A Scrum Master drafts a conflict strategy that secretly steers the housing Product Owner toward a pre-chosen backlog call. What does ethical strategy design require?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A secret playbook on the housing PO is politics, not coaching. Conflict strategy has to be something people can see and consent to. If it only works when nobody knows, it is the wrong strategy.
Full Explanation
Conflict strategies stay transparent and ethical. Covertly manipulating the housing Product Owner, hiding a script—including an AI-written one—or briefing only a director recreates command-and-control and breaks trust. The Scrum Master / Team Coach can still have a designed path: named parties, visible purpose, and consent to the process. Manipulation is not analysis-based strategy design.
