EXIN ISO/IEC 20000 Foundation — Question 6

A Manager requests to attend the daily stand-up meeting so that he can be more responsive to the team by being aware of the team's progress and issues.
As the Scrum Master, what should you do?

Answer options

• A. Allow the Product Owner to participate in 'listen only' mode.
• B. Allow the Product Owner to participate like any other team member.
• C. Turn down the request as the daily stand-up is only for the team.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because allowing the Product Owner to listen without participating maintains the focus of the stand-up on the team while still keeping the Product Owner informed. Options B and C are incorrect as B disrupts the intention of the stand-up by allowing more voices, and C dismisses the opportunity for the Product Owner to gain valuable insights.
