Pass the GAQM GAQM: Scrum / Agile CASPO-001 Questions and answers with CertsForce

The Product Backlog is under the Product Owner’s control and can be updated anytime. TheScrum Guidestates: "The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management," implying ongoing adjustments as needed.

A:Limiting updates to Sprint Review contradicts its emergent nature.

B:Refinement is a key activity, but updates aren’t restricted to it.

C:A "change request" process isn’t in Scrum.

TheScrum Guideclarifies that the definition of "Done" is a shared commitment created by the Scrum Team: "The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product." While the Product Owner defines what goes into the Increment (via the Product Backlog), the definition of "Done" is a collaborative effort, often driven by the Developers’ technical expertise and organizational standards, with input from the Product Owner on value and quality expectations. Option A incorrectly gives the Product Owner sole authority, while B correctly reflects the team’s collective responsibility, with the Product Owner as a contributor, not the final arbiter.

Self-organization in Scrum means the Developers have autonomy over how they deliver the Sprint Goal. TheScrum Guidestates: "The Developers... are self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how." Option A aligns with this—choosing how to accomplish work is their domain. Option B is incorrect; the Product Owner orders the Product Backlog. Option C is wrong; the Product Owner invites stakeholders to the Sprint Review. Option D is partially true—Sprint length is set by the Scrum Team collaboratively, not just the Developers, and is typically fixed once established. Option E is false; release decisions are the Product Owner’s responsibility. Thus, A is the best answer.

Scrum defines three roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers. TheScrum Guidestates: "The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers." Project Manager (C) is a traditional role absent in Scrum, where responsibilities are distributed among the Scrum Team.

A, B, D:These are explicit Scrum roles.
