QuestionQ364

Delivery

A Scrum Master is observing an Agile development team’s daily coordination meeting. The Scrum Master notices that one developer is confused about a business rule for the solution being built.

How should the Scrum Master handle this issue?

  • A Take a few minutes to speak with the developer after the daily coordination meeting and provide clarification.
  • B Follow the appropriate channels by contacting the product owner and asking them to address the issue with the team.
  • C Wait until the sprint review to explain how the product increment needs to be changed to be acceptable.
  • D Speak up immediately during the daily coordination meeting and clarify the issue to avoid any further confusion.
Explanation

The Product Owner is accountable for clearly communicating Product Backlog items and ensuring they are understood. A business-rule ambiguity should therefore be directed to the Product Owner for clarification with the team. The Scrum Master supports the team’s effectiveness and Scrum process but is not accountable for defining or interpreting product requirements.
