You manage a development organization. The Scrum Master of one of the Scrum Teams you are responsible for requests that you only communicate with the team through her. What do you do? (choose the best answer)
A.
Agree to her request, yet indicate that there may be occasions where you may still communicate directly with the Scrum Team. As a leader, it is your responsibility to help the team retain focus.
B.
Do not agree to her request. Explain that management holds you accountable for the Scrum Team’s results, and that you need access to the team to fulfill your responsibilities.
The Scrum Master facilitates communication within the team and shields it from unnecessary interruptions. While respecting the Scrum Master’s role, there may be cases where direct communication is necessary for leadership purposes. Balancing both responsibilities maintains the Scrum framework’s integrity while allowing for managerial oversight when needed.
