Steven, the Scrum Master, observes that one of the Development Team members is not attending the Daily Scrum. The Development Team feels this is ok as they all sit in the same area and already have constant communication throughout the day.
Which is the best action for Steven to take?
A . Start running the Daily Scrum and require all members to be in attendance.
B . Talk to the Development Team member privately and tell him that he needs to be a team player.
C . Ask the Development Team, what value will result from having all team members present at the Daily Scrum and what are the risks if members don’t attend.
D . The Daily Scrum is owned by the Development Team and it is their responsibility to decide which team members must participate.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum Team understands the purpose and value of the Scrum events. Because the Daily Scrum is owned by the Development Team, it will decide how best to run the event. And if needed the Scrum Master will coach the team to ensure the decisions stay within the boundaries of the Scrum framework.
