A 200 member project team is working on a large and complex system with multiple sub-systems. They would like to start using the Agile Scrum methodology. As a Scrum Master, what would your best…

Question

Options

• AScrum is not suited for such a large project.
• BAsk all potential members of the project team to have a meeting first and decide if they agree to
• CAgree a logical sub-division of the system so that smaller Scrum teams can work on sub- systems

• A
  10% (2)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  85% (17)

Explanation

Option C is correct because Scrum explicitly supports scaling through multiple coordinated teams - each sub-system can be owned by a dedicated Scrum team (typically 5–9 members), and the teams can synchronize via a "Scrum of Scrums" or similar scaled framework like SAFe or LeSS.

Why A is wrong: Scrum is not inherently limited by project size; it scales horizontally by decomposing the work into sub-systems with independent teams, rather than trying to run one giant Scrum team.

Why B is wrong: Consensus from all 200 members is not required to adopt Scrum - that approach is impractical and contradicts Scrum's principle that organizational change is led by leadership and Scrum Masters, not decided by majority vote.

Memory tip: Think "divide and conquer" - when Scrum meets a big project, the answer is always to subdivide the work and the teams, not to abandon Scrum or hold a 200-person committee meeting.
