Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 77

Which of the following statements are true about the Scrum Master role?

Answer options

• A. The Scrum Master assigns the tasks to Development Team members and ensures they are completed within the committed timebox.
• B. The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum Team understand which interactions are helpful and teaches the Development Team to keep the Scrum meetings within the timebox.
• C. The Scrum Master is responsible for updating the Scrum board and ensuring team members avoid conflicts.
• D. At the Sprint Review, the Scrum Master demonstrates the completed Increment and answers any questions from the stakeholders.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because the Scrum Master facilitates communication and ensures that the Development Team adheres to the time constraints of Scrum meetings. Option A is incorrect as the Scrum Master does not assign tasks; this is the role of the Development Team. Option C is not accurate since updating the Scrum board is typically a responsibility of the Development Team, and managing conflicts is a shared responsibility within the team. Option D is also incorrect as the Development Team is primarily responsible for demonstrating the Increment, not the Scrum Master.
