Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 21

The Daily Scrum is an event that happens every day. What would be three key concerns if the frequency were to be lowered to every two or three days? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Opportunities to inspect and adapt the Sprint Backlog are lost.
• B. Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly.
• C. The Product Owner cannot accurately report progress to the stakeholders.
• D. Too much work is spent updating the Scrum board before the meeting.
• E. The Scrum Master loses the ability to update the Gantt chart properly.
• F. The Sprint plan may become inaccurate.

Correct answer: A, B, F

Explanation

Choosing A, B, and F highlights the importance of regular inspection and adaptation in Scrum. If the Daily Scrum is less frequent, opportunities to adjust the Sprint Backlog are missed (A), impediments are not resolved quickly (B), and the Sprint plan may not reflect the current state of work (F). Options C, D, and E, while relevant, do not directly address the core concerns of reducing the frequency of the Daily Scrum.
