EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation — Question 53

Why is the “Time & means or fixed unit” contract type of contract preferred in Scrum?

Answer options

• A. This contract type is predictive.
• B. This contract type is adaptive.
• C. The contract type defines the scope upfront.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The 'Time & means or fixed unit' contract is preferred in Scrum because it is adaptive, allowing teams to respond to changing requirements and priorities. In contrast, a predictive contract (Option A) does not accommodate changes easily, and defining the scope upfront (Option C) contradicts the agile principle of embracing change throughout the project.
