Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 187

Self-management is more effective when it happens within boundaries.

Select two relevant boundaries for self-management provided by the Scrum framework. (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Timeboxing work to allow for frequent inspection.
• B. Creating a valuable and useful Increment by the end of each Sprint.
• C. Having an even number of members in a Scrum Team to be able to do pair programming and be more productive.
• D. Clearly defining sub-responsibilities and handovers within the Scrum Team.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers, A and B, highlight the importance of timeboxing and producing increments, which are core components of the Scrum framework that promote effective self-management. Options C and D do not align with Scrum principles as having an even number of team members is not a requirement, and defining sub-responsibilities can limit the collaborative nature of Scrum teams.
