Example Scrum Master (CSM) flashcards
What is the primary role of a Scrum Master?
The Scrum Master is a servant-leader who helps the Scrum Team and organization understand and enact Scrum. They remove impediments, facilitate events, and coach the team on self-organization and cross-functionality.
What are the three Scrum roles?
Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team. Each has distinct accountabilities in the Scrum framework.
Who is accountable for maximizing the value of the product and managing the Product Backlog?
The Product Owner is solely accountable for Product Backlog management, including its content, availability, and ordering.
What is a Sprint?
A Sprint is a fixed time-box of one month or less during which the Scrum Team creates a potentially releasable Increment of product and completes the Sprint Goal.
Name the four Scrum events and their time-boxes for a two-week Sprint.
Sprint Planning (4 hours), Daily Standup (15 minutes), Sprint Review (2 hours), and Sprint Retrospective (1.5 hours). The entire Sprint is time-boxed to two weeks.
What is the purpose of the Daily Standup?
The Daily Standup is a 15-minute event for the Development Team to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours. It is not a status report to the Scrum Master.
What is an Increment?
An Increment is the sum of all Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and all previous Sprints. It must be in a potentially releasable state at the end of every Sprint.
What does 'Definition of Done' mean in Scrum?
The Definition of Done is a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete. It is a checklist of criteria that Product Backlog items must meet to be considered finished.
How should a Scrum Master handle a Development Team member who is consistently absent from Daily Standups?
The Scrum Master should coach the team member and the team on the importance of the Daily Standup for self-organization and plan adjustment. The Scrum Master facilitates but does not enforce attendance; the team owns accountability.
What is the relationship between Scrum Master and manager in an organization implementing Scrum?
The Scrum Master is a servant-leader role focused on Scrum adoption and team effectiveness. A manager may exist but has no authority over the Scrum Team. The Scrum Master coaches management to interact appropriately with Scrum Teams.
