Scrum Event

Correct Answer: Ensure a discussion for resolution takes place after the Daily Scrum.

In Scrum, the Daily Scrum is a time-boxed event for the Development Team to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours. When a team member reports a significant impediment, the Scrum Master's role is not to immediately jump into solution mode but to facilitate the team's progress towards its goals. The best course of action is to ensure that a discussion for resolution of the impediment takes place outside the Daily Scrum. This keeps the meeting focused and within its time box, while also ensuring the impediment is addressed appropriately. Immediate action to remove the impediment could disrupt the flow of the meeting and may not allow for full team input. Advising the team member to solve the impediment independently could overlook the collaborative and self-managing nature of Scrum teams. Scheduling a separate meeting with the Product Owner may be unnecessary at this stage and does not prioritize addressing the impediment directly with the team or relevant stakeholders first.

Correct Answer: To inspect the increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed

The primary purpose of the Sprint Review in Scrum is to inspect the increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed. During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders collaborate to review what was accomplished in the Sprint and discuss potential changes to the Product Backlog based on the feedback and insights gained. The Sprint Review focuses on the product and the progress made towards the product goal. Reviewing the team's performance and identifying areas for improvement is the purpose of the Sprint Retrospective, not the Sprint Review. Demonstrating the completed work to stakeholders and gathering their feedback is part of the Sprint Review, but it's not the primary purpose. The Sprint Review is not focused on assessing the team's progress towards the Sprint Goal and making adjustments to the Sprint Backlog; that is handled in the Daily Scrum and Sprint Planning meetings.

Correct Answer: Identifying improvements for the next Sprint based on the previous Sprint's experiences

The primary focus of the Sprint Retrospective in Scrum is identifying improvements for the next Sprint based on the experiences and learnings from the previous Sprint. The Scrum Team reflects on what went well, what could be improved, and creates a plan for implementing those improvements in the upcoming Sprint. Reviewing the product increment with stakeholders is typically done in the Sprint Review, not the Sprint Retrospective. Planning user stories and tasks for the next Sprint is part of Sprint Planning. While discussing and resolving impediments faced by the Development Team is important, it is not the primary focus of the Sprint Retrospective, which is more focused on the overall process and continuous improvement.
