Steven is a Scrum Master of a Development Team that has members working in different cities and time zones. Organizing the Scrum events is time consuming and requires a lot of effort to set up and run. The Development Team proposes to only hold the Daily Scrum on Mondays.

Which two responses would be most appropriate from Steven? (Choose two)

A. Coach the team on why having a Daily Scrum every day is an important opportunity to update the Sprint plan and how it helps the team self-organize work toward achieving the Sprint Goal.
B. Ensure that there is an overall consensus by having the Development Team members vote.
C. Help the Development Team understand that lowering the frequency of communication will only increase the feeling of disconnect between the team members.
D. Acknowledge and support their decision.

Correct Answer: A, C

The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum Team understands the purpose and value of the Scrum events. Because the Daily Scrum is owned by the Development Team, it will decide how best to run the event. And if needed the Scrum Master will coach the team to ensure the decisions stay within the boundaries of the Scrum framework.
