Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 134

Which two things are appropriate for a Scrum Master to do if the Scrum Team doesn't have the tools and environment to completely finish each selected Product
Backlog item? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Coach the ScrumTeam to improve its skills, tools, and infrastructure over time and adjust the Definition of ג€Doneג€ accordingly.
• B. Encourage the Product Owner to accept partially ג€Doneג€ increments until the situation improves.
• C. Refocus the current Sprint on establishing the Scrum Team's environment instead of delivering an Increment.
• D. Declare the Scrum Team not ready for Scrum.
• E. Have the Scrum Team establish a Definition of ג€Doneג€ that is actually possible to achieve given current circumstances.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct actions for a Scrum Master are to coach the team to improve over time (A) and to establish a realistic Definition of 'Done' (E) that reflects the current capabilities. Encouraging acceptance of incomplete work (B) undermines the Scrum framework, while refocusing the Sprint (C) detracts from delivering value. Declaring the team unready for Scrum (D) does not help them progress.
