Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 93

How should a Scrum Master coordinate the work when more than one Scrum Team is working on one product?

Answer options

• A. Teach them that it's their responsibility to coordinate with the other teams to integrate and create a shippable product Increment at the end of every Sprint.
• B. Identify and manage the dependencies between Scrum Teams.
• C. Have the Product Owner work with the tech leads of each team to parse the Product Backlog and minimize overlap in User Stories.
• D. Merge the teams and work from a single Sprint Backlog.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, emphasizes the Scrum Master's role in guiding teams to take responsibility for inter-team coordination, ensuring a cohesive product Increment. Options B and C, while relevant, do not directly address the Scrum Master's responsibility in facilitating collaboration. Option D is not practical as merging teams can introduce complexity and disrupt established workflows.
