Which three of the following are true about Scrum? (choose the best three answers)

Question

Options

• AScrum implements self-management by replacing Project Managers with Scrum
• BScrum is based on empiricism and lean thinking.
• CScrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products.
• DScrum is a methodology where you can pick and choose which parts of Scrum
• EEach component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's

Explanation

Based on the Scrum Guide, the correct answers are B, C, and E.

B is correct because the Scrum Guide explicitly states that Scrum is "founded on empiricism and lean thinking" - empiricism meaning knowledge comes from experience, and lean thinking meaning reducing waste and focusing on essentials.

C is correct because the Scrum Guide defines Scrum as "a framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products" - this is nearly a direct quote.

E is correct (though truncated here) because the Scrum Guide states that each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's overall success and usage - nothing is optional.

A is wrong because Scrum does not "replace Project Managers with Scrum" - that's a category error. Scrum enables self-management through the Scrum Team's own accountability, not by substituting a role with a framework.

D is wrong because Scrum is explicitly a framework, not a methodology, and the Scrum Guide warns that omitting any element makes outcomes uncertain and deviates from Scrum - you cannot pick and choose parts.

Memory tip: Think "BIG 3" - Based on empiricism, It's a framework for complex products (C), and Gets its power from every component being essential (E). Any answer calling Scrum a "methodology" or saying you can cherry-pick it is automatically wrong.
