Sprint

Correct Answer: Discuss the situation with the team member and identify any issues or training needs

A Scrum Master's responsibility is to address issues and facilitate the team's progress. The best course of action is to discuss the situation with the team member, identify any issues or training needs, and collaboratively find a solution. Replacing, ignoring, extending the sprint, or taking punitive action is not supportive of Agile methodology.

Correct Answer: The Scrum Master should suggest the team member to communicate this new idea to the Product Owner, considering it for future Sprints

The Scrum Guide emphasizes that changes to the team's goal during a Sprint can decrease the team's focus and productivity, therefore new ideas need to be discussed with the Product Owner and considered for future Sprints. The suggestion to implement the idea immediately is incorrect as it deviates from Scrum's principle of having a stable goal during the Sprint. Informing stakeholders directly is also incorrect as it bypasses the Product Owner's role of managing the product backlog. Ignoring the idea is not a good approach, as it might be valuable for future work.

Correct Answer: The Development Team informs the Product Owner who then decides on the best course of action.

The Development Team should inform the Product Owner about impediments affecting the Sprint's progress, including the need for legal approval. It is up to the Product Owner to assess the situation and make a decision on how to proceed, potentially altering the Sprint Goal or backlog as necessary. The other options, while plausible actions in different contexts, do not directly follow Scrum's guidance for handling such impediments.
