In a frequently changing project, the project manager discovers a customer requirement change during a daily meeting. What should the project manager do?
A.
Escalate to management for approval since the change was not included in the original requirements.
B.
Tell the customer that the requirement change will be put into the next project phase if management approves.
C.
Give the change to the scrum master to investigate how much additional effort the change will require.
D.
Validate the requirement change with the product owner and development team before redefining the scope.
In an agile environment, the scrum master is responsible for helping the team to deliver the product according to the sprint goal. This includes helping the team to manage changes to the product backlog, which is the list of features and functionality that the team will deliver in the next sprint.
If a customer requirement change is discovered during a daily meeting, the scrum master can help the team to assess the impact of the change on the sprint backlog. This includes estimating how much additional effort the change will require and whether or not the change can be accommodated in the current sprint.
The scrum master can also help the team to communicate the change to the product owner and to get the product owner's approval for the change. If the product owner approves the change, the scrum master can then help the team to incorporate the change into the sprint backlog.
Therefore, option C is the most appropriate answer to the question. By giving the change to the scrum master, the project manager can ensure that the change is carefully considered and that the team has the support they need to implement the change smoothly and effectively.
I think your answer said the right thing but came to the wrong conclusion. C. never mentions anyone else so it was wrong:
The scrum master's role is to facilitate the Agile process, but the decision-making should involve the entire team and align with Agile principles.
The correct answer is B. Validate the requirement change with the product owner and development team before redefining the scope.
If a project manager discovers a customer requirement change during a daily meeting in a frequently changing project, it is important to carefully assess the impact of the change before proceeding. The project manager should validate the requirement change with the product owner and development team to ensure that it is feasible and aligns with the project goals. Based on this assessment, the project manager can then work with the team to redefine the scope as needed and determine any additional effort that may be required. It may also be necessary to escalate the change to management for approval, but this should not be the first step taken. Telling the customer that the requirement change will be put into the next project phase or giving the change to the scrum master to investigate are not appropriate actions, as they do not address the need to validate the change and assess its impact on the project.
Basically, in agile projects, it is better to always make changes with the product manager and the development team. Scrum master should also have the role of facilitator.
This seems to be an agile project as it is frequently changing and have daily meeting. For changes, you need to talk with Product Owner.
