    Explanation
    When a team member is consistently late for the Daily Scrum, the first thing the team should do is meet with the team member to determine a solution. This approach promotes open communication and collaboration within the team. By discussing the issue directly with the team member, the team can understand the reasons behind the lateness and work together to find a solution that addresses the problem. It allows the team to address any underlying issues and find ways to ensure everyone is able to attend the Daily Scrum on time, promoting a more productive and efficient team dynamic.

This allows the team to have a focused discussion on the potential solution without interrupting the flow of the Daily Scrum meeting. It also ensures that all team members have an opportunity to evaluate the solution and provide their input, which can then be discussed further in the next Daily Scrum meeting. This approach promotes collaboration and ensures that the decision to implement the open source code is made collectively by the team.

    Explanation
    The ScrumMaster is responsible for facilitating the Sprint Retrospective Meeting. This is because the ScrumMaster's role is to ensure that the Scrum framework is followed and that the team is able to continuously improve. The Sprint Retrospective Meeting is a key part of this process as it allows the team to reflect on their performance and identify areas for improvement. The ScrumMaster facilitates this meeting by guiding the team through the retrospective process, encouraging open and honest communication, and helping to identify actionable steps for improvement.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which role is MOST LIKELY to communicate an impediment during a Daily Scrum?

    • A.

      Product Owner

    • B.

      Team

    • C.

      Stakeholders

    • D.

      ScrumMaster

    Correct Answer
    B. Team
    Explanation
    The team is most likely to communicate an impediment during a Daily Scrum because they are responsible for the execution of the work and are directly involved in the day-to-day activities. They have firsthand knowledge of any obstacles or issues that may be hindering their progress and can provide valuable insights and updates during the Daily Scrum. The Product Owner may communicate impediments related to the product or requirements, but the team is typically the one facing operational and technical challenges. The ScrumMaster's role is to facilitate the Scrum process and help remove impediments, but they may not always be aware of all the specific issues the team is facing. Stakeholders are not directly involved in the daily execution of the work and may not have the necessary information to communicate impediments effectively.

    Explanation
    The ScrumMaster's role in the Sprint Retrospective is to facilitate the team's search for improvements. This means that the ScrumMaster helps the team reflect on the previous sprint, identify areas of improvement, and come up with strategies to address those areas. The ScrumMaster does not determine the re-composition of the team, evaluate individual team members, or provide answers to the challenges identified by the team. Their main focus is on facilitating the retrospective process and creating a safe space for the team to discuss and improve.

This allows the Product Owner to stay informed about the team's work and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the successful completion of the sprint goals. Additionally, by being present at the Daily Scrum, the Product Owner can also provide valuable feedback and input to the team, which can contribute to the overall success of the project.

    • C.

      At least eight hours

    Correct Answer
    C. Inform the Product Owner so he/she can work with the CEO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to inform the Product Owner so he/she can work with the CEO. This is the appropriate action because the Product Owner is responsible for managing the product backlog and prioritizing the work for the development team. Adding a story to the current Sprint without any adjustments may disrupt the team's capacity and impact the Sprint goal. By involving the Product Owner, they can work with the CEO to understand the importance and impact of the requested story and make an informed decision on how to handle it within the Sprint.

Without their involvement, the team may lack the necessary direction and understanding of the product vision, resulting in a product increment that does not meet the desired expectations.
