Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 177

Which statement best describes Scrum?

Answer options

• A. A defined and predictive process that conforms to the principles of Scientific Management.
• B. A complete methodology that defines how to develop software.
• C. A cookbook that defines best practices for software development.
• D. A framework within which complex products in complex environments are developed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, accurately reflects Scrum as a framework that provides structure for teams to work within complex product development scenarios. The other options misrepresent Scrum; A implies rigidity, B suggests it is a complete methodology, and C indicates it's merely a set of best practices, all of which do not capture the essence of Scrum.
