Q1. According to the Scrum Guide, Scrum is founded on which two underlying philosophies?
  • A.  Empiricism and lean thinking
  • B.  Waterfall and Six Sigma
  • C.  Empiricism and predictive planning
  • D.  Agile manifesto and Kanban
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A. Empiricism and lean thinking
The Scrum Guide states Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism asserts knowledge comes from experience, and lean thinking reduces waste and focuses on essentials. Waterfall and predictive planning are the opposite of what Scrum relies on.
Q2. A stakeholder wants a specific feature built next Sprint and approaches a Developer directly, bypassing the Product Backlog. What does the Scrum Guide say should happen?
  • A.  The Developers should add the feature to the Sprint Backlog immediately
  • B.  The Scrum Master should approve or reject the feature
  • C.  The Developers should direct the stakeholder to the Product Owner, who manages Product Backlog content and order
  • D.  The stakeholder should raise it at the next Sprint Review only
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. The Developers should direct the stakeholder to the Product Owner, who manages Product Backlog content and order
The Product Owner alone is accountable for Product Backlog management, including what goes into it and its order, so all such requests should be channelled through the Product Owner. Developers acting on side requests outside the Product Backlog undermines a single source of prioritised work.
Q3. A Scrum Master notices the Developers have stopped holding a structured three-questions format for their Daily Scrum and instead just talk freely about the plan for the day. What should the Scrum Master do?
  • A.  Insist the three-questions format is restored immediately, since it is mandated by the Scrum Guide
  • B.  Cancel the Daily Scrum until the team agrees to follow the original format
  • C.  Escalate to the Product Owner to enforce a single approved structure
  • D.  Allow it, since the Scrum Guide only requires the event to focus on progress toward the Sprint Goal, not a specific format
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. Allow it, since the Scrum Guide only requires the event to focus on progress toward the Sprint Goal, not a specific format
The Scrum Guide describes one example structure (three questions) but explicitly allows teams to choose whatever structure works, as long as the event focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal and produces an actionable plan. The Scrum Master should coach the team, not force a specific format.
