Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-II exam

Question #: 62
Topic #: 2

You have just been hired as a Scrum Master by a company new to Scrum. The company wants to use Scrum to build a new product that was conceived by the product management department. You will be the Scrum Master of two new teams that will build a first version of the product. The product management department assigns two new Product Owners, but wants more advice about the required participation with the new Scrum Teams. Which two suggestions would you offer?

(choose the best two answers)

AHaving one Product Owner will improve the clarity of accountability to the teams and to the product management department.

BTwo Product Owners are necessary, one for each Scrum Team. They report to an overarching chief Product Owner.

CEach Scrum Team has a separate Product Backlog, holding each team's assigned requirements.

DA single Product Backlog should be maintained holding all requirements for the new product.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When multiple Scrum Teams work from the same Product Backlog, they need to collaborate and coordinate their work to deliver a potentially releasable Increment that meets the Definition of Done. This requires minimizing dependencies between Scrum Teams, such as technical, functional, or organizational dependencies. Dependencies can cause delays, rework, waste, and lower quality.Scrum Teams should strive to be cross-functional and autonomous, and use techniques such as feature slicing, dependency mapping, and integration testing to reduce dependencies123.Reference:1: https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/dependencies-between-scrum-teams2: https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/feature-slicing-how-make-it-work3: https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/integration-testing-scrum-projects

This is like choosing between a one-legged race and a three-legged race - either way, somebody's gonna trip! I'll go with B and D, just to be on the safe side.

Definitely, having a single Product Backlog for all requirements will ensure transparency and alignment across both teams.

I agree, it can get confusing if there's only one Product Owner trying to manage all the requirements for both teams.

I think having two Product Owners makes sense, it will help each team stay focused on their specific requirements.

One Product Owner? That's like asking a chef to do the waiter's job too. B is the only way to keep things organized and accountable.

Hmm, single Product Backlog seems simpler, but I don't want any communication breakdowns between the teams. I'll go with B and D to be safe.

D sounds like a good idea, but having separate backlogs could help the teams stay focused on their specific tasks. Tough call, but I'll go with B and D.
