The tree-removal-permit team is arguing solutions before anyone agrees on the problem. What powerful question should the Scrum Master / Team Coach ask?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Picking a chainsaw before you know whether the job is a stump or a sidewalk crack is how you wreck the street. "What problem are we actually solving?" parks the solution pile until the permit team shares one problem. Speed-to-code is not the same as solving the right thing.
Full Explanation
A powerful question can interrupt premature solutioning and restore a shared problem statement. Tree-removal-permit designs will diverge uselessly if the team has not agreed what resident or inspector problem they are solving. Racing to Friday code, deferring to a vendor, or waiting for the RTE to choose architecture skips that alignment. The Scrum Master / Team Coach uses the question to re-center, then lets the team design from a common problem.
