Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 68

Every Scrum Team must have a Product Owner and Scrum Master. (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the roles of Product Owner and Scrum Master are fundamental to the Scrum framework, ensuring effective collaboration and delivery. Options B and C undermine the necessity of these roles, suggesting alternatives that are not aligned with Scrum principles. Option D, while emphasizing dedication, does not capture the essence of the required presence of both roles.
