Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 20

At the seventh Sprint Review, the stakeholders are disappointed and angry. They have determined that the product or system being built will not meet their needs and will cost more than they are willing to spend. What factors likely led to this? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The Project Management Office (PMO) has not been engaged adequately.
• B. The Product Owner has not been keeping the stakeholders aware of the progress of the project.
• C. The stakeholders haven't been using the Sprint Reviews to inspect and evaluate progress.
• D. The stakeholders were not allowed to enter the development area.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers, B and C, highlight the importance of communication and engagement in the project. If the Product Owner does not keep stakeholders informed, they may lose trust and oversight, leading to unmet expectations. Additionally, if stakeholders do not actively participate in Sprint Reviews, they miss opportunities to provide feedback, which can result in misaligned project goals.
