Question 151

Beth is a scrum master at Acme Corporation and has been tasked with planning Project X. Beth is concerned that the product owner does not fully understand the project's scope. Because of this, the PO has suggested a project team that is insufficient to meet project demands. What should Beth do next?
  • A Review the overall project goals to determine what skills the team should have.
  • B Collaborate with the product owner to find a better team.
  • C Complain to her project management office about the product owner.
  • D Tell the product owner they chose a poor team.
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Beth should first understand what the project needs to do and what skills are required to achieve those goals. Once she has this information, she will be able to meet resourcing requirements. Telling the product owner that they chose poorly will not help properly resource the team and risks alienating the product owner. Complaining to the project management office will not help Beth properly resource her project. Until she has identified resourcing needs, Beth will not be able to find a better team.
