Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 49

How often should Scrum Team membership change?

Answer options

• A. As needed, while taking into account a short term reduction in productivity.
• B. Never, because it reduces productivity.
• C. As needed, with no special allowance for changes in productivity.
• D. Every Sprint to promote shared learning.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because changes in team membership should be made as necessary, but it's important to recognize that this may lead to a temporary decline in productivity. Option B is incorrect as it suggests that membership should never change, which isn't practical. Option C fails to consider the impact on productivity, and option D is misleading as changing team members every Sprint is not a standard practice in Scrum.
