A senior manager has asked an agile team to ensure that the data for the burndown charts are updated in real-time. However, the team is not comfortable with this approach as they think this is not productive.
What should the scrum master do?
A.
Ask the product owner to manage and share the metrics with appropriate stakeholders.
B.
Meet with requestors to agree and align on reporting requirements.
C.
Deny the request and explain the team's stance to the stakeholders.
D.
Work with the team to create the metrics requested by the stakeholders.
The Scrum Master should facilitate a conversation between the team and the senior manager to understand the purpose and expectations behind the request for real-time updates to the burndown chart. By aligning on the reporting requirements and discussing potential impacts on team productivity, the Scrum Master can ensure that the metrics are meaningful and do not interfere with the team's ability to deliver value. It's important to find a balance between transparency and efficiency, ensuring that the team’s workflow isn’t disrupted by unnecessary administrative tasks.
