Question

Which of the following is NOT part of the Scrum Framework?

Options

  • ATransparency, Inspection, and Adaption
  • BTransparency, Inspection, and Empiricism
  • CTransparency, Acceptance and Adaptation
  • DRetrospectives, Inspection, and Adaptation

Explanation

The three official pillars of Scrum, as defined in the Scrum Guide, are Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation - not 'Adaption.' While this appears to be a spelling distinction, the official terminology matters in certification exams. Option B lists Empiricism, which IS a foundational principle of Scrum (Scrum is grounded in empirical process theory). Option C introduces 'Acceptance,' which is not a Scrum pillar. Option D mixes Retrospectives (a Scrum event) with pillars. The key takeaway: only 'Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation' (correctly spelled) represent the three pillars.
