Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 14

Which two statements are the most accurate in regards to scaling Scrum for large projects requiring multiple Scrum Teams? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. A person focusing on the Sprint Backlog of a single Scrum Team is often more productive than that same person working on multiple Scrum Teams at the same time.
• B. A well-structured Product Backlog can minimize and often eliminate Development Team members working on multiple Scrum Teams during a Sprint.
• C. Team members must work full time on a single Scrum Team.
• D. Customizing the core Scrum framework is necessary to be successful with Scrum at large scale.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because focusing on a single Scrum Team allows for greater efficiency and productivity compared to juggling multiple teams. Option B is also correct as a well-structured Product Backlog helps streamline responsibilities and can prevent team members from spreading themselves too thin across different Scrum Teams. Options C and D are incorrect; while full-time commitment is ideal, it's not an absolute requirement, and customizing the framework is not always necessary for scaling successfully.
