Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I)Scrum Theory & PrinciplesMedium
A Scrum Master observes that during Daily Scrum, Developers primarily report their individual progress to the Scrum Master, rather than discussing their collaborative progress toward the Sprint Goal. The Scrum Master also notices that impediments are often not raised until they become critical. Which aspect of Risk Management is most impacted by this behavior?
- ARisk Identification
- BRisk Analysis
- CRisk Monitoring and Control
- DRisk Response Planning
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Risk Monitoring and Control
The Daily Scrum is a key event for monitoring progress and identifying new risks or impediments. If Developers are not openly discussing collaborative progress or raising impediments early, the team's ability to continuously track, assess, and address evolving risks and issues is compromised, which falls under Risk Monitoring and Control.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Risk Identification is about discovering potential risks, which is happening, but poorly.
- B. Risk Analysis is about understanding the nature and impact of risks, which isn't the primary issue.
- D. Risk Response Planning is about deciding how to deal with identified risks, but the problem is with ongoing vigilance.
Risk Monitoring & Control
The process of tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risks, identifying new risks, and evaluating the effectiveness of risk response plans throughout the project.
- Continuous process, often integrated into daily work.
- Requires open communication and visibility.
- Aims to ensure risks are managed proactively.
