An agile coach is facing a dilemma: On one hand, there is a requirement that is vital and will consume all capacity of the team. On the other hand, there are some chore-related tasks that will improve the team's ability to produce results. The team insists on implementing these tasks since they will increase efficiency.

What should the agile coach do?

  • A. Characterize chores as low priority since they do not add obvious value to the product
  • B. Delegate chore-related tasks to another team.
  • C. Escalate the issue to the shareholders/steering committee.
  • D. Get the product owner and team to meet to prioritize the work.

Selected Answer: D
Facilitation: The agile coach should encourage a healthy discourse between the product owner and the team to understand the importance and urgency of both the vital requirement and the chore-related tasks. Prioritization: The product owner, with input from the team, should prioritize the tasks based on their value to the product and the team's efficiency. Transparency: This meeting will ensure transparency and alignment on what needs to be done and why, fostering a collaborative decision-making process. Balance: By involving both the product owner and the team, a balanced approach can be taken to address immediate needs while also considering long-term efficiency improvements.

Option A: Characterize chores as low priority since they do not add obvious value to the product Short-Sighted: This approach might overlook the long-term benefits of chore-related tasks that can improve the team's efficiency and productivity. Team Morale: Dismissing the team's input on chores can negatively impact team morale and their sense of ownership. Technical Debt: Ignoring these tasks can lead to technical debt, which might cause bigger issues in the future.

Option B: Delegate chore-related tasks to another team Resource Constraints: Other teams might not have the capacity or the context to handle these tasks effectively. Responsibility: The team that identified the chores is likely best suited to address them, as they understand the context and the impact on their workflow. Coordination Issues: Delegating tasks can lead to coordination issues and potential delays, as the other team might not prioritize these tasks.

Option C: Escalate the issue to the shareholders/steering committee Unnecessary Escalation: This might be seen as an unnecessary escalation for a matter that can be resolved within the team. Autonomy: It undermines the team's autonomy and ability to self-organize and make decisions. Delay: Involving higher management can delay the decision-making process, which is counterproductive in an agile environment.
