True or False: Management does not have a role within Scrum.

Management has a role in supporting Scrum, though not within the Scrum Team. The Scrum Guide

notes: "Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to

create value each Sprint. They are also self-managing... Various practices exist to forecast progress,

like burn-downs, burn-ups, or cumulative flows." Management provides resources, removes

impediments, and sets organizational context, but doesn’t manage the team directly.

A: False—management supports externally.

B: Correct—management has an indirect role.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: "The Scrum Master serves the organization in several ways,

including: Leading, training, and coaching the organization in its Scrum adoption; Planning and

advising Scrum implementations within the organization." (Section: "The Scrum Master") This implies

management’s involvement.

Thus, B is correct.
