Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 166

Five new Scrum Teams have been created to build one product. A few of the developers on one of the Scrum Teams ask the Scrum Master how to coordinate their work with the order teams. What should the Scrum Master do?

Answer options

• A. Teach the Product Owner to work with the lead developers on ordering Product Backlog in a way to avoid too much technical and development overlap during a Sprint.
• B. Teach them that it is their responsibility to work with the other teams to create an integrated Increment that is inclusive of all five team's work.
• C. Collect the Sprint tasks from the teams at the end of their Sprint Planning and merge that into a consolidated plan for the entire Sprint.
• D. Visit the five teams each day to inspect that their Sprint Backlogs are aligned.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, emphasizes the collaborative responsibility of the teams to ensure that their outputs are integrated, which is a core principle of Scrum. Options A and C misplace the responsibility on the Product Owner and the Scrum Master, respectively, instead of the teams themselves. Option D suggests daily oversight, which is not the Scrum Master's role in facilitating team coordination.
