Stakeholders have conflicting requirements, and the product owner is struggling to decide which user stories to write. What should the product owner do?
A.
Ask the agile practitioner to help write the user stories
B.
Ask the agile team to facilitate a story-writing workshop
C.
Ask subject matter experts (SMEs) to help write the user stories
D.
Ask the agile practitioner to facilitate a story-writing workshop
Think about this questions in terms of Agile certification. Question relates to the conflict resolution and Agile mindset.
A. Ask the agile practitioner to help write the user stories.
= coach is not responsible nor have qualification in priorities and stories.
B. Ask the agile team to facilitate a story-writing workshop.
= team is not responsible for coaching stakeholders.
C. Ask subject matter experts (SMEs) to help write the user stories.
= this answer leads us force some opinion and NOT engage the team/stakeholders
D. Ask the agile practitioner to facilitate a story-writing workshop.
= seems to be the best answer. You coach stakeholders about agile and you engage all relevant people via workshop to make a group decision (buy-in etc)
Expert Facilitation: The agile practitioner can effectively facilitate the workshop, ensuring that all voices are heard and conflicts are managed constructively.
Collaborative Environment: A workshop setting encourages collaboration among stakeholders, helping to resolve conflicts and reach a consensus on requirements.
Structured Process: The agile practitioner can provide a structured process for writing user stories, ensuring that they are clear, concise, and aligned with project goals.
Stakeholder Alignment: Facilitating a workshop helps align stakeholder expectations and priorities, leading to more coherent and prioritized user stories.
Efficient Resolution: This approach can efficiently resolve conflicts and streamline the process of writing user stories, saving time and reducing misunderstandings.
Why the other options are less ideal:
A. Ask the agile practitioner to help write the user stories: While the agile practitioner can provide guidance, writing the stories themselves doesn't address the root issue of conflicting requirements.
B. Ask the agile team to facilitate a story-writing workshop: While the team can contribute, having an experienced facilitator (like the agile practitioner) ensures a structured and productive session.
C. Ask subject matter experts (SMEs) to help write the user stories: SMEs are valuable for technical details, but they may not have the same understanding of user needs and the overall product vision as the agile practitioner.
