Two civic-broadband teams raise local velocity by delaying a shared fiber-splice window the ART needs. What should the Scrum Master / Team Coach coach?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Fast local velocity while the shared fiber splice waits is two crews paving their own block and never connecting the street. Residents get broadband when the whole slice works. Give up a pretty team chart for the splice the ART actually needs.
Full Explanation
Cross-team collaboration means optimizing the ART and resident outcome, not local team metrics. Delaying a shared splice to protect velocity is local optimization that starves the increment. Canceling the fiber work or celebrating isolated charts repeats that error. The Scrum Master / Team Coach helps the teams see the whole and accept a local tradeoff that delivers the connected service.
