Question

Harassment on the shelter-intake team is being treated as a “healthy Agile conflict.” Which strategy should the Scrum Master / Team Coach choose?

Accepted Answer

Treat harm and safety as an HR and safety issue, not as constructive conflict to facilitate away. — Harassment is not a spicy standup. Shelter-intake staff need safety, not a clever reframe into “healthy conflict.” That path goes to HR and safety—facilitation theater is the wrong tool.

Answer

Facilitate a team retrospective so the harassment can be inspected and adapted as a process issue.

Answer

Reframe harassment as a methods conflict and run interest-based bargaining in the next team sync.

Answer

Timebox a same-day story argument so the shelter increment is not delayed.
