Product Management asks the parks-reservation Team Coach to write every Team PI Objective so “planning goes faster.” How should the coach respond?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Faster planning that skips the parks team is just the coach doing the team's homework. Team PI Objectives are the team's commitments, not a Word doc the Scrum Master ghostwrites. Facilitate the conversation; do not become the author.
Full Explanation
Team PI Objectives are created by the Agile Team during PI Planning, with the Scrum Master / Team Coach facilitating the discussion. Unilateral authorship by the coach, copying last PI's objectives, or handing authorship to the RTE all bypass the team's ownership of what it will deliver. Speed that removes the people who will do the parks-reservation work is not a SAFe acceleration. Facilitation without overreach is the advanced SM/TC stance.
