PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 68

What should a scrum master do when one team member falls behind in their tasks?

Answer options

• A. Move the task to another team member who has spare capacity in the sprint
• B. Ask the team for suggestions
• C. Privately offer the team member encouragement to meet task commitments
• D. Notify the product owner

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because engaging the team for suggestions fosters collaboration and can lead to solutions that the scrum master may not have considered. Options A and C focus on individual actions rather than team dynamics, which is not in line with scrum principles, while option D does not address the immediate issue of the team member falling behind.
