PSM I Exam - Question 105


A new Developer is having continuing conflicts with existing members of the Scrum Team, which is impacting the delivery of the Increment. If necessary, who is responsible for removing the Developer from the Scrum Team?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The Scrum Master is responsible for removing impediments that might hinder the Scrum Team's progress. If a new Developer is causing conflicts that affect the delivery of the Increment, it is considered an impediment. Therefore, it falls within the Scrum Master's duties to address and, if necessary, remove the Developer from the team to ensure the team can function effectively.

I think the answer is C. The new developer is acting as an impediment.

C is wrong answer. D is correct one. It is just as palmer24 described: a part of sentence is missing.

D. L'équipe Scrum est responsable. Selon les principes du Scrum, l'équipe Scrum est autonome et responsable de la gestion de son travail. Cela inclut la responsabilité de gérer les conflits et les problèmes internes qui peuvent survenir. Si un nouveau développeur a des conflits continus avec les membres existants de l'équipe Scrum, il incombe à l'équipe Scrum de résoudre ce problème.

C should be the right answer. I understand The development team is self managing, but it has been said in terms of work allocation, progress tracking, daily scrum, sprint backlog management etc. It is not interms of that they have the power to remove someone from the development team (Which means from project.). This duty always lies with management which means Scrum master and product owner. Scrum master is responsible to remove any impediments so in collaboration with PO, SM has the right to suggest management to remove person from the development team.

Nor the Scrum Master, nor the Product Owner are managers in Scrum. There are no managers in Scrum. The Scrum team makes this decision, but if unable to reach it, the Scrum Master may facilitate by making the call.

I don’t think scrum master has power to remove someone from the team even if that’s an impediment.op D looks more likely as scrum team is self managing unit.

Scrum master is not a personnel manager

Scrum Teams are self-managing, meaning they are responsible for their own structure and how they work together. If a Developer’s conflicts are negatively impacting delivery, the Scrum Team must collectively address the issue and decide on the best course of action.

Scrum teams are self managing so it has to be a collective decision.
