Elections-systems team events always run over because there is no timebox or parking lot. How should the Scrum Master / Team Coach protect outcome focus?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An elections meeting with no clock is a precinct that never closes. Timeboxes and a parking lot are not rudeness; they keep the session pointed at the outcome. Park the side trails so the team still leaves with a plan, an inspected increment, or an experiment.
Full Explanation
Facilitation structure—timeboxes and a parking lot—protects the outcome the event exists to produce. Open-ended discussion, dropping timeboxes because the domain is "important," and handing leftovers to the RTE all trade focus for overflow. The Scrum Master / Team Coach timeboxes elections-systems events and parks off-topic work so inspect-and-adapt still happens inside the slot. Structure is how outcome-based events stay honest.
