Development Team

Correct Answer: Daily Stand-up Meeting

The Daily Stand-up Meeting is a short 15-minute meeting held every day to discuss the progress, identify any impediments, and facilitate better communication and collaboration among the team members.

Correct Answer: The team member should take note of the improvement for discussion in the next Sprint Planning meeting to evaluate its alignment with the product backlog and future sprint goals.

The correct approach to handle a potential improvement identified outside the current sprint goal is to bring it up in an appropriate Scrum event aimed at planning work, such as the Sprint Planning meeting. This approach ensures that any changes to the scope align with the product owner's vision and the product backlog priorities, maintaining the focus of the current sprint on its original goals. The wrong answers suggest methods that either bypass necessary discussions with the Product Owner and the Development Team or disrupt the current sprint's focus and goals.

Correct Answer: The Development Team should discuss the pros and cons, estimate the learning curve impact on productivity, and make a consensus decision.

The best action would be for the Development Team to have a collaborative discussion about the potential advantages and disadvantages of adopting the new technology. Determining the impact of the learning curve on productivity is also crucial to make a balanced decision. This approach aligns with Agile and Scrum principles that emphasize team collaboration, shared responsibility and decision-making. The idea that the Scrum Master should make the final decision or that the reluctant team members should be forced to learn the new technology contradicts these principles as it takes away from the autonomy of the team and can lead to negative outcomes. Similarly, having some team members begin using the new technology while others catch up over time may lead to discontinuity in the team's output and functioning.
