Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 56

Every Scrum Team must have a Product Owner and Scrum Master.

Answer options

• A. True. Outcomes affected by their participation and availability.
• B. False. A Product Owner can be replaced by a business analyst in the Development Team.
• C. False. A Scrum Master is only required when asked for by the Development Team.
• D. True. Each must be 100% dedicated to the Scrum Team.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because both the Product Owner and Scrum Master play crucial roles in ensuring the Scrum process is followed and effective. Options B and C are incorrect as they suggest that either role can be substituted or is not necessary, undermining the framework of Scrum. Option D, while true in spirit, does not accurately reflect the necessity of both roles being present.
