In practice, processes do not always run smoothly. For each of the situations listed in this exercise, briefly answer the following questions:
- Is there a potential violation of a Scrum rule or an agile value? If so, which one(s)?
- How would you resolve the situation?
The situations are as follows:
a) The product owner challenges developer estimates for the time and effort needed for work items. The product owner is convinced that the developers are inflating their estimates.
b) It appears that, for lack of time, some essential product backlog items will have to be dropped entirely from the project.
c) Pressured by a loud stakeholder, a product owner comes to a daily scrum and pushes for the acceleration of work on certain items.
