Selected Answer: D
Empowerment: By acting as a servant leader, the Scrum Master empowers the team to take responsibility for implementing the improvement actions. Self-Organization: This approach encourages the team to self-organize and find solutions to their problems, which is a core principle of Agile. Accountability: Allowing the team to resolve impediments themselves fosters a sense of accountability and ownership over the process improvements. Support: The Scrum Master can provide support and guidance as needed, but the primary responsibility for follow-through lies with the team. Continuous Improvement: This method promotes a culture of continuous improvement, where the team is constantly looking for ways to enhance their processes and performance.

Option A: Lead the team and help them to constantly improve the processes in the project Over-Dependence: This approach might lead to over-dependence on the Scrum Master, reducing the team's ability to self-organize and take ownership of improvements. Limited Empowerment: It does not fully empower the team to take responsibility for their own processes and improvements. Option B: Be aggressive when working with the team to identify the root cause of the problems Negative Impact: Aggressiveness can create a negative atmosphere, reducing team morale and collaboration. Counterproductive: It is counterproductive to the principles of servant leadership and can hinder open communication and trust within the team.

Option C: Ensure each team member follows through all the improvement actions Micromanagement: This approach can lead to micromanagement, which is contrary to Agile principles of self-organization and empowerment. Reduced Ownership: It reduces the sense of ownership and accountability among team members, as they might rely on the Scrum Master to enforce follow-through.

I think it should be A. D - The tem already cannot solve their impediments themselves. C - Is it necessary to follow "all" improvement actions? It depends what actions they are, and how much they can improve.

Selected Answer: D
The SM is a facilitator - he helps the team as a servant leader, showing how should the team behave in order to resolve these kinds of impediments (as described) by themselves (since these impediments are not show stoppers - the team knows how to solve them, but there is lack of initiative). Thus the most logical option is D. It includes A and includes C (B is not an option at all).
