Question 1 A Scrum Team has no Product Goal and struggles to judge whether completed Increments are moving in a coherent direction. What is the main risk?

Answer choices

  1. A. The Scrum Master will have no basis for performing performance reviews on the Developers
  2. B. The team will be legally unable to hold a Sprint Review without a defined Product Goal
  3. C. The Developers will be unable to estimate their task hours during Sprint Planning
  4. D. The Scrum Team will lack a long-term, unifying focus, making it difficult to inspect progress and evaluate if their increments are coherent

Correct answer

The Scrum Team will lack a long-term, unifying focus, making it difficult to inspect progress and evaluate if their increments are coherent

The Product Goal provides a long-term objective that gives coherence to Product Backlog work. The Scrum Team will lack a long-term, unifying focus, making it difficult to inspect progress and evaluate if their increments are coherent is correct because the team needs a target for product progress. The risk is not legal, administrative, or about individual performance reviews.

Wrong-answer review

  • A. The Scrum Master will have no basis for performing performance reviews on the Developers: Scrum Master performance reviews are not the purpose of the Product Goal.
  • B. The team will be legally unable to hold a Sprint Review without a defined Product Goal: Scrum does not make Sprint Review legally impossible without a Product Goal.
  • C. The Developers will be unable to estimate their task hours during Sprint Planning: Task-hour estimation is not the core Product Goal concern.

Where to go after the daily web set

How are Scrum Master questions generated?

dotCreds builds Scrum Master practice questions from public exam objectives and Scrum exam and documentation references. The questions are written for realistic study practice, not copied from exam dumps.

How are explanations sourced?

Each question includes an explanation and, when available, a source link back to the provider documentation or reference used to validate the answer. That keeps the practice tied to study material you can actually review.

What score do I get?

The page tracks today's answered count and accuracy for the 10-question daily set, then saves a 7-day score history on this device so you can see your recent practice trend.

Why use this site?

The site is the fastest way to start Scrum Master practice without installing anything. It is built for daily recall, quick weak-topic discovery, and source-backed explanations you can review immediately.

Why use the app when available?

The web page is the quick daily practice layer. If a dotCreds app is available for Scrum Master, the app is better for larger banks, focused weak-domain drills, longer review sessions, and mobile study routines.
