The Product Owner on the birth-certificate e-file team asks the coach to declare this iteration's goal so planning can finish faster. How should the Scrum Master / Team Coach respond?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Declaring the destination from the coach's seat is a bus tour, not a team that chose the route. Birth-certificate work needs a goal the Product Owner and team can both defend. Questions pull that goal out of the room instead of announcing it from the hallway.
Full Explanation
Iteration goals belong to the team and Product Owner; the Scrum Master / Team Coach facilitates the conversation rather than authoring the outcome. Powerful questions help the room name the increment of resident value they will stand behind. Recycling an unused PI objective, emailing a private goal, or substituting an RTE train goal skips that ownership. Facilitation speed is not a reason for the coach to become the goal-setter.
