Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 8

When many Scrum Teams are working on the same product, should all of their Increments be integrated every Sprint?

Answer options

• A. Yes, but only for Scrum Teams whose work has dependencies.
• B. Yes, otherwise the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.
• C. No, each Scrum Team stands alone.
• D. No, that is far too hard and must be done in a hardening Sprint.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because integrating all Increments every Sprint allows Product Owners and stakeholders to get a clear view of the product's progress. This integration is essential for effective inspection and adaptation. Options A and C incorrectly suggest that integration is optional or not necessary, while D implies that integration can be delayed, which contradicts Scrum principles.
