Question 155

What are three ways Scrum promotes self-management? (Choose three.)

    Correct Answer: A, B, D

    Scrum promotes self-management by allowing the Scrum Team to decide what work to do in a Sprint, which encourages autonomy and accountability within the team. Additionally, being a lightweight framework means that Scrum sets minimal constraints, allowing teams to adapt and manage their processes in a way that suits their needs best. Lastly, removing titles for Scrum Team members fosters a sense of equality and collective responsibility, as everyone contributes equally to the team's goals.

A and D are probably correct. Tough choice between B and C though: Point for C: By having the Scrum Master protect the Scrum Team from interruptions: This option highlights the role of the Scrum Master in shielding the team from external distractions or disruptions that could impede their focus and productivity. By doing so, team members are better able to manage their own work without unnecessary interruptions. B: By being lightweight, the framework isn't dictating, which helps self-management. I would also go for ABD, but will vote ACD for future discussions on this questions :) Relevant Reddit post can be found when searching the question. Scrum Guide 2020: They are also self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how.

Point against C: I'd say not A because it's a state of infantilizing the developers. They should be able to handle themselves. If a scrum master has to do it, it should be seen as a transitory measure. Against B: it not directly supporting self-management Relevant Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/scrum/comments/10sjfih/whats_your_take_on_what_are_three_ways_scrum/?rdt=59790
