Hi,
I am currently studying to take the PSM1 exam, and upon reading the scrum guide a couple of times I noticed this weird little contradiction.
In the role of the scrum master, it says
"The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring Scrum is understood and enacted. Scrum Masters do this by ensuring that the Scrum Team adheres to Scrum theory, practices, and rules."
Later, this gets contradicted in my opinion at the Daily Scrum section, with the following text:
"The Scrum Master ensures that the Development Team has the meeting, but the Development Team is responsible for conducting the Daily Scrum. The Scrum Master teaches the Development Team to keep the Daily Scrum within the 15-minute time-box.
The Scrum Master enforces the rule that only Development Team members participate in the Daily Scrum."
According to the second quote, it's the Scrum Master's role to make sure the Development Team has the meeting, and that it sticks to the timebox of 15 minutes. But shouldn't the Scrum Master also make sure that all 3 questions or answered, as this is part of "ensuring that the Scrum Team adheres to Scrum theory, practices, and rules"?
This would also change the answer to the question about the Scrum Master's role in the Open Assessment.
Would like to get some input on this, and hear some different opinions on this. (Excuses for the lack of paragraphs, I saw no help with formatting. If someone could point me out how to do paragraphs I'll edit this)
