Anonymous pulse notes say the vital-records team fears the Product Owner. How should the Scrum Master / Team Coach treat that data?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Fear of the Product Owner is not an HR-only footnote—it is a performance alarm. Vital-records work dies in a room where people will not speak. Safety data belongs on the same table as flow.
Full Explanation
Psychological safety and team health are first-class assessment data. Anonymous pulse notes that the vital-records team fears the Product Owner are a performance signal, not a matter to file only with Human Resources. The Scrum Master / Team Coach includes that evidence when assessing the team and coaches the working agreement. Discarding fear because it is not a flow metric, or escalating to replace the PO before a team conversation, skips the coach's job.
