Midway through an iteration, an agile team learns that a team member will be unavailable for the next two iterations. As a high-performance team, what should the team do?
A.
Raise an impediment that resource tasks will be blocked and notify the product owner
B.
Ask the delivery manager for a temporary resource
C.
Ask the scrum master to assign that team member's tasks to the next available resource
D.
Assume the team member's tasks to meet iteration goals, and notify the product owner
In Agile, scrum master is the servant leader who is responsible to resolve impediment. Therefore, if that colleague's absence caused an issue. We should notify scrum master not product owner. therefore, A is not correct.
In Agile, team member is generalized specialist. A high performance team can work collaborate and help each other. One person's absence should not be a big issue so not caused any problem. The team can reach the iterative goal and notify PO. therefore, the answer should be D
What should the 'team' do? D. is the clear answer, the Team takes on the responsibilities and PO gets notified.
In Agile, one aims to have cross-functional Teams, where the Team members can absorb any work planned work.
By prioritizing open communication and collaboration (A), your high-performance team can effectively navigate this challenge, adapt accordingly, and continue delivering value throughout the remaining iterations.
Remember, transparency and shared decision-making are vital for agile teams to thrive. By promptly informing the product owner, you set the stage for a collaborative and proactive response to this unforeseen obstacle.
I think it is A. It's important to note that even in high-performance teams, communication and transparency remain crucial. It is still advisable to notify the product owner and other relevant stakeholders about the change in resource availability, ensuring that everyone is informed and aligned with the adjusted plan.
