A company starts implementing Scrum. About halfway through the first sprint, communication issues develop. Some project team members are not in sync with other team members. What is the cause for this communication gap?
A.
The project sprint board has not been updated
B.
Daily standup meetings were not held or enforced
C.
The project status dashboard has not been updated
D.
The communications management plan has not been developed
The cause for the communication gap in this situation is likely that daily standup meetings were not held or enforced (option B).
In Scrum, a sprint is a time-boxed iteration of work during which a specific set of tasks is completed and delivered. During a sprint, daily standup meetings, also known as daily Scrums, are held to provide an opportunity for team members to communicate with each other and coordinate their work.
The purpose of daily standup meetings is to ensure that team members are aware of what each other is working on, identify any issues or obstacles that need to be addressed, and coordinate their efforts to ensure that the tasks for the sprint are completed on time. If daily standup meetings are not held or enforced, it can lead to a communication gap and a lack of coordination among team members, which can negatively impact the progress and success of the sprint.
B. Daily standup meetings were not held or enforced.
The daily standup meetings, also known as Daily Scrum, are a key component of Scrum methodology. These short, daily meetings provide an opportunity for team members to synchronize, discuss progress, and identify any obstacles. If these meetings are not held or enforced, it can lead to communication issues and a lack of synchronization among team members
B. Daily standup meetings were not held or enforced.
In Scrum, daily standup meetings (also known as daily scrum meetings or daily stand-ups) are a crucial part of the framework. These meetings are designed to provide a daily opportunity for team members to synchronize, share updates, and identify any impediments or blockers. When daily standup meetings are not held or enforced, it can lead to communication gaps and a lack of synchronization among team members. This can result in team members not being aware of each other's progress or challenges, which can impact the overall progress of the sprint and project.
A sprint board is a visual representation of the work to be done in a single sprint. The sprint board allows the Scrum team to: Identify the tasks that need to be completed. Ensure that everyone is working on a project task. Keep track of the progress of an active sprint. If the board isn't updated, the team is then our of sync, the project sprint fails.
The answer is A, because "Some project team members are not in sync with other team members." It means that the project sprint board (scrum board) has not been updated
I think A is correct.
Because, Daily standup meetings were enforced, if the project sprint board (scrum board) has not been updated then still missing information in sync with other team members.
