external to the teams. What are two key concerns for the Scrum Master to take into account in this situation? (Choose two.)

AThe desire to maintain a stable velocity.

BThe benefit of Development Teams figuring out a solution for themselves.

CThe need to have enough work to keep all Development Team members busy.

DThe ability of the Development Teams to produce integrated Increments.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C. The Scrum Team creates the Definition of Done. According to the Scrum Guide1, ''The Developers are required to conform to the Definition of Done, which is defined and evolves with the Scrum Team.'' The Definition of Done is a commitment by the Developers for the Increment, but it is also a shared understanding within the whole Scrum Team, including the Product Owner and the Scrum Master2. The Scrum Team collaborates to create and update the Definition of Done as needed, based on the product and organizational standards3. The Definition of Done is not imposed by any external authority or individual.

I wonder if having enough work to keep everyone busy is really a priority here. It seems like the focus should be on delivering quality increments instead.

I feel like we practiced a question about teams needing to solve problems on their own, which could relate to this situation. Maybe that’s a concern?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think maintaining a stable velocity is important too, especially if the teams are relying on that specialist.

I remember discussing how external dependencies can impact the team's ability to deliver integrated increments, so I think that might be a key concern.

I've got a strategy - I'll focus on the concerns around maintaining velocity and the teams' ability to integrate their work. Those seem like the most relevant factors to consider in this situation.

Okay, I think the key is balancing the desire for stable velocity with empowering the teams to solve the problem themselves. The ability to produce integrated Increments is also important.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if the need to keep all team members busy is a key concern here. I'll have to think this through.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the concerns around maintaining velocity and the benefits of the teams figuring out a solution themselves.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the team has been delivering value incrementally, so I'm wondering if there might be some value in exploring new solution components as suggested in option D. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This looks like a straightforward question about the priority range for transform rules on the Cisco Expressway. I'm pretty confident I know the answer, so I'll go with option C.

This seems like a straightforward question about the benefits of using simulators for testing. I'll need to carefully consider each option and think about the key advantages of simulators.

This is a classic Scrum dilemma - balancing the needs of the teams with the constraints of the real world. The Scrum Master has their work cut out for them!

You know, if the technical specialist is that critical, maybe we need to rethink the team structure. But either way, the Scrum Master has to find a way to make it work.

Hmm, the ability to produce integrated Increments is definitely a key concern here. We don't want to jeopardize the teams' progress just to keep everyone busy.
