Question #: 9
Topic #: 2
[All SAFe-SASM Questions]

If a team insists that big Stories cannot be split into smaller ones, how would the Scrum Master coach them to do otherwise?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

When a team struggles with breaking down large stories into smaller ones, the Scrum Master can coach them by demonstrating specific story-splitting techniques. This hands-on approach provides practical examples of how large stories can be decomposed into smaller, more manageable tasks. Techniques might include splitting by workflow steps, by business rules, by user roles, or by data boundaries. By using a specific example, the Scrum Master can illustrate the process and benefits, helping the team develop this essential skill.

I'm going with C as well. Gotta show them how it's done, no matter how 'big' they think those stories are. Although, a story-splitting bootcamp does sound fun - like Scrum summer camp!

Option D is interesting, but I'm not sure bringing in a development manager is the best approach. The Scrum Master should be empowered to coach the team directly.

I'm with you on C. But I also like the idea of a story-splitting bootcamp in the next IP iteration. That hands-on practice could be really valuable.
