A Scrum Master tells the Developers they must each answer three set questions in every Daily Scrum: what they did yesterday, what they will do today, and any impediments. What is the most accurate correction?

A Scrum Team completes and integrates three separate Product Backlog items on days 3, 6, and 9 of a two-week Sprint. Each one meets the Definition of Done. How many Increments has the team created?
Correct answer: B - Three - an Increment is born the moment a Product Backlog item meets the Definition of Done
A Product Backlog item meets every acceptance criterion the Product Owner wrote for it, but the automated regression suite required by the Scrum Team's Definition of Done has not been run. What is the status of the item?
Correct answer: D - It is not Done and cannot be released or shown at the Sprint Review
Under pressure to hit a date, a Product Owner tells the Developers that an item "is a 3-pointer, we have done this before." How should this be judged against the Scrum Guide?
Correct answer: C - Inappropriate - the Developers who will do the work are responsible for the sizing
A Scrum Master books a mandatory 90-minute refinement meeting each Sprint and tells the team the Scrum Guide requires refinement to consume up to 10% of the Developers' capacity. What is wrong with this?
