PSM II Exam - Question 43


Steven is a Scrum Master of a Scrum Team that is new to Scrum. At the halfway point of the Sprint, the Product Owner comes to Steven telling him that he is concerned the Development Team will not be able to complete the entire Sprint Backlog by the end of the Sprint.

What should Steven do in this situation?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

In Scrum, the Product Owner must understand that software development is inherently complex and unpredictable. The Development Team cannot guarantee to complete the entire Sprint Backlog since new tasks may emerge as they learn more about the work required. The Scrum Master should coach the Product Owner to embrace this uncertainty and understand that the Sprint Backlog is a forecast, not a commitment. It is more important to focus on achieving the Sprint Goal rather than completing all tasks in the initial Sprint Backlog.
