The Scrum Mastery Challenge - Quiz #4

Every Tuesday we'll give you three challenging Scrum Mastery questions. The following week I will share the answers with you in a new blog post, or you can get the answers by adding your email to my mailing list in the Contacts section at the bottom of the page.

If you are feeling courageous, add your answers in the comment section of this blog.

My advice is to read each question thoroughly, and time-box each question to four minutes. To challenge yourself, keep the Scrum Guide and other browser windows closed. Have fun with the quiz, I hope this helps you learn and to be a better Scrum Master!

Anyone have a perfect score so far? If you struggle with this week's quiz, re-read the Scrum Guide.
