Selected Answer: D
Reducing Specializations and Bottlenecks: Emphasizing the importance of cross-functional skills within the team helps in reducing dependencies and bottlenecks. This approach ensures that the team can handle various tasks without being overly reliant on specific individuals. Equal Contribution: Highlighting that every team member plays an equal part fosters a collaborative environment. It encourages team members to take on different roles and responsibilities, which is essential in Agile methodologies. Team Cohesion: By explaining the importance of shared responsibilities, the scrum master can help the SME understand that their contribution to tasks like regression testing is valuable for the overall success of the project.

A. Explain to the SME the importance of being a team player, that the tasks are assigned by the scrum master, and work should not be refused: This approach is too authoritative and may not foster a collaborative team environment. It could lead to resentment and reduce team morale. B. Acknowledge that the SME has a valid point from an efficiency point of view and will perform better staying as a specialist: While specialization can be efficient, it goes against the Agile principle of cross-functional teams. It can also create bottlenecks and dependencies. C. Leverage a separate testing team altogether to assist with all testing to ensure consistent results: This option introduces additional dependencies and can slow down the process. It also contradicts the Agile principle of having a self-sufficient team capable of handling all aspects of development.
