You manage a product development organization. One of your employees, a subject matter expert and a stakeholder for a product being developed, expresses that he feels that a newly formed and relatively inexperienced Scrum Team lacks critical skills they will need to be successful.
To fill this gap, he recommends replacing some members of the Scrum Team with new members who have better skills in the areas of concern. Based on these conversations, what do you do?
(choose the best answer)
A. Talk to other experts in the subject matter expert’s area of expertise to determine whether the original subject matter expert’s perspective is valid.
B. Recommend that the subject matter expert raise the skills gap concern with the Scrum Team but leave the decision on what to do with the Scrum Team and support them as needed.
C. Hire external consultants to fill the Scrum Team’s skills gap.
D. Work with other team managers to trade people between teams to address the skills shortage.
