EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation — Question 13

Who is accountable for a task that is assigned to a single Team member?

Answer options

• A. The Product Owner
• B. The Scrum Master
• C. The Development Team
• D. The single Team member

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the Development Team collectively holds responsibility for the completion of tasks, even when they are assigned to individual members. While the single Team member (D) is tasked with executing the work, the accountability lies with the entire Development Team, not just the individual. The roles of the Product Owner (A) and Scrum Master (B) involve oversight and facilitation rather than direct accountability for task completion.
