Question #: 73

[All PSM-II Questions]

You are the Scrum Master for four teams working from the same Product Backlog. Several of the Developers come to you complaining that work identified for the upcoming two Sprints will require full time commitment from Phil, an external specialist. As the Scrum Master what should you do to solve this upcoming problem?

Suggested Answer: D

The best way to determine if the Product Owner is interacting with the Developers enough throughout a Sprint is to observe whether both parties are satisfied with the Increment.The Increment is a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal1.It must be usable and meet the Definition of Done1.The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Developers1.The Developers are accountable for creating a valuable, useful, and potentially releasable Increment every Sprint1. Therefore, if both the Product Owner and the Developers are happy with the quality and value of the Increment, it means that they have communicated and collaborated effectively throughout the Sprint.

Some reasons why the other options are not correct are:

A: The Developers should determine the percentage of time the Product Owner is required to be present and monitor whether the Product Owner's average presence is around this figure. This option is not correct because it implies that there is a fixed or optimal amount of time that the Product Owner should spend with the Developers, which may not be true. The Product Owner's interaction with the Developers may vary depending on the context, complexity, and uncertainty of the product and the Sprint.The Scrum Guide does not prescribe any specific time or frequency for the Product Owner's involvement with the Developers1.The Product Owner should be available to provide guidance and feedback to the Developers as needed, but not interfere with their self-organization and autonomy1.

B: Check the Daily Scrum reports to see whether the Product Owner was present at the majority of the Daily Scrum meetings. This option is not correct because it assumes that the Daily Scrum is a meeting where the Product Owner should be present, which is not true.The Daily Scrum is an event for and by the Developers12, not for reporting or accountability to anyone else.The Product Owner may attend as an observer or a collaborator, but only if invited by the Developers12. The presence or absence of the Product Owner at the Daily Scrum does not indicate how much they interact with the Developers throughout the Sprint.

C: Observe whether the Developers need to ask the Product Owner questions at times other than during the Daily Scrum. This option is not correct because it implies that asking questions is a sign of insufficient interaction, which may not be true. Asking questions is a natural and healthy part of communication and collaboration between the Product Owner and the Developers. It shows that they are engaged, curious, and willing to learn from each other. It also helps them to clarify requirements, expectations, and feedback, and to resolve any ambiguities or conflicts. Asking questions does not necessarily mean that there is a lack of interaction, but rather that there is a need for more information or clarification.

Whoa, Phil must be one busy guy! I'd go with D - hiring more help and re-prioritizing sounds like the best way to keep the Sprints on track.

B seems like a nice idea, but what if one team needs Phil more than the others? I think C is the way to go, let the Developers decide how to handle this.

Haha, option A is like trying to juggle Phil between the teams - good luck with that! I'll go with D, the most practical solution.

Option A is definitely not practical, juggling Phil between teams sounds chaotic.

D is the best option. Hiring and training additional specialists is a long-term solution, and in the meantime, we can re-prioritize the work to reduce Phil's workload.

C sounds like the most reasonable approach. As the Scrum Master, I should work with the Developers to understand their preferred solution and help them implement it.
