C) Each component of Scrum serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum's success
and your usage of Scrum to develop complex products.
D) Scrum is like traditional processes but with self-organization to replace Project Managers.
E) Scrum is based on empirical process control theory.
F) Scrum is a framework that eliminates complexity.

Feedback
1. Scrum is meant to be implemented as prescribed in the Scrum Guide. For example, the five events
in the Scrum Guide are mandatory, each event has a specific purpose.
2. Scrum does not eliminate the complexity that is inherent in delivering a product in today’s world,
instead it offers a framework for dealing with complexity. By regularly delivering increments of value
teams gain the ability to inspect and rapidly adapt based on the feedback received.
3. Project Managers are not simply replaced by self-organizing teams. Scrum is a framework for
optimizing decision making based on the knowledge and experience of the entire team.
