PSM II Exam - Question 7

Three Development Teams are currently building a single product and pulling work from the same Product Backlog. All three teams have identified that they will need Dan, a database specialist, to work full time in their team for the next several Sprints.

What should Steven, the Scrum Master, do to solve this potential problem?

Manage the items in the Sprint Backlogs so that Dan can be utilized evenly for each team.

Assign Dan to the team with the most urgent tasks first and then move him to the next team and so on until the required support is completed.

Facilitate a discussion with all Development Teams on how they want to deal with this issue, and help them implement their preferred solution.

Ask Dan to work with the HR department to recruit and hire additional database specialists. In the meantime, have the Product Owner move items that do not depend on Dan to the top of the Product Backlog.

By facilitating a discussion among all the Development Teams, Steven helps the teams collaborate and come up with a solution that best fits their needs while staying within the Scrum framework. This approach empowers the teams to self-organize and make decisions that are most effective for their situation, which is a key principle of Scrum.
