Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 46

Which statement best describes the Sprint Review?

Answer options

• A. It is used to congratulate the Development Team if it did what it forecast, or to punish the Development Team if it failed to meet its forecast.
• B. It is a demo at the end of the Sprint for everyone in the organization to check on the work done.
• C. It is a mechanism to control the Development Team's activities during a Sprint.
• D. It is when the Scrum Team and stakeholders inspect the outcome of a Sprint and figure out what to do next.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the Sprint Review is specifically intended for the Scrum Team and stakeholders to evaluate the work completed and discuss future actions. Option A is incorrect as it implies punitive measures, which are not part of Scrum principles. Option B mischaracterizes the Sprint Review as a demonstration for everyone rather than a focused inspection and planning session. Option C incorrectly suggests that it controls the team, which contradicts the self-organizing nature of the Scrum Team.
