A Scrum Master is introducing Scrum to a new Development Team. The Development Team has decided that a Sprint Retrospective is unnecessary. What action should the Scrum Master take? (Choose the best answer.)
A. Call a meeting between the Development Team and senior management.
B. Comply with the decision of the self-organizing team.
C. Consult with the Product Owner to see how he/she feels about the situation.
D. Begin facilitating productive and useful Sprint Retrospectives.
Sprint Retrospective is mandatory. You can’t pick from Scrum events the one you want and skip others. You must have all 4 Scrum events. Also from Scrum Guide “The Sprint Retrospective concludes the Sprint.”
It is mandatory. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to assess its performance and improve itself. It’s D.
I think the answer is “B” because Sprint Retrospective is not mandatory and development team should be self organizing. So scrum master cannot impose any decisions at this point.
I think C is not correct because what PO “feel” does not matter.
shouldn’t the answer rather be C? Because Product Owner is mandatory in Scrum Retrospective and his or her Decision matters here as well.
