There is a database feature requiring three members of a seven person team. A meeting is scheduled at the beginning of the sprint to go over technical needs to complete the story. Who should the Scrum Master invite to the meeting?
In this scenario, the Scrum Master should invite the core team and the product owner (Option D). Here’s why:
Core Team Involvement: The core team members who will be working on the database feature need to understand the technical requirements and collaborate on the implementation plan.
Product Owner’s Role: The product owner provides the necessary context and ensures that the technical needs align with the overall product vision and priorities.
This combination ensures that both the technical and business perspectives are covered, facilitating a comprehensive discussion and effective planning.
D is correct.
But please be mindful about the terms being used in these questions. The reason why option "A" is not correct because the question mentions the word "Sprint", therefore the question is talking about Scrum and in scrum we have the product owner. If the question had said "iteration" instead of sprint than option A would have been the correct answer, because the word iteration is used in XP and in XP: Product Owner = Customer.
D - Correct
The core team must be invited because they are responsible for development.
From The Scrum Guide:
“For each selected Product Backlog item, the Developers plan the work necessary to create an Increment that meets the Definition of Done. This is often done by decomposing Product Backlog items into smaller work items of one day or less. How this is done is at the sole discretion of the Developers. No one else tells them how to turn Product Backlog items into Increments of value.”
“The Product Owner is also accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes:
...
● Ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible and understood.”
The term "core team" is mentioned 7 times in PMI's Agile Practice Guide.
