During a Sprint Retrospective, the Developers propose moving the Daily Scrum to only occur
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Which two are the most appropriate responses for the Scrum
Master to recommend?
(choose the best two answers)
True or False: The purpose of a Sprint is to produce a valuable, useful Increment.
Answer : A
The purpose of a Sprint is to produce a valuable, useful Increment that meets the Sprint Goal and the Definition of Done1.An Increment is a concrete step toward achieving the Product Goal and is the primary measure of progress in Scrum2. The Increment must be usable and potentially releasable, meaning that it meets the quality standards set by the Scrum Team and the stakeholders[3][3].

A new Developer is having continuing conflicts with existing members of the Scrum Team,
which is impacting the delivery of the Increment. If necessary, who is responsible for removing
the Developer from the Scrum Team?
(choose the best answer)
Answer : B
The Scrum Team is a self-managing unit that organizes its own work and delivers a valuable product1.The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers2. The Scrum Team is accountable for creating a valuable, useful Increment every Sprint[3][3]. If a Developer is having conflicts with other team members that affect the delivery of the Increment, the Scrum Team is responsible for resolving the issue and deciding whether to remove the Developer from the team or not.The Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the hiring manager do not have the authority to remove a Developer from the Scrum Team, as this would violate the principle of self-management4.

True or False: A Scrum Master fulfills the same role as a traditional Project Manager.
Answer : B
A Scrum Master does not fulfill the same role as a traditional Project Manager.A Project Manager is typically responsible for planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing a project, as well as managing the scope, schedule, budget, quality, risks, and stakeholders of the project1.A Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Scrum Team, who helps the team understand and enact Scrum values, principles, and practices, and removes impediments to the team's progress2. A Scrum Master does not manage the project, the scope, the schedule, the budget, or the team, as these are either shared responsibilities or emergent outcomes of the Scrum framework[3][3].A Scrum Master also does not have authority over the team or the stakeholders, but rather facilitates collaboration and empowerment among them4.

True or False: Multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product must have the same Sprint
start date.
Answer : B
Multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product do not have to have the same Sprint start date.The Scrum Guide does not prescribe any synchronization of Sprints across multiple teams1.However, it is recommended that the teams align their Sprint cadence and duration, and coordinate their dependencies and integration through a shared Product Backlog, a common Definition of Done, and frequent communication2. This way, the teams can deliver a coherent and valuable product Increment every Sprint[3][3].
