Question #: 1
Topic #: 1
A Product Owner wants advice from the Scrum Master about estimating work in Scrum. Which of these is the guideline that a Scrum Master should give? (Choose the best answer.)
A.
Product Backlog items must be estimated in story points.
B.
Estimates are made by the people doing the work.
C.
Estimates must be in relative units.
D.
Scrum forbids estimating.
E.
Estimates are made by the Product Owner, but are best checked with the Development Team.
According to the Scrum Guide, estimates are made by the people doing the work, which is the Development Team. The Development Team is responsible for all estimates in the Product Backlog and the Sprint Backlog. The other options are not valid guidelines for estimating work in Scrum, as they are either too prescriptive (such as requiring story points or relative units), incorrect (such as forbidding estimating or having the Product Owner make estimates), or unnecessary (such as checking estimates with the Development Team).
