After my PSM assessment there are still some unclear things. I don't fully remember the questions and answers, but that is what I want to know:
1. Which task better fits to the PO role?
- Provide Feedback
- To advise with stakeholders
=> I'm sure, that both is quite important. First the PO must explain all questions and details of the PBIs to the DevTeam. Otherwise they cannot work. Second the PO represents the interests of all stakeholders, so he/she must know what they want and explain it to the team if necessary. But answering that question I must select one of them (there were also other answers that I has excluded)
2. One person makes problems in the DevTeam, who can fire that person?
- DevTeam
- Management
- s.o. else
=> Here it was difficult to decide. In my opinion the DevTeam should talk about the problem and try to resolve it as a self-organizing group. If this is not possible they should try to satisfy the person to go by itself. The DevTeam has not the rights to fire a member, but the decision should come from them. The only one who is able to fire a person (or to assign it to an other team) is the management (independent on scrum). So here it is quite difficult to select the "right" answer. For scrum I would answer DevTeam, but this is unrealistic because of laws or working contracts.
What do you think about the upper questions?
