Scrum Master Certified (SMC) — Question 56

Suppose you are a Scrum Master or a Scrum Team that is progressing through Tuckman's model of Group Dynamics. In which of the following stages will you be most actively involved?

Answer options

• A. Forming
• B. Storming
• C. Norming
• D. Performing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Forming, as this is the initial stage where team members are coming together and establishing roles, requiring significant guidance. In the Storming stage (B), conflicts may arise that need resolution, but the Scrum Master’s role shifts to facilitating rather than direct involvement. Norming (C) and Performing (D) stages reflect a more autonomous team dynamic where the Scrum Master’s involvement is less hands-on.
