CSM Exam Dumps : Certified ScrumMaster Exam

The correct statement is:An Increment must be in a usable condition and meet the Definition of Done. Each Increment builds upon previous Increments and must be complete, usable, and meet the agreed-uponDefinition of Doneso it can be inspected during the Sprint Review. Whether or not the Increment is released is a separate decision made by the Product Owner.

According to the2020 Scrum Guide:

An Increment is the result of work done during a Sprint and must meet the Definition of Done.

The Increment isusable, even if the Product Owner decides not to release it.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. It must have all of the requirements that need to be in the product before the Product Owner will release it:Increments do not require all requirements to be complete before being usable or inspectable. Scrum is iterative, delivering value incrementally.

B. Is not releasable until the Product Owner determines it is done:The Product Owner does not determine whether the Increment is "done"; the team’s adherence to the Definitionof Done determines this.

D. Is not releasable until it has all of the features to be a Minimally Viable Product:Each Increment must meet the Definition of Done, regardless of whether it meets all features for an MVP.

TheDaily Scrumis a short, time-boxed event (15 minutes) where Developers inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt their plan for the day. It is not intended to solve problems or deep-dive into discussions. If a major technical issue is identified during the Daily Scrum, the team should note it and arrange to discuss and solve itoutside of the Daily Scrum.

According to the2020 Scrum Guide:

The Daily Scrum is focused on progress toward the Sprint Goal, and issues that require detailed discussion or resolution should be handled separately.

The Scrum Master may help facilitate these follow-up discussions if needed.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B. Interrupt the Daily Scrum and solve the problem immediately:The Daily Scrum is not a problem-solving session. Interrupting it for detailed discussions disrupts its purpose and timebox.

C. Escalate it to the Product Owner:Technical issues are typically handled by the Developers, not the Product Owner, who is responsible for managing the Product Backlog and ensuring value delivery.

D. Discuss it during the Sprint Review:Waiting until the Sprint Review to discuss atechnical issue would delay resolution and risk jeopardizing the Sprint Goal.

Facilitatingis the activity that seeks to build consensus in a group setting. In Scrum, the Scrum Master often acts as afacilitator, helping the team reach agreements during events such as Sprint Planning, Retrospectives, or backlog refinement sessions. Facilitators guide discussions neutrally, ensuring all voices are heard and helping the group align on decisions.

According to the2020 Scrum Guide, the Scrum Master:

Facilitates Scrum events as requested or needed.

Removes barriers to communication and fosters collaboration within the team.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Coaching:Coaching involves guiding individuals or teams to improve performance, but it is not specifically about building group consensus.

B. Teaching:Teaching focuses on imparting knowledge, not consensus-building.

C. Mentoring:Mentoring involves a one-on-one relationship where the mentor shares knowledge and experience, which is not a group activity.
