What is the maximum length of the Sprint Retrospective for a one-month Sprint according to the Scrum Guide?
AThree hours
BNinety minutes
CSix hours
DFour hours
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. The 2020 Scrum Guide fixes the Sprint Retrospective's maximum at three hours for a one-month Sprint, distinct from the Sprint Review's four-hour maximum. Exact recall of each event's specific number is required, since the exam frequently swaps these figures as distractors.

A Scrum Team shortens its Sprint length from four weeks to one week to get faster feedback. According to the Scrum Guide (2020), how should the timebox for the Daily Scrum change?
AIt should be extended to allow more time for planning adjustments in a much shorter Sprint.
BIt remains 15 minutes; the Daily Scrum timebox does not scale with Sprint length.
CIt becomes optional, since one-week Sprints do not require daily inspection of progress.
DIt should be reduced proportionally, to roughly 4 minutes, since it is about one-eighth the length of the Sprint Planning maximum.
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. The Scrum Guide (2020) states the Daily Scrum is always timeboxed to 15 minutes for the Developers, regardless of Sprint length. Unlike Sprint Planning, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective — whose maximums are 'usually shorter' for Sprints shorter than one month — the Daily Scrum's 15-minute timebox does not scale.

According to the Scrum Guide (2020), what is the primary purpose of the Sprint Review?
ATo formally approve or reject the Increment before the Product Owner decides whether it can be released.
BTo inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations, with the Scrum Team presenting results to key stakeholders.
CTo finalize the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint before Sprint Planning begins.
DTo evaluate each Developer's individual contribution during the Sprint for performance purposes.
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. The Scrum Guide (2020) states the purpose of the Sprint Review is to inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations; the Scrum Team presents results to key stakeholders and progress toward the Product Goal is discussed. It is not a formal acceptance gate, a performance review, or the venue for producing the Sprint Backlog.
