Professional Scrum Master PSM-I Syllabus Exam Questions Answers

 According to the Scrum Guide, a Development Team needs a Sprint Goal because it provides guidance and focus for building an Increment that delivers value. The other options are not valid reasons for having a Sprint Goal, as they are either incorrect (such as giving purpose only to Sprint 0 or ensuring implementation of all Product Backlog items) or irrelevant (such as knowing everything from the Product Backlog).

 According to the Scrum Guide, the Daily Scrum is held at the same time and same place to reduce complexity and promote consistency. The other options are not valid reasons for holding the Daily Scrum at the same time and same place, as they are either irrelevant (such as naming the place) or incorrect (such as being demanded by the Product Owner or booking rooms in advance).

The correct answer is A, because the Product Owner does not need to be present at the Daily Scrum. The Scrum Guide states that “the Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours. … The structure of the meeting is set by the Development Team and can be conducted in different ways if it focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal.” Therefore, the Daily Scrum is an internal event for the Development Team, and the Product Owner can attend only if invited by the Development Team.

The Scrum Team consists of three roles: the Scrum Master, who coaches and facilitates the team; the Product Owner, who manages and prioritizes the Product Backlog; and the Development Team, who delivers a potentially releasable Increment at the end of each Sprint. A project manager is not part of the Scrum Team, as Scrum does not recognize titles or sub-teams. None of the above is also not a correct answer, as it implies that there is no Scrum Team at all.
