During the Daily Scrum, a team member says he does not know when his task will be complete. a) It is acceptable as the Sprint Review date is far away. b) Replace the team member with a new team member. c) The Developers should collaborate to plan alternative steps such as pairing the member with someone else to eliminate the risk of not meeting the Sprint Goal. d) The Scrum Master should mentor the team member on how to estimate the task.

C) The Developers should collaborate to plan alternative steps such as pairing the member with someone else to eliminate the risk of not meeting the Sprint Goal. As a self-managing team, it is the team’s collective responsibility to immediately take steps to resolve issues and meet the Sprint Goal. They still have to discuss how to improve the team member’s abilities, but it is a topic for discussion later in the Sprint Retrospective. This issue is well within the influence of the Developers to solve and hence the Scrum Master’s help is not needed. Correct answer is ‘c.’
