PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 41

More details for a story are required before the upcoming sprint planning meeting.
What should the scrum master do?

Answer options

• A. Email the product owner requesting detailed story specifications and wait for a response
• B. Gather the details from the team members before sprint planning
• C. Schedule a story grooming session with the product owner before sprint planning
• D. Conduct a planning poker session with the team

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because scheduling a story grooming session allows for collaborative refinement of the user story with the product owner, ensuring all necessary details are clarified. Option A is not proactive, as waiting for a response may delay planning, while option B may not gather sufficient details from the product owner. Option D focuses on estimating rather than clarifying story requirements.
