PSM-I Question #276: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A Scrum Master is introducing Scrum to a new Team. The Team has decided that a Sprint Retrospective is unnecessary. What action should the Scrum Master take? (Choose the best answer)

Options

• AComply with the decision of the self-managing team.
• BBegin facilitating productive and useful Sprint Retrospectives.
• CCall a meeting between the ScrumTeam and senior management
• DConsult with the Product Owner to see how they feel about the situation.

Explanation

According to the Scrum Guide, the action that the Scrum Master should take when the Team decides that a Sprint Retrospective is unnecessary is to begin facilitating productive and useful Sprint Retrospectives. The Sprint Retrospective is an essential event for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint. The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that this event takes place and that positive outcomes are achieved. The other options are not valid actions, as they either imply that the Scrum Master complies with or ignores the decision of the Team (such as complying with it, calling a meeting with senior management, or consulting with the Product Owner), which is not consistent with Scrum values and principles.
