Scrum and Kanban

Correct Answer: Encourage the stakeholder to share any observations or questions they may have, emphasizing the collective goal of increasing product value.

The Scrum Master's role is to foster an environment where open communication and feedback are valued from all stakeholders, regardless of their direct involvement with the feature in question. It's essential to encourage stakeholders to provide feedback on any aspect they feel relevant, as this can lead to a richer understanding of the product's value and potential improvements. Suggesting that only certain feedback is valid, organizing separate discussions, or redirecting the feedback process to after the meeting can undermine the collaborative spirit of the Sprint Review and limit the diversity of insights gained during the event.

Correct Answer: Help the team to discuss the request with the Product Owner and stakeholders to understand its alignment with the Sprint Goal and Product Roadmap.

In Scrum, the Product Owner is responsible for deciding what goes into the Product Backlog and subsequently the Sprint Backlog. They take into account the project's goal and the stakeholders' needs. Therefore, when an additional functionality is requested, the best course of action is for the Scrum Master to facilitate a discussion between the team, Product Owner, and stakeholders. This way, they can understand the feature's alignment with the project's goal and roadmap. The answers suggesting to make decisions without consulting the Product Owner, or to outrightly tell the stakeholder that the request can only be discussed in the next Sprint Planning, all bypass the role of the Product Owner which isn't right per Scrum guidelines. Lastly, including the feature into the next sprint backlog without any discussions disregards the collaborative nature of Scrum, where decisions are typically made based on consensus and maximum value product delivery.

Correct Answer: Encourage the Product Owner to include all completions in the review and engage in discussion regarding each of them.

During the Sprint Review, it is important for transparency and stakeholder feedback that all completed work is presented. The correct answer emphasizes the Scrum Master encouraging the Product Owner to present and discuss every completed item, fostering an open dialogue about the Sprint's outcomes. The wrong answers reflect strategies that either bypass the inclusive review of work, create unnecessary separation of work review, or overly prioritize efficiency at the cost of transparency and stakeholder engagement.
