Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 41

If two Scrum Teams are added to the development of a product that previously had only one Scrum Team, what will be the immediate impact on the productivity of the original Scrum Team? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. Its productivity is likely to decrease.
• B. Its productivity is likely to stay the same.
• C. Its productivity is likely to increase.
• D. We do not know until a Sprint has run.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The introduction of two additional Scrum Teams can lead to increased communication overhead and potential conflicts, which may distract the original team and reduce their efficiency, resulting in a likely decrease in productivity. The other options suggest no change or an increase in productivity, which does not consider the complexities that arise from scaling the teams and the potential for disruption.
