B is the right answer. First, the question asking about something related to company's booth which is not related to product or value. Secondly, the team should focus on the sprint and the leader should shied them from any interruption. Therefore, B answers one of the Project leader role to shied the team during the sprint.

I agree. The development team/Delivery team are not responsible for the external comunication.

Team = event management team Regional sales manager = stakeholder/user Product&value = To attend conference Booth = part of the product Is sales manager "asking for new functionality"? No, only current status. C is the best answer - to invite stakeholder to the nearest review to show the progress.

Selected Answer: C
Given the agile approach, the best option would be C. Invite the regional sales manager to the next iteration review to share the progress. This aligns with agile principles of transparency, collaboration, and continuous feedback. It allows the regional sales manager to be informed and involved without disrupting the team’s workflow.

I also follow option-B. Because stakeholder management is a part of PO responsibility e.g. decide who shall be invited to sprint review etc. Focus on this responsibility, the text of Option-C "invite stakeholder to review meeting" is not a part of team's responsibility. I, therefore, think the Option-B shall be best answer (originally, I thought C is best but changed my mind after carefully read the answering text)

Selected Answer: B
B = correct. The Scrum master is a facilitator, thus he can deal with the regional sales manager, not the team. Also, if needed, he would invite the regional sales manager to the review, not the team (that's why the C is wrong option).

Therefore, the Regional sales manager (Stakeholder) contacts the team only for the company's boot (A specific element), not for the whole conference (The product). The Review meeting will help regarding the current "Conference organizing" status including / excluding the "boot question". Definitely, this is a job for the Scrum master.

B - Contacting team directly is an impediment. Servant-leader (Project manager) should shield team. If required, Project Manager can invite Stakeholder to iteration review meeting. Team shouldn't send an invitation to stakeholder.

Options B & D sounds more like an waterfall approach. Option C is the only agile related answer.

Why C? The question indicates that the sales manager is contacting the team about the booth, so what does it have to do with him joining the meeting?
