Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 111

When a Development Team is having trouble delivering a working Increment because they don't understand a functional requirement, what should they do?

Answer options

• A. Add a specialist to the Development Team.
• B. Partially complete the functionality, and discuss the remaining work at the Sprint Review.
• C. Collaborate with the Product Owner to determine what is possible and acceptable.
• D. Defer the work to a more appropriate Sprint.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because collaborating with the Product Owner helps to clarify functional requirements, ensuring the team understands what is expected. Option A may not resolve the underlying issue of unclear requirements, while B does not ensure that the team fully understands the requirements before proceeding. Option D delays the work rather than addressing the misunderstanding immediately.
