Professional Scrum Master Scrum Artifacts and Commitments 2

Question 1

A new team member asks where the Product Goal is documented. What is the correct answer?

Accepted Answer

In the Product Backlog

Answer

The Product Goal is part of the Product Backlog — it is the long-term objective the Product Backlog describes how to achieve.

Question 2

The Scrum Team completes a Sprint but the Increment does not meet the Definition of Done. What happens to that work?

Accepted Answer

It is not included in the Increment and returned to the Product Backlog

Answer

Work that does not meet the Definition of Done cannot be part of the Increment and must be returned to the Product Backlog for future consideration.

Question 3

Which statement BEST describes the relationship between the Sprint Goal and the Sprint Backlog?

Accepted Answer

The Sprint Backlog is the plan for achieving the Sprint Goal

Answer

The Sprint Backlog consists of the Sprint Goal, selected Product Backlog items, and the plan for delivering the Increment — so the backlog is the plan to achieve the goal.

Question 4

A Product Owner wants to remove the Definition of Done to ship faster. As Scrum Master, what do you do?

Accepted Answer

Explain that the Definition of Done is mandatory and ensures transparency

Answer

The Definition of Done is a formal commitment in Scrum that creates transparency and ensures the Increment is truly done — it cannot simply be removed.

Question 5

During Sprint Planning, the team cannot agree on a Sprint Goal. What should happen?

Accepted Answer

Continue the discussion until a meaningful Sprint Goal is agreed upon

Answer

The Sprint Goal must be finalized during Sprint Planning — it is the commitment of the Sprint Backlog and cannot be skipped.
