conclusion of the previous Sprint.

The Sprint Retrospective concludes the Sprint, and is timeboxed to a maximum of three
hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter

Though not typical, a Sprint can end if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. Only the
Product Owner has the authority to end the Sprint prematurely.

rule that only Developers participate in the Daily Scrum.

(choose the best answer)

A. At the Sprint Planning event.

B. During the Daily Scrum.

C. Never. All Sprint Backlog items are "owned" by the Developers on the Scrum

Developers throughout the Sprint as more is learned.

useful Increment.

Question 28 of 30

What are three incorrect, untrue, or misleading statements about Scrum?

(choose the best three answers)

A. Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential

B. Scrum is a framework that eliminates complexity.

C. Scrum is a methodology where you can pick and choose which parts of
Scrum you think will work for your environment.

D. Scrum is like traditional processes but with self-organization to replace

E. Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking.

F. Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products.

Feedback
1. Scrum is meant to be implemented as prescribed in the Scrum Guide.
For example, the five events in the Scrum Guide are mandatory, each
event has a specific purpose.
2. Scrum does not eliminate the complexity that is inherent in delivering a
product in today’s world, instead it offers a framework for dealing with
complexity. By regularly delivering Increments of value teams gain the
ability to inspect and rapidly adapt based on the feedback received.
3. Project Managers are not simply replaced by self-managing teams.
Scrum is a framework for optimizing decision making based on the
knowledge and experience of the entire team.
