PSM III Practice Questions - Professional Scrum Master III Exam - PSM III Practice Questions

Question 1

A Scrum Team has been delivering Increments every Sprint for six months, but the Product Owner reports that stakeholders feel no tangible business value has been delivered. The Scrum Master observes that Done Increments are technically complete but address low-priority problems. What is the most important systemic issue the Scrum Master should address?

The Definition of Done is too lenient and needs stricter quality criteria The Product Owner is not effectively connecting Product Backlog ordering to the Product Goal and stakeholder value The Developers are not attending Sprint Reviews, so stakeholder feedback is not reaching the team The team velocity is too low to deliver meaningful outcomes within the current Sprint length

Correct Answer:

The Product Owner is not effectively connecting Product Backlog ordering to the Product Goal and stakeholder value

Question 2

During a Sprint Retrospective, the team consistently identifies the same impediments — lack of testing environments and long approval gates — without resolving them. Three Retrospectives have passed with no improvement. What is the Scrum Master's highest-leverage action?

Facilitate a root-cause analysis during the Retrospective to identify why previous improvement actions failed to stick Escalate the impediments directly to senior management on behalf of the team Move the impediments from the Retrospective to the Sprint Backlog so they have assigned owners Shorten the Retrospective timebox to create urgency around fewer, more actionable improvements

Correct Answer:

Facilitate a root-cause analysis during the Retrospective to identify why previous improvement actions failed to stick

Question 3

A VP of Engineering tells the Scrum Master that she wants to attend every Daily Scrum to 'stay informed' and 'provide guidance.' The Developers are visibly uncomfortable with this proposal. What should the Scrum Master do?

Welcome the VP as an observer since transparency is a Scrum pillar and all stakeholders should be informed Explain to the VP that the Daily Scrum is for Developers only, and offer alternative ways for her to stay informed without disrupting the team's self-management Ask the Developers to vote on whether to allow the VP to attend Allow the VP to attend but ask her to remain silent during the event

Correct Answer:

Explain to the VP that the Daily Scrum is for Developers only, and offer alternative ways for her to stay informed without disrupting the team's self-management

Question 4

An organization running five Scrum Teams on the same product finds that each team defines 'Done' differently, resulting in integration failures at the end of each Sprint. Teams are resistant to a unified Definition of Done because they feel it will slow them down. How should the Scrum Master approach this?

Allow each team to maintain its own Definition of Done as long as they integrate successfully before release Mandate a single Definition of Done from the top, since consistency is more important than team preference Facilitate a cross-team working session to collaboratively create a shared Definition of Done, making the cost of inconsistency visible and letting teams co-own the result Adopt the most lenient existing Definition of Done as the baseline to minimize initial friction

Correct Answer:

Facilitate a cross-team working session to collaboratively create a shared Definition of Done, making the cost of inconsistency visible and letting teams co-own the result

Question 5

A Scrum Master is coaching an organization that has recently adopted Scrum. The CTO insists that all architectural decisions must be approved by a central Architecture Review Board before any Sprint work begins on a feature. This approval process takes 3–4 weeks. What is the best approach for the Scrum Master?

Accept the ARB process as a legitimate organizational governance gate and plan Sprints around it Remove the ARB process since it is an impediment to empiricism and Sprint flow Coach the CTO and ARB on the negative impact of batch approval on empiricism and flow, and propose an embedded or concurrent architectural review approach that preserves oversight while enabling Sprint cadence Ask the Developers to make smaller architectural decisions that stay below the ARB approval threshold

Correct Answer:

Coach the CTO and ARB on the negative impact of batch approval on empiricism and flow, and propose an embedded or concurrent architectural review approach that preserves oversight while enabling Sprint cadence
