Kevin is a senior developer that has recently joined an existing Scrum Team. The existing team members are unable to get along with Kevin and conclude that he is not a culture fit.
If necessary, who is responsible for removing the new team member, and why?
A . The Scrum Master because he/she is responsible for removing Impediments.
B . The Development Team is responsible because it is an internal team issue, and may request help from the Scrum Master.
C . The HR department, as they are responsible for the hiring process.
D . The Product Owner because he/she is responsible for managing the team.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The ones closest to the problem are the best ones to understand and solve the problems. The Scrum Master can remove members (if empowered). The question is focused on the ownership of the root problem. The Development Team is responsible for addressing internal conflicts and may request help from the Scrum Master if needed. Because this is a localized issue, they are the ones that must initiate the actions for the results they desire.
