Question 1

What is the primary characteristic of a self-organizing Scrum Team?

Accepted Answer

Developers decide internally how best to accomplish Sprint Backlog work

Answer

Self-organization means Developers choose the how—methods, assignments, and approaches—without being directed by anyone outside the team.

Question 2

Which management practice most inhibits team self-organization?

Accepted Answer

Assigning tasks directly to individual Developers rather than letting the team self-assign

Answer

Externally assigning tasks removes the team's autonomy to allocate work based on skill, availability, and emergent needs.

Question 3

In a self-organizing Scrum Team, how are technical decisions about implementation made?

Accepted Answer

By the Developers based on their collective expertise

Answer

Developers own all technical decisions about implementation; neither the PO nor Scrum Master directs the technical approach.

Question 4

A self-managing team disagrees on a technical approach and is stuck. What is the Scrum Master's appropriate response?

Accepted Answer

Facilitate a structured discussion that helps the team reach their own decision

Answer

The Scrum Master serves the team's self-management by facilitating good decision-making processes rather than making decisions for them.

Question 5

Which of the following best describes a cross-functional Scrum Team?

Accepted Answer

A team that has all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint without external dependencies

Answer

Cross-functionality means the team collectively possesses every skill needed to take a Product Backlog item from idea to Increment without waiting on others.
