Posted by Amber on Jun 21, 2026 at 05:48 PM

In the Daily Scrum, the Product Owner applauds every Developer who moves a Sprint Backlog item to completion. The Product Owner wants to encourage the Developers to make progress visible on the burn-down chart. Select the two best options for the Scrum Master to take.

(choose the best two answers)

Suggested Answer: C, D

This is a good option because the Scrum Master's role is to help the Scrum Team understand and apply the Scrum framework and its principles12.The Scrum Master should also facilitate and enable the team's self-organization and collaboration12.By coaching the Scrum Team, the Scrum Master can help them realize that the Daily Scrum is not a status update or a performance review, but a time to inspect and adapt their progress toward the Sprint Goal3. D. Tell the Product Owner your concerns about how his behavior may impact the Developers, and ask him to stop attending the Daily Scrum for some time.

This is another good option because the Scrum Master's role is to protect the Scrum Team from external interference and distractions12.The Scrum Master should also coach the Product Owner on how to maximize the value of the product and collaborate effectively with the Developers12. By telling the Product Owner your concerns, you can help him understand that his behavior may create pressure, dependency, or resentment among the Developers, which can harm their motivation, creativity, and autonomy . By asking him to stop attending the Daily Scrum for some time, you can give the Developers some space to self-manage their work and communication.

I get that the Product Owner is trying to motivate, but I wonder if option A is too passive. Shouldn't the Scrum Master intervene somehow?

I think I've seen a similar question before, and it was about maintaining the Daily Scrum's purpose. So, C seems really relevant.
EL

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option D could create tension. Maybe the Scrum Master should focus on coaching instead?

I remember discussing how the Scrum Master's role is to facilitate, not dictate, so I think options B and C might be the best choices here.
