The Developers ask their Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog. The team is waiting for an external supplier to deliver a component. Without that component there will not be enough work in the next Sprint to occupy the full team. As the Scrum Master, what advice would you give the Product Owner?
The Product Owner's primary responsibility is to maximize the value delivered by the Scrum Team, as reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog. This aligns with the fundamental principles of Scrum. Therefore, the Product Owner should focus on ensuring the backlog is prioritized based on value, not merely reordering it due to external dependencies or team utilization concerns.
En tant que Scrum Master, le conseil le plus approprié serait le suivant : B. Dites au Product Owner de réorganiser le Product Backlog afin que le travail impliquant le composant externe puisse être planifié dans un sprint séparé. Explication : L'objectif principal du Product Owner est de maximiser la valeur délivrée au client et aux utilisateurs. Dans ce scénario, la situation où un composant externe est attendu et nécessaire pour occuper l'équipe de développement peut être gérée en planifiant le travail de manière appropriée. En séparant le travail lié au composant externe dans un sprint distinct, le Product Owner peut s'assurer que le reste du Product Backlog est ordonnancé pour maximiser la valeur ajoutée à chaque sprint.
A is correct because it talks about the very first point of scrum guide on how the scrum master serves the product owner.
Based on the Scrum Guide, the answer to this question is: B. Tell the Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog so the work involving the external component can be planned in a separate sprint. In Scrum, the Product Owner is responsible for prioritizing the Product Backlog to maximize the value delivered in each Sprint. If the team is waiting for an external supplier to deliver a component and there won't be enough work in the next Sprint to occupy the full team without that component, it makes sense to reorder the backlog so that work not dependent on the external component can be planned for the next Sprint. This ensures that the team can remain productive and focused on delivering value even if they are temporarily waiting for an external dependency to be met.
I fully agree with this
Option A is correct.
The answer is A
The answer is A, the scrum master gives advices not orders, so he cannot "Tell the product owner do something, he advises..."
The best advice for the Product Owner in this situation is A "to remind the Product Owner that his primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog." This is because the Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product, and it is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team. https://www.scrum.org/resources/what-is-a-product-backlog The Product Owner should order the Product Backlog in any way they think will maximize the value of the product, taking into account various factors such as business value, risk, return on investment (ROI), dependencies and impact. https://www.scrum.org/resources/what-is-a-product-backlog Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B and C are incorrect, as they suggest that the Product Owner should compromise the value of the product for other factors.
A, based on my comment previously.
ChatGPT says it is B
A is correct
A The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team.
B is correct
