Which two things are appropriate for a Scrum Master to do if the Development Team doesn't have the engineering tools and infrastructure to completely finish each selected Product Backlog item?…

Question

Options

• ACoach the Development Team to improve its skills, tools, and infrastructure over time and adjust
• BEncourage the Product Owner to accept partially "Done" increments until the situation improves.
• CRefocus the current Sprint on establishing the Development Team's infrastructure instead of
• DDeclare the Development Team not ready for Scrum.
• EHave the Development Team establish a Definition of "Done" that is actually possible to achieve

• A
  75% (33)
• B
  7% (3)
• C
  5% (2)
• D
  14% (6)

Explanation

When tooling and infrastructure are insufficient, the Scrum Master should coach the team to improve its capabilities over time (A)-this is a long-term, sustainable solution that respects continuous improvement. Simultaneously, the team should define a DoD that reflects what is actually achievable with current constraints (E), ensuring honesty and realistic expectations rather than pretending work is done when it isn't. Encouraging partially 'Done' increments (B) undermines transparency. Refocusing the Sprint mid-course (C) disrupts the Sprint Goal. Declaring the team 'not ready' (D) is counterproductive and not a Scrum Master action.
