PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 77

A technical problem arises that will likely impact the stories planned for delivery in the current sprint.
What should the scrum master do?

Answer options

• A. Consider adding a story to the next sprint to seek resolution
• B. Immediately solve the problem on behalf of the team
• C. Ask the team to collaboratively work out a solution
• D. Engage a technical manager to assist with finding a solution

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the scrum master should facilitate collaboration among team members to find a solution, empowering them to take ownership. Option A is not ideal as it delays resolution, B undermines the team's ability to solve problems, and D may create dependency on external help rather than fostering team self-sufficiency.
