Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 115

A Scrum Master is working with a Scrum Team that has members in different physical locations. The Developers meet in a variety of meeting rooms and have much to do logistically (for example: reserve meeting rooms and set up conference calls) before the Daily Scrum. What action should the Scrum Master take?

Answer options

• A. Allow the Developers to self-manage and determine for themselves what to do.
• B. Set up the meeting and tell the Scrum Team that is how it will be done.
• C. Ask the Developers to alternate who is responsible for meeting setup.
• D. Inform management and ask them to solve it.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Scrum Master should empower the Developers to self-manage, fostering autonomy and teamwork. Options B and C impose solutions rather than encouraging the team to find their own resolutions, while D shifts responsibility to management, which goes against the principles of Scrum.
