Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 32

What would likely happen if management only changed the organization's current terminology to fit Scrum without the proper understanding and support of Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide?

Answer options

• A. Very little change will happen as the vocabulary in Scrum is specifically defined for implementing Scrum.
• B. The organization may not realize the real benefits of Scrum as there would be no real change on the way the teams work.
• C. Organizations may feel less stressed as the behaviors would remain familiar to management.
• D. All answers apply.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because all listed scenarios highlight the negative consequences of improperly adopting Scrum terminology without genuine understanding or application. Simply changing terminology does not lead to effective implementation, and without real changes, the benefits of Scrum cannot be realized.
