Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 70

You are the new Scrum Master at a company currently doing RUP in three month iterations. Your current task in switching from RUP to Scrum is to define how long the Sprint cycle should be. In what units of time should you define the sprint cycle?

Answer options

• A. A fixed amount of months
• B. A fixed amount of weeks, excluding holidays
• C. A fixed amount of days
• D. A fixed amount of hours

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Sprints in Scrum are typically defined in days to allow for frequent delivery of increments. Options A and B are inappropriate because they suggest longer durations that do not align with Scrum's principles of short, iterative cycles. Option D is too short and impractical for a Sprint cycle.
