QuestionQ158

Delivery

An agile team has been established for five years, and the customer is satisfied with the team’s performance and deliverables. Now that the product has been built and delivered, the customer is considering the Scrum Master’s future role.

What should the customer do?

  • A Expand the Scrum Master's role to other projects, while allowing them to support the current project
  • B Release the Scrum Master, since the team is adequately skilled with agile practices
  • C Expand the product owner's role to serve as the Scrum Master, while providing additional product knowledge
  • D Increase the functional manager's role to act as the Scrum Master, while providing additional information about functional areas
Explanation

A Scrum Master remains accountable for Scrum Team effectiveness and for helping the organization adopt and improve Scrum. An experienced Scrum Master can therefore broaden support to other projects while continuing to assist the current product team as needed. The Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers have distinct accountabilities; maturity of the team does not make the Scrum Master accountability unnecessary or appropriate for a functional manager or Product Owner to absorb.
