Scrum Master Certified (SMC) — Question 18

Which of the following statements about non-core Scrum roles is correct?

Answer options

• A. Non-core roles are mandatorily required for the Scrum project to be successful.
• B. Non-core roles are supportive roles indirectly responsible for the success or failure of the project.
• C. Non-core roles are involved with the project, but do not have any interest in the project.
• D. Non-core roles have a formal stature on the project team and are continuously involved in the Scrum process.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because non-core roles are not strictly necessary for a Scrum project's success; they provide support rather than being mandatory. Options B, C, and D misrepresent the nature of non-core roles, as they do not imply a formal requirement or direct accountability for project success.
