Court e-filing developers want Scrum because they like Sprint Goals, while records clerks on the same labeled “team” want Kanban. What should the SM/TC check first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When developers and clerks want different methods, the first question is not 'Scrum or Kanban?' It is 'are we even one team?' A shared label on a court org chart is not an Agile Team. Sort the design, then pick the method.
Full Explanation
Method selection follows a real Agile Team that shares work, goals, and the ability to deliver. Mixed-group arguments often mean two specialties were bundled under one name. Administrator preference, RTE assignment, or a morning/afternoon split all skip that design check. The SM/TC first tests whether one cross-functional team exists; only then does Scrum versus Kanban make sense.
