Mlapshin Quiz - If an inspector....
All,
I was reviewing this question on mLapshin's quiz (very useful quiz indeed), although this question confused me.
Category: Scrum Theory
If an inspector determines that one or more aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits when an adjustment must be made?
After clarifying all the details with the Product Owner
The deviations should be discussed at the Daily Scrum and then an adjustment must be made
After Scrum Master approval
As soon as possible to minimize further deviation
He makes reference to an "inspector". I assume we are talking about someone from the SCRUM team that takes part in SCRUM events where inspection and adaption takes place.
He also refers to "deviates outside acceptable limits" - My mind immediately jumps to events being timeboxed and perhaps going over their timebox.
I assume the answer is to ensure frameworks and activities are kept on track as soon as possible to ensure the team is pointing in the right direction and adhearing to standards.
Should I be reading this question in any other way? Are there any fundamental gaps in my thinking as to what this question alludes to? Would you read this question any other way?
Best regards,
Hi there,
I think the deviation is about the work or increment and not scrum rules. An inspector is someone close to the work including team, PO, and SM. Correct answer is As soon as possible to minimize further deviation
An inspector can be both internal or external. For example, for Sprint Review, Stakeholders can be the inspectors considering the business perspective. They can provide valuable feedback if the Product Owner causes a deviation from business goals.
On the other hand, you have a direct sentence in the Scrum Guide, this question is testing it:
"If an inspector determines that one or more aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits, and that the resulting product will be unacceptable, the process or the material being processed must be adjusted. An adjustment must be made as soon as possible to minimize further deviation."
Thanks all.
