A project manager is managing an agile project for the first time. Early on, the project manager discovers the team is struggling to agree on the scope of a feature during a sprint.
How should the project manager help the team resolve the issue?
A.
Direct the senior-most member to determine the scope on behalf of the team.
B.
Encourage the team to collaborate to resolve their understanding of the feature.
C.
Ask the team to log the story in the product backlog and move on to the next feature.
D.
Discuss this with the team and decide what the scope of the feature should be
B. Encourage the team to collaborate to resolve their understanding of the feature.
This aligns well with agile principles. Encouraging the team to collaborate can help them arrive at a shared understanding of the feature's scope.
B is the correct answer. Along with the other great comments, the team may actually have a misunderstanding on the scope and size of the item so having the team discuss and refine the item further will allow the different team members to understand aspects of the item which they did potentially not consider previously.
I am going with D. I agree that the team is self-organizing, but they can't decide on the scope of a feature; they need the PM to help them with scoping disagreements.
I hear you.. although when the PM "encourages" the team to collaborate, the PM can facilitate discussions that better help the team come to a consensus. I think B does make the most sense here.
