The productivity of an agile team has fallen significantly in the last sprint. The team members have not mentioned any impediments but seem to be fatigued.
What should the agile practitioner do?
A.
Discuss the issue with the team at the next daily standup meeting.
B.
Discuss the issue with the team at a special meeting for this purpose.
C.
Discuss the issue with the project stakeholders at a special meeting for this purpose.
D.
Discuss the issue with the team at the next project retrospective.
Option A: Discuss the issue with the team at the next daily standup meeting.
The daily standup is meant to be a brief meeting focused on the day’s tasks and any immediate impediments. Discussing a significant issue like team fatigue and productivity drop would likely require more time and depth than a standup allows.
Option B: Discuss the issue with the team at a special meeting for this purpose.
While this could work, it might disrupt the team’s schedule and add to their fatigue. The retrospective is already a dedicated time for reflection and improvement, making it a more natural fit for this discussion.
Option C: Discuss the issue with the project stakeholders at a special meeting for this purpose.
Involving stakeholders directly in team dynamics and internal issues might not be appropriate. It’s better to first understand and address the issue within the team before escalating it to stakeholders.
