After every playground-inspection defect, staff rotate blame among testers, inspectors, and developers. What should the SM/TC coach as a high-performing-team characteristic?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Passing the hot potato after a playground defect does not fix the swing. High-performing teams own the outcome together—testers, inspectors, and developers on the same side of the fence. Blame rotation is just a slower way to keep kids at risk.
Full Explanation
Collective ownership of outcomes is a high-performing-team characteristic: quality belongs to the whole playground-inspection team, not to a rotating scapegoat. Individual blame, permanent silos that make blame easier, and hiding defects until someone confesses all protect people at the expense of the system. The SM/TC should coach shared ownership, visible defects, and joint problem-solving so the next increment is safer. Performance is the inspection result residents get, not a clean individual scorecard.
