Sample questions and answers for the Scrum Master Test

Question 1: In your Scrum team, there is a persistent issue where team members frequently bypass the Definition of Done to complete user stories quickly. This results in technical debt and lower product quality. The team argues that this is necessary to meet the Sprint goals. As a Scrum Master, how would you address this issue and maintain high product quality?

Options:

A. Advise the team to continue bypassing the Definition of Done as it helps achieve Sprint goals.   

B. Suggest that the team strictly adhere to the Definition of Done, even if it means not completing some user stories within the Sprint.   

C. Allow the team to decide on the Definition of Done for each user story, giving them flexibility.   

D. Propose extending Sprint durations to accommodate quality and quantity of work.   

Answer: B

Question 2: The Scrum team needs help with communication and collaboration. Team members often work in silos, and there is a noticeable lack of cross-functional cooperation. Promoting a culture of openness and transparency could significantly improve the situation. What steps can you take to create a transparent and honest culture within the team?

Options:

A. Implement strict reporting requirements for all team members to ensure transparency in daily work.

B. Organize a team-building workshop to encourage collaboration and communication among team members.   

C. Hold individual meetings with each team member to identify the source of the communication issues.   

D. Facilitate regular team retrospectives where team members can openly discuss challenges and suggest improvements.   

Answer: D

Question 3: In a Scrum project, you've noticed that team members frequently exceed their Sprint capacity, leading to a consistent backlog of unfinished work. You suspect that this overcommitment is causing burnout among team members. What would you do to improve the team's performance? 

Options:

A. Communicate the team's concerns to the product owner and suggest reducing the Sprint scope to match the team's capacity.   

B. Facilitate a discussion within the team about setting realistic Sprint goals and negotiate to refine the Sprint backlog with the product owner.
