The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. The Scrum Master serves the
Scrum Team by ensuring that all Scrum events take place and are positive, productive, and kept within the
timebox.

Question 2 of 30

The Developers should not be interrupted during the Sprint and the Sprint Goal should remain

during the Sprint.

events in the Scrum Guide are mandatory, each event has a specific purpose.
2. Scrum does not eliminate the complexity that is inherent in delivering a product in today’s world,
instead it offers a framework for dealing with complexity. By regularly delivering Increments of
value teams gain the ability to inspect and rapidly adapt based on the feedback received.

optimizing decision making based on the knowledge and experience of the entire team.

B) 9.

C) Typically 10 or fewer people.

Feedback
Optimal Scrum Team size is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work
within a Sprint. Too few members decreases interaction and delivers smaller productivity gains. Too many
Scrum Team members requires too much coordination.

item, identified during the Sprint Retrospective, and place it in the Sprint Backlog.

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)

B) False

Feedback
An earlier version of the Scrum Guide prescribed the practice of placing one improvement in the Sprint
Backlog. This was removed in the 2020 update to the Scrum Guide because it was felt to be too
prescriptive. However, if this practice provides value to you then you should adopt it. It is simply not
prescribed anymore, but can still be valuable.
