Scrum PSM-I Exam - Topic 5 Question 94 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-I exam
Question #: 94
Topic #: 5
[All PSM-I Questions]

Cross-functional teams are optimized to work on one technical layer of a system only (e.g. GUI, database, middle tier, interfaces).

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

According to the Scrum Guide1, the Development Team consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of ''Done'' product at the end of each Sprint. Development Teams are structured and empowered by the organization to organize and manage their own work. The resulting synergy optimizes the Development Team's overall efficiency and effectiveness. Cross-functional teams have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team. The team model in Scrum is designed to optimize flexibility, creativity, and productivity.

I'd say this question is about as clear as mud. Anyone who's worked on a cross-functional team knows they don't just focus on one layer.

B) False. Cross-functional teams are the opposite of being siloed. They're all about tackling the system holistically.

I’m a bit confused. I thought cross-functional meant they could focus on one layer, but now I’m questioning that. Maybe it’s A?

This seems similar to a practice question I did last week. I think it was about collaboration across layers, so I’d say B as well.
