PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 22

During a daily stand up, the tester engages the developer in a discussion about what will be tested during unit testing versus regression testing.
What should the scrum master do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the tester and developer to discuss it after the meeting, since it is not a part of the daily stand up
• B. Encourage the discussion to resolve impediments
• C. After the meeting, escalate this issue to the tester's supervisor to ensure that this does not reoccur
• D. Ask more questions about the testing techniques to obtain clarification on team efforts for quality improvements

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the daily stand up is intended for quick updates and not for in-depth discussions. Allowing such discussions can derail the meeting's purpose. The other options suggest actions that either prolong the discussion or escalate the situation unnecessarily.
