Scrum Master Simulator
Facilitate, unblock and hold the line when the sprint is under pressure
15–25 minutes Scrum Masters, team coaches and anyone preparing for a Scrum Master interview
The situation
It is day six of a ten-day sprint. Two of the eight committed items are at risk, one developer is quietly overloaded, and a stakeholder has asked for a late addition described as 'tiny'.
You play: Scrum Master of a team mid-sprint
In the room: Product Owner (protective of scope but under commercial pressure), Developer (overloaded, avoids saying so), Stakeholder (senior, persuasive, wants the late addition), Engineering Manager (worried about the team's velocity trend)
