Question 155
Leslie is the scrum master for Project Y, which is 9 iterations into its deployment and has a velocity of 68 story points. Recently a new team member joined the team, and the new team member is located in a different country than the rest of the team. What should Leslie do next?
- A Remove that team member and find someone local.
- B Force that team member to move closer to the rest of the team.
- C Complain to the product owner.
- D Determine what communication tools can be provided to integrate the new team member.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Leslie should investigate what technology can be acquired to integrate this team member. Removing the team member from the project is not ideal as this will alienate them and deprive Project Y of a resource. The team member has already been hired and added to the project. The locality of the team member should have been discussed before the person’s hiring. The product owner is unlikely to be of any assistance with this scenario.Discussion
