Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 47

Which two scenarios would best represent a self-organizing Development Team? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The Development Team members are strictly focused on the work within their functional role and always handing off the work to other roles in a timely matter.
• B. Management works with the Scrum Master to optimize the Development Team's progress during the Sprint.
• C. Development Team members collaboratively select and re-plan their work throughout the Sprint.
• D. The Development Team invites external people to the Sprint Planning to help them create a complete and detailed Sprint Backlog.
• E. The Development Team creates its own Sprint Backlog, reflecting all work that is part of the Definition of Done.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Options C and E correctly depict a self-organizing Development Team as they emphasize collaboration and ownership over their work. Option A suggests a lack of collaboration and dependence on role boundaries, while option B implies that management is driving progress rather than the team itself. Option D indicates reliance on external input, which contradicts the self-organizing principle.
