Scrum PSM-II Exam - Topic 4 Question 83 Discussion

Posted by Jacqueline on Jun 13, 2025 at 05:48 AM

Self-management is more effective when it happens within boundaries.

Select two relevant boundaries for self-management provided by the Scrum framework.

(choose the best two answers)

Suggested Answer: A, C

The best two answers are A and C.

A) Timeboxing work to allow for frequent inspection. This is a relevant boundary for self-management provided by the Scrum framework, as it helps the Scrum Team to organize their work into fixed-length Sprints and other events, such as the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Planning, the Sprint Review, and the Sprint Retrospective. Timeboxing enables the Scrum Team to inspect their progress, adapt their plan, and deliver value regularly and predictably.

C) Creating a valuable and useful Increment by the end of each Sprint. This is also a relevant boundary for self-management provided by the Scrum framework, as it guides the Scrum Team to focus on delivering a product Increment that meets the Sprint Goal and the Definition of Done. Creating a valuable and useful Increment requires the Scrum Team to collaborate, communicate, and coordinate effectively, and to apply their skills and creativity to solve complex problems.

I don't think D is relevant at all; having an even number of team members seems off for Scrum.

I think C makes sense too, but I can't recall if it fits the boundary concept we studied.

This is a good opportunity to demonstrate my Scrum knowledge. I'll select the timeboxing and Scrum team structure options, as those provide clear boundaries for self-management.
GI

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Is it asking about boundaries for the Scrum team, or for individual self-management? I'll need to re-read it carefully.

Okay, I've got this. Timeboxing and creating a valuable Increment are definitely key Scrum boundaries that support self-management. I'll select those two.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the "boundaries" part of the question. I'll need to think carefully about what specific Scrum practices provide boundaries for self-management.

Haha, option D is just bizarre. Who cares about the team size as long as they can get the work done?
