Which two of the following are true about the Scrum Master role?

  1. It’s a management position
  2. Helps those outside the team interact with the Scrum Team
  3. Identifies what has been done prior to the Sprint Review meeting
  4. Assigns tasks to the developers
  5. Is responsible for updating the burn-down chart

Solution :

  1. It’s a management position
  2. Helps those outside the team interact with the Scrum Team

. The Scrum Master does not manage people, but, manages the process. That’s why it’s considered a management role by Scrum.org.

. The role can be part-time.

. The Development Team is self-organized; it’s the responsibility of the developers to handle the assignments and measures the performance of the Sprints.

. It is the Product Owner’s responsibility to identify what has been done before the Sprint Review.

Facilitation (as requested or needed), removing impediments and solving problems, training, coaching, consulting, and convincing people to do theright thing are the things we expect from the Scrum Master.

S/he is not supposed to block the team’s self-organization by giving developers orders, or deciding for them, and s/he is not supposed to do other people’s jobs (e.g. ordering the items instead of letting the Product Owner do so).
