PRINCE2 Agile Foundation — Question 23

Which describes the Scrum Master role in Scrum?

Answer options

• A. It is authorized to run the project on a day-to-day basis on behalf of the project board
• B. It is responsible for ensuring that product backlog items are clearly expressed on the product backlog
• C. It is empowered to organize and manage its own work to create a valuable, useful increment every sprint
• D. It is servant-leadership to help everyone change their interactions to maximize the value created by the team

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the Scrum Master facilitates teamwork and encourages a culture of collaboration to maximize value creation. Options A and C misrepresent the Scrum Master's role as they imply authority and management, which contradicts the servant-leadership concept. Option B focuses on backlog clarity but does not capture the broader leadership and facilitation role of the Scrum Master.
