What is the best action for the Scrum Master to take?

A. Ask Paul to stop attending the Daily Scrum
B. Coach Paul and Development Team members on the purpose of the Scrum events and let them figure out what to do in this situation
C. Allow the Paul to participate in the Daily Scrum as he is responsible for the success of the product
D. Facilitate the Daily Scrums to avoid any conflicts between the Development Team members and Paul

Correct Answer: B

The Product owner can attend the Daily Scrum meeting but he or she should not actively participate in the meeting and try to micromanage the progress. The Daily Scrum is intended for the Developers to discuss their daily work so they can spot impediments early.
