Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 85

What is the main reason for the Scrum Master to be at the Daily Scrum?

Answer options

• A. To gather status and progress information to report to management.
• B. To write down any changes to the Sprint Backlog, including adding new items, and tracking progress on the burn-down.
• C. They do not have to be there; they only need to ensure the Development Team has a Daily Scrum.
• D. To make sure every team member answers the three questions.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Scrum Master does not need to attend the Daily Scrum; their role is to facilitate the process and ensure the team follows Scrum practices. Options A and B imply that the Scrum Master is responsible for collecting information and managing the backlog, which is not their role during this event. Option D suggests the Scrum Master must enforce participation, which contradicts the collaborative nature of Scrum.
