The team underestimated the complexity of a story, resulting in new decomposition of the work to be delivered in the current sprint and items to be returned to the backlog. What should the Scrum Master do next?
A.
Ask the project manager to work with the product owner to help generate clearer stories in the future
B.
Develop guidelines to prevent future occurrences
C.
During the retrospective, discuss the issue and create an action plan to avoid it in the future
D.
Allow the team to devise a corrective action without external intervention
C - Correct
From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 50:
“Retrospectives help the team learn from its previous work on the product and its process. One of the principles behind the Agile Manifesto is: “At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.””
The Scrum Master should discuss the issue during the retrospective and create an action plan to avoid it in the future (Option C). This approach leverages the retrospective meeting to reflect on what went wrong and collaboratively develop strategies to prevent similar issues.
Retrospective Discussion: The retrospective is an ideal forum for the team to discuss what happened, why the complexity was underestimated, and how to improve the estimation process.
Collaborative Problem-Solving: Engaging the entire team in the discussion ensures that all perspectives are considered, leading to more comprehensive solutions.
Action Plan Development: Creating an action plan during the retrospective helps the team to implement specific steps to improve their estimation and planning processes.
Continuous Improvement: This approach aligns with the agile principle of continuous improvement, allowing the team to learn from their experiences and enhance their performance iteratively.
C and D is valid option but the question is What should the Scrum Master do next?
SM should let the team deal with the issue themselves first, and discuss in the Retro later.
I choose D
It should be C. Scrum master not doing the estimation or any estimation guideline.
